Chakra Theory and Meditation with Paul Grilley

I bought this DVD as I love Paul Grilley's work. I've read lots about the chakra's and energy medicine - and I've never quite gotten why it's important to add this element to my spiritual practices. To be honest,what I've read has felt pretty "woo-woo". Paul showed me why it's important to add chakra theory and meditation to my spiritual practice within about 5 minutes of the DVD beginning. He presents a wealth of common sense practical information so that I could "eat the elephant" one bite at a time so to speak and make this material applicable to my daily life. Basically, what he says is the reason we want to open up to chakra theory and meditation is to change our samsaras (i.e. which I roughly define as clinging on to people, places and things in an unhealthy way) and improve our lives both on this plane and beyond. I'm not nearly as concise or articulate as Paul and his material transcends my verbal abilities but suffice it to say that my life is forever changed as a result of learning this material and putting it into practice. He is a brilliant scholar who can speak plain English so that people can understand that these ancient teachings are deeply practical in modern life. You owe it to yourself to explore this material. . . you won't be sorry!

I wanted to love this but I kept falling asleep while watching. Better to watch when you can focus

I've recently been introduced to Paul Grilley's work & I am thoroughly impressed. This DVD contains information that went way beyond my yoga teacher training, which was heavily steeped in interesting Tantric philosophy. Paul's manner is straightforward & exceptionally clear, so anyone can understand the important aspects of chakras-- what they are, what they influence, & how we can work with them. He explains things in a scientific manner, by which I mean there isn't any froo-froo on top of what he shares here, making this information even more accessible to all kinds of people. I love that he makes a point of being so inclusive, pointing out that this information can work for people of many different religious backgrounds.I believe that anyone interested in spiritual disciplines will greatly benefit from this DVD.

Silent Think Time: How to Bring Virtues Back into Our Home, Schools, Counseling and Work  THIS EXCELLENT 5 STAR QUALITY DVD IS EXTREMELY WELL DONE AND WORTH WELL OVER WHAT THE DVD ACTUALLY COSTS! I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND IT FOR EVERYONE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND PSYCHIC FLOWS OF ENERGY. IT HELPS DELVE DEEPER IN SELF REALIZATION USING PRICELESS PRACTICES THAT ARE PRESENTED WITH SUCH CLARITY THAT IT CAN BE EASILY USED AS A VERY USEFUL GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. IT FOCUSES ON ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH THE CHAKRAS, AND ASPIRES PRACTICING DEVOTEES TO PURIFY THE KARMA, ALLOWING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF AWARENESS OF MIND AND BODY CONTROL.

I was curious as to how Paul Grilley would handle this subject, wondering if it would be as matter of fact as his others. It is well done, and he does use the familiar, down-to-earth, matter of fact manner. Very nicely done.As he works through the theory it got more difficult for me, so I watched it by sub-section at a time. That worked like a charm, and the information 'stuck' with me. It's a great introduction to Chakra Theory and Meditation indeed.

Paul Grilley's video is an excellent presentation on the chakras. Paul gives practical information in a format that is easy to understand. He explains esoteric knowledge in a clear, concise manner. Each section left me wanting to watch and know more. This video is a must-see for reiki practitioners, yoga students or anyone on the spiritual path. I can't wait to read his other books. Paul is a gifted teacher. Karmic Healing: Clearing Past-Life Blocks to Present-Day Love, Health, and Happiness

One of the very best programs to learn the ins and outs of the chakras and how you can use meditation with breath to affect the chakras and create physical, mental and emotional healing and well being In your life. The information and tools you are given are presented clearly and with easy instruction. The results are immediate and profound. A true must for anyone who wishes to progress in their meditation studies,

the DVD is the second DVD of Paul Grilley I ordered and as the first one it is very organised, well explained and for me perfect learning material. It makes it easy to follow this complex subject and fun to listen his way of explanation.So for me it is a perfect DVD I will use a lot as reminder or refreshener of the Chakra Theory and meditation subject. I an highly recomend it.

I've dipped in and out of the theory chapters on this DVD and so far I'm impressed. I'm not sure if I'm cut out for actual meditating, but the theory lectures are great.For each chakra, Paul Grilley sets out the associated:- astral emotion- causal thought- awakened qualities- spiritual disciplineMr Grilley explains from a Taoist perspective; the cycle of samsara and the concept of samskaras are new to me.One illustration that stuck with me is that puberty is activated by Shakti; teens develop an inner realm, and they begin to keep secrets from their parents. They want to go and do what they want to do. I'll leave you to guess which chakra!Also, I'm impressed with the bonus chapter which briefly explains the links between chakras and the energy meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

thorough yet approachable

Very, very good first impression
