We are all beings of light. Our bodies are pervaded and rejuvenated by energy lines between our major and minor chakras. When we practice yoga asanas (postures), these energy lines create triangles of light that connect us to universal light and energy. Focusing on them and feeling them during yoga practice can raise our vibrational frequency and help us move toward yoga’s eighth step--the state of enlightenment.
Drawing on yoga’s original teachings, Yoga of Light reveals how to awaken and energize the chakra triangles of light with the practice of asanas, breathing, visualization, and meditation. Exploring the universal web of light and our place within it, as well as the body’s electromagnetic field, or aura, yoga expert Pauline Wills provides a concise introduction to the ten major and twenty-one minor chakras instrumental in forming the yoga triangles of light. You will discover how visualizing and, eventually, feeling these triangles as you practice the postures energizes the body, allowing you to connect to your own inner light. This wakes up all cells in the body and imbues them with increased energy. The triangles also firmly connect us to the sacred geometry of the universe, aligning us with the greater cosmos.
The author includes an illustrated, step-by-step guide to the asanas, detailing how to perform them correctly, and clearly explains and depicts the triangles of light formed within each posture and their specific health benefits. She also includes a series of exercises and breathing techniques to affect and increase control of prana, the life force within the body, as well as simple exercises, warm-up movements, meditations, and visualizations to help familiarize yourself with the major chakras instrumental in forming the triangles of light.
Yoga of Light reveals how, by working with the triangles of light, we can each become more aware of our connection to the web of light and the greater universe. This book, for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, shows how anyone can increase the benefits of their yoga practice by engaging and energizing the triangles of light.
The reviewer received a review copy from the publisher, Inner Traditions Publishing.
Yoga of Light: Awaken Chakra Energies Through the Triangles of Light by Pauline Wills, is a handsome 7” X 9” volume with numerous full color photos and illustrations, many full page. Everything about this book is luxurious, the feel of the cover with its French flaps, the thickness and feel of the pages, the consistent aesthetic throughout, all contribute to the top quality of this book. However, for those who prefer, there is an ebook version also available.
The author, Pauline Wills, is a noted London-based teacher of yoga and author of many previous books.
The thesis of the book is that various chakras can be opened and/or healed by certain alignments of given yoga poses. To fully appreciate this book, you will need to have some familiarity with chakras and chakra theory. Wills is working with 10 major and 22 minor chakras. Those minor chakras, which include points on the hands, wrists, and feet, are essential to the subsequent alignments Further, you need to have some acquaintance with yoga positions. (Yes, the yoga positions are shown, but without previous instruction your successes will be limited…and you can hurt yourself.)
Having a modicum of knowledge about both the chakras and yoga positions, which are reviewed in the text, you can then access the breakthroughs that Wills illustrates in which you assume and hold certain poses in a manner such that you line up designated minor and major chakras.
This book is a lovely coffee table book, but also a breakthrough book for those with the preparation to fully engage with the teachings inside.
