What is a Chakra? Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory organs that interprets the outside physical world. At the same time, within us resides a subtle system of channels (nadis) and centers of energy (chakras) which look after our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being. Each of the seven chakras has several spiritual qualities. These qualities are intact within us, and even though they might not always be manifest, they can never be destroyed. How does our program work? Each chakra has an associated colour and vibrational range. The lowest of the each chakra harmonic frequency range has a corresponding brainwave activity. If we stimulate the brain to produce the correct activity it will in turn stimulate the chakra. Each time you listen to the specific chakra vibration - that chakra is stimulated.The program works through all 7 chakras in sequence from root to crown. By doing this it gently stimulates and activates each chakra in sequence, allowing the free flow of energy through each chakra. This is hugely beneficial for health (and can quickly reverse any energy blockage related conditions) and vitality.

If you could see chakras (as many of us whom work with them do) you would be able to see each primary chakra as a spinning vortex or wheel of energy; spinning inward from the front of your body towards the center point of that chakra on the kunilini and then spinning outward from that same point from your back.

What is a Chakra?Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory organs that interprets the outside physical world. At the same time, within us resides a subtle system of channels (nadis) and centers of energy (chakras) which look after our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being.

When we are born we can have a perfect balance or have an imbalance from the past lives we bring with our spirit. Although the human body is just a vessel and a machine it is seldom broke from manufacturer reasons and natural biological causes. Each chakra effects different parts of the body and almost all illness is caused by poor chakra health. Chakra Healing Illness is usually for us, or those around us, to learn higher lessons. You are given intuition and hints all the time about what you should be doing and how you should be living but we often ignore the words from Spirit and our higher selves. We are too often stuck in the reality and physicality of life to listen to our inner selves. Eventually, the chakras become out of balance and since you are stuck in the reality - the chakra manifests the energy imbalance into the physical; the health of your physical body.When you have chakra blocks you slow down the Chi, the life force, and the spiritual connection. You may feel depressed, out of touch, like you lost something, tired, unable to clearly think, or listless. You may get angry for no reason, be afraid, be unsure of yourself, lack self-confidence, be unhappy without a direct understood reason, and have a general negative outlook on life. All of these are indications that you have a problem to resolve that is chakra based.Balanced Chakras = Happiness & HealthUniversal Love, Energy, and Knowledge (ULEK™) flows through the chakras. It is important that you try to maintain the correct energy flow through each chakra since you could also negatively be effected by a

chakra being too open. Remember that balance in each, and balance in all in comparison to one another is what you seek. When the chakras are aligned on the kunilini and balanced the energy flows freely from the primal base to the spiritual chakra allowing us a grounded connection to a higher spiritualcommunication. Think of each chakra as a water valve and your goal is to have each on the same amount so the ULEK flows through the kunilini, uninhibited and constant. Cure Yourself through ChakrasChakra Healing Most major illnesses and ailments are chakra based. Think about how when you feel uncomfortable and almost scared how your stomach gets in an uproar. This is your emotions, your chakra emotions, manifesting into your physical form. When you are no longer scared your stomach eases and returns to normal. Your whole body can be effected depending on the emotions and concerns you carry with you. Childhood and past life issues that you may not be consciously aware of could be the cause of your illness now. I am not saying that every single thing wrong physically is a chakra issue because we are human physical beings that is effected by nature and flukes happen. But on a spiritual level we choose the body we are in this time, or Spirit choose this body for us, for a reason and for lessons to be learned. Chakra work is not easy or painless. We often think we have resolved an issue mentally when there may still be emotional garbage attached to the chakra. We also have a tendency to bury things and those emotions are transferred to a cellular level in our bodies, so clearing those issues may take a lot of work to resurface and resolve. Crystals and stones also aid in working with Chakras Additional chakra information - published articles by Reeda GarciaAny of us who have done major chakra work will tell you that "Gee, I got it all fixed." We then raise to a new physical vibrational level and cope with those feelings of being in two places at once before we settle into our new physical vibrational level. Then just as we think we have it all together we will find more chakra issues to deal with. Often we can not see all the issues because something will be in the way. Once you remove that thing you can see what is behind it, more issues! You will know when an issue is totally cleared when you experience the release on all for levels; physical (you will feel it physically), emotionally (usually crying or screaming), mentally (understanding it like never before), and spiritually (feeling it transmuted into pure unconditional love). But fair warning... even after you think it is gone it can come back or you may not have resolved all the associated emotions, reasons, or spiritual concerns connected with the issue. So perhaps you can never really know if it is totally cleared but you will understand when that part of it is embraced and released.As you progress to higher levels you will probably need assistance to bring the issues to the surface. We all need help and that is why people have talents for assisting others. Psychologists and psychiatrists help us with our mental and emotional problems which in turn assist the chakras. Our preachers, priests, rabbis and spiritual leaders assist us on the spiritual level. Our doctors help our physical being. So each in turn assist a minor part of the chakra healing and advancement work. But when you can incorporate all those things and healings into the focus of the problems - to each chakra, then you are making true advancements for your whole being.SEVEN CHAKRAS: Emotional, Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Levels1 Survival, tribal issues, instinct, past life issues, family, marriage, parenting, correct behavior, society, ability to provide basic needs for living.

