by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar and David Isaacs, Ph.D.
This is a guide to working with microchakras, the channels within each of the seven major chakras. It identifies 147 microchakras that affect our spiritual evolution and daily well-being, and introduces the field of Microchakra Psychology and its practical component of InnerTuning, the use of precise sacred sounds and mantras to release energy blockages within the chakras.
Bhatnagar developed the InnerTuning technique from his early work with breath and sacred sounds. This discovery of the microchakras inspired his creation of Microchakra Psychology, a blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary psychology that explains the workings of the subtle body and how openings or blockages in the chakras can either encourage or sabotage physical and psychological health and spiritual development.
Each of the traditional seven chakras contains 21 microchakras, which enable the chakras to process information related to our thoughts, feelings and behavior. When the energy is blocked, our physical, emotional and psychological well-being is compromised.
Through InnerTuning, the blockages in the chakras can be released so that the subtle body can become realigned, restoring health.
The authors describe methods for optimizing energy flow in the microchakras using the practice of InnerTuning in order to enhance one’s well-being and promote spiritual growth through the power of sound, breath and the divine energy that resides within each of us.
Includes “Shree Radhaya: The Heart Chakra Mantra,” a 28-minute CD of InnerTuning sacred sounds.
