In the summer of 1979 Paul Grilley was inspired to study yoga after reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. After two years study of anatomy with Dr. Garry Parker, he relocated from his home in Columbia Falls, Montana to Los Angeles to continue his studies at UCLA.

During his thirteen years as a yoga teacher in Los Angeles, Paul studied Taoist yoga with martial arts champion Paulie Zink. He also had the opportunity to study with Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama in Japan, as well as host seminars with him in the United States.

After twenty years of reading and study in the philosophies Taoism and Yoga, Paul took a sabbatical from teaching and completed a Master's Degree from St. John's College in the study of the Great Books of the Western World. Paul enjoys reading in esoteric subjects and science, continuously looking for bridges between these two fields of study. He lives in Ashland, Oregon with his wife Suzee.

Join internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and scholar Paul Grilley for an extraordinary presentation on the chakras and the yogic path of the spirit. Never before has this knowledge and these priceless practices been presented with such clarity, brilliance and accessibility. This DVD is destined to become a seminal guide to spiritual development.


The Essential Energy System

Chakras are subtle centers in the brain and spine that regulate the physical, emotional and psychic flows of energy through the body. The fundamental premise of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga and Taoism is that these energies need to be brought into the yogi’s awareness and control if the mind is to be calmed and the authentic Self revealed.

This groundbreaking DVD outlines the basic anatomy of this essential energy system and its operations in the physical, astral, and causal bodies. The unique characteristics of each chakra are described in four specific dimensions: physical location, organs they control, emotions they express, and mental characteristics they embody. These ideas give strong theoretical support and general guidance for those who wonder how and why chakra meditation should be done.


An Eminently Practical Guide to the Heart of Yoga

Along with nearly 4 hours of in-depth theoretical presentation of these concepts, Paul offers specific physical and energetic practices to develop awareness of the chakras, and describes the karma that is associated with each one. This is followed by meditation techniques that aspiring yogis may use to purify the karma that operates through each chakra, achieving a deeper understanding and appreciation for the powerful role these elements play in our lives.

These guided meditations include Listening to Nada Sound, Ham-Sa / So-Hum Mantra, Soshumna Purification, as well as individual bandha techniques for each chakra. As a special bonus, we’ve provided MP3 versions of all these meditations in a data folder on the DVD. These files are only accessible on a computer that is capable of reading DVD-ROM content.