Chakra HealingEach moment is new - each minute offers a new beginning.Every day is a great day. Happiness is how you think. The SN has undergone so many changes in the past 20 years, as I am sure you have also. Most people's chakra spots are dorment from lack of use:Opening them helps in many ways; it helps the energy you focus flow better, it also helps awaken your natural psychic abilities.

They appear in the astral body. They are 'assigned physical locations' in ones body for convenience only. Attention to any one Chakra will act upon the physical related parts of the body. Forget about 'how many Chakras and colors are there for use'. For starters, use only the basic seven Chakras. Use the colors, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.Know that there are also 'feet Chakra's and hands Chakra', that come into use.Use the imagination to 'see' the Chakras appearing as the blades of a fan.Use the imagination to 'see' either a clockwise or a counterclockwise rotation.Use the imagination to either 'open or close' the Chakras.Use the imagination to 'feel' the Chakras open / close, vary in color intensity, and direction of rotation.Use the imagination to 'feel' the energy involved.Use the imagination to 'feel' the glands associated with each Chakra.Use the imagination to inspect the Chakra's. Learn to trust what you see and feel.Use the imagination 'see and feel' if the Chakra is 'damaged, cracked, warped, or tilted in any way, in relation to the energy channel flow.Know that all psychological stress or trauma does affect specific Chakra's, which in turn will affect the other Chakra's.Know that 'events or feelings' can be either 'positive or negative'.Know that Chakra's can be blocked or have a literal 'image or picture' stuck in that Chakra.Know that physical or psychological problems can result from these blockages.Know that Chakra's can be 'cleaned and realigned'.Know that beyond the basic seven Chakra's, the 'feet Chakra's and the 'hands Chakra' will play an important part in your life.Know that regardless of all that is said, one may experience Chakra's, not as color, but as an impression of some type.Experiment in getting the 'feel and look', of 'how' you , not some one else, or even my descriptions, register with you. We are all unique

and special souls. We will experience differently then others. We will see and feel differently then others. That is neither good nor bad, it just means It's the way we experience things.Each person has what is called a 'life force' energy and this is run by their Chakras.The seven major Chakras have their own area of responsibility and each is linked with a different part of the endocrine system.They are part and parcel of each and every sensation, feeling and emotional experience that we have.Stress can imbalance our Chakras – you can see this in the form of physical illness; illness is often a sign that our Chakras are out of balance.While there are a lot of different ways to balance and heal your Chakras, sound has been shown time and time again to be the most effective method of all Technically there is a proper way to utilize Chakra routines. Spiritually, doing Chakra routines is another matter. In the beginning stages of Chakra routine usage, you may falter and stumble around.Eventually though, if one is paying attention, you will become aware of 'what works best for you'. When I'm having a beautiful day, I know some of my Chakras are wide open. When I'm in an off mood, I realize that some Chakra has either 'closed down' or was picking up some one Else's 'vibes'. Sadness, happiness, anger, or whatever, can be why I'm in a 'mood'. When all is functioning 'as should be' ones 'chakras' are like the shutters on a fine camera, but doing so 'mostly' in slow motion. This automatic action will adjust to what is being received. Beauty, harmony, love, hate, anger and so forth, will cause an automatic reaction to take place. Good is perhap's a wrong word to use, but for this post will use it. Good vibes, will be sending healing or corrective energies to associated physical glands within ones body. Bad or poor vibes, if sent to the same glands, will cause said glands to release certain hormones that trigger various and not so nice feelings, like tension, stress, anger, hate etc, that give rise to ill health and even arguments.By using 'intent' and imagination, and contrary to what many might say, one can 'close' to what ever degree desired, a specific or 'all' Chakras. When one is constantly experiencing the 'bad' days, day after day, is when a good full Chakra routine will set things right again. Grounding is part of establishing harmony. Won't go into detail at this point, as there are numerous sites and printed words that cover each Chakras function, and they are many. You wont go to far off base in the reading thos descriptions, as most will be correct, regards the 'what and how' of activity and function. How many Chakras and colors and routines, is another story, as no general agreement is to be found. Chakras can fully closed, partially closed, or be wide open. Each action will cause a different reaction within you, depending on 'You'. The question you raise 'will eating meats and cheeses/drinking alcohol etc unbalance them, falls into the category as above, 'each action will cause a different reaction within you, depending on 'You'. Truth be said, a whole book could be written covering just those items.As for 'sorry for all the questions', there is only one answer, and it is to 'question everything, and to ask questions if you don't understand a 'thing'. Do of course, keep in mind that as I've stated, 'this is from my perspective'. You may experience major or subtle variances. Neither is good or bad, only your spiritual and physical reactions to the 'who and what' you are in this moment of 'Now'.And as I often mention, much more could be written here, but for this moment in time...l I'm not sure if there is a deffinate answer to this question but approx. how long does it take to re-align or open each chakra? To be more specific, how long would a chakra track need to be for it to have any benefit or affect? 5-6 mins per chakra? Is there anyway to go about answering this?When beginning to open the chakras, I recommend starting from the bottom and work your way up to the top. Basically you would start from the root chakra, once that chakra is opened you then procceed to the Sacral Chakra, Naval Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and then lastly the Crown Chakra.Each Chakra is responsible for a different emotional,physical, and mental state and they are all interconnected with one another. They all rely on each other in order to maintain proper balance. 1.) The foundation of all the Chakras is the Root. Once the Root Chakra is open, you will immediately experience a feeling of welcoming and security. 2) Now you are able to move on and open the Sacral Chakra so that you may be able to properly express feelings and sexuality.3.) Next, you will be able to move on to opening your Naval Chakra and properly be able to assess your wants and decisions upon them.4.)Then, you will move on to opening the Heart Chakra, so that you may be able to form affectionate relationships.5.) We now move on to opening the Throat Chakra which is responsible for your ability to express yourself.6.) The next Chakra we open is the Third Eye, we is the source of our insight.7.) Finally, we are ready to open our Crown Chakra. By opening this last Chakra we devleop our wisdom and awareness of our self and our surroundings.There are many methods we can use to open our chakras, my favorite method is through the use of Binaural Beats. It has an immediate affect and saves many people from years of intense meditation training to reach the same affects. Learn more at How To Open Each Chakra Chakras govern instinct and intellectAs I mentioned in Part-1, the Chakras are energy centers which control the flow of energy in and out of the body. The Chakras located in the lower region of the body are mostly connected with instincts or basic human desires and those towards the top govern the higher mental faculties better known as ‘intellect’. It is essential to have all the seven Chakras open at all times in order to maintain a healthy physical and

