Yoga for Healing and Well-being
Week Five: SPACE (ETHER)
The element of space, or ether, hosts and connects all other elements. It is our spiritual connection, our spiritual self - the part of us that is beyond time and matter, beyond good and evil, beyond dark and light.
Affirmations: I am expansive, connected, eternal. I am peace.
Vishuddhi chakra is located at the throat, where the thyroid gland is, and can be seen as the purification center, as shuddhi signifies purification in Sanskrit. Its symbol is a sixteen-petaled violet lotus, with a clear circle at the center, representing the element of ether, and a drop of divine nectar.
This center is the bridge between duality and non-dual everything-ness. Through its awakening, we are able to alchemize the so-called negative experiences in our lives into the nectar that fuels our spiritual growth.
