What are Chakras?

The word chakra (pronounced “Shock-Ruh”) is Sanskrit for wheel or vortex of energy and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. The Chakras run along a central channel called the Sushumna which runs parallel with the spinal column, in which the Kundalini energy flows, opening each chakra along its path. The body's chakras influence our aura colors. When one of the chakras is out of alignment, our aura reflects this.

Each chakra is associated with an individual color and even a lotus flower, as shown below.

Chakra One: Earth, Physical identity, oriented to self-preservation Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence.

Chakra Two: Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change.

Chakra Three: Fire, Ego identity, oriented to self-definition This chakra is known as the power chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating power.

Chakra Four: Air, Social identity, oriented to self-acceptance This chakra is called the heart chakra and is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It is related to love and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, have a deep sense of peace and centeredness

Chakra Five: Sound, Creative identity, oriented to self-expression This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language.

Chakra Six: Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."

Chakra Seven: Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.

Tensions that are felt in our consciousness are also felt in our body via the chakra system and vice versa.

In other words, if we were having a:

• First chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with our daily survival, vital energy or dedication to physical life and Body as problems with our skeleton, legs, knees or feet.
• Second chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with our emotions, ability to give or receive nurturing, or our home and Body as problems with our reproductive organs, intestines or lower back.
• Third chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with thinking and power struggles with others or within our self and Body as problems with our liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen or pancreas
• Fourth chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties giving or expressing love in our relationships and our over-all health and Body as problems with our heart, lungs, immune system, arms or hands
• Fifth chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with communication and creativity and Body as problems with our throat, mouth, speech or hearing
• Sixth chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with inspiration, imagination and spiritual power and Body as nightmares or problems with our vision, face, head or sleep
• Seventh chakra problem: it would express through our Consciousness as difficulties with mind expansion and Body as problems with our brain or nervous system

To balance your chakras through meditation, simply concentrate on each chakra beginning at the base chakra. Visualize the chakra as a sphere spinning and visualize bringing white light directly into the sphere until the sphere is full of the white light... Picture the white light cleansing the sphere and removing all of the negativity within the sphere. If you can concentrate on this enough you will actually be able to feel the subtle energy field here and the vibration of this happening.... now picture a bright red light entering your chakra with vibrant red energy refilling the whole sphere until it is completely full. Now Move up to the Sacral chakra and repeat the same procedure only filling it with orange light instead of red, and move all the way up all of the chakras in this manner filling each with their own color after cleansing....

This is a simple meditation, there are more complex ways of cleansing and balancing with the use of crystals, reiki and other healing techniques but most people notice a significant difference just after doing one of these meditations.