mental being. A blockage in any Chakra may result in (unexplained) weaknesses, deficiencies or chronic ailments in that part of the body in which the blocked Chakra exists. Hence, it’s extremely important to ensure that all Chakras remain open and if they appear to be blocked, the blockage should be removed without any delays.Anjali Chugh Introduce yourself to a whole new world...the Unseen world. Chakras…their significance, the Indian way. (Part-1)The word ‘Chakra’ has its origin in Sanskrit language and means ‘wheel’. Although a human body is said to have over 80,000 chakras (minor and major), only seven are considered to be primary Chakras or...Role of each ChakraIt's generally considered best to open the Chakras starting from the lower to upper region of the body. This means that the Root chakra should be the first step to start with and should be followed by the Sacral chakra, then Navel, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and finally Crown chakra.1. The Root chakra is the foundation. When the Root chakra is open, you're able to feel mentally secure and stable. Having opened this chakra, you'll feel like having deep roots (firmly grounded) and no one can destabilize you. After all, most of the times, the insecurity is all in the mind and that needs to be cured. 2. Only when you feel secure, welcome and acceptable in your group or community, you are able to express feelings and sexuality appropriately, which happens to be the domain of Sacral Chakra. How comfortable you are with your sexuality and how expressive you are with your partner falls within the purview of Sacral Chakra.3. Having opened the Sacral Chaka, you can proceed to the Navel chakra, to assert your desires and have them fulfilled. This assertion is something that's prevalent in social groups and communities and is by far the most important factor in gaining social acceptance. 4. Being able to deal with social situations, you can enjoy warm, healthy and long lasting relationships, which is the domain of the Heart Chakra. This controls the aggression of Navel chakra and makes a person kind, loving, selfless and generous.5. When relationships are formed, you should be able to express yourself properly and that is what Throat Chakra helps you with. We all know how important it is to be able to communicate flawlessly and appropriately while dealing with other people. Throat Chakra gives you that potent power of speech.6. That takes us to next level, the Third Eye Chakra. This is better termed as the seat of thought, reasoning, insight and intellect. By opening Third Eye chakra, you enjoy all the rewards offered by this Chakra.7. When all these Chakras are open, you're ready for the Crown Chakra, to develop wisdom, self-awareness and awareness of your existence as a part of the Higher Self. This ultimately leads to spiritual bliss.Activate Third EyeAlthough there are prescribed tests to find out which of the Chakras need to be opened, yet the simplest way to assess the blockage is to review the benefits associated with each Chakra. If you feel you are experiencing a problem in any of these areas, it’s time to work on the Chakra related to that particular area. The thumb rule is…’Start from the Root Chakra and then work your way up.'The symptoms of awakened chakras are very clear:The Frontal Chakra, located between the eyebrows, engenders Clairvoyance.The Laryngeal Chakra, Clairaudience.The Heart Chakra grants Inspiration and Intuition.The Solar Plexus Chakra, Telepathy.The Pulmonary Chakra allows us to remember past lives.The Prostatic/Uterine Chakra grants the power to consciously depart in the Astral Body. Every student must possess such a power, if not, it is mandatory for such a student to awaken this Chakra.The chakras are the energy centers that fuel these powers. If your chakras are awakening, then you begin to experience these powers. Chakra AlignmentWhat Are Chakras?Chakras are our energy centers. They are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development of our self-consciousness. They are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions. There are seven major chakras. The aura is often referred to as the eighth chakra. The first chakra (root) actually hangs outside of your body. It is located between your thighs, about halfway between your knees and your physical body. The seven chakra (crown) is located on the top of your head. The remaining chakras, (sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, and third eye), are aligned in sequence along your spine, neck, and skull. Individually, your chakras look similar to funnels with petal-like openings. Chakras are invisible to the human eye, but they can be perceived intuitively by trained energyworkers.

Having your chakras evaluated by a trained practitioner is a good way to get a better understanding of how your body functions on an energetic level. An energyworker trained in reading chakras will be able to tell you which chakras are functioning poorly and which chakras are working overtime. When one or two chakras are performing at a reduced level, the remaining chakras have to pick up the slack. Having a non-functioning chakra can effectively "blow out" an otherwise healthy chakra.

