The
chakras are different coloured energy
centres that originate from seven different
points in our body. Chakra is a Sanskrit
(East Indian) word that means "Wheel".
For millennia the chakras have been visualized
as round balls, blossoms or spheres of
light that can open, close, darken, brighten
and spin! The location of each of the
seven chakras represents a different aspect
of human experience. Our emotions, ability
to connect with others and physical health
are thought to be reflected in the condition
of each chakra.
Seeing
your own chakras requires mental focus
and powers of meditation. Remember these
are imaginary entities that were invented
by great mystics thousands of years before
medical technology. The manipulation of
these spheres or wheels of light, particularly
the brightening and opening of them is
thought, by many, to relieve a variety
of ailments.
There
are seven main chakra centres in the human
body and the correspond with the seven
colours of the rainbow or light spectrum:
The
Red Chakra, also often referred to as
the Root, First or Base chakra is at the
base of the trunk of the body and is thought
to correspond to the sex drive and to
primal drives such as the desire to procreate,
survive and destroy. This is the chakra
to work on if you are having troubles
with your health.
The
Orange Chakra, sometimes called the Second,
Sexual or Spleen chakra is in the abdomen
and relates to the lower digestive organs.
It corresponds to our ability to physically
digest and eliminate food, emotionally
digest events and process them in a healthy
way and emotions such as joy or affection.
This is the chakra to work on if you are
having trouble letting go.
The
Yellow Chakra, sometimes called the Third,
Stomach or Solar plexus chakra is located
in the upper stomach area just below the
rib cage. It is the centre where we connect
to others on an astral level and it relates
to our abilities to transform or manifest
events.
The
Green Chakra is located in the chest and
is related to the lungs and heart. It
is sometimes called the Fourth or Heart
chakra. It represents the flow of energy
and flow of love in our lives as well
as our ability to connect to others.
The
Blue Chakra, sometimes called the Fifth,
Thyroid or Throat chakra relates to the
immune system, the regulation of hormones.
It represents our ability to communicate
effectively with others as well as creative
and personal expression.
The
Indigo Chakra, sometimes known as the
Sixth chakra or the Third Eye, is located
just slightly above and between the eyebrows
on the forehead. It is related to the
pituitary gland and mental and spiritual
processes, as well as intuition, second
sight.
The
Violet Chakra, also sometimes known as
the Crown chakra, the Seventh chakra,
the White chakra or the lotus chakra is
located at the top of the head. It is
thought to be the gateway or connection
to the spirit world, ascended masters
and the higher self. It is the receptor
of divine wisdom and divine inspiration.
When
functioning well, the chakras are thought
to be a conduit for the constant flow
of energy through out our bodies. If these
chakras are blocked, slowed in their spinning,
darkened or not working, then you can
correct this imbalance by imagining them
being cleared from negative energies such
as resentment, fear or trauma. Tuning
up your chakras can make an enormous difference
to your sense of well-being in general
as they conduct the natural flow of energy
through our bodies. Chakras that are blocked
are thought to cause physical disease
and emotional and spiritual dis-ease.
Common blockages are negative emotions,
the desire to hurt, being emotionally
hurt, and the holding on to of fears and
resentment and sometimes past life issues.
The chakras interact with each other in
a constant dancing of the spheres that
extends outside our bodies. They exist
in a constant state of renewal that can
be enhanced by meditation, creative visualization,
light working and breath work.
