Intro to Purnam Prayer
Vocal Warm Ups
Chakra Toning
Chakra Toning is a practice designed to cultivate a relationship with each of the energetic centers, as well as to develop the sensitivity to feel the subtle energies flowing through each Chakra. We use this practice in order to clear any stagnancy and balance the flow of Prana through the energetic anatomy.
Do not worry if you do not feel much to begin with. With repeated practice we are able to cultivate more sensitivity.
Remember that intention is key. Visualize the energy flowing through each center as you repeat each of the sounds for each center.
On the first day, watch the video as part of the Daily Practice, then each subsequent day, simply follow along with the audio below.
