The
chakras are spinning vortices of
energy that energize and actually build the physical body. The aura is a set of subtle
bodies that completely surround and pass through the physical body of every
living thing.
These
two subtle energy systems form the basis for an unseen anatomy and physiology
that will take on greater importance in the years to come. This article is designed to introduce
you to these subtle energy systems.
Their importance has everything to do with what I call development. This is the fullest unfolding of the
human potential, in terms of health, long life, wisdom and a deeper appreciation
of who one is and what life is about.
THE CHAKRAS
The
chakras are spinning vortices of energy that create the physical body. They are located at the midline of the
body, along the spine, as described below. The chakra system is divided into
the physical chakras, of which there
are seven major ones and many minor ones in places like the elbows, the knees
and around the head.
All
are double funnels joined at the narrow ends except the first and seventh. While they move separately, as a unit
they all move back and forth in a rhythmic motion and they wobble together up
and down. As they move back and
forth, together they all pulse bright to dim.
Every
person also has etheric and other more
advanced chakras, which are generally found away from the physical
body. This article, however,
concerns itself mostly with the seven physical chakras as these are most
important for most people.
Chakras closed in most people. When the chakras are smaller than about 2 inches long from
the closed end to the open end of the funnel-shaped vortex of energy, chakras
are called closed. This is the normal condition of all
children and most adults, sadly.
Ideally,
the chakras should begin to open during the teenage years. This means they begin to grow larger,
mainly, and glow brighter. Some
people are born with one or more chakras open. This is somewhat unusual and a mark of a more
spiritually-oriented person. In
most people, one must work to open the chakras.
Factors that promote the opening of the
chakras. Many methods have been used throughout
history to help people open the chakras and move more etheric energy through
the body, from yoga postures and special diets to chanting, praying and others.
All
of the older religions deal with this issue to some degree because for a person
to mature in wisdom and character, one must open the chakras at least to some
extent. Today, however, the
leaders and very few churchgoing people understand the energetic reasons for
various practices and rituals that have been used for centuries, in most
cases. As a result, many religions
are declining in popularity. Some
of this, however, is also due to the fact that the older methods of opening the
chakras do not work nearly as well today, mainly because today the main
impediment to opening the chakras in most people is the high level of toxicity
and nutritional depletion of the bodies.
Chakras easy to open today.
Due to changes on planet earth, opening the chakras has never been
easier. Instead of long hours of
praying or chanting in monasteries, often it can be done painlessly at home,
while living a so-called normal home or family life. This is a huge difference today. As stated above, the main obstacles to the process today are
health problems of the people, since a certain amount of physical health is
needed to open the chakras.
The
most important requirements for opening the chakras today are:
á
Improved
diets with no toxic food additives, but not vegetarian diets and not raw food
diets. Meats contain the most
etheric energy, an energy that appears to assist with opening of the chakras
today, although in the past it was not as helpful. Vegetables also appear to be most helpful.
á
Possibly
other ways to remove toxic metals from the body
á
Renourishing,
and especially remineralizing the body, but not just with vitamin and mineral
tablets. Foods appear to be needed
for this process, as well.
á
Study
of many types of information. The
best seems to be moral codes and texts such as the bible. The next best appears to be
freedom-related material including Austrian or free market economics,
capitalist political philosophy such as The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith,
and perhaps even engineering or other technical material.
á
Daily
use of a near infrared sauna.
á
Daily
coffee enema use
á
Other
practices such as the Roy Masters and other meditations.
Opening
the chakras faster is the main reason the above procedures are so highly
recommended in nutritional balancing science.
The three lower chakras. The first three physical chakras are
often referred to as the lower chakras. They are concerned with physical and
emotional survival of the self and its growth, reproduction and
development. These dominate life
as a child. Most adults remain
stuck at these lower levels of functioning, as well. Following are more details about these chakras.
THE FIRST CHAKRA
This
is also sometimes called the base chakra.
It should be located about two inches directly above the anal area if
one is standing. Its shape is that of an extremely wide funnel facing downward
and slightly forward at about a 15 degree angle. It looks like a ballet dress,
slightly higher in front than in back because of the 15 degree forward tilt. It
has a reddish or magenta color depending on oneÕs toxicity level.
