MEDITATION PRACTICE: nyasa
Nyasa means "to place" or to "take the mind to a point."
In Nyasa practice you concentrate on a part of your body at the same time as pronouncing a mantra (we will work with the mantras of each chakra) and visualizing an image (in this case, we will visualize the lotus flowers that represent each chakra). With all these techniques combined, we are trying to bring Qi (prana, lifeforce) to that area to purify it, fully opening the nadis (energetic channels).
Nyasa is all about light and sound. Understanding that the human body is an instrument that needs to be tuned. And when you do it in the right way, not only you feel harmony, but also you can start experience the supernatural.

more about nyasa yoga
Nyasa Yoga is a type of internal energy work for the physical body that purifies its structure through activated prana.
Basically, Nyasa Yoga stimulates the body's prana-which is your own latent Qi, spiritual energy, vital energy or life force-into moving and then fully opening your nadis. Through methods that involve mantra and concentration, you generate and then lead your prana from place to place to open various sections of your body, and to create a "shield of divine protection" for the body as a whole.
In India, Nyasa practice is considered an important tantric rite for transforming or purifying your body, but only if you end up "washing" the area with Qi/prana so as to open up the local Qi channels (nadis).
