CHAKRAS

The physical body is a series of separate, yet related systems of energy. This system is referred to in the ancient texts as the Chakras. A Chakra is the interface point between the physical and non-physical form. The Chakra wheels of light are structural blueprints, serving a conduits for the compliment energy information held in the Higher Self or Cosmic Forces. They lie along a linear pathway between the Crown Chakra, located at the top of the cranium, and the Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine. Actually we have 72 Chakras on the body and 22 which we can work with our inner self, including the 7 primary Chakras

Root Chakra:

Color: Red

Located at the base of the spine (Kidneys - Spinal Column)

Vitalizes the Kidneys and feeds the life giving system - the will to live - and the fundamental instincts for survival. Stores our Chi energy.

Crystal: Jasper, Clear Quartz

For grounding; Kundalini energy is stored here, transformation can occur when these energies are aroused and allowed to rise up within you and penetrate each Chakra above. The energy joins the Shakti energy at the Heart Center, continues on and leaves the body through the top of the head - or Crown Chakra. As this happens, spiritual growth and awareness of other levels of energy and perceptions occur.

Spleen Chakra:

Color: Orange

Gonads, Sexual Organs, Sacral - Lower back

Located between the Asis bones of the hips. Vitalizes the sexual life organs of reproduction and processes prana (or oxygen) from the atmosphere which then vitalizes the entire system of major and minor Chakras.

Crystal: Topaz, Carnelian

For health, sexual energies, digestion, and purification. This energy can be used for creativity, spiritual awareness and integration. It also influences our self-esteem.

Solar Plexus Chakra:

Color: Green

Pancreas - Adrenals - Stomach - Gall Bladder - Nervous System

Vitalizes the sympathetic nervous system, which activates our involuntary muscles and gets the body ready for activity. (Adrenaline) This Chakra can bring to us joy, sadness, gut feeling reactions and heightens emotion.

Crystal: Emerald, Black Obsidian

This is the male creative force or YANG energy in the body. It brings to us our desires, other people, and controls our emotions and physical power. The Solar Plexus energy helps to create our future and causes us to have "gut feeling reactions" or "psychic impressions". When out of balance or holding negative energy, it can cause us to think and act in unhealthy ways.

Creates the possibilities of choices. What are the consequences of my actions and how will they be effected? Take a different choice than your conditioned response by following your intuition and integrity. Witness your body's energies - do you feel comfortable or uncomfortable? When we choose actions that bring happiness to others the energy that returns to us is happiness and success. This is a very important Chakra and houses our will, intention and integrity.

Heart Center Chakra:

Color: Yellow

Thymus - Circulatory System - Blood

Vitalizes the life stream through the pumping of the heart center, and controls the circulation of the blood. The heart feeds all cells within the body structure. Vitalizes the vegas nerve, the largest nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system. When open it helps us remove fear blocks, and brings compassion in the form of spiritual love. Through our Heart Chakra we can feel a connection and sense of oneness with others.

Crystal: Rose Quartz, Amber

Unconditional Love, self-acceptance, and the place where Spirit can guide us to higher levels of being and loving. The heart is the Mother in all of us. Kindness, Forgiveness, Love, Peace and Harmony along with Laughter and Playfulness.

Throat Chakra:

Color: Blue

Thyroid, parathyroid - Alimentary canal - Lungs

Located between the shoulder blades. Vitalizes the lungs and voice. Communicates the concrete thoughts received from the Solar Plexus.

Crystal: Sapphire, Turquoise

Self-expression, communication, affluence, discernment. This is the Mother Chakra and begins the three YIN or female energy chakras of the body. You can inflict pain or kindness with the voice. What is more important to know is the voice represents our "Intent". We will decree a thing and it will be so. Therein lies the mystery of manifestation. As Louise Hay states in "You Can Heal Your Life", ..."where thoughts go, energy flows." Our life experiences comes directly from our thoughts, then speaking it, then our actions. Inherent within every intention and desire is the mechanics for it's fulfillment. The voice had great organizing power.

The Third Eye:

Color: Indigo

Brow Ridge Chakra - Pituitary - Left Eye - Nose

Vitalizes the cerebellum (or lower brain) and central nervous system, which consist of the brain fibers connected at the base of the brain and top of the spinal cord - or 9th Chakra, and anchors the conscious stream from the etheric body.

Crystal: Ruby, Lapis

Knowledge, truth, freedom of the etheric double, intuition. The Third Eye helps you to see all circumstances around you, and is the key to wisdom and controlling/directing the "Life Force" energies. While meditating and working the chakra energies, colors, pictures, feelings and an inner knowing will come to you through the Third Eye. This is the ultimate power center for healing others, and allows you to Astral Project or work with your "etheric double" at will.

The Crown Chakra:

Color: Violet

Center of the top of the head

Pineal - Connects to 8th Chakra - 6 inches above the head - Right Eye

Vitalizes the cerebrum (or upper brain) and anchors the etheric stream into the physical body. It is the direct connection to our Higher Self and brings reverence, knowledge of Infinity, insights from the Spiritual Self - or Etheric Double and brings dedication to God from the Spiritual Will.

Crystal: Diamond

Immortality, Angels, Grace, Communing with the Divine Forces, Self-Realization. Through the Crown Chakra you can literally reach the heavens or other energy realms. You can rise through the center of your head and "astral travel" with your Guides. You can project healing, and pure, unconditional love energies anywhere in the Universe. This is where the "power of prayer" becomes reinforced. This is the center where you bring in the Spiritual Forces through Shakti Energy to purify the body and join the kundalini energies in order to reach a "nirvana" or total purification and re calibration of the cellular structure and DNA system of the body. You can "erase karma" through Divine Grace brought through the Crown Chakra into the Heart Center.

The seventh chakra, associated with the pineal gland, interfaces with an Infinite Grid of radiant energy - information - light frequency - as well as a higher HOLOGRAPHIC expression of itself as a pineal gland. It is through this interface that the reality of the human experience becomes apparent. The human being is not the individual and independent being as we perceive. Rather, it is a continuation of energy seeking expression through multiple energy vortexes of expression. The body is connected to one level of an interlocking series of grids, connected to the Hierarchy, with each system sustaining its own range of energy information. These grids, having seven sections or sets of vibrations, with seven levels of knowledge in each section, are ranges of experience referred to as Dimensions.

In aging or illness, the Chakras begin to collapse into the body and slow their rate of spinning. the ancients knew of this and designed rites or rituals of mantras and meditation techniques to maintain the vitality and spin-rate of the chakras. Recommended as a daily meditation practice, these movements are not aerobic in nature, through they may be performed quickly and are used in Tibetan Monasteries as a mode of prayer, meditation and physical maintenance.
