What are Your Chakras and What Can They Do For You

Chakras are wheels of energy that are located along your physical spine. Like your nerves and blood vessels feed your physical body, your chakras feed your energetic body. For them to do this efficiently they should be aligned and free spinning. You keep them that way by your awareness of them and how they feel when they are misaligned or blocked.

What misalignes them? Stress is the biggest factor. You hear of “good stress” and “bad stress” but the truth of the matter is that stress is stress, there is no good or bad. Your idea and notion about whether it is good or bad can and does add to the intensity so you may want to consider changing you paradigm around this subject. A neutral attitude about stress will make it easier for you to detach your emotions about  the subject that is stressing you and allow you to calm down, thus helping lower the stress.

As you learn more about these wonderful things in your body/mind system the more fascinating they become. They can let you know something is amiss before you feel bad or sick. They can give you guidance about whether a food or product is beneficial to you before you buy it. As you become more adept at using your energetic system you will be able to make better judgments and choices that impact your life.

In this series of articles, I will tell you a bit about each chakra area, what it affects and other information about it. The series will begin with the first chakra and rise to the seventh. To get you started, I have compiled a list of  them with some of their lesser known attributes.

THE 2012 SHIFT; WHAT’S GOING ON? MY TWO CENTS WORTH

THE 2012 SHIFT; WHAT’S GOING ON? MY TWO CENTS WORTH

“Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change; the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw be.” (Samuel Johnson, English poet, critic and writer)

“Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.” (Aristotle, ancient Greek philosopher)

I get asked about this 2012 shift all of the time. I have done extensive reading about and listening to different ideas about this most interesting subject and have seen every thing from aliens coming to help/take over to the total end of everything BUT… I have the feeling that it is something else.

Maybe this is just the next stage of life. Maybe it is our wake up call to become more in tune with the planet on which we depend for ABSOUTLEY EVERYTHING and with each other. If we are not in vibrational harmony with either ourselves as the human animal and the other life forms that share our home, and we systematically destroy where we are living, something will change (probably not for the better). The planet, our home, is a living, breathing, changing being. It is older that we are and has existed in harmony with itself for a long time. Then we come along and start ‘improving’ things to our supposed benefit. Think about the building in which you live; if you don’t maintain it, vibrate with it, love it what happens? OK now taking that one step further, if you were actively tearing down the walls to build something else, using its resources to the detriment of the structure and foundation, how long would you have a place to live? Well, what have we done to our sustaining earth?

If we are not in vibrational harmony with the energies around us we will continue to rape and deconstruct our very habitat, as we’ve already done that to species after species, and are now doing to ourselves, causing us be blindsided by any change that happens. Everything is energy and so is constantly moving, changing, ebbing and flowing. If you try to not be in this energy flow, to stop it, hold it in stasis, to be out of harmony with it you live in chaos, pain and confusion and quite possibly destruction within both your world and your personal energy field(s).

OK, fine, what can we do to ‘go with the flow’? Have you ever heard of the “7Ps”? It is a business term I learned many years ago that seems appropriate here. “Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance.” So, 1) tune into the energies around and within you. Do everything you can to live ‘green’ It may be too little too late but if we don’t start, nothing will be accomplished. Recycle, reduce, support appropriate legislature etc. 2) Get ready. Develop your conscious awareness and have a real, solid belief system. Plant, nourish both yourself and your planet. 3) Cleanse your self, energetically and spiritually. Connect with your light body. Live cleanly with a lowered impact on the earth. How long can you stand to be abused? Then why ask it of your home? 4) Integrate your body, mind and spirit and awareness, and 5) Rid yourself of fear, all of it. Don’t anticipate bad things; step out in love and trust.

In actuality the shift has already started and there are those among us who have been charged by their Guidance to become the light workers, guides, gatekeepers, and spiritual leaders (notice I did not say religious) to step into the role of beacons to show the way. The ones who have been saying, “Wake up and see how we are abusing our resources!” were some of the first and for the most part, we didn’t listen, maybe now is a good time?

