☛ Seven Chakras: The System of Subtle Energy Centers
The Seven Chakra System represents various focal points of energy used in ancient meditative practices, especially within the Tantra traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
The concept of chakras appears in early Hindu texts, where they are described as centers of both physical and spiritual energy. While Hindu traditions often detail six or seven chakras, Buddhist texts typically focus on five. Ancient Sanskrit scriptures present chakras as visualizations—depicted as lotus flowers associated with specific mantras—and as vital energy centers within the body.
In Kundalini Yoga, practices like breath control (pranayama), visualization, mudras, bandhas, kriyas, and mantras aim to channel subtle energy through these chakras, awakening higher states of consciousness. Modern interpretations sometimes describe chakras as complexes of electromagnetic activity, blending positive and negative energetic fields through the subtle network of nadis (energy channels).
This hand-painted thangka beautifully illustrates the chakras, offering a powerful aid for meditation, alignment, and spiritual awakening.
☛ Introduction to Thangka
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is an intricate Tibetan Buddhist painting used as a visual guide for spiritual practice. Crafted with extraordinary precision on cotton canvas or silk appliqué, thangkas portray deities, sacred narratives, mandalas, and symbolic representations.
Thangkas are traditionally kept unframed and rolled for storage like ancient scrolls. To protect their intricate craftsmanship, they are mounted on luxurious textile backings and often covered with silk veils. Proper preservation in dry environments is crucial for maintaining their beauty and integrity over time.
