What are Chakras?
The word chakra comes from the Sanskrit (ancient language) and means spinning wheel or disc.
Chakras are spinning wheels of light – essentially energy centres that are situated along our spine. They are wheel like vortices that exist in our etheric body. Our etheric body is our body double, also known as our subtle body. It is the first layer in our energy field. This is the body we utilise when astral travelling, dreaming, meditating or have an out of body experience. There has been lots written about out of body experiences – particularly when people speak about their Near-Death Experiences.
The etheric body and the physical body share an intimate bond of interdependence and what affects one, affects the other. It is through the etheric body that prana/chi or life energy can be absorbed into and distributed through the physical body. This energy moves through our chakras. Chakras function as gateways through which subtle energies and information are channelled to us from our environment and astral planes.
The chakras are the regulators and transformers - they absorb, integrate, and transmit prana/chi/ life-force energy to our subtle body. They take this information and energy and move it through our meridians – which run throughout the body like an intricate irrigation system.
We have many chakras. The first 12 deal with the physical aspects and the next 20 or so deal with the spiritual. Today we are going to discuss 7. Each chakra nourishes and regulates a specific area of our being and this is because these particular chakras are body based and operate according to physical laws. These chakras contain clues to everything that affects us. They regulate the human energy system and seek to maintain equilibrium in health while assisting the mind and the souls need to grow, develop and heal
Which Way Does Each Chakra Spin?
Honestly, there is no definitive answer when it comes to chakras spinning.
Some believe that when our chakras are open and balanced then they spin in a clockwise direction, spinning energy away from the bottom of our spines to the crown of our heads. On the contrary, when a chakra is blocked or unbalanced then it may spin counter-clockwise.
Others believe that the chakras spin in a clockwise direction in order to release energy out of the body, while chakras spin anti clockwise in order to pull energy from the external world into our being.
This chart is designed to help you understand each chakra – its functionality, bodily connections, characteristics, regulation and dysregulations. It outlines essential oils and crystals to enhance or assist with alignment. This information helped me greatly when I was first starting out and diving into the world of energy. I hope you find it helpful and beneficial.
Here are six tips for balancing your chakras
Body movements to work with your chakras - Yoga, Tai Chi. Meaningful movement allows for more CHI/energy to flow throughout your body
Visualization - Visualise yourself receiving healing energy moving into every cell of your being and travelling to all parts of your body including your mind and the energy around your body.
Connect with nature - You can receive a good Grounding from connecting with mother earth. It is important to be grounded - great to be able to connect psychic etc and the reality is we need to function on the earth plane - groundedness is imperative. To get shit done and live as a human you need to choose to be grounded. Example of beach and rainforest differences.
Sound healing – remember the YouTube clip this morning from the water experiment? Our environment impacts us greatly.
Chakra meditations – daily. Not only will this strengthen your immune system it will have you coming from a centred place and have you receiving messages from your guides
Chanting - It is the vibrations from your voice that help to clear blockages from your chakras. Sound healing works from the outside in – chanting works from the inside out.
