An increase of the flow of energy inward and upward through the astral spine is a major tool for awakening and unlocking the chakra ‘gates.’

The Keys to Energy & Vitality
The chakras are the energy-distribution centers in our spines and brains. Far from being abstract concepts, they hold the keys to physical and emotional health, determining how we react to life and how we experience the world.
During the Retreat
What You will learn
A proper understanding of the chakras and the laws that govern their working can be a powerful tool for healing and self transformation.
Locating & Purifying
Find the chakras within your own spine and learn techniques to clear old blocks.
Qualities & Colors
Discover each chakra's true characteristics and colours — often quite different from modern New Age definitions.
Increasing Vitality
Learn to increase the flow of life-force (prana) through your astral body for greater energy and wellbeing.
Practical Tools
Use visualisation, affirmation, colour, sound, music, and breath to attune more deeply to astral energies.
A Whole System
Work with the chakras as a unified, connected system rather than as isolated parts.
Direct Perception
Move beyond reading about the chakras to experiencing their reality directly within yourself.
“I’ve learnt about chakras from many different sources. This is the most helpful explanation I have come across. I fully get how chakras work. Kavita has taken the mystery out of it. It all makes so much sense now.”
Highlights of the retreat
The Energisation Exercises of Paramhansa Yogananda — a systematic approach to becoming
aware of, and directing, the life-force in every part of the body.
Chanting and music to awaken the energy of the chakras. Discover how specific vibrations
resonate with each center, opening pathways to deeper states of awareness.
Guided practices to increase the flow of energy in the astral spine — turning your attention inward
and becoming an active participant in your own healing and growth.