What is a Medical Intuitive? Psychics VS IntuitivesWhy some healers refer to themselves as intuitive rather than psychic.Chakras The spine and the human energy field contain chakras, or energy centers, that vibrate at different frequencies. Each chakra presents us with the opportunity to establish a root relationship and to satisfy a deep soul desire. Each frequency holds the gift of a certain power, which enhances our human experience on Planet Earth. As we tune into this power, we are internally empowered to deal with the specific life challenges of that energy center or chakra and as a consequence to live more whole, meaningful and fulfilling lives. The Swadisthana, or Sex Chakra, is located at the sacrum - the pelvic area between pubis and navel.

The best way to use crystals is in conjunction with your own energy ‘points’. These are known as chakras. The word Chakra is Sanskrit for ‘wheel’ because each of the seven main chakras is an energy point that spins to carry and transfer energy. If the flow of energies is blocked because of negative emotional issues such as stress, anxiety or anger they can cause physical illness.Each chakra has a colour associated with it. To clean, open and activate these energy points you can wear a chakra necklace or bracelet which includes crystals in each of the seven chakra colors. Alternatively, you can perform a ‘chakra layout’.How to perform the energizing Chakra Layout You will need 7 crystals that correspond to the chakra colors. You can buy complete ‘chakra sets’ or choose individual crystals. There is a list below to help you choose. You may feel more drawn to one than another and if so, go with that one.You will be laying down on the floor for this exercise. First, make sure that you will not be disturbed so take the phone off the hook! Gather your seven crystals and lay them on the floor in sequence next to where you will lie.

The chakra system was first developed in India in the middle ages. The word "chakra" is a sanskrit word meaning wheel.The major chakras are located along the spinal column of the body - starting at your perineum and going up to the top of your head at your crown. Each chakra is traditionally represented by a different color of the rainbow - starting with red at the bottom up to violet on the crown. Each chakra location represents different emotions and feelings.Ideally all the chakras should be balanced- open and spinning at a similar rate to each other. Most of us however have some chakras which are overactive and others that are closed down or underactive. Read on to learn more about each chakra!First Chakra - Root Chakra - RedSecond Chakra - Sacral Chakra - OrangeThird Chakra - Solar Plexus Chakra - YellowFourth Chakra - Heart Chakra - GreenFifth Chakra - Throat Chakra - BlueSixth Chakra - Brow Chakra - IndigoSeventh Chakra - Crown Chakra – Violet

First Chakra - Root Chakra - Red The root chakra is the chakra located at your perineum, at the bottom of your spine. The root chakra is represented by the first color of the rainbow - red.If your root chakra is healthy, it governs your basic instincts for survival. It controls your ability to maintain a home, to earn money to pay the bills, to have enough for your physical needs. If this chakra is unhealthy, it can cause you to be greedy, feel needy, or unappreciative of what you do have. It can cause you to neglect the steps necessary to maintain your environment.To help strengthen your root chakra, focus on the color red, which is found in ruby and garnet gemstones. Visualise a red flower opening.If the problem is that you have too open at the root chakra, and are suffering issues of greed or domination in relationships, then it is time to balance the root chakra. See the red flower gently closing.Second Chakra - Sacral Chakra - Orange The second chakra is the sacral chakra, represented by the color orange. The word sacral relates both to the back of your pelvis, as well as meaning "sacred". Looking at the front of a person, the sacral chakra would be located at around the bellybutton.The sacral chakra governs the creative and emotion related energies. If your sacral chakra is in balance, then you find yourself on an even keel when you relate to people. You find yourself able to pursue your creative hobbies, to write, paint, sing or dance.If your sacral chakra is out of balance, this could cause you to have roller

