Synopsis: Kundalini Shakti -- the primordial energy that enlivens each of the seven chakras -- lies sleeping at the base of our spine. To return our consciousness to the crown chakra and cultivate ultimate awareness, she must be awakened. According to yogic tradition, this awakening requires a focused meditation practice. 'The energy of Kundalini is aroused through specific postures, visualizations, and chants. The Shakti surges up the spine in a coiling wave of fire, heat, and light, opening the chakras.' Layne Redmond brings her rare skills as a yoga practitioner, scholar, and sound healer together on Chakra Meditation. Here, she offers a complete course to break through energetic obstacles, increase the natural flow of prana (life force), and give you an inner source of power to pursue your life with purpose, passion, and strength.
