Energy centers are places within us where the currents of life's energies intersect. The yoga tradition has identified several types of energy centers, from the chakras, the major energy centers, to the marma points, the secondary energy centers, to the sandhis or simple junctions. In my yoga practice, we work to balance the chakra centers through meditation, toning, specific poses and affirmations. As we remove stagnation and open the flow of these energy channels, dramatic healing can occur.
Yesterday, I had the good fortune to meet an Inka Master Healer from the Q'ero Nation of Peru. As the translator explained Don Humberto's healing philosophy, I was struck with the similarities to the philosophy of the Yogic tradition. The structure of the Inka tradition includes 7 levels, 7 energy principles and 7 eyes. As I received a healing from this master, he placed Mesas, energy stones or crystals, at my crown chakra, third eye chakra, heart chakra, solar plexus chakra and other power points. His healing was described as removing "heavy energy" and connecting with different nature spirits to fill my "bubble" or aura with the healing forces of nature. Quite wonderful.
