Chakras

The Chakra System in the Body:
Chakras are centers of energy in the subtle body, focal points of power, located along the spine. They are depicted as wheels (the actual meaning of the Sanskrit word ‘chakra’) in the form of lotus flowers, with different numbers of petals, as seen by the ancient ‘rishis’ or seers of India. There are seven main chakras universally known, and two more that we will explore during this workshop.
If we where to understand our energetic system as a series of channels, the main chakras would correspond to the main intersections. Our ‘prana’ or vital force, flow through these energy channels, known in the Vedic system as ‘nadis’, which is a Sanskrit word meaning riverbead containing water. There are 72 thousand nadis and they are the equivalent to the meridians, in the Chinese system.
There are three main nadis: the IDA, on the left side of the spine, the PINGALA, on the right side of the spine, and the SUSHUMNA, along the spine. The Sushumna nadi is the central channel along the spine. Both Ida and the Pingala nadis begin at the base of the spine, and twine around it, intercrossing at the seven main chakras. They terminate at the level of the brow center, and the Sushumna nadi continues flowing through the crown center.
The Kundalini is our own vital energy that sits at the base of the spine, and flows through the ida and pingala nadis, like two serpents, resembling the shape of the caduceus symbol.
In addition to the chakras and nadis, our energy body has three main circuits, knows as ‘granthis’ or knots. These knots act as breakers that control the amount of energy that flow through this intricate system. The RUDRA granthi, located in the navel center, the VISHNU granthi, in the heart chakra, and the BRAHMA granthi, in the crown chakra.

  1. You've seen them before.

    Sage masters who seem to create MIRACLES.

    They travel vast distances and exotic lands to
    learn an ancient art.

    Kind of like David Carradine in the TV show Kung Fu.

    Well one healing art , called Reiki, is an ancient
    art so powerful that Reiki masters heal illnesses and
    ailments JUST BY TOUCHING the person.

    Sometimes, they don't even touch the person.

    They just place their hands over the affected
    area, and it HEALS.

    It gets better, Reiki Masters can even heal people
    over vast distances!

    This is Jedi level healing!

    However, for centuries, mastering the art of Reiki
    has been practically impossible for outsiders.

    But my friend Owen, has changed all that.

    With his system or Reiki Mastery, he uncovered a
    CONSPIRACY.

    A conspiracy to prevent people from learning, no,
    MASTERING Reiki.

    Here's the deal: Reiki was INTENDED to be learned
    quickly and easily.

    That's what the original creator of Reiki intended.

    Owen UNCOVERED this conspiracy and how to
    teach Reiki the way it was ORIGINALLY taught.

    The result: You can attain MIRACLE results in DAYS
    instead of years.

    Change your life.

    In hours.

    But that's not all.

    You can change other's lives.

    P.S. - Owen is offering a special training that
    won't be around forever.

    He's planning on releasing his training methods on
    a large scale.

    But for now, it is invitation only.

    So, if I were you, I'd take advantage of that as well.

    Look forward to hearing from you!
