Title: Learn Yoga to Awaken the Heart
1Yoga To Awaken The
Heart
2Activating the Chakras to enable one to delve
deeper into the bodys emotional response, (the
Bhavas) to Asana.
3What are the Bhavas many may ask?
In this context it means emotion, sentiment,
state of mind or body. Also, the Bhavas are
referred to as attitudes to cultivate
yoga. Duty Dharma Knowledge Jana
Detachment Vairagya Self reliance Aishwarya
4Using postures to lift the energy that pools
around Muladhara and Swadisthana and encourage
it to rise. But before it rises and awakens
Anahata, we must be emotionally ready.
Energy Up
5We start with Ajna, we activate this chakra
first, then we move to Muladhara, Swadhistana
and Manipura. Through a series of Asanas and
practises we encourage the Prana Shakti to
Ascend. We then move to the Anahata and we
remain there through longer, more sustained
periods.
6As we flow from Vajrasana to shashankasana and
the prana starts to rise, we may feel the urge
to release, to let go of any dis ease that we
have brought to the mat today. As we come to the
knees, raising the arms, arching back, opening
the Hridayakasha (the heart space), we start to
feel the gratitude swell within, as we lower the
hands and body into the extended child, with
grace we awaken more deeply this emotion of
gratitude and devotion, as we strike into
shashank bujangasana we continue to open the
heart as we send the energy up the spine from
Muladhara and Swadhistana.
7This is just a small example of how we can come
to the mat to feel deeply. To manifest joy
in our lives through our practise and ensure
the journey is a happy one.