Now this is a fact that I find most wonderful; Conscious Awareness of the shift is spontaneously happening and growing. As more and more of us wake up and reconnect to Source energy (the energy of the divine, soul to soul, life to planet) we are creating a harmonic resonance that spreads across the planet and universe. People are trying harder to work with rather than against Nature. Because like attracts like, this new resonance pulls the shifting energy closer to the enlightened who are raising their vibrations higher and faster in order to meet and join with the new energy. Blending our personal vibrations with what is changing, vibrating over, under, around and through our existence and our planet, we find that, much like floating down a river, we become one with the change. If on the other hand we choose to fight against the energetic flow, we will find the disastrous results that we were afraid of in the first place. (Because of lower, fear-filled vibrations that do not fit within the shift)

When we change our thoughts, perceptions, attitudes and open ourselves to new patterns, information and ways of thinking about what we encounter daily, we begin to change, become aware of damage that we create both to ourselves and our earth. Things around us begin to change. We become more and more aware of the things that raise us, enlighten us, feed us and lift us to what some call unconditional love; the love of the forth chakra; the love that unites all things with all things; the love which is Source Energy. This is the energy that is shifting and so, by vibrating with it, we shift too, easily, effortlessly, spontaneously; all without fear, resistance or catastrophe.

As I close I leave you with enlightenment, raised vibrations, new awareness, love and bright blessings. Chessie

CHAKRA SIX (THIRD EYE)

Chakra six is located at your carotid plexus nerve ganglion. This is between your eyebrows and just a little above them. The elemental correspondence here is light because it is here that your conscious meets you unconscious and you start to become aware, were you begin to truly see and begin to become truly aware.  The color here is indigo and the root Sanskrit word means “to know, to command” and this is where you begin to perceive and learn to translate and process all visual input. You learn to use your ESP (that little voice that tells you to do or not to do something)  and where where you refine your imagination.

You discover that you have a greater access to the Universal “well of wisdom” and learn to be comfortable accepting information based on faith and intuition rather than on charts and graphs. You realize that intuition just is...there is no right or wrong, no logical or illogical.

If maturation, healing and growth have occurred you know and understand the balance of all things; light and dark, yin and yang, want and need. You can see, without prejudice, things as they really are. You see beyond the limits of either / or and you see that you have infinite choices.

You know you are out of balance if you are too influenced by the psychic realm. If your energy is too high you come across as disconnected or spacey. If you energy is too low, you will be narrow minded, uncomfortable with challenges and have tunnel vision.

At chakra six you will be able to access other information and see how everything comes from ancient wisdom. The important thing here in how well you see, not just what you see. You can look as well as see. As you open here you realize how much you truly do see.

When you are in balance you will use your new information and innate wisdom to raise your vibrations in order to be able to make decisions with your new mind-stream and informed visualizations. With them you will be able to make a positive and informed choices that will have an impact on your surroundings rather than making choices from fear and ego. Because of this ability and view point you uplift the quality of life for yourself and others. You know you are in balance when you can process and translate you visual and intuitive information and use it correctly and effectively.

The goal of your sixth chakra is to suspend your personal perceptions so that you are able to allow yourself to to envision those of another in order to understand what others see. It is also the goal here to realize self clarity so that you are closer to being completely conscious and totally aware.

TO RECAP;
chakra six is located between your eyebrows, your carotid plexus (c1-2)
it is your connection to the Universe and your intuitive wisdom
your personal insight
you now see the deepest beauty and truth in all things
where your conscious meets your unconscious

IN YOUR PHYSICALITY;
regulates your hormones and physiology
chakra six controls your brain, your left eye, your nervous system and your ears, pineal and pituitary glands

ISSUES HERE:
intuition, wisdom, creative intelligence
the meeting of your conscious and your unconscious can be VERY unsettling
learning to use your imagination, insight and other information in a positive and uplifting manner.
Feelings of narrow mindedness or spacey-ness

BLOCKED BY the illusion of separateness

UNBLOCKED BY accepting the cosmic truth that all is one.

