What are the Indriyas ?

In Hindu and yogic philosophy, "indriyas" refer to the senses or faculties through which individuals perceive and interact with the external world. The term "indriya" is derived from the Sanskrit word "indri," meaning power or capacity. According to classical texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Vedanta, there are typically considered to be ten indriyas, which are divided into two categories: Jnanendriyas (Sensory Organs of Perception):   These are the faculties responsible for perceiving external stimuli or objects. Shrotra (Hearing) - Ears Tvak (Touch) - Skin Chakshu (Seeing) - Eyes Rasana (Tasting) - Tongue Ghrana (Smelling) - Nose Karmendriyas (Organs of Action): These are the faculties responsible for engaging with the external world through action. Vak (Speaking) - Mouth Pani (Grasping) - Hands Pada (Moving) - Feet Payu (Eliminating) - Anus Upastha (Reproductive) - Genitals Indriyas play a crucial role in the process of perception and interaction, allowing individuals to gather information about their environment and respond accordingly. In yogic and spiritual practices, the cultivation of awareness and control over the indriyas is often emphasized as a means of achieving mental clarity, self-awareness, and spiritual growth.

Chakras and balance Les 7 chakras principaux What are Chakras?Chakras are energy centers in the human body. The word "chakra" means "wheel" or "disc" in Sanskrit, and refers to energy points that are considered to be located along the spine and correspond to different aspects of the human experience.What are the main Chakras?There are seven main chakras, each associated with a specific color, region of the body, psychological function, and spiritual expression. These chakras are, from the bottom to the top of the spine: the root chakra 'Muladhara' (red), the sacral chakra 'Swadisthana' (orange), the solar plexus chakra 'Manipura' (yellow), the heart chakra 'Anahata' (green), the throat chakra 'Vishudha' (light blue), the third eye chakra 'Ajna' (indigo) and the crown chakra 'Sahasrara' (purple).Imbalances and blockagesA chakra imbalance can occur when one or more of the chakras are blocked, underactive or overactive. This can lead to disturbances in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects.For example, a root chakra blockage can manifest as physical health issues such as chronic pain, fatigue, or digestive issues, as well as feelings of fear, insecurity, or lack of self-confidence.
