THE CHAKRA SYSTEM

Chakras are vortex-like energy centers. Commonly seven major chakras are mentioned, six of which are rooted in the spine and one at the top of the head. We receive a main intake of chakra energies through the crown chakra from where it flows from one chakra to the other, being modified, used and condensed, and finally flows through the acupuncture meridians which, in turn, nourish the internal organs and muscles.A health problem in a certain area of the body is usually associated with a disturbed function of the chakra governing this region. Normalizing and harmonizing our chakra functions is important for the healing of specific aspects as well as for increasing our available energy in general and for becoming whole and balanced.

Functioning like a prism, the chakra system separates the

incoming white etheric light into the seven etheric rainbow

colors. Each color is of special importance for the glands and

organs situated near the corresponding chakra. During meditation

and relaxation exercises you may visualize these glands and

organs bathed in their designated chakra colors (see video

below).

The characteristics of the seven main chakras can be seen from

the following table. In addition, there are many more secondary

chakras, important are especially the spleen chakra, one over

the thymus gland and for energy transfer also those in the palms

of the hands. Furthermore, each of the higher or finer energy

bodies, such as the emotional or astral and the mental body have

their own chakra system with different colors and other

characteristics.

The corresponding chakras in the different bodies are

interconnected. The more we spiritually develop, the greater

becomes the exchange of energy between the different bodies,

generally the energy flowing from the finer to the denser

bodies. An excellent set of books on energy healing, energy

bodies and the chakra systems are Hands of Light and Light

Emerging by Barbara Ann Brennan (Bantam).

You may experiment with two complementary methods of

increasing your energy store. In one you imagine energy entering

through the crown chakra while in the other you imagine that you

retain the prana that you inhale with the air. With some

practice you may even combine both exercises and do them at the

same time. The main rule in all of this is that energy flow

follows our awareness and intentions.

Chakra Exercises

Sit or lie in a relaxed position and focus on one chakra at

each session. Start with the crown chakra or crown center. Keep

your awareness centered at the top of your head until you feel a

light pressure, warmth, tingling or other sensation developing

in that area. Whatever you can feel, intensify it. However, it

is preferable to replace any feeling of pressure with a feeling

of warmth as soon as that can be done in order to avoid an

uncomfortable pressure from building up.

You may also imagine a stream of white light entering the top of

the head or you may visualize an energy vortex in this position.

It spins clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise

in the southern hemisphere. You may combine all or several of

these imaginations and use whatever is most suitable to develop

a feeling awareness of this chakra.

Repeat focusing on the same chakra in subsequent sessions until

you can easily feel its presence. Then move to the forehead

chakra. In addition to trying to feel a light pressure or

warmth, it is helpful to close your eyes and focus them as if

looking at the inside of the center between your brows. You may

also imagine the white light flowing into the top of your head

where it turns violet and then continues to flow into the

forehead center and illuminates it with an indigo color.

With the throat chakra you may use similar imagery but finally

making it a blue color. In addition you may feel the warmth of

your outgoing breath first in your nose and then transfer this

feeling to the throat. Intensify the warmth and combine it with

the blue in a pulsating rhythm.

With the heart chakra also try another method: imagine that your

breath moves in and out the chest through the middle of your

chest bone. You can try this imaginary breathing through skin

and bone also with any of the other chakras, it just is easiest

to learn at the heart center.

In this way also learn to feel the lower chakras, the solar

plexus, the pubic and the base chakra. Imagine the base chakra

as an energy vortex that points to the base of the spine. With

this, the crown vortex and the base vortex are like an hourglass

that is separated by the length of the spine. All the other

chakra vortexes are perpendicular to the spine. For further

information on chakras and energy work see The Love Cure.

Actually the best and safest way of developing the chakra system

is by living appropriately in all life situations with a strong

flow of positive feelings related to the various energy centers.

Storing Prana

To accumulate and store prana from the air, imagine that the

inhaled breath consists of two parts, the physical air molecules

as well as the prana. During inhalation the lungs automatically

separate the prana from the air molecules. You only exhale the

'empty' air while the prana flows to where you lead it with your

conscious attention. The body uses the abdomen with its high

water content as a storage reservoir of excess bio-energy.

To energize the abdomen, you imagine and try to feel the breath

energy moving directly into the abdomen during inhalation. When

exhaling you imagine that you press the energy down so that it

becomes compressed at the bottom of the abdomen. With each

successive breath more compressed energy accumulates until the

target area feels sufficiently energized. You may feel this as

warmth, tingling, pressure or any other sensation.

If you can visualize colors, you may also try to see the energy

being stored as a golden-yellow fluid that gradually fills the

whole abdomen. Initially you may also see it filling the whole

abdomen like a gas with a very faint color that becomes more

intense with each breath. However, it is not enough just to

visualize, it is essential also feeling the energy.

Another important consideration is the actual prana content of

the air that you breathe, especially when doing this for

healing of asthma or related diseases.

You gain the most energy when the air is high in prana, such as

outdoors in natural surroundings on a sunny day. However, most

of the time you will be doing this exercise in far less than

ideal conditions. Nevertheless, do persevere with it while

trying to maximize the prana in your inhaled air by opening

windows, exercising on a sunny day and minimizing negative

elements, such as electromagnetic forces and synthetics in your

room.

In contrast to accumulating prana through breathing, there is no

such restriction when taking in energy through the top of the

head, as this comes from another dimensional level. But as both

energies have different frequencies and complement each other,

it is beneficial to work with both methods.
