Healing Through Heart
What are Chakras?
Chakras are the spinning wheels of energy that interface points between the physical and non-physical bodies. They lie along a linear pathway from the Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, to the Root Chakra located at the base of the spine. Each acts as a transformer within the body. Their purpose is to bring a higher level of vibration into the system for purification and healing of negative energies. In all, there are 22 chakras, seven are considered primary and are represented by the seven color rays. These seven are the focus of this website and a beginning to working with this wonderful system.
Why are they important?
The physical body is a complex series of separate, yet related systems of energy. Each section expresses a range of energy vibrations within a network of zones of energy, spheres within spheres. These chakras are the energetic links between the human body and the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Activation of the chakras allows us to operate at optimal levels mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Why Chakra Balancing?
Aging, illness, absorption of negative energies can affect these energy systems and slow the spinning the chakras. Activation and, balance of the energy flow in chakras allows these bodies to once again operate at optimal balance with the higher self. Ancient cultures studied, used their knowledge of the chakras and the stones to maintain the vitality of the spinning of the chakras. Chakra balancing is recommended as a daily practice, weekly at a minimum.
Which Chakras Need Clearing?
Chakras are affected by many factors-past events, patterns or habits, current stress, environmental factors. Your intuition may give clues because of events that are happening (or not happening) in your life as to which chakras are in need of clearing. Both of the following may be of further assistance.
1. Use pendulum following given instructions, asking “Is my ___ chakra in need of balancing?” You can further identify imbalance by asking if cause is Physical, Emotional, Spiritual. Use this information during meditation.
2. While lying down hold ( or have someone else hold ) pendulum over area of each chakra, asking about health of each. When using this method, the indication for a healthy, open chakra, the pendulum will generally move clockwise, swinging in a circle about the size of your open hand. Any variation may indicate a chakra out of balance
