Chakras

Chakra means ‘wheel’ in Sanskrit. In this context, chakras are wheels of energy – continuously rotating.

They are sub-atomic energy centres located along the spinal column. Each centre carries a special energy level that causes the chakra to rotate at a speed of its own. The spine acts as a rod, conducting vertical energy flows into the head, down the spine, through the feet and into the earth. Each one is a point at which energy can be expressed in a certain set of actions, attitudes and emotions. The chakra is a map of the soul, which you must move along for healing to happen. An under active chakra is usually one in which energy is blocked or congested which results in lack of energy. People are believed to fall ill when their chakras lose alignment.

There are three master chakras – root, heart and crown, four major chakras – spleen, solar plexus, throat and brow and over 300 minor chakras.

Everything in life has a spiritual body and as such contains within it a chakra body. This body can open, expand and experience lessons and the external circumstances associated with it. As we work on a situation in our life, it generates energy, which in turn effects a specific chakra point. Everything in life has an energy pattern and it flows through the Chakra stem. In order for a particular energy to work, the chakra associated with it must be open and join in the process. As we move through life the lessons and energy we experience will stimulate a particular chakra, which in turn effects the physical body. For example, if a person feels the urge to speak their mind at a meeting, but are unable to express their feelings and holds back emotions, they may experience disturbances in the throat. Einstein theorised that all energy has a sound, a colour and intensity unique unto itself. He also gave us a clue for creating energy. He said ‘Thought is energy. To create it, just use your imagination.’ Use the energy that you create in positive ways. Use it to protect yourself from outside influences. Use it in creative endeavours. Use it for others.
