Even while the body beautiful aspect of yoga gets sharply defined, its psychic aspect will begin to find a larger audience. Celebs are openly flaunting their spiritualism and the ways through which they seek to reach their spiritual goals faster. Whether it is Madonna discussing Kabbalah or Naomi Campbell wearing pearls to control her anger, it is big news and big business.
In yoga, chakra awareness is gaining ground as people change diets to accommodate the flow of nadis (energy channels): the 'rainbow diet' is of help in this context. Colour therapy, chromotherapy and gemstone healing are all part of the same path that leads to the smooth flow of chakras. So, yoga asana packages and workshops designed to open up your chakras, meditation packages, reiki and pranic healing (both also related to chakra awareness) will make practitioners feel more empowered and in charge of their spiritual destiny.