Page 9: What is a Chakra

coasters of emotions - perhaps being too obsessive about someone, or perhaps falling into deep despair over issues that really are not that bad. It could cause you to have problems feeling creative - writing that paper, thinking up new ideas to solve issues in your life.If you need to boost your sacral chakra, try carnelian or tiger's eye. Visualise an orange flower at the sacral opening its petals. This will help you find ways to express your emotions more fully, and tap into your inner creativity.If the problem is that your sacral chakra is too open - that your emotions are swinging wildly out of control, that you are so hyper that you do not have time to focus on any of your ideas imagine the orange flower gently closing its petals.Third Chakra - Solar Plexus Chakra - Yellow The third chakra is that of the solar plexus. This is located below your ribs near your stomach. Interestingly, with the word "solar" in this chakra's name, its color is yellow.In essence your solar plexus is a group of nerves that has a very 'radiating' appearance to it, which is why it got its name. This chakra is in control of your energies and activities. It controls the things you choose to do and why you choose to do them.If your solar plexus chakra is healthy, you will make wise decisions in your life, choose to work on projects that are worth your time and feel content with the results you achieve.If you are having problems with your solar plexus chakra, you could make bad judgement calls or head down paths which are clearly bad for you. You could also become a workaholic, pouring far too much time and attention into a given part of your lifeIf the problem is that you are not finding the right paths or applying yourself properly to a chosen path, it's time to find some honey calcite, topaz or amber. The solar plexus is like a powerhouse, if you focus on the area you should feel its warmth radiating out. Imagine a beautiful yellow flower opening its petals wide here.If the issue is that this chakra is over energised compared to the others and you are over working or trying to go ahead too fast then gently close the yellow petalled flower. Take time to be patient and seek the correct balance.Fourth Chakra - Heart Chakra - Green The heart chakra is the fourth chakra, and is represented by the color green. In some people who have developed the ability to be unconditionally loving, the heart chakra becomes a rosy pink. This is the chakra of love, romance, relationships and communication.If your heart chakra is healthy, you will both be able to empathize with others as well as accept love and friendship into your own life. You will have good friends who you get along with, and will be able to form loving relationships. You will also be compassionate towards yourself.If your heart chakra is unhealthy, you will have trouble maintaining friendships and finding love. It might be that you feel lonely or are hard on yourself. It might also be that you are obsessive and domineering, or closed off, 'cold hearted'.To help open your heart chakra, try working with green stones such as jade or aventurine. To be kinder and more loving towards yourself try rose quartz or mangano calcite. See a beautiful pink flower opening at your heart. Rose and geranium essential oil can help here. This will help draw friendship and romance into your world.If the problem is that you are jealous or possessive it's time to cool things down. Interestingly, because this is the central chakra, you also use green to bring it down as well - your aim here is to focus more on the love, and less on the control. You need to learn to trust. You may sometimes feel too sensitive. At these times visualise the pink flower gently closing for a while, but don't leave it closed, it is important we all learn to work from the heart.Fifth Chakra - Throat Chakra - Blue The fifth chakra, of the throat, is the primary focus of communication and action. Represented by blue, this chakra helps ensure you are heard and that you can speak your truth.If you have a healthy fifth chakra, you are able to communicate easily with friends and family - with those you work and interact with. You're even able to give talks in front of an audience.If you're having trouble with your fifth chakra, you might be shy or intimidated by these situations and feel unable to say what you really mean. You might also be too talkative - boisterous or overbearing in situations where you should listen more.If you want to strengthen your throat chakra, try blue lace agate or turquoise. Visualise a sky blue flower at your throat unfolding its petals. This will help you express yourself better and be more self assured.If the problem is that you are too talkative or overbearing, it's time to tone things down. Balance is important between the chakras and this would suggest your throat chakra is overactive compared to the others. Imagine a blue flower softly closing its petals.Sixth Chakra - Brow Chakra - Purple The sixth chakra is the brow chakra, also called the chakra of the third eye. The color assigned to this chakra is indigo, or purple. This is the chakra of intuition, of thought and of spirituality.If you have a healthy sixth chakra, you are at peace with yourself, and are able to study and investigate issues of spirituality. You will also be able to develop your psychic awareness.If, on the other hand, your sixth chakra is unhealthy or closed, it could cause you to jump from idea to idea with little focus. It could also cause you to cling to a single idea without any ability to even consider or discuss any other idea- hence 'close minded'.If your aim is to open and clear your sixth chakra, try working with amethyst or lapis lazuli. Focus on the spot just above and between your two physical eyes. You may get a glimpse of your third eye, usually very beautiful, looking right back at you. Even if you don't see it you may become aware of it. You may imagine a deep blue flower gently opening its petals wide.If the issue is that you that you are overwhelmed with psychic information and it is interfering in your everyday life you may ask the chakra to gently close. Either visualise the third eyelid closing or petals of a blue flower folding softly inwards.

