Welcome to the subtle world of the chakras – the human energy system. For sure, the chakras are not something physical, we can’t see them. They are aspects of our consciousness. But, chakras help us to understand the close relationship between our consciousness and our body, or what we call as the mind-body relationship. There is an aura of mysticism surrounding the chakras. Whenever we talk of chakra, we get the illusion of the energy pattern leading to spiritual alchemy. But how many of us are really aware that chakras healing can go beyond ‘psychic’ or spiritual and heal our physical body? "The Life-giving Orange Ray of the Cosmos permeates my being by way of the solar plexus filling me with vitality and the joy of life, revivifying my glands, recharging my etheric body, and rejuvenating every atom and particle of my being." -S.G.J. Ouseley Chakras or the ‘whirling disk’ or ‘wheel’ are the psychoactive energy centers in the human body. These are directly associated with physical, mental and emotional health of a person. There are many chakras in the human body but only seven of them constitute the main energy centers. All seven chakras have their own particular color, light and specific number of ‘petals’ or segments around the perimeter of the chakra circle. These are the colors we see in the rainbow – violet, indigo, green, yellow, orange and red. Each of these seven chakras vibrates with a specific frequency related to their color. The decisions we make and how we perceive and respond to conditions in our life is regulated by these vibrations. ![]() Here’s a simple explanation of where the chakras are located and how the vital life force flows. In a healthy body, the energy flow is harmonious and all the chakras are in equilibrium. In the blocked chakras (similar to a blocked artery), the energy does not flow harmoniously. This results in imbalance of the chakras. The physical manifestation of each chakra is through specific glands/nerves in the endocrine system and the nervous system. An imbalance in the chakras is expressed through these systems resulting in physical and mental illness. 1. Root Chakra or the Muladhara Location: Below the sacrum bone (base of the spine) Endocrine System: Adrenal glands Organs/System Affected: Large intestine and rectum; some influence the function of kidneys, muscular system, and the fat cells. Deficiency/Excess: Disorders of the bowel and large intestine, eating disorders, depression and immune related disorders, chronic lower back pain, and lack of energy. 2. Spleen Chakra or the Svadishthana Location: Lower abdomen Endocrine System/Hormonal Gland: Pancreas Organs/System Affected: Liver, kidneys, and the lower abdomen. Deficiency/Excess: Chronic back pain, sciatica, loss of appetite, blood cancer, diabetes; dysfunction of reproductive organs, spleen, and urinary system. 3. Solar Plexus Chakra or the Manipura Location: Solar plexus (below the diaphragm)
Chakra balancing is a common form of energy healing. The following techniques are beneficial in harmonizing chakras: "Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie Which we ascribe to heaven" (William Shakespeare in All's Well That Ends Well) |
