Chakras Collection: Yoga as a Way of Life – 1983

Chakras Collection: Yoga as a Way of Life – 1983

Chakras – Kriyananda explains the life of yoga and the human qualities each chakra represents. He suggests ways to use knowledge of the chakras for spiritual growth and addresses other topics related to “Yoga as a Way of Life.”

This talk collection is consecutive talks during the Spiritual Renewal Week Retreat at Ananda Village, Nevada City, CA in 1983.

Editing is needed, but the content is so rich, we felt to offer these talks “as is” for now, until we can find a volunteer to sort out the content of the sound files.

They are a comprehensive study of the chakras with guided visualizations in several classes.

Kriyananda talks about the relationship of the chakras to astrology with their positive and negative poles and how the chakras can be the roadmap to higher consciousness.
