ChakraVibe recommends yoga and meditation to understand chakra energies.

For every one of us, life is an exploration. Yoga and meditation are central to the ancient teachings about chakras, because they open up other dimensions beyond the physical beingdimension. To begin to understand your chakra energies, you need to take control of your life and, most important, give yourself time to just be. Be guided by the ancient saying: “ I am my own limitation–without my own limitation, I am.”

An excerpt from Patricia Mercier’s book: Chakras: Balance Your Body’s Energy for Health and Harmony

ChakraVibe jewelry accompanied Eoin Finn on his recent yoga video shoot to Bali.

This stunning setting is the background for Eoin’s new Everyday Yoga & Meditation, a 6 DVD yoga + meditation set which launches this fall. We are thrilled to accent Eoin Finn along with his wife Insiya Rasiwalaeoin_finn and fellow yogini Paula Blanchet as they perform yoga and meditations.

Eoin is wearing the Warrior Choker.

Chakravibe’s warrior necklace combines semi precious tiger eye, wood agate, red, brown jasper and brass beads. Tiger eye synthesizes the energies of the sun and the earth associated with the solar plexus, enhancing stability, optimism, good fortune, and physic abilities. Jasper was considered a Warriors Stone providing inner strength and loyalty. Both jasper and agate are very grounding, solid and stable, excellent protective and healing energy associated with the root chakra.

Wearing Chakravibe grounding warrior necklace fosters the qualities one requires to find their way in today’s urban jungle. Inspiring vision, optimism, courage and tenacity to follow your dreams.

Yoga Holiday in India

My friend Christine came to  visit me one weekend and it was great talking about her Yoga trip to India. I love India and have seen both the Norther highlights of India as well as some beautiful spots in the South. Unlike Christine, my trip was not a yoga trip but a bike trip. It’s a little crazy riding a bike in India and my friend Tushar told me not to do it! My partner and I had a wonderful trip and there is simply no better way to feel and smell the countryside, and meet many friendly people who think your bike helmet is to protect you against the rain. The two most popular questions were “how many kids do you have?” and “why do you ride a bike if you can afford to ride in a car?”

Christine covered a lot of ground in just three weeks and has some wonderful photos posted. Take a look: India 2009christine Anusara Yoga and Tika Tantra holiday in India with Christina Sell and Genevieve Gilbreath.

We had a great time at the ChakraVibe booth, meeting some of our tattoo contestants in person.
The stories have been truly wonderful. I also enjoyed getting your feed back on our jewelry line and am inspired
by some of the suggestion and request.
We look forward to our next opportunity to Vibe (or meet) with you again at the Vancouver  Yoga  Pilate Conference and Show coming up in October.
Whether  you’re a new-be or have been practicing for years, the conference is a great venue to connect with people who share an interest in Yoga.
See you in Vancouver!
Namaste,  Teresa
