EPISODE 17 ~ INCREASING PERSONAL POWER ~ YOGIC PHILOSOPHY WITH TENDAI ANGELA ROKKONES ‪ FRIDAY I NOVEMBER 27TH 5:00 PM, CAT‬.  

In this episode, Tendai Angel Rokkones deeply explores the yogi energetic and mechanics of the five metaphorical human body layers called koshas. The five koshas include Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijanamaya and Anandamaya kosha, they are meant to bring awareness of who we are at the core.  She further expands on the eight limbs system of yoga which serve as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. These limb systems give direction on utilizing movement within self and acknowledging the spiritual aspects of our nature. They embrace non-violence, truth, non-stealing, sexual energy, non-attachment, self-discipline, contemplation of true self and can be used to create our reality.   Tendai takes us on a powerful journey of using breath control to align and ground thyself. She highlights on the concept of creating from within and being a magnet and mirror of what is inside us. Moreover, she explains the role of feminism and the power within womanhood. She also sheds light on how sexual energy can be transformed to creativity.  She reminds us to be vast in using personal power to understand who we are as manifestations of those who came before us. This will influence our African mentality and knowledge in forging the future.