The
first chakra is associated with the reproductive system. On a broader level, the first chakra
concerns oneÕs physical base or structure. This includes oneÕs nutrition and
lifestyle, eating habits, physical environment, how, where and with whom one
lives, physical organs and systems, toxins and infections. It also has to do with the autonomic
nervous system, the stress response and oneÕs degree of grounding.
This
chakra needs the most work in the majority of the population. Exposure to toxic chemicals, unhealthy
food and eating habits, and stressful lifestyles prevent the development of
this chakra of energy center. When
this chakra is not developed, as is usually the case, a person is ungrounded,
uncentered, and prone to every imaginable illness and mental problem as
well. Truly, this chakra is oneÕs
connection with the earth, with grounding and knowing truly how to care for oneÕs
body.
Factors that help the first chakra.
Red light, nutritional balancing and healthful, relaxed lifestyles help
develop this chakra.
THE SECOND CHAKRA
This
should be about three inches below the navel and about 3/4 of the way through
to the back. It looks like two
narrow funnels, one opening forward and one opening backward, joined at the
narrow end. The forward-opening funnel angles upward at 15 degrees. The
backward-opening funnel angles down at 15 degrees. The color is light to dark
orange depending on oneÕs toxicity level.
The
second chakra is associated with the adrenal glands, and the large and small
intestines and has to do with energy, chi or vital force. On a broader level, it concerns the
balance of the emotions, and masculine and feminine energy. Those with difficulty in this area
suppress either their masculine or feminine side with overdevelopment of the
other aspect. This usually stems from childhood experiences although it can be
due to toxic substances causing sex hormone imbalances.
Factors that assist the second chakra.
Orange light, mild physical exercise, yoga, tai chi and chi kung are
helpful for this chakra. Other
useful therapies include Rolfing, jin shin jyutsu, shiatsu, acupuncture,
acupressure, chiropractic, massage, feldenkreis work and other bodywork or
body-centered therapies. That is,
any therapy that helps balance and strengthen the physical body is helpful for
second chakra development.
THE THIRD CHAKRA
This
should be about three horizontal fingers or two inches below the bottom of the
sternum or breast bone and about 3/4 of the way through to the back. It looks like two funnels that open at
about 45-degree angles. One extends forward and up at a 15-degree angle. The
other opens backward and is angled downward at 15 degrees. The color ranges
from light to dark yellow depending on oneÕs toxicity level.
The
third chakra is associated with the stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas. On a broader level, the third chakra
has to do with ego strength and issues regarding power, control and
manipulation of the physical environment.
It is also concerned with thoughts, beliefs and judgments. Those with difficulty in this area hold
powerful negative thoughts or beliefs about the self or others. Some feel they must manipulate and
control others in order to survive.
Factors that help open the third
chakra. Yellow light, reading, meditation,
affirmations, psychotherapy and positive imagery may be helpful to correct
imbalances in this chakra.
THE FOURTH CHAKRA
This
is also often called the heart chakra.
It should be in the center of the chest, at the level of the nipples,
close to the bottom of the breast bone and 3/4 of the way through the
back. The shape is sometimes
described as a lotus flower, rounded and extending outward in front and in the
back. The flower in front should angle upward at 15 degrees. The one in back should angle about 15
degrees downward. The color varies
from light green to dark grey depending on oneÕs health and toxicity level.
The
fourth chakra is associated with the heart, lungs and thymus gland. On a broader level, this chakra
concerns giving and receiving, obligations and agreements, and receiving love
and grace from other people and animals.
It also has to do with boundaries.
People with difficulty in this area often feel undeserving of love. They
have Ôhardened their heartÕ for some reason. Some are also selfish or lack motivation to accomplish tasks
set before them.
The
fourth is a transition chakra to the higher energy centers. It is the first chakra that does not
build the ego and instead, begins development of the higher emotions such as
empathy, compassion and wisdom.
Factors that assist the opening of the
fourth chakra. Green light, pets, stress reduction
therapy, prayer, some meditations, psychodrama and other therapies can help
develop this chakra.
THE FIFTH CHAKRA
This
is often called the throat chakra.
It should be at the level of the AdamÕs apple and 3/4 of the way back
through the neck. Its shape is
like two wide funnels, joined at the narrow ends. The one that opens to the
front should angle up 15 degrees.
The one that opens backward should angle down 15 degrees. The color varies from light to dark
blue depending on oneÕs toxicity level.
