Understanding your chakras

 

 

Before we go any further in trying to understand our blocks, let us

identify the seven major chakras. In ascending order, then, here they

are:

1. The root chakra. This one is located between the legs. The root

chakra is the storehouse of all our root beliefs and survival issues.

This is our creative center

2. The sacral chakra, located about three finger breadths down from

the navel. The sacral chakra is where we look when we have trouble

with one-on-one relationships, with issues of our sexuality. This is

our sex center

3. The solar plexus chakra, located at the sternum, is the chakra

concerned with true inner power. This is our power center

4. The heart chakra, located in the center of the chest, in the area

of the heart. It is concerned with matters of unconditional love and

compassion and forgiveness. This is our love and forgiveness center

5. The throat chakra. Located at the throat, his is where our truth

resides, This is also from where we communicate with the world. This

is our truth and clarity of communication center.

6. The third eye chakra. This is located slightly above the center of

the eyebrows, in the center of the forehead. This is where our Will

resides.

7. The crown chakra, located slightly above the crown of our head.

This is a highly spiritual center.

The first three chakras, the root, the sacral, and the solar plexus,

are known as the chakras of the material consciousness. The major

wars of this world are fought, not on battlefields, but in the sacral

and the solar plexus centers of human beings. These three chakras

almost rule your life for you, through the beliefs carried in your

root chakra. What are these beliefs, then?

Let us start with survival issues which make up a major part of what

I call root beliefs. Survival issues are those of security –

financial security – the ability to provide for one's self, and

possibly for one's loved ones, the ability to live in a society as

part of a group, the ability to age gracefully, without the fear of

old age or of death. Root beliefs are those beliefs which have

been " programmed " into us since early childhood. A moment's thought

will tell us that our survival issues are controlled by our root

beliefs. How have these beliefs been programmed into us? And by whom?

The " whom " is answered very simply : by figures of authority – our

parents, our teachers, the elders in our society, whose rules society

lives by. From childhood we hear statements of group beliefs. Our

elders, our figures of authority, all keep repeating to us statements

of sociological issues, for example, how old you should be when you

get married, or when you have your children… all these sociological

beliefs we have an overwhelming and constant influence over our

entire lives. Most of the time, we are not even consciously aware of

it, but we project ourselves in our lives most definitely through

these root beliefs.

Get into a comfortable position of your choice. Breathe seamlessly

through both nostrils at the same time while expanding and

contracting your belly. Allow your mind to become completely still

and empty. Look down inside yourself.

 

Picture a ball of energy below your navel. Sink the ball behind and

below your genitals. Pull it across your rectum. Tighten your

rectum and push it up your spine. Hold the spine as erect as

possible with the shoulders back and down, which lifts the front of

the rib cage. As you inhale bring the energy up over your head. Be

careful to keep your head slightly bowed with your chin tucked and

your tongue against the roof of your mouth.

 

As you exhale let the energy fall down the front of your body back to

a point below your navel. Repeat with each cycle of breath for as

long as you are able to sustain your sitting posture and state of no

mind. If you cannot feel energy moving, just pretend that you can

and imagine the process as it's described.

 

The above exercise is usually referred to as " Microcosmic Orbit " .

 

Do this every day, morning and night, for at leaste twenty minutes

until you can feel the energy moving. Always begin your practice by

running the Secret Smile. You want your body to be very happy; that

way your hormonal system will cooperate.

 

Once you can feel the energy moving, picture balls of energy at the

soles of your feet. As you inhale, draw that energy up to mix with

the first ball at the base of your spine and draw it over your head.

 

Your hands should lie together in your lap if you are sitting, or if

standing, hold them in front of you as if you were hugging a tree

with your elbows below your hands. As you exhale run the energy down

to your fingers and feet. Observe the colors behind the eyes.

Whenever you get light shades of yellow, green, violet, blue, or

white, attempt to increase their brightness. Experiment with moving

the energy around and inside your body. Roll your eyes as you

breathe and pay attention to what happens.