Seventh Chakra - Crown Chakra - Violet The seventh and final chakra is the crown chakra, represented by the color violet. It is sometimes also represented by white.This chakra controls wisdom and true understanding. When the seventh chakra is healthy, it allows you to plan your life and handle the daily trials and tribulations that life throws at you. You will feel your link with the Divine and with the rest of creation.When your seventh chakra is unhealthy, it leads to unwise decisions, unhappiness, and a sense of indecision. You will feel alone and seperate.If your aim is to open your seventh chakra, then you should start with amethyst or quartz. Meditation is a key to developing the crown chakra. Visualise a beautiful flower at your crown with hundreds of petals gently opening. This will help you find wisdom and a sense of universal connection.If the problem is that your seventh chakra is too open, and you are finding it hard to cope with the hustle and bustle of everday living then imagine the same flower gently closing the petals over to protect the chakra.*********************************************************Essential Oils for Chakras Using essential oils for the chakras is a way to help balance body, mind, and spirit.Crown Chakra: neroli, rose, frankincenseBrow Chakra: rosemary, juniper, hyacinth, lemon, pine, angelica seedThroat Chakra: chamomile, linden blossom, cypress, petitgrain, basil, peppermint, hyssop, rosewood, rosemaryHeart Chakra: rose maroc, bergamot, melissa, ylang ylang, mandarin, tangerine, geranium, jasmine, lavenderSolar Plexus Chakra: juniper, cedarwood, coriander, black pepper, lime, hyssop, marjoram, cardamomSacral Chakra: sandalwood, clary sage, fennel, cardamom, elemi, benzoinBase Chakra: myrrh, patchouli, vetiver, rosewood, thyme, balsam de peruChoose essential oils appropriate to the mind, body, spirit, and character of the person.Source: The Fragrant Heavens by Valerie Ann Worwood. If you are at all interested in the spiritual aspects of aromatherapy, I highly recommend this book.Labels: aromatherapy for chakras, aromatherapy for spirit, chakra essential oils, chakras essential oils, essential oils chakras, essential oils for chakras, spiritual aromatherapyEssential Oils and Chakras The connection between body and Kundalini. Literal meaning of Chakras in Sanskrit is wheels or vortexes. The ancient and deep science of spiritual and physical studies in India have defined chakras as transfer points for our thoughts and feelings and the physical functioning of specific endocrine glands. Any obstruction in the free flow of energy at the point (or chakra) can create corresponding physical problems and vice versa. Chakras connect from the front of the body all the way to the back of the spine. When they are open you can feel the free flow of energy. Even though you may not be able to see chakras, you might be able to feel them with your hands. When there is balance between the chakras, you have maximum vitality, health, and body ecstatic. This energy flowing is what makes it possible for our physical bodies to exist and function properly. Chakras respond to our emotions, state of mind, creativity and general well being. Blocked chakras reflect the malfunctioning in a particular area of our life. Since aromatherapy provides for our overall well-being, and particular aroma oils have particular effects on us, hence the specific effects can also be used to balance the chakras corresponding to the same properties. Seven Chakras The First chakra is known as the Base root Chakra or Muldhara chakra. The literal meaning conveyed is "The foundation." It is placed between the genitals and anus in a human being. In a woman, it signifies her procreativity. When this chakra is blocked, women may experience constipation, hemorrhoids, low back pain, fear, and instability with money, powerlessness, and the need to control life. When women free themselves and open this energy, they are at harmony with the life, and are able to let go of struggle. The corresponding color for the Chakra is Red. The Therapeutic essential oils to activate the chakra are Vetiver, Angelica, cypress, jatamansi and ginger. The Second chakra is known as the sexual chakra or Swadhishana. Literally, It means the place of "self". It resonates in the pubic region. This chakra represents our creative energy and sexual force. It is associated with the functions of our reproductive organs. When blocked, we may experience lack of purpose, impotence, frigidity, confusion, restlessness, fantasies, jealousy and guilt. When it is open, we can experience our creativity, approaching every challenge that shows up in a creative manner. We open to, and understand our sexuality. Corresponding to color Orange of Chakra, the essential oils are Cedarwood, clary sage, cypress, lemon, trifola, rosewood, ylang-ylang and patchouli. The Third chakra also known as Solar plexus, is located between Navel and rib cage. In Sanskrit it is known as Manipura, literally meaning "The city of Gems". It controls the functioning of the adrenals and pancreas, which regulates blood sugar. When blocked, we experience digestive problems and lust for power. We become pushy, over bearing and egocentric. When it is open, we are at peace with the happenings in our life. We embrace self-discipline. We let go of beliefs that don`t serve us any longer. We are in full trust of the universe. Corresponding to the color yellow, this chakra is activated by essential oils Dhavana, Gold Chamomile, Sandalwood, Anise, Fennel, Champa and Lavender. The Fourth chakra of Heart is also known as Anahata or "Unrestricted."

Page 11: What is a Chakra

It resonates just over our heart, in the chest. The fourth chakra is associated with the heart and thymus. It reflects our connectedness and is also the center of joining between the higher and lower chakras. When this center is closed or restricted, we experience heart problems, loneliness, isolation, hatred and live in condemnation of others, feeling separated and disconnected. When open, we experience unconditional love. We know that love is fact and the basis of our being. Our challenges are lessons and we experience connectedness to all things. The Chakra corresponds to the color Green and essential oils of Rose, Cinnamon, Champa, Orange, Neroli, Bergamot and yarrow. The Fifth chakra is the throat chakra, known as Vishudha chakra in Sanskrit, meaning "Pure". It is located in the throat and the neck area. When obstructed or blocked, we experience verbal, hearing and communication problems, sore throats, and difficulty in expressing our feelings (telling the truth). When we open this area, we become a channel for truth and expressions. The corresponding color for this chakra is Blue, and essential oils boosters are Blue Chamomile, Tea tree, Cajeput, sandalwood and bergamot. The Sixth Chakra is also known as the Third eye Chakra or Ajna meaning "Unlimited Power". This chakra is located above and between Eyebrows. The sixth chakra affects our receptivity and is associated with the pituitary gland. When blocked we experience vision problems, headaches, feelings of separation, fogginess, and dizziness. When open we see our connection to all things. We know the future, the past, and we live in the now. Our clairvoyance is stimulated along with our ability to see and understand all things. The corresponding color for the chakra is Indigo, and essential oils are Basil, Lavender, Rosemary, camphor, jasmine and eucalyptus. The Seventh Chakra is also known as Crown chakra or Sahasrara meaning "Thousand petaled". It is located at the crown of the head and is associated with the pineal gland. It is a source of divine energy and self-realization. When it is blocked, we dwell in the ego. Our prayers lose any connectedness to God. When open, the ego falls away and we experience a burst of spiritual enlightenment. The corresponding color for the chakra is Violet, and essential oils are Myrrh, Henna, violet absolute and Frankincense. How to apply chakra oil: · Mix a total of 30% of the prescribed essential oils with 70% vegetable oil. Cold pressed vegetable oil (sweet almond, grape seed, jojoba, etc.) is preferred. · Place 10 drops of this mixture on the corresponding chakra location and rub into the skin in a counter-clockwise direction while visualizing the corresponding color. OR · Place a total of 6-12 drops of the prescribed essential oils into one cup of warm water. · Soak a small cloth with the solution, squeeze out the excess and place as a warm compress over thechakra. · Cover with a towel and rest until cool. Essential oils can stimulate and assist in the process of awakening, healing, opening the chakras, and strengthening the aura. It is really a boon to us to be able to use such tools to meet our "Higher Self".