The
fifth chakra is associated with the throat and thyroid gland. On a broader level, this chakra
concerns expression in the world through oneÕs work, hobbies, relationships,
speaking, writing and so forth. It
also has to do generally with oneÕs work in the world and relationships with
other workers. Those with
difficulty in this area are inhibited or feel incompetent, stupid or otherwise
unable to express their gifts.
Blocked expression contributes to problems with the thyroid, throat,
tonsils and neck.
Factors that help open the fifth chakra.
Bluish-colored light, counseling and learning to express oneself help
develop this chakra. Also, holding
many jobs and working in the world are often very helpful for this chakra.
THE SIXTH CHAKRA
This
is often also called the brow chakra or third eye chakra. It should begin near the pituitary
gland, between the eyebrows, inside the head about half way to the back of the
head. It appears like two very,
very wide funnels, one extending forward and one extending backwards, joined at
the narrow ends. The forward one should angle up 15 degrees. The one facing
backward should angle down 15 degrees. They resemble the light beams from a
lighthouse, one shining forward and the other backward. The color ranges from light to dark
indigo.
The
sixth chakra is associated with the brain, especially the eyes, vision and the pituitary gland. It is sometimes called the third eye or
brow chakra. On a broader level,
the sixth chakra is generally associated with wisdom and vision. More specifically, it concerns the
expansion of consciousness in wisdom, judgment, and possibly in competence,
compassion or understanding of the Òbig pictureÓ. When the chakra is open, one develops a broad vision of the world and the universe. Those with difficulty in this area are
focused on their ego lives or on some lower aspect of the self. They are often successful in the ego
world and understand some truth.
However, they lack a broad perspective and a desire to share their
knowledge in the larger world. As
a result, their actions are limited in their impact on the larger world.
Factors that help develop the sixth
chakra. Indigo light,
travel, prayer, giving in charity, and study tends to help develop this
chakra. However, one must also
desire at a deep level to share oneÕs wisdom freely in order for this chakra to
develop fully. This is actually
rare on earth, where money and power are often concentrated in a few hands and
they rarely desire to share what they know and have with others.
THE SEVENTH CHAKRA
This
also called the crown chakra. It
should begin near the pineal gland, close to the middle of the skull. It resembles a single, medium-width
funnel opening upwards from the crown of the head, and tilted back at about a
15 degree angle. Its color ranges
from light to deep violet.
The
seventh chakra is associated with the pineal gland and spiritual
development. On a broader level it
is associated with conviction, knowing and alignment with purpose. Opening the seventh chakra is necessary
to receive greater knowledge and wisdom that is beyond the level of the
physical body. Those with
difficulty in this area are aware of the truth, but donÕt always practice it,
especially as it affects physical health. They may live on poor quality food or
exhaust themselves, for example, although they know better. They may waver or
allow others to influence them against their best interests.
Factors that assist the seventh chakra.
Violet light and a strong desire to connect with the higher self and
practice what one knows help develop the seventh chakra. The use of the antenna
of the multiwave oscillator also helps develop the seventh chakra. Many other methods can also be used,
especially a grounding meditation to bring energy in from the head downward to
the body.
CHAKRA IMBALANCES
Prenatal Influences. Chakra imbalances often begin before
one is born, although babies generally have chakras that spin evenly and with
great intensity. If oneÕs parents
were in poor health, unbalanced emotionally, angry, distraught or genetically
weak, the childÕs chakras are affected before birth by induction. The motherÕs health, fitness and
emotional balance is most important as the unborn child is so close to her all
of the time. However, the fatherÕs
influence is also strong at all times due to his genetic influence and often
due to his proximity and his effect on his wife.
Birth and childhood.
At birth, the chakras are narrow and less than two inches in
length. They spin fairly evenly
and brightly, and are in the correct alignment. Babies are usually in fairly good health, although today
many are not in good health. This
will be reflected in chakras that are damaged-looking, such as dim, or deformed
in shape, or darker in color.
As
a child grows up, physical and emotional stress and trauma diminish the intensity
of the chakras and distort and damage them in many ways. They often begin to spin backwards and
their color usually darkens due to improper food and emotional shocks to the
system that disturb the delicate functioning of the chakra system. This is the typical pattern that
develops by the time a child has reached the teenage years.
Adulthood.
