The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha chakra, represents the energetic and psychological centre of expression, communication, and authenticity.
Its name in Sanskrit means "especially pure" highlighting its role in the expression of thought into clear speech, truth, and creative articulation.
This is where our inner world with all of our thoughts is transferred into the outside world through our communication. There is no part of our life that isn't shaped by our communication.

Evidence for yoga raising vagal tone and providing methodology for it's use in mental health conditions.
A great summary and such important work.

Rather old book looking for a new home...

Written by Ian Rawlinson, who was a student of TKV Desikachar, for his students in Cambridge.
It outlines basic principles as he was taught them by Desikachar to pass onto his students.
I think this book dates from around late 1970's/1980.

The front cover has become detatched but the rest of the book/booklet is holding together well.

You'll only need to pay for the postage costs.

Anāhata chakraā€”the heart centreā€” is associated with the qualities of love, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, balance, and harmony.

This energy centre offers the capacity for selfless love (bhakti), which is love extended out to others beyond self love; where we move from concern primarily about ourself to concern about community and humanity as a whole. It's also identified with healing of the emotions, and the ability to see oneself and others with kindness and acceptance.

The twelve petals of the chakra symbol are inscribed with Sanskrit syllables meaning: bliss, peace, harmony, love, understanding, empathy, clarity, purity, unity, compassion, kindness, forgiveness

Not all the chakras have an animal association but anahata chakra does and it is the antelope. The antelope embodies grace, sensitivity, gentleness and speed; qualities that reflect the lightness and openness of the awakened heart.

Global Yoga Therapy Day
I managed to catch the early sessions, particularly enjoying Gary May's session on Parkinson's Disease and therapeutic yoga and Ganesh Mohan's session on Good Breathing.

Lots more to catch up on and I'm looking forward to the videos being shared.

Thank you International Association of Yoga Therapists
A great event. ā™„ļø

The Centre of Power Chakra - The animal symbol for this chakra is a ram - and its seed syllable "ram".

The ram represents energy, determination and assertive driveā€”all qualities linked to manipuraā€™s fiery nature and assertiveness, although this is assertiveness with focus rather than aggression. Just as a ram charges forward with power and persistence, this chakra is about harnessing inner fire (agni) to overcome obstacles, transform inertia into action, and assert oneself in the world.

Background

Yoga teacher and yoga therapist trained in viniyoga, C-IAYT registered.

I believe that Yoga is a process of empowerment for every single person. Yoga can and should support how we live. Its beauty is in its adaptability and breadth whilst providing a structure. It provides a means to develop potentials - in aspects of health, in awareness, in spiritual practice and in self development.

Practising Yoga is undertaking a connection with our self and through that establishing good connections with the people and world around us.
