What really are the chakras? Somatic focal points, energy centers, Cosmological Maps, or all three? In the worlds of yoga, esoteric spirituality, and New Age religion, interest in the concept of the chakras is massive and growing all the time. What is often lacking is a thorough investigation into the original nature and function of the chakras in their tradition of origin, Tantrik Yoga, by a scholar-practitioner fluent in the Sanskrit language. Embodied Philosophy is proud to present an online course that fills that need, giving you access to both information about primary sources and a scholar-practitioner qualified to unpack their meaning and context.

While mindfulness practice is an integral part of traditional yogic forms of meditation, it is just one of several methods used. In both Tantra and other yogic paths, additional methods are employed to deepen the meditative experience and enter a state of concentrated flow and bliss. In this course, you will learn the meditation techniques only philosophically described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. You will also receive recordings, so that you can continue to refine and deepen your meditation skills at home.