By the time one reaches adulthood, the chakras are usually distorted in
their shape and most often, all of them rotate backward, unevenly and fairly
slowly, which is not good. Also,
their brightness is diminished.
Their location is often off center and their color is often dark or
grey. Those that should rotate
inward may rotate outward and vice versa. The result is toxicity, low vitality,
and physical and emotional imbalances.
This is a harbinger of disease and death, since the chakras must
function properly for health and healing to occur.
Causes
of these distortions and imbalances include fatigue, which slows the chakra
spin. Emotional trauma is another
important cause of imbalances.
Today poor quality diets affect the chakras greatly, as do injuries,
accidents, illnesses, electromagnetic stress, geopathic stress and emotions
such as fear, worry, unhappiness, anger, guilt and other negative emotions.
Low
self-esteem, the result of traumas, usually, or school issues, also greatly
affects the spin of the chakras.
This is why the emphasis today on self esteem is not all bad. However, self esteem must be real and
just rewarding children for fake achievements or phony grades or other reasons
does not do much for the childÕs real self esteem. Far better would be real challenges for the children that
are geared to their level, so they could really earn a level of self esteem
from their works. This is provided
in places such as the military, and is one reason for the popularity of the
military, although of course it is a dangerous way to achieve it.
Later adulthood.
In most cases, the chakras just continue to lose intensity and their
brilliant colors as life goes on.
This is sad, as it means that life is just ebbing away, even though the
person may claim to be happy and may earn lots of money, raise a family and
learn all manner of wisdom and knowledge.
What is missing is what is called development, discussed in other
articles on this website.
Development
is a special type of integration of the chakras that allows them to open,
meaning become much larger, spin much faster and achieve a brightness that they
cannot achieve each on its own.
This is the process that nutritional balancing can help with greatly,
and it almost assures a more healthful and longer life.
CHAKRA INTEGRATION
Development
requires detoxification of the body today, along with renourishing the body and
often a type of balancing of the body that is not easy to achieve. Nutritional balancing seems to provide
a lot of this, for which reason I continue to recommend it. This is the reason this science is so
effective, in fact. That is, it is
not a physical nutritional science as much as it is the use of physical
substances such as food and supplementary nutrients in a special way that Dr.
Eck stumbled upon to integrate the body and mind in a special way that allows
the chakras to open. This may be
called the esoteric understanding of nutritional balancing science and hair
mineral analysis.
This
is the reason that physical or biochemical knowledge alone cannot explain the
reasons why one should eat only certain foods, take only certain supplements
and not all the others, and so on.
The real reason is that the others do not integrate and cause
development, although they may heal the body physically.
One
may say, but who cares if the chakras develop, as long as the person feels
better. This is a valid argument
from a physical standpoint. The
answer is that development actually brings a higher level of health than is
even conceivable or remotely possibly with just physical or biochemical
healing. Of course, since it is
invisible to most people, it is hard to prove. The only proof is that people feel better in unusual ways,
such as more vitality, a better attitude, emotionally more stable and other
more subtle and often less tangible ways.
This
is as much about the theory of the chakras as this article will present. Later, as the charkas begin to grow and
balance, they begin to overlap and the overall color of the upper chakras take
on a whiter glow or appearance.
This is the traditional halo seen in art works and pictures depicting saints and other holy
people. In fact, however, anyone
can develop their chakras to this degree with some effort and persistence.
CHAKRA HEALING
Healing
the chakras is a term used commonly in new age circles and among certain
Oriental healers as well. they
often use methods that are ancient, including special breathing exercise,
chanting, singing, special prayers, mantras (special words or phrases), mudras
(special hand positions), meditations and color therapies. In addition, they use many other
therapies such as placing certain gemstones on the body, drinking various
herbal teas, spinning pendulums and other items over the body, cranial
adjustments, and such items as yoga postures, chi kung exercises and many other
methods.
These
older methods, while excellent, are not needed in most cases, provided a person
will eat properly, sleep enough, live a healthful lifestyle, learn to think
clearly and correctly, and renourish and remineralize the body. In addition, certain supplements of
minerals such as zinc, selenium, chromium, calcium and magnesium, in
particular, are always needed for a while as well.
The
use of the near infrared sauna, in particular, is also most helpful for most
people for up to 10 years on a daily basis. The reason for this is it helps detoxify the body and the
red, orange and yellow colored light, along with near infrared, seems to
activate the first chakra, which is a hidden key to development.
