MULADHARA - 3 third letter for this year!

[Guest guest]

For thousands of years, the yogis have identified through their

exceptional spiritual practice seven complex, fundamental systems of

emission-reception, which connect our microcosm with the outer

macrocosm's seven fundamental levels of vibration.

 

These centers of force are usually known as chakras. In the following,

we introduce you to the essential characteristics of each chakra, as

well as their area of projection in the physical body.

 

 

1. First of the seven chakras, Muladhara chakra lies at the base of

the spine, in the area between anus and sex.

 

This center of force symbolizes the objective consciousness, the

awareness in the physical, terrestrial universe.

 

On a psychical level, it controls the will of survival, the state of

inner safety, the desire for material goods, and the choice of profession.

 

The physical function characteristic to this center of force is

excretion, and the correspondent areas are the anus, the intestine,

the muscular system and the adipose tissue.

 

When the energies characteristic to Muladhara chakra lack balance in

respect with the other types of energies, the person in cause will be

quite pragmatic, and may even lead to an irrational exhaustion of

one's vital resources.

 

" The person who experiences the activation of this center of force

easily succeeds in overcoming the attachment for earthly matters and

becoming highly courageous, defeats for good his/her fear of death.

The concentration and meditation on Muladhara chakra leads to the

knowledge of this chakra and of the means of awakening it. "

(Swami Shivananda)
