👋
To complement our World Yoga section and the performance of postures. I wanted to add more information on elements of vital importance. For all those who wish to know about the spiritual field and include the practices of yoga in their daily lives; Let's begin.
Thanks to the previous post we already know that within the discipline of yoga. There are different classes for all tastes, flavors and colors. It just depends on what your preference. Keeping with this information we will move on to our next step. Which is the backbone that every yogi should know. We talk about "chakras".
¿Que son los chakras?/ What are chakras?
The chakras, also called energy wheels, are channels located in specific areas of our spiritual body. We cannot see it, but we can feel it and even perceive it. It is a master key for physical, mental and emotional health, being thus, conductors that filter the energy. They create a kind of convergence of the energy fields. That shape us and stimulate glands that have a vital participation in the functioning of biological systems. But, not only that, they also work on our bodies on a mental and emotional level.
Se encuentran ubicados exactamente en la columna de manera ascendente desde la base hasta la parte superior de la cabeza. Se dice también, que esta energía que atraviesa nuestros chakras, es la energía de la creación, llamada kundalini. En el yoga y en el tantra se eleva esta energía a través de un canal central llamado sushumna, hasta la unión con lo absoluto que es en el ultimo chakra, conecta lo terrenal con los espiritual.
They are located exactly in the spine, ascending from the base to the top of the head. It is also said that this energy that passes through our chakras is the energy of creation, called kundalini. In yoga and tantra this energy rises through a central channel called sushumna, to the union with the absolute that is in the last chakra, connecting the earthly with the spiritual.
Pero ¿Cual es su función?/ What is their function?
By stimulating the endocrine glands, for example, they release hormones into the bloodstream. Where their effects control many functions of our organism, as well as, our mood. As we move forward in exploring how these channels work, we become aware of ourselves at expanded levels of consciousness. We must emphasize that this energy flows through all living beings, not just people. Therefore, by activating them by different ways, we will experience the realm of divine consciousness. Just as animals and plants experience it by their full nature.
¿En que nos beneficia?/ How it benefits us?
As mentioned above, this filtration system is like an energy purifier that is then transformed, as well as, carbon to diamond. This energy is refined in such a way that we can benefit from this wonderful process. We will have greater initiative and responsibility in each step we take through life, awaken characteristics and innate virtues that our soul possesses, greater perception and power of contemplatio. As well as activating positive characteristics in our lives, such as confidence, courage, compassion, discipline, good humor, authenticity, balance. In addition, an authentic connection with other beings, the power of forgiveness and unconditional love.
Damos una vuelta 180° de regreso al origen, entendiendo el valor y el respeto que merece la naturaleza de todas las cosas, empezando por nosotros mismos. Por lo tanto, si empezamos a tener conciencia del funcionamiento de este sistema energético, crecerán y se educaran nuestros potenciales..
We take a 180° turn back to the origin, understanding the value and respect that the nature of all things deserves, starting with ourselves. Therefore, if we begin to be aware of the functioning of this energy system, our potentials will grow and be educated.
¿Desde cuando existe esta sabiduría?/ Since when does this wisdom exist?
Esta sabiduría es muy antigua, en donde escritos védicos llamados Upanishad (filosofía hindú) relatan las características de estos canales energéticos. Sin dejar de mencionar, a los egipcios que con su gran aporte, lo refinaron con terapias como la cromoterapia y aromaterapia. Así como también, existen otros modelos de chakras, incluyendo la medicina china, el kabbalah judío y el sufismo islámico.
