Throughout history, there are been writings, art, and statues depicting auras and halos which are thought to be a reference to the human biofield. The subtle energies which make up the biofield have had multiple names across different indigenous and eastern cultures and traditions throughout the millennia, such as prana in India, chi in China, Ki in Japan, and more. Many of these traditions are still practiced today.
When one begins to study the history of yoga, you begin to realize that this story cannot be told without the study of the history of India itself.
Similarly, you cannot truly understand the history of India without a deeper study of the dominant religion, Hinduism.
Yoga is as old as the Gods of India themselves, spanning thousands of years past the oldest known written records of the Indian subcontinent, the Vedas.
But like the great tree yoga has become, bearing fruit for millions over millennia, the roots stretch not only deep, but wide.
The human body is a powerful and beautiful machine that, like all biological creatures, it is always striving for chemical equilibrium.
Our body’s endocrine system regulates hormones, also called “chemical messengers” into the body through glands. The hormones are released into the bloodstream and may affect one or several organs throughout the body. What are the organs affected?You guessed it. They line up with the seven chakras!
