More Than Energy Centers: The Chakras In Tantric Yoga
Jan 31, 2024Let's dive into a topic that might reshape your understanding of the spiritual journey. When we think about chakras, most of us imagine the familiar '7 chakras' that have become a staple in modern spiritual practices. But did you know there's a different system, a much older system of chakras that has been used in classical Tantra and Tantric Buddhism for well over 1000 years? This was a revelation to me. When I learned about this ancient system from my teacher*, my understanding of chakras transformed significantly. They became a lot more than psychological and emotional centers in my body to 'clear' or 'balance'. Instead, I started to understand that they are part of a sophisticated energy body that are used for several purposes on our spiritual path. In this video I’m going to talk about what those purposes are, and give you a peek into the amazing world of the chakras, from the view of classical tantra. *Christopher Wallis, Tantric Scholar, Practitioner and Teacher
