Chakras Illuminated: The Original Function of the Chakra Systems of Tantrik Yoga

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.

Participants in this course will learn:

• About the historical origin of the chakra model in South Asia
• The definitions of ‘chakra’ in the primary sources
• How chakras were (and are) used in traditional Yoga systems
• About the different varieties of premodern chakra systems and why they varied
