Chakras seem to be illuminated by the sunset (Image of Robin Ellen Lucas © Simeon Schatz)
My advanced studies through the last 20 years of yoga have taken me on quite the crusade through yoga philosophy. I experienced these lessons in my own yoga practice through the nuanaces of the subtle body. In summary,
Through living life and yoga with balanced chakras—one of yoga's many benefits—I get in touch with much of my own darkness and light through my subtle body. When darkness arises in yoga, I have learned that you can demystify the fear by facing it head on. This is a study in neuroscience. I wrote this poetic version of how I experience the chakra system.
The system of Yoga is best described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The sutras contain a whole philosophical description of yoga with 196 sutras, divided into four chapters. Each chapter contains a wealth of ideas and wisdom to guide the aspirant towards full knowledge of his/her own real nature.
