Seven Main Chakras
Our Chakras are our main energy centers. Our thoughts, feelings and emotions filter into our Chakras and flow out into our Aura and emanate out to the World and the Universe. Likewise, the outter world filters into our energy system and it is up to us if we receive only the good energies or the not-so-great energies out there. If our Aura and Chakra systems are healthy and vibrant we will more easily fend off the icky energy out there. When they are run down, holes and patches will start to form in our aura that will allow the ick to slinker its way in.
It's important to keep our systems healthy and vibrant. The best way is to be sure we are eating healthy, exercising regularly, bringing balance into our lives and meditating for peace and clarity. A great daily meditation to do is a Chakra clearing and balancing meditation. There are many CDs out there with this goal in mind. My CD will offer a quick way of doing this as well. See below for Chakra descriptions:
Descriptions of each Chakra and what they physically govern
Crown Chakra 7th Dark Purple Purple/Gold/White. Our connection to Cosmic Consciousness, Universe, Spirit. Your experience of being All That Is happens here. Also, directs the upper brain (cerebrum), cerebral cortex and the central nervous system. If out of balance any type of infection, headaches, upper sinuses, neuralgia and ear problems may occur. I am told that there is a loop that happens. As we connect above and keep on going through Universe you eventually come back to the center of the Mother Earth. And as we connect to Mother Earths core this is connected to the Universe and you come full circle around. When this chakra is fully open there are no terms that can describe the full deep connection you experience to the Divine.
Third Eye Charka (Brow) 6th Indigo w/Dark Purple ) Indigo. Your Psychic Abilities, Vision and Intuition, as well as thinking chakra. Also, directs the lower brain (cerebellum) and central nervous system. If out of balance eye problems, upper sinuses, headaches and head colds may occur.
Throat Chakra 5th Ocean Blue Sky blue. Your ability to communicate on the physical plain, as well as the spiritual plain. Directs throat, thyroid, parathyroid and hypothalamus. If out of balance sore throat, thyroid problems and lymph glands issues may occur. Water water water. The Throat is communication with Spirit and we are made of Water. Water is a symbolic visual of Spirit. When we are in connection with Spirit we are using our hydration system. Drink loads of water for easy communication and no dehydration.
Heart Chakra 4th Green Green. Associated with Unconditional Universal Love. Our ability to Love ourselves and others is located here. Directs heart, thymus and circulatory system. If out of balance respiratory infections, asthma, allergies and even heart issues may occur.
There is a new Heart chakra I am being guided to mention located in the Thymus area (just above the green Heart Chakra). Id call it the High Heart or Thymus Chakra. It is light pink in unconditional loving color. Our High Self communicates to us through our heart. Give it an occasional tap when needing to feel grounded, connected, and peaceful. Tapping in this location is very healing and will also connect you to the Divine. When in this area of the heart I have recently received the most beautiful and simple meditation from my Teacher of Fire Serpent Tantra. You see a ball of white, green or pink forming in your heart. As this expands be sure you are grounded (feet tingling). Then you can communicate with your heart, your truest self connected to the Divine (all of the Universe).
Solar Plexus Chakra 3rd Yellow - Yellow. Your core, the center of your being. Here is where our Power is located and the heart of your intuition. Associated with free will and Divine Will. Also associated with the Breath of life and the Mind. If we give our power away to someone or something else this chakra will be out of balance. Be aware of the sensations in this area, as they help you become aware of actions you should take; for example a falling sensation could mean caution. Directs sympathetic nervous system, digestion and metabolism. If out of balance ribcage, lungs, pancreas, spleen, stomach, liver and adrenal glands or kidney problems may occur.
Sacral Plexus Chakra (Navel) 2nd Orange Orange. Sensuality, Creativity, Joy, Passion, emotions, nature and desires. Our desires are located in this chakra. This chakra is used when manifesting our wants and desires of all types. Directs sexual organs and bladder. If out of balance the lower stomach, intestines, ovaries, uterus prostate or genital issues may occur.
Root or Base Chakra 1st Red Red. Our Kundalini and Grounding chakra. Sense of safety, survival and security (i.e. financial stability). Located at the tip of your tailbone. Directs adrenals, kidneys, spinal column and colon. If out of balance kidneys problems, lower back pains, hip and groin problems or eliminative imbalances may occur. This is the chakra where our Kundalini rests. The Serpents that are coiled 3 and ½ times around. The Kundalini rises from here through our entire chakra system as we ascend to enlightenment.
***Chakras are transformers of subtle energy. They take the universal life energy that is always around us and transform it into various frequencies our subtle energy system needs to keep us healthy. There are seven main charkas: Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown. The Root Chakra (lowest) brings in the lower frequencies that are needed for physical survival and the highest or crown chakra brings in the spiritual levels of energy. Each chakra corresponds with a layer of the aura. Negative feelings or thoughts can become lodged in the charkas reducing the amount of subtle energy they are able to provide and adversely affecting ones health. Treating the chakras proves to, also, be a very important part of giving a Reiki treatment.