CHAKRA FIVE (THROAT)

Chakra five is located at your pharyngeal plexus and is your place of self expression. Its elemental correspondence is ether but here I will use sound because the vocal apparatus is in its pervue. The color is bright blue. The Sanskrit root word means to purify.

The job here is communication; both verbal and nonverbal. At this level you begin to exercise your creativity in your communication skills. This include effective listening. Effective listening is to consciously and with awareness, pay attention to what the other person is saying to you, to really hear them. You also realize that each person comes at life from their own personal experiences of life and that their experiences are not the same as yours.

This is where you realize that communication is actually an extension of consciousness. You use sound, rhythm and vibrations to form words. Communication is a connecting principal that makes life as you know it possible. Just as your body uses DNA and nerve impulses, and your brain uses chemicals and hormones to operate the microcosm of your body,  broadcast waves join the global community into a functioning unit of information. Correct and conscious communication, both within and without, is crucial to your well being and understanding of life.

When you are out of balance in your fifth chakra you will talk too much or too little, you will not listen to others, you seem arrogant and self righteous and you have no use for the opinions of  those around you.

Words are your most powerful tools. With the great power to use them comes the great responsibility of that use. If you give  out incorrect information, you can do damage. Do you remember the gossip game from when you were a child? Someone would whisper a statement to the person next to them and the participants would repeat what they thought they heard and the results were usually funny. Not so in life so keep this in mind and think before you speak.

When you are in balance here, you are considered thoughtful in your communications, you are able to express your needs and desires without being demeaning or whiny. You can express your truth without hurting others and without shame or fear. You know you are in balance when you can truly hear another person and express your truth without judgment or shame.

The goal of chakra five is to communicate ideas and abstract concepts in a way that is easily understood by others; to give out information that can manifest creations on a physical plane so to give order to your universe.

TO RECAP;
located at your throat, your pharyngeal plexus (C3-7)
it is your self expression
your ability to communicate your heart's truth
you ability to communicate your core values
it is the bridge that connects your intellect with your senses

IN YOUR PHYSICALITY;
you thyroid/parathyroid
metabolism and calcium regulation
this chakra holds your vocal and bronchial apparatus; lungs; ears; hands; ears; arms; neck; bones and teeth

ISSUES OF THIS CHAKRA; your expression and communication of your own creativity, needs and desires, your personal integrity, and you ability to actively listen and understand and your non-verbal communications.

BLOCKED; by lies you tell yourself

UNBLOCKED; by being OK with yourself as you are, your ability to change what YOU feel you want to change and to genuinely love yourself.

CHAKRA FOUR (HEART)

Chakra four  is located at your heart. Just as your cardiac plexus nerve ganglion feeds your physical heart, your forth chakra feeds you energetic/spiritual heart. The elemental correspondence here is air. This is because movement from physicality and manifestation into more esoteric areas of spirit occur here at the midpoint in your chakra spectrum.

This is the point where your lower three (1,2 &3) chakras rise to meet your upper three (5,6 &7) chakras to become tempered and balanced. Here is where you achieve a feeling of wholeness and balance. With this balance a radiance begins to shines out to all around you. This radiance creates a  permanence and magnifies it so that it permeates all existence.

The color here is green and the Sanskrit root-word means “sound made without any 2 things striking”, “unstruck” “fresh” “clean”

The job of your fourth chakra is to create the binding force of love. This comes from the logical progression of mass at chakra 1 + movement at chakra 2 = attraction at chakra 3 that creates love. Not a love driven by need, want or manipulation, but the free, joyous acceptance of your self and of all things. Your ability to see people moving in harmony with one another is reflected in this type of love. This love can allow others to grow at their own rate, it then allows you to reach out to others without losing your center or judging others by your standards. When you can see all occurrences as your “next best thing”through the unconditional love of the fourth chakra, you will feel bliss.

