We live in perpetual state of identification with and attachment to changing internal conditions and external circumstances, not seeing our true nature.  The Ancients said that the cause of this perpetual cycle (saṁsāra) is the bondage of – Avidyā (ignorance), Kāma (desire) and Karma (action) – resulting in the tension and suffering of distorted self-perception, unfulfilled desires, and incessant activity.

The Ancients said that this three-fold bondage forms the framework of our personality, and called it, collectively, the Hṛdaya Granthi: the “knot of the heart”.

Discover of the “knots of the heart-mind” (hṛdaya-granti) in relation to the bondage of desire, action, and ignorance as they manifest through the cakra-s and influence our feelings, thoughts and behavior. 

In this series, we will work with the “Knots of the Heart-Mind” as they manifest through the cakra-s.  Using specific meditation technique, learn to surface and deactivate the ‘land mines’ that block us from realizing our full potential.
