The triangles also firmly connect us to the sacred geometry of the universe, aligning us with the greater cosmos. This wakes up all cells in the body and imbues them with increased energy. 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. 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.
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. 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. When we practice yoga asanas (postures), these energy lines create triangles of light that connect us to universal light and energy. Our bodies are pervaded and rejuvenated by energy lines between our major and minor chakras.
