If it is the chakras then merely physical application of the asanas will be of little

question correctly... You were asking about the spiritual practice of
opening the chakras... ??? There are certain kinds of meditations like
Shambhavi maha mudra which help to open up the chakras... but as in all
things related to the supreme self, practice, awareness, understanding
the experiences is very important. You can learn theses meditations
under the guidance of a master...<br/>Good luck and happy meditation. :-)</span><div><span class="text_exposed_show"><br/></span></div>
