These
chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of
energy through our energy system. The functioning of the chakras reflects
decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our
life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to
feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world
around us.
The
chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way
that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than
the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the
physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous
system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine
glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus. Thus, each chakra can
be associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within
the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland associated with that
chakra.
All
of your senses, all of your perceptions, all of your possible states of
awareness, everything it is possible for you to experience, can be divided into
seven categories. Each category can be associated with a particular chakra.
Thus, the chakras represent not only particular parts of your physical body,
but also particular parts of your consciousness.
When
you feel tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the chakra associated
with that part of your consciousness experiencing the stress, and in the parts
of the physical body associated with that chakra. Where you feel the stress
depends upon why you feel the stress. The tension in the chakra is detected by
the nerves of the plexus associated with that chakra, and transmitted to the
parts of the body controlled by that plexus. When the tension continues over a
period of time, or to a particular level of intensity, the person creates a
symptom on the physical level.
The
symptom speaks a language that reflects the idea that we each create our
reality, and the metaphoric significance of the symptom becomes apparent when
the symptom is described from that point of view. Thus, rather than saying,
"I can't see," the person would describe it as keeping themselves
from seeing something. "I can't walk," means the person has been
keeping themselves from walking away from a situation in which they are
unhappy. And so on.
The
symptom served to communicate to the person through their body what they had
been doing to themselves in their consciousness. When the person changes
something about their way of being, getting the message communicated by the
symptom, the symptom has no further reason for being, and it can be released,
according to whatever the person allows themselves to believe is possible.
I
believe everything is possible.
Understanding the chakras
allows you to understand the relationship between your consciousness and your
body, and to thus see your body as a map of your consciousness. It gives you a
better understanding of yourself and those
