The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet. This invisible energy, called Prana, is vital life force, which keeps us vibrant, healthy, and alive.
These swirling wheels of energy correspond to massive nerve centers in the body. Each of the seven main chakras contains bundles of nerves and major organs as well as our psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being. Since everything is moving, it’s essential that our seven main chakras stay open, aligned, and fluid. If there is a blockage, energy cannot flow. Think of something as simple as your bathtub drain. If you allow too much hair to go into the drain, the bathtub will back up with water, stagnate and eventually bacteria and mold will grow. So is too with our bodies and the chakras. A bathtub is simple; it’s physical so the fix is easy.
Keeping a chakra open is a bit more of a challenge, but not so difficult when you have awareness. Since mind, body, soul, and spirit are intimately connected, awareness of an imbalance in one area will help bring the others back into balance. Take for example, a wife, who has recently lost her husband. She develops acute bronchitis, which remains in the chest, and then gets chest pains each time she coughs. The whole heart chakra is affected in this case. If she realizes the connection between the loss and the bronchitis, healing will occur much faster if she honors the grieving process and treats that as well as the physical ailment.
The first three chakras, starting at the base of the spine are chakras of matter. They are more physical in nature.
First Chakra: The Muladhara is the chakra of stability, security, and our basic needs. It encompasses the first three vertebrae, the bladder, and the colon. When this chakra is open, we feel safe and fearless.
Second Chakra: The Svadhisthana chakra is our creativity and sexual center. It is located above the pubic bone, below the navel, and is responsible for our creative expression.
Third Chakra: The Manipura chakra means lustrous gem and it’s the area from the navel to the breastbone. The third chakra is our source of personal power.
Located at the heart center, the fourth chakra, anahata is at the middle of the seven and unites the lower chakras of matter and the upper chakras of spirit. The fourth is also spiritual but serves as a bridge between our body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The heart chakra is our source of love and connection.
When we work through our physical chakras, or the first three, we can open the spiritual chakras more fully.
Fifth Chakra: The Vishuddha chakra is the fifth chakra, located in the area of the throat. This is our source of verbal expression and the ability to speak our highest truth. The fifth chakra includes the neck, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, jaw, mouth, and tongue.
Sixth Chakra: The Ajna chakra is located in between the eyebrows. It is also referred to as the “third eye” chakra. Ajna is our center of intuition. We all have a sense of intuition but we may not listen to it or heed its warnings. Focus on opening the sixth chakra will help you hone this ability.
Seventh Chakra: The Sahaswara chakra or the “thousand petal lotus” chakra is located at the crown of the head. This is the chakra of enlightenment and spiritual connection to our higher selves, others, and ultimately, to the divine. It is located at the crown of the head.
Awareness to which of your chakras are out of balance is key to aligning them. Our bodies are in constant flux between balance and imbalance. Unless you have an apparent problem in one area of the body, imbalances can be difficult to detect. That being said, it’s good to bring awareness to your body/mind and start to learn its signals and clues.
For example, frequent constipation can indicate a blockage in the first chakra. A recurring sore throat leaves clues to a blocked fifth chakra. Frequent headaches around the area of the forehead may mean your sixth chakra is blocked.
In the following articles on the chakras, we will explore each of the seven main chakras in depth as well as tips on how to align them.
The Chakras
The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk.
Day before yesterday when the News came on saying " Another shooting at Fort Hood , an Army Base in Texas , I was shocked then found myself getting pissed. These men had served up to 2 & 3 tours of Dudy and at ground zero ( at home ) were shot down like dogs . The second time there , I still remember the first time . Why arn't the Doctors & scrinks doing more for our men when you know after doing some of the Military jobs over-seas , was fucked up . So now am back to praying for the men & boys who serve to help others and keep us all sleeping better at night. They don't deserve the treatment they get or better still that they don't get. My prayers go out to the fallen & wounded , to their families & loved ones and to our Nation that seems to have fallen beside the wayfair . God Bless America . God blesss the men & women who serve defending the weak and helpless . They deserve so much more than they get. I'm so sad and will be angry for a long time...........
Little Indians walking two by two
Three girls ,one boy losing faith with the world
One by one moving towards the front , One by one moving towards the front
Can you take them away ?
Can you carry them away ?
Maybe they're the mirror that reflects all
Can you take it way ?
Can you kiss it away ?
Maybe they're the mirror that reflects all !
Little Indian men , walking two by two
Lost an weary losing faith with their world
One by one moving towards their death.
Little child walking all alone ,
Lost and lonely losing faith with my world .
Step by step , moving towards my end
Step by step
Moving towards my end .
Can you take them away ? Can you carry them away ?
Maybe they're the mirror that reflects all !
Can you take it away ? Can you kiss it away ?
Maybe they're the mirror that reflects all !
this is a song written & sang by Robert Mirabal/ Reynaldo Lujan/ Mark Andes an Indian Group that has helped shape the Spiritual beliefs I practice and love. In Mirabals words " This is America , this is our Country ,keep on reading the truth, writing , singing the truth. May our songs always be heard ......Love & Light . Maybe they're the mirror that reflects all !!!!
I wondered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills ,
When all at once I saw a crowd ,
A host , of golden daffodiles ;
Beside the lake , beneath the trees ,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze .
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way ,
They stretched in never-endig line
Alone the margin of a bay :
Ten thousand saw I at a glance ,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance .
The waves beside them danced ; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee ;
A poet could not be gay
In such a jocund company ; I gazed -----and gazed ----
But little thought , What wealth the show to me had brought ;
For oft , when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood , they flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude ; And then my heart with pleasure fills ,
And dances with the daffodils .
William Wordsworth ( 1770---1850 )
Wordsworth was a figure of the Romantic movement and his greatest
works are Masterpieces of eloquent passion.
Trees bent and swayed to the beat of angry skies ,
And I didn't have to ask the Earth why.
We need to give back what we've so freely taken ,
Greed will not be in the making ,
We need to heal her wide gaping wound ,
Or we're sealing our penitent doom.
We need to plant , we need to grow , we need to cherish ,
What we have below ,
It's not ours to destroy ,
The Earth is not our toy .....
Soon we'll reap just what we've all sown .....
As we wonder all alone .....
Remember me when I am gone away ,
Gone far away into the silent land ;
When you can no more hold me by the hand ,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay .
Remember me when no more day by day ,
You tell me of the future that you planned ;
Only remember me ; you understand
It will be too late to counsel then or pray .
Yet if you should forget me for awhile
And afterwards remember , do not grieve .
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestiage of the thoughts that once I had ,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad .
Christina Rossetti (1830 --- 1894 ) I am totally feeling this way , I was so born out of my true time ..... And hope I will remember this walk and be sad .... L.E.H.