Why not use the older methods of chakra
balancing? The reasons
are that humanity has moved ahead spiritually in certain ways, and because the
earth is now being flooded with special energies that have to do with the 12/12
(December 2012) or the Òend of daysÓ spoken of in the bible and in many other
traditions. As a result, the
vibrations are being speeded up drastically compared to even 50 years ago, or
even 30 years ago.
This
may not be felt for some time, but the change is occurring. One can tell, perhaps, in the newer
interest in environmental health, natural healing, green technologies and so
forth. However, please know that
most of this interest is misguided.
That is, it is mixed with fear that is causing the environmental
movement to be a reactionary, anti-capitalist, anti-technology, anti-progress
movement that is damaging the movement and harming the people of the earth.
There
is nothing wrong with oil, natural gas, propane and other older technologies
and there is not reason to stop using them. Wind, solar and others are not yet viable and the people
need cheap energy. While they do
pollute the earth and are finite resources, there is still plenty available and
they should be used until cleaner technology is widely accepted, which is
coming.
The
pollution is due to the use of older methods of burning the fuels, and to
nothing else. Clean coal, clean
oil, clean diesel and others are available today and are used mainly in
America, but need to be used around the world now to prevent the ravages of
pollution, mercury poisoning from coal and all the rest.
However,
each nation must come to this themselves.
They cannot be forced by world bodies without interfering with the
sovereignty of the nations, which is a horrible step backward and one step
toward a world tyranny that will not likely be permitted. So I am not speaking of the
environmental movement when I say people are more interested in the
environment. I am speaking on a
different level, not the political one.
No need for the older methods. As a result, I am not going to detail all the known methods
for chakra healing, which is the same as opening and balancing the
chakras. I will only mention one
or two that are still very important, in addition to the ones discussed above.
CHAKRA CHANTING
Certain
sounds energize the chakras. A ÔrrrrrÕ sound energizes the first chakra. An ÔehÕ
sound energizes the second. An ÔeeeeÕ sound energizes the third. An ÔahÕ sound
energizes the fourth. An ÔohÕ sound energizes the fifth. A ÔooÕ sound energizes
the sixth. An ÔowÕ sound energizes the seventh.
CHAKRA MEDITATIONS
The
Roy Masters meditation exercise energizes and balances the chakras in
remarkable ways. It is both safe
and effective. Religions and
spiritual groups offer hundreds of other meditation that supposedly will help
develop the chakras, either individually or all at once. However, some are not safe, while many
others are just not that effective.
Some modification of the Roy Masters procedure is needed, however.
Modifying
the Roy Masters exercise. The
major modification is to move energy down the front of the body as forcefully
as possible, moving it with force down from the crown of the head, not the
third eye area, down to the right hand.
However, after a while one should move the energy down to the left hand
as well, and then down into both the right and left feet and even below the
feet.
Doing
this repeatedly and forcefully, each time as though it were the first time, and
never mechanically, will move energy in such a fashion that it energizes and
balances and integrates all the chakras.
The name of this exercise is the current of life exercise. It is somewhat different from the
original Roy Masters exercise, so it deserves a different name. It is a method used everywhere in the
universe, as it is a universal method or principle that I happened upon quite
by accident, using the Roy Masters method as a basis. It is described on the CD that I offer about the
meditation-observation exercise.
THE NON-PHYSICAL CHAKRA
SYSTEM
The
first seven chakras described above are on the physical body. In addition to these, the other human
bodies, sometimes called the subtle human bodies or energy bodies of a human
being, also may have chakras or energy centers, at various times during their
development. So, for example, what
is called the astral body or energy field has two chakras. When one is undeveloped, the etheric,
mental, causal, monadic and spiritual bodies have none.
As
one unfolds spiritually, the etheric body develops seven chakras, although when
this body is fully developed, they blend into one. The mental body develops two
chakras as it develops. Later
these blend into one large energy center.
The causal, monadic and spiritual bodes each develop one chakra as they
develop, and finally all of these blend into one very large rotating vortex of energy. This never happens on planet earth,
however, as this level of development is far above what is even possible on
earth today.
The
reason to mention all this, however, is to let everyone know that the human
being is much more than a bag of bones, as many call it. It is a wondrous organism that carries
within it the seed of a great and powerful being, no matter how frail and small
it may seem right now.
