Enmanuel Torras Mata

Anahata represents the center of our being at all levels: physical, emotional, mental and energetic. It is essential to internalize that it is from the heart where the opportunity to transform and transcend the reality that conditions and subjects us appears. That is why Anahata means “silent, pure, intact place”.

In Tantric Buddhism, the navel chakra is extremely important. There is the famous practice of Tummo, or internal heat, similar to the awakening of kundalini that causes an experience of great joy. This practice is considered to be the first and most important of the 6 Naropa yogas.

The second center of force, Svadhishthana, is located in the area of the sacrum bone. It represents sensory awareness, eroticism, imagination, sleep, and is associated with creative potential energy.

The awakening of Muladhara Chakra is very important, first, because it is the seat of Kundalini, and second, because heavy energies (Tamas) also reside that make it impossible for us to evolve.

Simhasana is a strong seated asana, incorporating a powerful breathing technique with a forceful exhalation. The name comes from Sanskrit simha, meaning “lion” and asana, meaning “pose”.

Dandasana is a simple seated pose with the legs stretched out in front of the body, and the spine long and erect.
