Meditation Centres - location of the Chakras in Yogasana
Meaning : The value of Yogasana is greatly enhanced when a sadhaka , while practicing Yogasana , concentrated his mind on spiritual nerve-centres , called Chakras. It is because the mind withdraws itself from all objects of the world & starts concentrating on inner consciousness or what is called Prana Shakti. This practice will prevent the mind from flying into worldly thoughts & objects & stabilize itself on one point of concentration.
There are vital centres in the astral body(Linga Sharir). These have corresponding centres in the spinal cord & the nerve-plexuses in the gross-body. Each Chakra has control & function over a particular centre in the gross-body , that part is inspirited with Prana Shakti while concentrating the mind on these Chakras. As a result , that organ receives a full flow of blood & increased functional capability.
In the union with other organs & communicative nadis , it becomes far more active & far more useful in its effectiveness in that particular part of the body where it is located. By concentrating the mind on these Chakras , both the gross & the subtle bodies are stabilized , which is the chief end & objective of Asanas.
