The Study of Chakras

STUDY OF THE CHAKRAS

The word ‘chakra’ is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’. If we were able to see the chakras (as many psychics, in fact, do) we would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Clairvoyants perceive chakras as colorful wheels or flowers with a hub in the center. The chakras begin at the base of the spine and finish over the top of the head. Though fixed in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and back of the body, and work through it.

Each chakra vibrates and rotates at different speeds. The root or first chakra rotates at the slowest speed, the crown or seventh chakra at the highest. Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary color, and a range of gemstones for specific uses. The chakra colors are of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The size and brightness of the wheels vary with individual development, physical condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.

Who was Buddha?

In about the sixth century B.C. Siddhartha Gautama was born into a royal family. When he was a young adult his experiences with the outside world drove him to seek out a greater understanding of life and spiritual fulfillment.

Through seeking guidance and meditation, Siddhartha achieved Enlightenment. From that point, he was known as the Buddha, which means ‘Enlightened One’. For the rest of his life, the Buddha traveled great distances teaching people about one path to salvation.

The Four Sights

Soon Siddhartha became disillusioned with the palace life and wanted to see the outside world. He made four trips outside the palace and saw four things that changed his life. On the first three trips, he saw sickness, old age and death. He asked himself, “How can I enjoy a life of pleasure when there is so much suffering in the world?”

On his fourth trip, he saw a wandering monk who had given up everything he owned to seek an end to suffering. “I shall be like him.” Siddhartha thought.

The Energy of Food

Eating Orange – 2nd Chakra Foods

I came across this article and thought I would share.

We know that foods carry vibrational patterns, just like people. The phytonutrients, biophotons and cultivate signature all play a role in creating the vibration.

We know the color associated with the second chakra is orange. Orange foods include oranges, mangoes, cantaloupes, apricots, pumpkins, carrots and peppers. These foods have been shown to help repair damaged DNA, protect against cancer, and lower incidents of stroke and asthma. As Energy Medicine Practitioners, the cultivate signature is our primary concern. Let us think about some of the foods mentioned above and the properties of their cultivate signature, as it relates to the second chakra.

An orange has numerous seeds (traditionally), derives from a single ovary and is covered by a thick, pebbled rind. Just inside that rind is pith, a white fibrous material which holds the sections of fruit together. Oranges are usually grafted – trees are not grown from seed. A rootstock is grown from seed and then what is called budwood is grafted onto the rootstock. The budwood determines the variety of orange. We see energetic similarities to people here, as the creativity of the sacral chakra cannot occur if the first chakra (root) is not strong.

Herbal Bath Teas

Herbal bathing is a simple practice that has many healing benefits.

Steeping your body in a bathtub full of medicinal leaves and flowers is more than pampering; it is preventive medicine that washes away stress and tension. Many herbal constituents can be absorbed through the skin and taking the time out to lie down in the bathtub is healing in itself.

Herbal bathing can help to calm the mind, lift the spirits, reduce stress, relax sore muscles, increase circulation, promote mental clarity, and help the body to release toxins. It is a known fact that warm water can help ease the tension away.

Bathing is more than getting the dirt off; it is a ritual with water. We bath for spiritual purification and to calm our minds and relax. Our water rituals are enhanced as we bring in the medicinal and spiritual properties of the herbs.

So What Is A Chakra?

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed.

These chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system. The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us.

The chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus. Thus, each chakra can be associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland associated with that chakra.

All of your senses, all of your perceptions, all of your possible states of awareness, everything it is possible for you to experience, can be divided into seven categories. Each category can be associated with a particular chakra. Thus, the chakras represent not only particular parts of your physical body, but also particular parts of your consciousness.

How Can Energy Medicine Help You?

Why would Dr. Oz, probably the most well-known medical doctor in America say, “The next big frontier in medicine is Energy Medicine”? Because most of our daily dis-ease can be attributed to our lack of ability to handle the stress’s we face.

Energy Medicine, such as “Energy Healing” or “Healing Touch”, can remove the blocks to your well-being that are created by stress. This allows you to harvest all the good things that are ripe and ready for you. But you may ask, “How does that work?”

Daily stress’s create emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual reactions in our body/mind complex. Your subconscious mind makes judgements about events and thoughts you have and records these judgements to use as a reference in future situations.
