The visual atlas

One map at a time.

Four visual studies: Tamil Siddha, Qigong, Kriya Yoga and Tibetan Mahayana, each with its own context and limits. Change the model to change the question.

These are editorial concept diagrams. They are not measured anatomy, a common chakra system or instructions for an advanced practice.
