Workshop
Yoga & Astrology
Yoga and Astrology demonstrate the existence of universal order at the level of personal development where man’s attention is focused. The elements, chakras, planets and zodiacal signs are energy fields or archetypal patterns revealing the psyche to be as real as any material object and are at play all the time as energetic forces.
The planets are understood as energy regulators in Astrology and are latent within us in the chakra system. They symbolise the universal principles which regulate all energy function within any given system. They manifest as fundamental psychological functions, urges, needs and motivators.
