Today, Kundalini Yoga is widely practiced across the globe in various forms and often goes by different names, such as "Chakra Healing" or "Chakra Meditation".
The term "Chakra" has gained increased recognition in recent times, largely due to the growing popularity of yoga and New Age philosophies.
In Sanskrit, "Chakra" translates to "wheel" or "circle", similar to "Kundal", and refers to the Kundalini energy as explained in another blog. The Chakras denote the spinning energy centers within the body which play a pivotal role in our overall well-being, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and specific areas of our energetic body that influence both our physical and emotional health. For a healthy and happy life, one’s chakras are expected to be “open” and aligned.
While some texts mention a staggering 114 different chakras, when we refer to "chakra meditation" or "chakra healing," we are generally alluding to the seven primary chakras aligned along the human spine. Kundalini yoga aims to awaken and activate this energy, enabling it to ascend through the chakras along the spine. This rising Kundalini energy is believed to balance the chakras and contribute to one's spiritual well-being. Through consistent practice, Kundalini yoga is thought to lead individuals to spiritual enlightenment.
Conversely, an imbalance in the energy of these seven primary chakras is believed to manifest as various physical ailments.
According to ancient texts, each of these main chakras is associated with a unique name, mantra, and yantra. With the advent of New Age philosophies, specific colors, fragrances, and healing stones have also been assigned to each chakra.
Candles have become an integral component of meditation practices because they offer a convenient means of infusing fragrances, herbs, and healing stones or crystals, all in one accessible format to augment the healing process.
In Chakra meditation, candles are crafted using pure essential oils, crystals, and herbs to enhance the overall meditation and healing experience.
Selecting the appropriate candle can greatly enhance your meditation and healing journey.
