Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 hi everyone, there are thoughts that are bothering me for the past few days. im currently into pranic healing. im a little confused on the chackras. according to the western teachings the chackras corresponds to the 7 colors of the rainbow whereas ive read from a book by choa kok sui that the chackras contain different colors and that indigo is rarely found on the chackras.and also he mentioned that there are 11 major chackras. can you advice me anything on how to deal with these conflicting paradimes? how can i reconcile these concepts in healing? thank you!!! ....nanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 There are more than 7 major chakras - in addition to those 7, there are chakras in each hand (lots of debate on this - most agree that there are chakras there, just maybe they are not major chakras), contained within the auric field is another chakra, there is the earthstar chakra 1-3 feet below our feet (usually in the ground but if we lay down then the earthstar follows the feet) and the soulstar chakra 1-3 feet above our head. There is another chakra located at the thymus but there have been a lot of people debating that - from what I'm taught, the thymus is what helps your body develop immunities so I don't see the point in debating the existence of a chakra there and simply operate on the assumption there is - I figure it's better safe than sorry. As well, there are a multitude of minor chakras throughout the body and some people say that they correspond with the same meridians and accupuncture points that chinese doctors use. In regards to colour, I think that every chakra has a predominant colour depending on how well it is functioning - for example, the root chakra is usually visualized as red or resonates with red.... but if the root isn't a happy chakra maybe it is discoloured? This is just my personal theory, and this author you mentioned seems to support what I'd been thinking. As far as indigo is concerned... I'm not too sure. I actually have a hard time visualizing indigo at the third eye - purple works better for me. Which creates a conflict for anyone who believes the crown is purple, but as for me, the crown is always white. This is just what works the best for me. I've seen books that use tan, grey, and black as well, but these books were written from more of a psychoanalytical perspective and I couldn't really tie that into chakra work at the time I saw them. Perhaps if I looked at them now with a little bit more experience under my belt I'd be able to figure it out, but alas, I don't have easy access to them and have long forgotten the titles. ~Susan > > >hi everyone, > > there are thoughts that are bothering me for the past few days. im >currently into pranic healing. im a little confused on the chackras. > > according to the western teachings the chackras corresponds to the >7 colors of the rainbow whereas ive read from a book by choa kok sui >that the chackras contain different colors and that indigo is rarely >found on the chackras.and also he mentioned that there are 11 major >chackras. > > can you advice me anything on how to deal with these conflicting >paradimes? > > > how can i reconcile these concepts in healing? > > thank you!!! > >...nanta > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho there are usually 7 major chakras recognised, there are many more throughout your body, and in particular important for healers, in the palms of your hands. I have been taught, with crystals, to work with 8, with an additional Thymus chakra between throat & heart. I would say, go with what feels most comfortable to you ... including colours ... I often sense different shades/colours in chakras to what the books say; but find if I go with my intuition I usually get it right. in frith crystal & reiki rainbows Hazel Angelstar Crystals - Crystal & Reiki healing; Jewellery & Gifts incorporating crystals & gemstones www.angelstar-crystals.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Here is a bit of info I posted to my group last year, when we were discussing chakras. This pertains specifically to the " ear chakras " . I thought I had written up a summary on the palm chakras too, but can't seem to locate it right now. Forgive me if someone has mentioned this already, but I am guessing that the 11 chakras you mentioned included the palms and soles of the feet, along with the seven " major " chakras? The book I have does not mention the soles of the feet or the palms, but I have seen this discussed elsewhere. Blessings to you & yours, Ahreinya Ear Chakras There are two ear chakras, just above the outer ear. Their color is bright reddish-violet, and they sparkle when cleared. When in need of clearing, they appear dull and dark. The ear chakras relate to divine communication, as well as the things you hear--both bad and good. Clearing these chakras is imperative to developing clairaudience, which is hearing the divine advice given to you by your guide (s), or deity (s), as well as your own etherical spirit. These chakras become clogged, shrunken, and dirty if we hold in negative feelings about something we have heard, be it verbal abuse, criticism, or something else we find offensive. Another instance of needing to be cleared, is if we harbor fear of spiritual communication in the etheric realm, and do not allow ourselves to be completely free, for whatever reason. The ear chakras can be cleared using a good-sized quartz crystal, or through deep meditation and chanting.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hello Nanta, I am taking a Chakra class right now. The teacher has said that there are many different beliefs of how many chakras there are, what colors they are, where they are etc. My teacher is teaching the Parmahansa Yogananda view of chakras. Yogananda's view is that there are actually eight Major and not seven major Chakras. The Third Eye Chakra has an " A " and " B " Chakra. There are many other minor chakras all over the body. I know there are those on the palms of the hands and on the soles of the feet. So like someone mentioned you need to read the different versions and decide which one works the best for you. Also if you meditate, try and tune into your chakras and see and feel what you get from each one of them.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hi again Nanta, I forgot to mention that my teacher said that as we go through life we work on the different chakras, but there is no particular order to which chakras we work on. We work on whichever ones we need to work on at the time for our growth. And we may even just work on a few and not all chakras our entire lives if that is what is required. Of course this is my teacher's own personal belief of the chakra system so just take whatever sounds right for you Kestrel CrystalHealing- workshop , " nanta_theearthmagician " <nanta_theearthmagician> wrote: > > can you advice me anything on how to deal with these conflicting paradimes? thank you!!! > > ...nanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 I also sometimes get impressions of the chakras being different colors. And at other times they are the colors that I usually read about.
