Seven Chakra Healing Set

Chakra Healing Yoga Exercises

The Seven Chakra model is the cornerstone of yoga and an excellent way to understand oneself and approach one’s spiritual growth. I have explained this model in the following articles, and understanding the seven chakra system will help you maximize the benefit of this Kundalini Yoga Set.

Kundalini Yoga Seven Chakra Model Overview

Introduction to Kundalini Yoga

The Kundalini Yoga set in this article is designed to work progressively through each chakra sequentially. The set therefore allows each center to be awakened and healed by the focused energy and prana of each respective exercise. I have added an additional element to this set, which is the visualization of the color associated with each chakra as you do the exercises. This visualization, complements the poses and postures, and helps to further stimulate and activate each center.

The Kundalini Yoga Exercises in this set are all linked and detailed in the Free Online Kundalini Yoga Exercises E-book, where you can get all the details, cautions, modifications, etc. This set will also make up Chapter 12 of our popular Free Online Kundalini Yoga Sets E-book.

Benefits of Seven Chakra Healing Set

The purpose of this set is to introduce you to the seven chakra system and give you some tools and techniques to heal each chakra. There are many effective Kundalini Yoga Kriyas which are focused on healing particular chakras and these are certainly worth learning as well. I will provide such sets in the near future as well.

Another article which will help you determine which chakras need the most healing, as well as gives you techniques to heal these chakras is the following: Chakra Healing | How to Analyze & Balance Your Chakras.

Seven Chakra Healing Set Practice Details:

The following two articles are important for beginner’s to read as they provide guidelines on how to practice kundalini yoga smartly and safely:

Essential Beginners Guide to Yoga Practice

10 Important Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practice

Remember the golden rule is please do not overdo anything. Especially if you are new to Kundalini Yoga, please use the beginner’s version for the exercises where ever provided and back off if you feel uncomfortable or dizzy. Each exercise title is a link to the chapter with the details for that exercise. For all the poses in this set illustrations have also been provided.

You will also need to learn the Breath of Fire breathing exercise, which is taught in the following video: Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama. This breathing exercise is a fundamental breathing technique in Kundalini Yoga and is extensively used in conjunction with the yoga poses. If at any time you feel it is difficult to keep up with breath of fire during the exercise, please switch to long deep breathing or normal breathing instead.

Remember that each title is a link to the article with full details on each pose. Also, in each of those respective articles, modifications for beginners are given whenever required, so make sure you use those modifications as you start out.

In the details below I have given the body location and color you should visualize when doing each chakra exercise. As I mentioned above this will provide additional stimulation in awakening that center.

I also suggest doing the Spinal Warm-up Series, before doing this set as it will help get the body ready and also, prepare the shushumna (central channel for the flow of kundalini) to conduct the energy up the spine and through the chakra centers. This preparation will greatly enhance the healing power of this set.
