In an earlier post, Senior Editor Kaitlin Quistgaard described how Gary Kraftsow had been teaching svadhyaya (self study). "Figure out who you are," Gary said, "then decide for yourself where to put your attention." 
In the afternoon portion of today's all-day intensive, Seane Corn expanded on the same theme. Using the Chakra system as a map to self study, she demonstrated how to identify where we might find blockages, resistance and judgement impeding our self-actualization and hampering our actions in the world.
In this video Seane beautifully concludes her "Spiritual Activism: Cultivating Awareness through Intuition, Mysticism, and Yoga" workshop. Click to watch video.