Auras - Colors of the Aura http://www.paralumun.com/auraetheric.htmWhat is the Aura ?Everything in the Universe seems to be just a vibration. Every atom, every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary “particle”, even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations. Hence, we may define the Aura as a electro-photonic vibration response of an object to some external excitation (such as an ambient light for example). This definition is sufficient for the purpose of reading Auras, providing that we can train ourselves to see the Aura vibration.THE ETHERIC AURA The etheric aura extends about two inches out from the physical body and is usually a shade of blue in color. The shade of the blue relates to the physical condition and health of the physical body. Athletes have strong etheric aura's of a deeper blue in shade. In the etheric aura you feel all the sensations, both pain and pleasure. EMOTIONAL AURAThe emotional aura extends about two to four inches from the physical body and appears as rainbow colored clouds. This aura is associated with feelings. Positive feelings generally create bright colors, where as negative feelings generally create dark colors. Problems in this aura will eventually lead to problems in the first and third aura'sMENTAL AURAThe mental aura extends about four to eight inches from the physical body and is usually a bright shade of yellow in color. Within this aura are our thoughts and mental processes. The more active our thinking processes the brighter our mental aura becomes.

Introduction to the chakrasWhat chakras are and their psychological propertiesChakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side.The chakras can have various levels of activity. When they're "open," they're considered operative in a normal fashion.Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. Our instincts would work together with our feelings and thinking. However, this is usually not the case. Some chakras are not open enough (being under-active), and to compensate, other chakras are over-active. The ideal state is where the chakras are balanced. To find out what the state of your chakras is, do the chakra test.There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. Mostly techniques to open chakras are used. It makes no sense to try to make over-active chakras less active, as they are compensating for other chakras. To restore the compensation they'd be over-active again in no time. To stop them from compensating, the chakras they are compensating for must be opened. See the techniques to open chakras. 1 - Root chakraThe Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open, you feel grounded, stable and secure. You don't unnecessarily distrust people. You feel present in the here and now and connected to your physical body. You feel you have sufficient territory.If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You'd easily feel unwelcome.If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. You're probably obsessed with being secure and resist change. 2 - Sacral chakraThe Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open, your feelings flow freely, and are expressed without you being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively. You have no problems dealing with your sexuality.If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. You're not very open to people.If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. You'll feel emotionally attached to people and you can be very sexual. 3 - Navel chakraThe Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. When it is open, you feel in control and you have sufficient self esteem.When the Navel chakra is under-active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. You're probably timid and don't get what you want.If this chakra is over-active, you are domineering and probably even aggressive. 4 - Heart chakraThe Heart chakra is about love, kindness and affection. When it is open, you are compassionate and friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships.When your Heart chakra is

Page 23: What is a Chakra

under-active, you are cold and distant.If this chakra is over-active, you are suffocating people with your love and your love probably has quite selfish reasons. 5 - Throat chakraThe Throat chakra is about self-expression and talking. When it is open, you have no problems expressing yourself, and you might be doing so as an artist.When this chakra is under-active, you tend not to speak much, and you probably are introverted and shy. Not speaking the truth may block this chakra.If this chakra is over-active, you tend to speak too much, usually to domineer and keep people at a distance. You're a bad listener if this is the case. 6 - Third Eye chakraThe Third Eye chakra is about insight and visualization. When it is open, you have a good intuition. You may tend to fantasize.If it is under-active, you're not very good at thinking for yourself, and you may tend to rely on authorities. You may be rigid in your thinking, relying on beliefs too much. You might even get confused easily.If this chakra is over-active, you may live in a world of fantasy too much. In excessive cases halucinations are possible. 7 - Crown chakraThe Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open, you are unprejudiced and quite aware of the world and yourself.If it is under-active, you're not very aware of spirituality. You're probably quite rigid in your thinking.If this chakra is over-active, you are probably intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your bodily needs.What's a Chakra?Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed.These chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system. The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us.The chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus. Thus, each chakra can be associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland associated with that chakra.Results from Chakra testRoot Sacral Navel Heart Throat Third Eye CrownRoot: under-active (0%)Sacral: open (44%)Navel: open (25%)Heart: open (63%)Throat: open (63%)Third Eye:open (56%)Crown: open (25%)Percentages go from -100% to +100%

