The Chakras

The word chakra translates from the Sankrit word “wheel” or “vortex.” There are 7 chakras located on a "power line" which runs down the center of the body from the top of the head to the base of the spine. These chakras are whirling masses of subtle energy which act as “control centers” for the energy meridians throughout our body, and which receive, store and transmit vital energy. They are shaped like a "funnel" which is narrowest where our spine is, and which widens as it faces outwards.

Through the energy meridian system, the chakras metabolize and supply vital energy to the various systems and organs of the entire body (similar to how food is physically metabolized). Each chakra resonates at a different frequency and corresponds to a specific color, bodily system, and personality aspects. The chakras also store experiences which have had an emotional impact on us during our lives, with various types of emotions corresponding to each chakra.

Select a chakra below for more detailed information.

CHAKRA	LOCATION	COLOR	RELATED GLAND
Base	Root of tailbone	• Red	Adrenal
Sacral	Below the navel	• Orange	Ovaries/testes
Solar Plexus	Above the navel	• Yellow	Pancreas
Heart	Heart, between breasts	• Green	Thymus
Throat	Throat	• Blue	Thyroid
Brow/Third Eye	Center of forehead	• Indigo	Pituitary
Crown	Top of head	• Violet	Pineal

An energetic imbalance in one chakra can affect the energy balance within surrounding chakras. The amount of energy flowing through each chakra, as well as the clarity of the color, can indicate an imbalance either within that particular chakra or within the energy meridian assoicated with that chakra. The faster a chakra spins, the more energy it can receive and transmit. When a chakra stops functioning properly, the intake of energy will be disturbed and energetic imbalance will result. The organs and systems related to that particular chakra will reflect this imbalance by inhibiting the immune system in that area of the body, evenually resulting in weakness or illness. Fear-based emotions and situations may also manifest.

A clear, balanced flow of energy within the chakras is important for healthy functioning of the body. The clearer and more uninhibited the vital energy flow between the body, the more health and well-being will be experienced.

Each of the chakras represents a different level of consciousness, and the same issue perceived from the perspective of each chakra would be experienced differently. The chakras each function at their own frequency, the higher its location within the body, the higher the frequency.

The Unified Chakra

Whereas the first three chakras are focused on our sens of individuality and the preservation of our individual identity, the heart chakra opens us to the realization that all life is intimately connected, and that we are a part of the whole. When the heart chakra is cleared and balanced, a excellent meditation called the Unified Chakra Meditation can be used to raise the clear all other chakras, causing them to become balanced and merge into one unified chakra.
