Chakras

I would like to share with you my knowledge about Chakras.

For those who never heard about that, information may look a bit unreal; for those who heard and had a chance to experience feeling the chakras – this information may clear some questions.

There are a lot of things that are hidden from us now and no one can say that he or she know everything about the world around and inside us for sure. I believe that that knowledge are not really hidden, but rather not known to us as yet. Imagine people living 300 years ago – they would say that it is not possible to lighten the house by pushing the button on a wall, just because they didn’t have electricity in use then.
Today we know that this doesn’t mean electricity didn’t exist 300 years ago, people just didn’t know how to use it.
The same with Chakras – they do exists, no matter if we know about them or not.

The actual word Chakra means “wheel” or “vortex”. Those lucky people who can see the chakras describe them as spinning energy vortexes moving in and out of our bodies simultaneously, through the different but quite specific points.

In most sources has detailed 7 major chakras. Although it is a myth that there are only 7 chakras. We have a lot of energetic intersections within our body and they form a lot of secondary chakras. Most known schema is related to the Chinese acupuncture points.

These Chakras are like small power-stations that power our bodies. These power-stations act as receptors, assimilators and transmitters of life force energies. They generate energy for the corresponding glands and organs of the physical body. The same way we use mouth to get food into the body supporting it existence, chakras “eat” Universal energy and transform it to the energies required by body during our lifetime.

The seven major chakras have individual functions and purposes. Each of the main chakras corresponds to certain parts of our body and brings the energy to that part.
While each of the chakras can be balanced separately to improve that part of the body-mind-soul system, the whole chakra system works best when all the chakras function in concert.

When a stressed chakra is shutting down, a healthier chakra will often expand to compensate for the lowering of the whole energy system. The chakras are typically team players.
Still, it is not healthy for any one player in a team to pull more than his share of the weight for prolonged periods. Expansion for the sake of picking up the slack will eventually put strain on the relationship. Ultimately, the whole team will suffer. And in the case of your chakras, when the chakras are not functioning together optimally as a healthy team illness and disease manifests.

In short, if all the chakras are balanced and work harmoniously then we will have harmony and well being in all the aspects of our life be it health or relationships, money or career.

What usually we find in our modern society packed with stress which affect our relationships, strong desires which affect our mental stability, less then perfect relationships that affect our health, low self-esteem and so on – it is very much description of imbalanced Chakras.

A lot of question may appear: What to do to balance them?
Can I actually balance? How it could help me? Would it help?

If you ever heard the term “reverse engineering” or “law of attraction” you would agree that everything is interrelated.

We can improve our relationship and this will balance our second or sacral chakra, but we also can work toward balancing our sacral chakra which will cause our relationship be improved. Whichever way suits you best – it is up to you. Just sometimes we don’t see the way out of conflict situation and don’t really know how to work out heavy and not even spoken questions.

The best way to improve or balance our chakra system is to meditate.

I would like to offer you simple meditation technique. You can learn following instructions and follow those in your own pace and space.

Place timer or alarm so you not falling asleep. 15 minutes should be enough.

Sit or lye down in comfortable position; Breathe in… breathe out… Count your breath for several minutes to calm you mind… Concentrate on your spine – just tell yourself about your spine, where it is located, or recall the pictures from anatomy books.

Imagine you are walking up through the spine from very low point up to the highest point where spine is connected to the head.

Breath in – walk up through the vertebras;
Breath out – slide down through the spinal cord…
Continue for 10-20 breaths…

Feel the sensation arise in the spine during that process – warmth, or tingling sensation, or cold, or just sensation of your own knowledge that you do have a spine…

Now, rise up only over first 2 vertebras on inhalation, and then breathe out down to the sit bones. Visualize color red. Breathe Red color in and out for 5 breaths…

Then raise your awareness to the lumbar curve and breathe in; breathe out and move you attention down to the beginning of your spine. Visualize color orange. Do it for 5 breaths…

Raise your awareness to the point above of lumbar curve, opposite the solar plexus, and breathe in; move you attention down to the beginning of your spine while breathing out. Visualize color yellow. Do it for 5 breaths…

Raise your awareness again to the part of your spine in level with the heart while breathe in; move you attention down to the beginning of your spine while breathing out. Visualize color green. Do it for 5 breaths…

Now raise your awareness higher, to the base of your neck while breathe in; move you attention down to the beginning of your spine while breathing out. Visualize sky blue color. Do it for 5 breaths…

Now raise your awareness higher, to the base of your head while breathe in; move you attention down to the beginning of your spine while breathing out. Visualize indigo - dark blue color. Do it for 5 breaths…

Now raise your awareness even higher, above the spine, to the top of your head on inhalation; move you attention down to the beginning of your spine on exhalation. Visualize purple or violet color. Do it for 5 breaths… Lastly return to your whole spine, breath into it for 5 breaths and return your awareness to the World around you.

Deeply inhale and exhale fully.

Return to present…

Enjoy.

With Love