If you are not in balance here you will be judgmental and manipulative, you will attempt to control others and the subjugation of another's truth is important to you. You want to make/force them to see things your way.

When you can learn to take all things less seriously, just know yourself without letting another take your power, you will begin to see the difference between “control of” and “control over.” Your balance here means the tempering of your lower chakras with the unconditional love of chakra four.  You will begin seeing changes in beautiful ways. You know you are in balance when you no longer feel the pull of the lower chakras and realize you create your own reality and that you can and do influence others.

The goal of chakra four is to realize unconditional love for others and your self, to exercise tolerance and balance within your body, mind, spirit system, to realize the divine paradox that what seems very small is really very large and what seems to be very large is really very small, and to allow things to be what they are.

RECAP;
located at your heart-cardiac plexus (T1-5) ,is your bridge between imminent and transcendent spirit and love
is your ability to share love and life with others.

PHYSICALITY: Blood pressure and circulatory system, hands, arms and shoulders, it is your Electromagnetic Field Generator, and your immune system

ISSUES: consideration of others, empathy for others, the linking of your intellectual and spiritual selves, how to use your will, your ability to direct love to yourself and to others, your inner peace, your ability to give and receive love

BLOCKED BY : grief

UNBLOCKED BY: accepting  that love is energy that is always around you and is never lost. This is  because it is always born again as new loves.

CHAKRA THREE (SOLAR PLEXUS)

Chakra three is located between your sternum and your navel, at your solar plexus and it is called the seat of your will. This is where your body handles combustion and metabolism. The elemental correspondence is fire. Fire transforms matter (chakra 1) and movement (chakra2) to action energy and power (new state) in chakra three. The color that vibrates here is a bright sunny yellow and the Sanskrit word means lustrous gem.

The job of this chakra is to develop your power to stand by your convictions and forge unique states of existence. It does this because of the how it acts on chakras 1 and 2 to raise their energies into new dimensions. This action causes changes within you. Much like wood (matter), when acted upon by movement/heat,  is transformed into a new substance, in this case ash.

 Here is where your inner critic lives and it will often times yell at you, making you either doubt your self or feel very confident. Here is your self worth, your self reliance. This is where your seat of personal power is developed. Your focus changes once again from just you and one other to become more open to the opinions and points of view of others. It is at this level you also begin examine different power concepts and you learn the difference between the “power to” and the “power over”.

If you are out of balance here you may be overly sensitive about perceived reactions of others, you may appear indifferent or cold, you may feel you need the opinions of others to support your ideas. You may be over critical of yourself; feel inadequate, have a feeling of self loathing or you may feel unworthy of love. Your inner self is attentive and believes everything both positive and negative, it has no filters so your body reacts instantly to all criticism, both good and bad. This is not good for you.

When you are in balance  in chakra three, you can accept the responsibilities that are truly yours, you are confident in your own actions and abilities, you can chose how you maintain your course of action and you do NOT need the approval of others. You have courage and strength to be truly who and what you are. You can act without overpowering others or allowing them to overpower you.

The goal here is to create a new understanding of the viewpoints of others, collect new information that will bring you dawning enlightenment and shifting paradigms. Here is where you learn the importance of balance. You become aware of the larger patterns of universal consciousness. You become aware of  the how the combining of your mind and action that are driven by your conscious aware choices create your will. You will be able to stop undesired actions and create new and better ones by making better choices.

TO RECAP:
located between your sternum and navel at your solar plexus ( T5-T9 Solar Plexus)
It is your solar power, your uniqueness,  your I AM, the seat of your will

PHYSICALITY:
Pancreas
controls your digestive system, your middle spine, assimilation and muscles.

ISSUES:
personal power (where do you allow it to be?) Your sense of your place in the world, your self confidence, your self esteem and your ability to stand by your convictions.

BLOCKED BY: shame and disappointment in your self

UNBLOCKED BY:  accepting your shortcomings and forgiving yourself
