Chakras

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.
