COMPASSION

Submitted by Anonymous3483 on

A couple of weeks ago I had a tricky week, a change in medication sparked off some considerable physical, emotional and mental discomfort, yet there is always a lesson to be learned when we experience difficulties and challenges.

Niyama (1): Saucha

If the Yamas were all about putting our foot on the brake pedal then the Niyamas are about putting our foot on the accelerator!

The first of the Niyamas is Saucha, meaning purity or cleanliness. This refers to both the body and the mind.

Keeping the body clean is not simply about washing thoroughly every day, it also involves taking exercise and ‘eating clean’. Obviously our yoga movements and sequences help to remove blockages and to keep the body in good condition. Getting out in the fresh air helps to purify our lungs, our blood and all our internal systems.

Invisible Wheels (3): Manipura

I like to think of the Manipura chakra as our POWER centre. Located above the navel and below the diaphragm in the solar plexus region of the body, it is often called the solar centre.

Sometimes it is called the jewelled city or the lustrous gem. For those who see the colours of their chakras, we are moving from the orange of swadhisthana to the bright yellow of manipura. 

Whenever it is out of balance we may experience any of the following:

Invisible wheels (4): Anahata

The HEART centre. This is number 4 of the 7 main energy centres and plays a very important role in transforming energy from the lower centres (which have to do with the way we treat ourselves and those around us), up to our higher centres (which eventually connect us to the Universe or the spiritual realm or however we perceive it). The chakras gradually rise from the gross to the more subtle... as such, anahata or the heart chakra, is an enormously important centre to work with.

Exploring Fullness

In this mornings session we contemplate on what fullness means to us (and I don’t mean after a big lunch!) Completeness and a sense of deep inner connection is the essence of the Sanskrit word poornam or fullness.
