KNOWLEDGE

Start here

You don't need to believe in chakras, nadis, or prana to feel energy in your practice. Start with what's already tangible - your heartbeat, the warmth in your palms, the tingling rush after legs-up-the-wall - and build your sensitivity from there. Your body is already generating electromagnetic fields, emitting light at the cellular level, and existing at the quantum level as both matter and energy. The yogis knew this, in their own language. Science is finally catching up.
