CHAKRAS

The chakra are the energy vortex that we have in our bodies

that bring in the universal energies we need to remain living in bodies

.. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel, the chakras are vortexes of energy

present in the ethereal body which permeates and extends beyond the physical

body. There are seven major chakras and they function as pathways for energy

to be taken in, metabolized and sent to the major nerve center nearest

each one. Several more chakras seem to be opening up in many people but

for now we will begin with the traditional seven.

The chakras are located along the line of the spinal column and

are composed of high frequency energy strands that the spiritual eye perceives

as light The life force is channeled to the physical body and its organs

via the nadis and meridians and enters the body through the chakras. the

degree of chakra activity depends on a combination of the physical, emotional,

mental and spiritual development of the individual.

Chakras can be damaged or blocked through an emotional upset such

as conflict, loss or, accident . Fear, anxiety and stress are common causes

of chakra malfunction, it is the disruption of the chakra and aura that

create disease and disturb the energy balance of the chakras. Psychological

problems may cause 'blockages', obstructing the flow of energy into or

out of the chakras.

In general the front aspects of the chakras correlate to our emotional

function, the back to our will function, and the top three chakras to our

reason function. Balance in our reason, will and emotion centers is necessary

to good health and well being. the amount of energy flowing through our

chakras determines how well we function.

Here is a brief overview of the seven main chakras we will go into these

knowlege of truth

Palm Chakrasand transpersonal chakras

I also want to mention the chakras in the palms of the hands, often

relegated to minor status. These chakras transmit healing energy and receive

energetic information fron the universe. The palm chakras are used to channel

healing energies to yourself and others and to receive impressions of the

energy of a room, person, situation, etc. These minor chakras make a major

difference in the quality of life when they can be opened by intention.

practice in becoming aware of the energy of the palm chakras is a good

place to start if you are at all interested in energy work and spiritual

healing. healing chakras may also activate in the fingertips.

 

Tranpersonal chakras

The most important of the emerging transpersonal chakras are

the thymus or etheric heart in the upper chest which governs compassion

and inner peace and the connection to world soul.

The Soulstar about a foot above the head which brings in spiritual

energy from the spiritual core

and the Earthstar about a foot below our feet that brings in and connects

us to the Earth energies it is important to develop the Soulstar and Earthstar

simultaniously.

The most important change happening at this time is the unification

of the chakra functions all the chakras are beginning to work together

much more than in the past.

There are alternate colors which may be in chakras as well as or instead

of the traditional attributes. The chakra is not always one color

there may be other calors visible if you see aura colors. Root chakra

colors include the earth tones as well as deep red Orange, red orange

and rainbow all are reported in the sacral. solar plexis tends to stayyellow

-- heart can have pink and gold in addition to green. Throat

stays pale blue or sky blue but can include silver , brow can be

indigo or purple -- crown can be purple or

gold or white or rainbow . There can be other colors in

each chakra of course.

Lots of folks get into heated discussions about different theories about

the chakra and energy body The truth is all the systems and true

and none of the systems are true and that is the truth.

It does not matter if you

have 5 -8- 12 - 89 chakras in 1-7 -8 -32 auric layers it does

not

matter if they exist at all or not if they are open or closed or disks

or vortex or wheels or petals or flames.

What matters is that you have a way of working with energy and

reality

and have concepts that promote health and balance and make sense

to you.

It does not matter if it is your own personal reality construct

that

works for you or if you choose to use one of the many systems of defining

the energy body that various collective minds cultures have agreed

to

create and work with .

Confusion can arise when people try to reconcile different systems

or

impose one over the other or percieve one system but try to read

it

from another

awareness of the confusion will help you refine the system that you

use

to become aware of the health and balanced or unbalanced state of your

energy body and whole self .

The only absolute is change. rules and structures and symbols

and

signs and Gods and planets are tools for spiritual expression

and

advancement just as water can be liqiud or solid ice or insubstantial

vapor all things change .

it is all at essence Ku which is the void not emptiness

but

undifferentiated potential (thats not all ku is but it will do for

this ) everything is energy all the differences we precieve are simply

variations in frequency or "wind" patterns

We have agreed to use certain rules and blueprints but we must

not

assume that they are inflexible

at various times the most effective rules such as those about the

structure and function of Chakra wil seem to change to reflect the

most

effective attitude at the current state of unfolding .

That which is can handle adapt and contain all these varients and more

maybe what works for you is to sweat the details but somewhere

hold

the knowing that both the big picture and the details are in flux are

effected and created by your ,everyone's and ALL thought

will and Love

-emotion not being a complete word for what is meant
