Awakening the Higher Chakras

Weekly Class
Two Registration Options:  Live Classroom or Audio via the Internet

July 19^th - August 30^th

7 Monday evenings     7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

This class presents the third in a series of advanced teachings not previously offered at ClearLight that are the subject of deep investigation throughout this year.

For hundreds of years in many traditions, meditation on the chakras has been a central practice for awakening to enlightenment.  The chakras are vehicles for transformation at many levels: our physical body, our energy body, our emotions, our personality, how we manifest in the world, and the awakened qualities of our spiritual essence.

 This class will build on the previous class Transformation Through Awakening the Chakras - Part 1 which focused on the lower Chakras (1 through 4).  Here we will focus on the higher chakras (5 through 7) and the chakra system as a whole for developing 7 essential states of awakening: Stability, Pleasure, Power, Love, Acceptance, Awareness, and Oneness.  

By meditating on the chakras we learn to bring more balance and harmony to our body and mind.  We identify how blockages or an excess/deficiency of energy in our chakra also manifest in our emotions, our personalities and our life circumstances.  As a part of our work, we will do ‘Karmic clearing’ of each charka.  Using inquiry and exercises we will explore our relationship to these 7 areas of our life.

As we bring all of our chakras into wholeness and harmony, it provides a natural basis for recognizing and resting in the experience of our most essential nature.

Practice will include some gentle yoga to inhabit and open the body, focused deep breathing (pranayama), meditation to awaken the subtle energy of the chakras, and resting in the Natural State

What to bring: Please bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable layered clothing.  Chairs and some meditation cushions are provided.  Please bring your own cushion.  If you are not able to do some of the yoga postures or to sit on the floor, that is no problem since modifications are possible so that everyone can participate. 

All participants in this class are strongly encouraged to attend the One Day advanced retreat “Transformation Through Awakening the Chakras”  (date to be determined). 

This retreat is designed to immerse the participant in the experience of what is being studied in the class and cover more nuanced material that pertains to deep practice.   It is through intensive practice of these teachings that they come alive and we make them our own.  It is through retreat that most participants experience “breakthroughs” in their spiritual journey that cannot occur in daily meditation or weekly classes. 

Retreat is also where a bonding with others in the group occurs and a sense of support and community is felt.  For these reasons we strongly encourage participants in these classes to attend the retreats.
