A Kabbalistic View of the Chakras

 

This article places the chakras onto the diagram of the Tree of Life.

by

Rebekah Kenton

 

 

The chakras are connections between the physical and psychological bodies.

They are situated in the spinal column but their reflections can also be

perceived as whirling discs in front of the body. As for the exact physical

location points in the body, there is much literature available that deals with

this in detail. My reference is Kundalini Tantra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

and all quotations are from this book.

 

The physical aspects of the chakras have many implications for health and

healing. However, from the Kabbalistic point of view it is more interesting to

concentrate on the psychological aspect and evolving consciousness, and as such

the chakras should be seen on the Jacob's Ladder on the psychological or

Yeziratic Tree of Life.

 

There are seven major chakras, but there are also numerous smaller chakras

connected to and governed by them. Maybe that is why there are so many different

views on the subject. I hope that relating the major chakras to the Kabbalistic

scheme will help to clarify the underlying principles.

 

According to the tradition, there are lower chakras that are responsible for

the evolution of instinct in the animal kingdom and no longer active or

conscious in humans. In the animal body, these inferior chakras are situated in

the legs. On the Tree they can be seen as Malkhut. There are also said to be

higher chakras above the Crown, and these can be seen as different levels of the

Beriatic Tree. Little can be said about them as they belong to the realm of no

form.

 

Paradoxically, the awakening of the chakras should start as high as Ajna or

the Third Eye. One needs a degree of Wisdom and Understanding, a certain

philosophical outlook and detachment, to be able to cope with the psychic

phenomena that follow the awakening of the lower chakras.

 

 

 

 

Mooladhara Chakra (Base); Yesod

 

" The Sanskrit word moola means 'root or foundation' and that is precisely what

this chakra is. Mooladhara is at the root of the chakra system and its

influences are at the root of our whole existence. In tantra, Mooladhara is the

seat of kundalini, the basis from which the possibility of higher realization

arises. "

 

The ordinary ego-mind of Yesod works and runs our lives more or less

automatically. It is not until one takes steps towards spiritual development

that this chakra awakens and its functions become conscious, which can be a

painful experience.

" All the passions are stored in Mooladhara, all the guilt, every complex and

every agony has its root in Mooladhara chakra. It is so important for everybody

to awaken this chakra and get out of it. Our lower karmas are embedded there, as

in lower incarnations, one's whole being is founded on the sexual personality. "

 

The awakening of any chakra is rarely a sudden event. It may take several

years or lifetimes. In order to move on from Mooladhara, one has to clear the

barrier of ignorance, egocentricity, attachment to physical pleasures and

material objects.

 

 

 

 

Swadhisthana Chakra (Sacral); Hod-Nezah

 

Reaching Swadhisthana means that one is starting to penetrate the Hod-Nezah

threshold of the unconscious. Usually one has to face the lowest manifestations

first; there may be excessive fear (Hod) or sexual fantasies (Nezah).

 

" This stage of evolution is known as Purgatory, and if you read the lives of

many of the great saints, you will find that most of them encountered great

turmoil and temptations when they were passing through this stage. "

 

It is interesting to note, that in traditional symbolism the animal related to

Swadhisthana is a crocodile. It is here that we encounter the dragon as

described in mythology and fairy-stories, in other words the unconscious aspects

of our psyche that are preventing us from evolving.

 

The way forward is keeping to the Path of Honesty. " One must have detachment,

which is the outcome of a thorough analysis of the situations of life. To get

beyond Swadhisthana you must improve the general background of your

psycho-emotional life " .

 

 

 

 

Manipura Chakra (Navel or Solar Plexus); Tiferet

 

" In the same way that the sun continually radiates energy to the planets,

Manipura chakra radiates and distributes pranic energy throughout the entire

human framework, regulating and energizing the activity of the various organs,

systems and processes of life. " Poorly functioning Manipura means lack of

vitality, depression and ill health.

 

If this is true regarding the physical body, the more important it is

psychologically. Manipura or Tiferet is the Self, the midpoint of the psyche.

" It is the centre of dynamism, energy, will and achievement and is often

compared to the dazzling heat and power of the sun. "

" When the consciousness evolves to Manipura, one acquires a spiritual

perspective. " This refers to the position of Tiferet as the Kingdom of Heaven.

In Mooladhara and Swadhisthana the consciousness is still preoccupied with

personal matters and resolving old karmas, but in Manipura one starts to realize

the possibilities in becoming truly human.

 

However at this level one may fall for money, sex and power instead of

striving for truth, goodness and beauty. The temptations are becoming more

subtle as one starts developing siddhis or psychic powers. Attachment to these

powers often makes one believe one has " arrived " , thus blocking further

development.

 

 

 

 

Anahata Chakra (Heart); Gevurah-Hesed

 

Anahata operates at the level of the soul and symbolically relates to the

awakening of the heart. It is important to remember the warning about the

barrier: " The second psychic knot is located at this heart centre. It represents

the bondage of emotional attachment, the tendency to live one's life making

decisions on the strength of the emotions rather than in the light of the

spiritual quest. "

 

Awakening this chakra is the key to fate and freewill. " Anahata chakra is

almost completely beyond empirical dimensions. One depends solely upon the power

of one's own consciousness rather than on anything that is external or

concerning faith. In Anahata chakra, the freedom to escape from a preordained

fate and to determine one's own destiny becomes reality. " As such, it is said

that there is a wish fulfilling tree in this chakra.

