Guest guest Posted June 30, 1999 Report Share Posted June 30, 1999 Caroline, I know in the past you briefly mentioned the difference between the chakra at the front of the body versus the back of the body. Could you go over this again. I'm asking specifically because sometimes I feel a tightening sensation in the back where my heart chakra would be. I wonder if this is related to a " stabbed in the back " sensation or has more to do with the lung meridian and grief. It is there most recently since finding out I will not be hired permanently in the position where I'm temping. I found this out within the past few days after working her for 6 months and being led to believe I would be hired on ... I also think there may be an association - like a punch in the gut (3rd chakra) coinciding with this tightening feeling in the back of the heart chakra. If one side of a chakra is open wider than the other, what would that mean? I remember years ago, someone telling me that my throat chakra was relatively " normal " in the front (or that I was expressive) but that the back of the throat chakra was more constricted (and having them relate this to shyness - my disposition). Anyone else, feel free to chime in on this thread. I think the within chakra differential must have interesting ramifications.

The front of the chakras reflect what we are actively involved in, current events, emotions, things we " face " ... while the back of the chakras are considered " will centers " and reflect more of what we don't want to deal with, what we " put behind us " or choose to ignore. Pain in the back over a chakra often reflects the same issues as pain or dysfunction in the front, but it might be an older issue that was " forgiven but not forgotten " or put behind you to be dealt with later. The pain means, now is later, deal with me. You also have minor chakras at each joint, so the spine is a long chain of them. If you don't have Louise Hay's " little blue book " Heal Your Body, it is cheap, find one. There is a good chart in it that can pinpoint issues related to each vertebra. > I'm asking specifically because sometimes I feel a > tightening sensation in the back where my heart chakra > would be.

Grief is definitely a heart emotion, and you might even experience compression front to back if you are emotionally hurt. That pain between the shoulder blades is fairly common... we all put those painful feelings behind us until we think we are stronger. The truth is, we are always as strong as we need to be. A blow to your ego may feel like you have been punched in the bread basket... and if repressed can move back into your lumbar spine. > If one side of a chakra is open wider than the other, > what would that mean?

If the issues are quite old and perhaps forgotten, hypnosis might be useful to dislodge and free them easily. You might consider yoga, chiropractic, and other " opening " activities for the back, such as stretching with a Swiss ball or a body bridge. If you are holding in the throat and heart, you might feel chest tightness and hoarseness when stressed and tend to " collapse " your posture to protect the centers (shoulders rounded, chin down). Over time that causes the musculature of your neck and shoulders to fix... leading to that infamous sign of old age, the dowager's hump, or kyphosis. Being shy in and of itself is not negative, but the manifestations of fear and repression can be. Make sure what your motivations are for your silence, and don't let the negative ones settle into your body. It is quite all right to be quiet, if it is the quiet of peace and calm! > Anyone else, feel free to chime in on this thread.