Chakras and the Healing Properties of GemstonesFinding Chakras ~ Single Chakra Therapy ~ All Chakra Therapy This information is not meant to replace any medical treatment. It is offered here as a service. Use this information at your own risk. No guarantee is made towards validity. This is my personal belief on how high quality gemstones work for me. Lorraine V.There are two main ways gemstones are used on chakras -- placement on a single chakra at a time or placement on all chakras at once. One can experiment to see what works best for them.Chakras are the 7 main energy centers of the body according to Eastern medicine. They are in the center of the body, starting at the base of the spine and running up to the top of the head. *Root/Base Chakra *Sex/Navel Chakra *Stomach/Solar Plexus Chakra *Heart Chakra *Throat Chakra *Brow/Third Eye Chakra *Crown Chakra To find a chakra: Use a gemstone and circle front of body in a large circle over where a chakra should be many gemstones will work -- but I find Black Onyx easiest one can do this without a gemstone after practice but using a gemstone makes it much easier Slowly decrease the size of circle following the energy. With Black Onyx, you can feel where the Chakra is by where you place it on your body. One's body will tingle where chakras are. Other gemstones can be more subtle. The gemstone simply feels like it is being lead to the Chakra. Single Chakras Often one simply wants to work on a single chakra. Simply

Page 24: What is a Chakra

place a gemstone or strand of gemstones on a Chakra and keep them there from 3-25 minutes. I prefer using clear optical quality quartz on chakras. However, here are the stones that others recommend on each chakra. Root/Base Chakra: Black Onyx/Obsidian Sex/Navel Chakra: Carnelian Stomach/Solar Plexus Chakra: Citrine Heart Chakra: Rose Quartz/Ruby Throat Chakra: Indigo (translucent Sodalight)/Purple Rainbow Fluorite Brow/Third Eye Chakra: Amethyst/Aquamarine/Lapis Lazuli/Clear Quartz Crown Chakra: Amethyst/Clear Quartz One can always substitute clear quartz sphere or strand of frosted quartz for any chakra. Other people have different charts. Experiment. Find what works best for you! If a stone ever feels very uncomfortable, I recommend removing it. Another way to do single chakra therapy is to take a single stone and sequentially work your way up the chakras. Ie. put malachite on your root chakra for 3-5 minutes; then on your sex chakra for 3-5 minutes, etc. This teaches you multiple things: How a stone feels on each chakra Which chakra it works best on (or does it feel good on all) If the stone works well on more than one chakra My favorite gemstone to do this with is emerald (a 2" ring of beads works GREAT). My clients have found this very healing. All Chakras The easiest therapy is to take 7 clear quartz spheres or 7 strands of frosted quartz and place them on all your chakras - starting at the base chakra and working your way up. Let them stay on your chakras for 5-25 minutes. Remove the strands in the opposite order -- starting from the crown chakra. You may wish to wear a strand of frosted quartz when done to help maintain your balance. I have tried this therapy w/ spheres and strands of several types of gemstones. When using other gemstones, I recommend using with spheres. I tried this once with strands of black opal and it was very overwhelming. Green Aventurine felt healing but didn't help nearly as much as putting it directly on an organ that needed it. Amethyst was very uplifting -- but it seemed to be much better on the higher chakras singly or directly on an organ such as stomach or liver Rose quartz felt good -- but my body wanted more rose quartz on heart chakra than on other chakras Rhodocrusite was too strong for me. Try it for a very very short time (15 seconds) on a single chakra. Always follow it by something soothing/healing. New Age Harmonics: Astral travel , Remote View, Lucid Dream, Clairvoyance, and a whole lot more. Chakras are energy centres, vortices that draw spiritual energy into ourselves. There are seven main chakras - the harmonious use of each chakra is essential to our well being, and our wholeness.Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’ ‘circle’ or ‘lotus.’Each of the seven main chakras is located near major endocrine organs in the physical body, that is, they are connected to the functioning of the endocrine (hormonal) system in the body. They form etheric organs in the aura, being responsible for processing the spiritual energy into usable energy for the physical body. ( “stepping down” the energy from very high fine vibrations to lower, thus slower, vibrations that can be used by the physical body.)We will look at each chakra in turn. You will discover which ones in you need the most work or cleansing, how they work, and what you need in order to become more in a state of balance. They are fundamental to healing, so you will have a better understanding of the illnesses or states of imbalance that manifest in your life. Imbalances need to be corrected at the deepest, essential level by yourself; (self-healing is the most empowering and the most deeply transformative). It can help to consult others for healing or chakra balancing for example, but if you do not change the underlying pattern that caused the dysfunction in the first place then the chakra will go out of balance again.

There are many gateways in the crown chakra which, when open, connect you to other dimensions and the cosmos.Symbols are the language of the soul. Colour and symbols were the way of communicating before language was created. A symbol always has many layers of meaning contained within it that reach far beyond the literal, logical, rational interpretation. They also have an energetic value and act in your physical and subtle bodies to a corresponding vibration. Symbols bypass the logical-rational part of your brain and connect to the instinctive, intuitive, feeling part of the brain. Symbols lead you to a deeper and greater understanding of the mysteries of the universe, enriching your life with another dimension of discovery. Symbols are a paradox the logical mind cannot understand: you need to use your soul to access the wisdom they contain. Symbols will be more important in the future. They will be used as a healing tool, and as a way of learning. The way this works is that the

Page 25: What is a Chakra

energy of the symbol imprints upon the aura and the soul and the wisdom of the symbol will become part of our conscious mind. The effect of symbols (like Crop Circles) upon the mind depends upon the ‘softness’ of your etheric body – the softer it is the more we are able to receive the imprint and knowledge. The etheric body also needs to be strong. Soft and strong.Symbols are the language of the soul. Learn about how dreams, colours, numbers and many other symbols profoundly affect our lives.