 

It seems that awakening of a chakra follows the pattern of the Lightning Flash

on the Tree. In Anahata the negative tendencies of Gevurah usually surface

first, like fear and pessimistic attitudes towards life. One has to remember the

power of wish fulfilling at this level in order not to manifest negative wishes.

" It is important to have a firm and alert control over the mental tendencies and

fantasies of the mind. "

 

In order to move on, one needs to cultivate the qualities of Hesed. A positive

way of thinking is vital. Also enjoying the arts at their best can be helpful.

" Anahata chakra awakens refined emotion in the brain and its awakening is

characterized by a feeling of universal, unlimited love for all beings. "

 

 

Vishuddhi Chakra (Throat); Da'at

 

 

Besides Vishuddhi being described as the void in the tantra, there is also the

knowledge aspect as in Kabbalah. " The more abstract aspect of Vishuddhi is the

faculty of higher discrimination. Hence any communication received

telepathically can be tested here for its correctness and accuracy. Similarly,

Vishuddhi allows us to differentiate between realization coming into our

consciousness from the higher levels of knowledge, and the mere babblings of our

unconscious mind and wishful thinking. "

 

Vishuddhi is also known as the 'nectar and poison centre'. This would mean

'death and transformation' in more familiar terms. The nectar is transcendental

fluid, 'the Dew of Heaven'. " As long as Vishuddhi chakra remains inactive, this

fluid runs downward unimpeded, to be consumed in the fire of Manipura, resulting

in the processes of decay, degeneration and finally death in the body's tissues.

When Vishuddhi is awakened the divine fluid is retained and utilized, becoming

the nectar of immortality. The secret of youth and regeneration of the body lies

in the awakening of Vishuddhi chakra. "

 

Vishuddhi is also the key to psychological regeneration. " At the level of

Vishuddhi and above, even the poisonous and negative aspects of existence become

integrated into the total scheme of being. They are rendered powerless as

concepts of good and bad fall away. At this state of awareness the poisonous

aspects and experiences of life are absorbed and transformed into a state of

bliss. "

 

Interconnected with Vishuddhi chakra is Bindu Visarga. Very little is known

and written about it as it is beyond the realm of all conventional experience.

On the Jacob's Ladder it would relate to the Yesod of Beriah, which underlies

the Daat of Yezirah. " Bindu is a trap-door opening in both directions. " It is

said to be the origin of manifest individuality. " From this point or seed an

object, an animal, a human being or whatever, can arise and manifest. Each and

every object has a Bindu as its base. That which was previously formless assumes

shape through the Bindu, and its nature is fixed by the Bindu as well. "

 

 

 

 

Ajna Chakra (The Third Eye); Binah-Hokhmah

 

Ajna is the chakra of higher intellect. " Ajna is the witnessing centre where

one becomes the detached observer of all events, including those within the body

and mind. Here the level of awareness is developed whereby one begins to 'see'

the hidden essence underlying all visible appearances. When Ajna is awakened,

the meaning and significance of symbols flashes into one's conscious perception

and intuitive knowledge arises effortlessly. "

 

" Up until Ajna chakra awakens, we are under delusions. It is only after

awakening of Ajna chakra that the laws of cause and effect can be known.

Thereafter your whole philosophical attitude and approach to life changes. " As

said, it is very important to develop the qualities of Binah and Hokhmah already

at the very beginning of one's spiritual journey. " Only those who have reason

and understanding are able to cope. "

 

It would seem that the awakening of the Ajna chakra follows the sequence of

the Lightning Flash, activating first the Binah and then the Hokhmah aspect of

this level. It is said that from Ajna there is only a short way to Sahasrara or

enlightenment; from Hokhmah we would see how to get there.

 

 

 

 

Sahasrara Chakra (Crown); Keter

 

Sahasrara is actually not considered to be a chakra; it is the source of the

chakras. " It is the crown of expanded awareness. The power of the chakras does

not reside in the chakras themselves, but in Sahasrara. The chakras are only

switches. All the potential lies in Sahasrara. "

 

Patanjali classifies samadhi or enlightenment in three different stages. This

would correspond to the position of the Keter of Yezirah on Jacob's Ladder

overlapping the Tiferet of Beriah and the Malkhut of Azilut. " Sahasrara is both

formless and with form, yet it is also beyond, and therefore untouched by form. "

 

There are many descriptions about enlightenment, but ultimately it is not

possible to define such an experience. " Super-mental awareness is not a point;

it is a process, a range of experience. Just as the term 'childhood' refers to a

wide span of time, in the same way, samadhi is not a particular point of

experience but a sequence of experiences which graduate from one stage to

another. "

 

In the course of one's development, the chakras may be only partially or

temporarily awakened. They can also awaken independently from each other and do

not necessarily follow the traditional sequence. In Kabbalah, an individual

whose all chakras have fully and permanently awakened would be called the

Messiah.
