Search - James Jewell :: Opening to Chakra Awareness

Opening to Chakra Awareness is the second collection of guided meditations written and recorded by yoga teacher James Jewell. In two profoundly relaxing sessions, he guides the listener through an exploration of the seven principal chakras of the body. Whether or not you are familliar with this ancient system of energy centers in the body, you will find comfort and renewal in these deeply soothing meditations. With gentle clarity and warmth, James invites us to harness the power and beauty that is already within us to heal old wounds and set clear intentions for the future. Throughout the Opening CD, James Jewells calm, reassuring voice is perfectly complemented by original music from Acoustic Eidolon. The rich, warm tones of Hannah Alkires cello serve to deepen the emotional resonance of the spoken message. Chakra meditation is just one effective way to become more aware of the totality of our being, by shining the light of consciousness into different parts of ourselves. We learn to recognise cycles and rhythms in our body energies. With intent and practice we can bring this interior universe into balance, enabling us to lead fuller, healthier, more meaningfull lives. Setting aside just 25 minutes a day to practice these meditations regularly can bring about subtle but profound changes over time. James wanted to record and share these practices because he himself has benefited enormously from them over the years. Many of his students have found that the techniques work just as well for them. Try it for yourself and you, too, may begin to feel more balanced, secure and better able to access your full potential.
