Yoga and Women: Chakras for Women

Yoga and Women: Chakras for Women

Spread the love:

With an increasing number of people turning to mindful living, yoga, mindfulness meditation, and other mind-body modalities for their overall well-being, health, healing, and wellness, the mantras and chakras have become more widely known.

As energy centers that link our mind, body, and spirit, the chakras provide various access points, and there are various corresponding methods for working with and around them.

What’s been given relatively very little attention, however, is how women might work with chakras differently from men. Just as our physical bodies are different, so do our energy bodies, and learning and understanding to work with these differences can be a life-changing game for women.

So in this article, we will discuss the chakra tools around these differences: what people define as the Women’s Energetics.



Three Guiding Principles:

• Keep It Practical. I want to help all the women use chakras in their daily life. My goal is to provide relevant energy tools for them whether they are new to the chakras or have been working with them for years.

To the Point. If there is one thing women are in the 21st century, it’s always busy. So, this article is a no-nonsense, consistent, easy to access fashion, which can help all women from beginners to experts (As there is always something new to learn)

Specific to Women. The chakras mentioned in this article are specific to women.



Chakras for Women:

The word chakra is a Sanskrit word, usually translated as “the wheel” or sometimes “the wheel of positive light.” Although the most well-known chakra mappings do originate from Ancient India, many other wisdom traditions around the globe have or had energy center mappings.

Most of these systems developed independently of each other (and many do not use the term “chakra” to define them), and have numerous similarities in striking.

In this article, we will be using the word “mapping” because I think it is most helpful to think of chakra systems as maps of the different kinds of positive energy that compose human life and consciousness.

A map is not a practical place itself but rather a tool for navigating a place in the human body; the type of map you need varies according to your core objectives. For instance, if you are visiting LA, you might need a road map, a geological map, a hiking map, or a water access map to reduce the chances of uncertainties.

All of these maps are of LA, but none of them are LA itself. Each map provides a different and very specific way for your mind to comprehend and navigate LA based on your need and your purpose (what you are there to do).
