Dear Feel Love Now Community,

The fifth chakra, visuddha, holds our power of freedom of choice. It can lead us towards awareness of our highest self and pure consciousness (pure thoughts) or it can lead us into false pride (impure thoughts). Swami Shankarananda describes how we can choose healing instead of pain, freedom instead of bondage, and compassion instead of suffering.

About the SeriesExcerpted from a beloved series entitled Kriya Yoga: Inner Path to God, these talks on the “spiritual science of Self-enlightenment” were presented live by the founder of Awake Yoga Meditation, Swami Shankarananda, before he left the body in 2014. Each talk beautifully describes the function of each of the seven chakras in the process of self-unfoldment and shares some specific techniques that you can use right now to either enhance your existing meditation practice or prepare for your own Kriya Yoga journey.

Consider making a financial contribution to Awake Yoga MeditationYour generosity makes it possible for AYM to share Kriya yoga, meditations, and teachings of truth with people around the world. It also allows the community to support the presiding teacher’s Dakshina (reimbursement of basic living expenses for housing, transportation, and insurance). The presiding teacher for Awake Yoga Meditation is Swami Nityananda.

Consider making a financial contribution to Swami’s BowlAs the presiding teacher, Swami Nityananda selflessly offers her wisdom without taking a salary from Awake Yoga Meditation. Your gift honors her giving and ensures she can continue to share her invaluable teachings. The tradition of meditation communities like Awake Yoga Meditation is to support the presiding teacher’s Dakshina (reimbursement of basic living expenses for housing, transportation, and insurance). All of the other myriad expenses of life are offered from student to teacher through Swami’s Bowl.
