Om Divine Grace Yoga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473716905)

Om Divine Grace Yoga consists of four components:

• • MANTRA YOGA

Using mantras for Enlightenment.

The mantra seeks to make our enlightenment a practical experience.

Something we can do through the body and mind down to the tips of our toes and through all emotional mental and physical states.

The type of mantra that will work requires that we understand the chakra centers of our body.

• • KUNDALINI YOGA

Kundalini as the "serpent" energy flows up and down between the body centres.

In Sanskrit these are called chakras, which translates as "wheel".

It's a center that takes in and gives out energy

Traditionally there are mantra like sounds associated with the chakras, plus there are "secret" bija, (seed) mantras.

The bija mantras allow access to the energy of the chakras to move negative energy up and out of the body. Also then Divine energies move down to the specific chakra that is being focused upon.

This focus is achieved with specific seed mantras for each chakra.

• • SHAKTI YOGA

The seed mantras are allied to the Goddess Energy and to the spiritual path of Shakti, (Divine Energy seen as female in presentation).

They are in essence Tantric mantras. The word Tantra means: "go out into the world", or "to weave'". Tantra Yoga simply is about applying the spiritual processes, so as to be out in the world instead of seeking introspection.

By using seed mantras which relate both to specific Shakti forms, and to a chakra, we can infuse our yoga practice throughout the whole body.

As we meditate on all the chakras and their Shakti connection, we release the negative power and receive the Divine Power.

(Tantric mantras can produce awakening of the Kundalini, the primal energy of Shakti).

• • SIDDHA YOGA

The spiritual journey is open to anyone at any time. There are no rules which say you must have a guide, a teacher or a guru. The word guru means "one who leads from darkness to light". A guru must be already in the light to be able to reach out and help others to attain the same illumination. A guru can only affect others to the degree of that guru's own achievement. An enlightened guru can be a Siddha Guru. Siddha means: "with full yogic powers".
