Your chakras are known as the 7 wonders of the soul. They are in essence, our Spirit and our energetic vital life force that is inside of each one of us. Chakra means "spinning wheel of light", and that is exactly what they are. The 7 chakras are centrally located in our bodies and they are right where each of the 7 nerve bundles are physically creating in these amazing human bodies that we survive in! Learning about the chakras is like learning how to drive a car, it is a must! If you sit down inside a car, it does not start up for you and start driving down the street. Also, if your car runs out of gas, it does not automatically refuel up either! You have to pull over, turn off the ignition switch and then refuel your car to keep going. The same is for your physical body that your spirit is residing in during this "lifetime". You must tune up your engine, refill it with gas, and clean it off when it gets dirty. Think of your body as a car, and ask yourself, how much do you cleanse and refuel your tank to run every day? In the computer analogy, the chakras can be thought of as programs on a floppy disk, installed into our hardware, which influence the flow of the life force. We each have several programs installed: a survival program that tells us when to eat or rest; a sexual program with our morals and preferences; a relationship program that tells us how to relate to others; a language program; as well as an immense body of data that we have acquired over the years. Unfortunately, we all have bugs in our programs. Some of us lack imagination, others have trouble concentrating or struggling financially. Perhaps our relationships fail, or we have health problems or emotional turmoil. In working through the chakra system, the "user" (consciousness itself) creates new and better programs, making changes in our bodies through yoga, exercise, diet, and healing our illnesses. When we work mind and body together, the basic tasks of life flow more smoothly and enjoyably. Information on the chakra system far predates our technological society. Its ancient roots originated in India and traveled to the West through the philosophies of yoga. Yoga is a word that literally means yoke or union and describes a system of practices and philosophies designed to yoke the individual with the divine. In many ways, the chakra system is the structural aspect of that yoke, as the chakras are stepping stones along the central channel that connects heaven and earth, mind and body, spirit and matter. This yoke runs through the core of each of us and links our mortal selves to the divine energy of consciousness. |
