Chakras - the psychic centers of Yoga and Tantra

Prana is the vital life force of God which exists all over the universe.  "Prana" in Sanskrit  means "breath".  In vedic texts, prans is recognized as the energy of spiritual light.   Prana is the food that builds the soul body as it draws energy directly from God.   

Prana-yama is the technique of breathing prana through controlled breathing.  Prana is an ancient word which was used in the east for the energy / spirit of God.  The problem with us is the lack of awareness beyond our five physical senses and Prana which is of etheric nature takes a semi-dormant state of existence for us, mostly because of dormant sixth sense.  If you breath like you normally do, you only breath oxygen and not prana.  You have to let prana come within you through meditation as it is you consciously willing God to become a part of you.

Your physical body is interwined with our subtle energy body.  This subtle energy body comprises partly of one's soul energy and the energy gathered from your surroundings and through consumption of food.   Your soul energy is housed within this energy field which will be released upon death when this energy barrier weakens and ceases to exist.  Energy can never be destroyed but it can be transformed.  when various energy paths criss crosses one another, it creates an energy vortex or energy center called as Chakra.


Chakra means a wheel or a disc, which is a terminology used for the energy vortices spinning in the body.   These chakras are formed by vital energy pathways criss-crossing each other and it is this vital energy that forms our subtle energy.  Try to see these chakra points as electric sockets to feed our dimensional body when meditating with prana.

When you medidate on these chakras, it fuels them by harnessing Prana energy.  Prana tends to move from one chakra to another chakra.  Using this prana energy, you can expend them as you will, you can often use it to heal yourself or others,

So if you want to know more about these Chakras.. please buy a DVD titled "Chakras - the psychic centers of Yoga and Tantra" which is a 80-minute compilation which explains in details about the important chakras or the energy vortices.....     The DVD is available for a price of Rs.350 in India.  You need to pay additional Rs.40 as delivery charges...

How to practice Tadasana - Mountain Pose

Tadasana or the Mountain Pose is one of the most basic of all yoga poses for beginners.  The Tadasana is normally the first post taught in yoga classes and fitness centers.  When you are performing a series of yoga positions, you normally begin with this Tadasana.

The Tadasana or the mountain pose stretches out the muscles..  The best time to perform this pose is when you feel your yoga session has turned a little to intense.  If you perform the mountain pose in between a series of yoga asanas helps you to rest your body and gives time to recover.  It also helps to gain concentration.   Here is a step by step method on how to perform Tadasana.

Steps to perform Tadasana

• Step 1: Stand straight keeping your feet flat on the ground with your heels slightly apart. The bases of your big toes should be touching. Distribute your weight evenly between both of your feet. You can achieve this by lifting and spreading your toes.. Repeat this till you feel that your weight is evenly distributed and you are completely balanced.
• Step 2: Keep your thigh muscles firm without hardening your belly. Lift the insides of your ankles ever so slightly so that your feet appear to be cupped. Turn the upper parts of the thighs slightly inwards and lift your pubis towards the navel while lengthening your tailbone. Try to mentally connect your groin to your inner thighs and your torso through an imaginary energy line. This will help you maintain your balance when you are stretching.
• Step 3: Extend your shoulder blades and arch them slightly towards the back. Keep them stretched and then slowly release them back, but while you are doing that, do not push your ribs forward. Lift your sternum slightly and bring your arms behind your torso.
• Step 4: Bring the centre of your head directly in line with the center of your pelvis, keeping your chin parallel to the floor. Soften your throat and eyes. Stay in this position for at lease 30 seconds. If you can keep your balance for longer, try to maintain it for about a minute. Continue to breathe easily.

3.  It corrects the postures.

How to practice Vrikshasana - The Tree Pose

For most of the beginners in Yoga,  the balancing poses are extremely challenging.  Some times it is very hard to do an asana with two feet on the ground, let alone to avoid toppling over while standing on one foot.  


If you’ve ever tripped off a curb or slipped on a patch of ice, you probably understand the benefit of having a good sense of balance. Practicing balancing poses in yoga, such as Tree Pose, will help you gain both physical and mental steadiness and poise.

Tree pose or Vrikshasana  is one of the asanas done in standing position and it is considered to be a beginer level posture. When practiced regularly it increases the body balance as well as increase in concentration. This is one of the initial poses when one starts of on yoga. Once you are adept with this pose then include once or twice in your asana schedule.

The Tree pose improves focus and concentration while calming your mind.   Tree Pose improves focus and concentration while calming your mind. Its Sanskrit name, “Vrksasana” (vrik-SHAH-suh-nuh), comes from two words:

• “Vrksa,” which means “tree”
• “Asana,” which means “pose”

This posture replicates the graceful, steady stance of a tree. Unlike most yoga poses, the Tree Pose requires keeping our eyes open in order to maintain body balance.  The Vrikshasana helps to improve your balance and strengthens your thighs, calves, ankles and spine.  This asana is also good for stretching the inner thighs, chest and shoulders.  

While there are a number of benefits of tree pose, it also improves concentration.   If you are a student, you can immediately notice how your balancing improves when you focus your eyes on a single point.  This article gives you step by step method to practice the Vrikshasana or the Tree Pose.

Steps to practice the Tree Pose or Vrikshasana

• Stand straight with arms by the side of your body.
• Now bend your right knee and place the right foot high up on your left thigh.  The sole of the foot should be placed flat and firmly near the root of the thigh.
• Make sure that your left leg is straight.  Try to maintain your balance.
• Once you are well balanced, take a deep breath in,  raise your arms over your head from the side and bring your palms together in "Namaste" mudra ( Hands folded position).
• Look straight ahead in front of you, at a distant object. A steady gaze helps maintain a steady balance.
• Make sure that your spine is straight.  Your entire body should be like a stretched elastic band.  Keep taking long breaths.  With each exhalation, relax the body more and more.  Breath with a gentle smile on your face.
• Repeat this posture with left leg off the ground on the right thigh.

 Benefits of Vrikshasana
