If
we dissect the human body we will not find the chakras. These are energy
wheels. The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel. If we
were able to see the chakras (as many psychics, in fact, do) we would observe a
wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Clairvoyants perceive
chakras as colourful wheels or flowers with a hub in the centre. The chakras
begin at the base of the spine and finish at the top of the head. Though fixed
in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and back of the
body, and work through it. Chakras’ energy centres interpenetrate the physical
body.
Each
chakra vibrates or rotates at a different speed. The root or first chakra
rotates at the slowest speed, the crown or seventh chakra at the highest speed.
Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary colour. The chakra colours
are of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The
size and brightness of the wheels vary with individual development, physical
condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.
If
the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life
force will be slowed down. The individual may feel listless, tired, out of
sorts, or depressed. Not only will physical bodily functions be affected so
diseases may manifest, but the thought processes and the mind may also be
affected. A negative attitude, fear, doubt, etc. may preoccupy the individual.
A
constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well-being.
If the chakras are opened too much, a person could literally short circuit themselves
with too much universal energy going through the body. If the chakras are
closed, this does not allow for the universal energy to flow through them
properly which may also lead to dis-ease.
Most
of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feeling and stopping a
great deal of our natural energy flow. This affects the maturation and
development of the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experience he is
having, he in turn blocks his chakras, which eventually become disfigured. When
the chakras are functioning normally, each will be open, spinning clockwise to
metabolize the particular energies needed from the universal energy field.
Chakras
are not visible through physical eyes or senses. That is why they were falling
under the category of mysticism. Due to nature of this science, it remains a
long held secret and Yogis knew this secret. But they were imparting this
secret knowledge with others very carefully, so that one could not misuse it.
Sometimes there were misconceptions about Chakras, so they remain out from the
reach of common people. But yoga found these energy wheels very useful for
human health and balanced life. Most of the Sickness can be related to any of
few of the Chakras’ imbalance. Balanced
Chakras result in balanced body, mind, senses, spirits, emotions and life.
As
per Kirlian photography, an energy body permeates from our body known as Aura.
There are whirlpools of energy surrounding the body. This energy flows like
spinning wheels; hence these are called as Chakras. Major Chakras regulate
major bodily functions.
Blocked
Chakras brings imbalance in thoughts and attitudes. This further brings
physical diseases, negative thoughts, and faulty beliefs. Activating and balancing the chakras takes us
up to the higher level.
Smooth
and free chakras result in loving relationships, creativity, personal power,
inner understanding, and internal harmony.
