Explorations in Energy

Chakras are physio-energetic centers in the body that guide spiritual evolution. In deciding to learn more about chakras, you are following a spiritual impulse to know your essence. You are making a decision to expand your awareness.

 

The chakras have many functions, most of which can be divided into these groupings:

• Sensing

• Anchoring

• Communicating

• Connecting

• Integrating

• Guiding soul evolution

• Metabolizing life-force

• Maintaining multi-dimensional awareness
  (see Multi-dimensions and the Chakras article)

 

Chakra is a Hindu word meaning wheel. Chakras are described as wheel-like vortices that metabolize subtle energy.  In the Hindu system there are seven main chakras residing in the head, neck and torso of the body. They are anchored in the core of the body and positioned along a central line of energy called the Hara line with projections into the aura through both front and back emanations (See Figure The Chakra System). In addition, there are many minor chakras in places such as the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and joints.
 

Your chakras communicate between your inner reality and the outer world. They sense the ambiance and receive energy information in the form of frequency, then translate the information into emotions and body signals your subconscious mind understands. The processed energy information contributes to your intuition. This energy-based chakra system is associated with two physical systems, the neurological and endocrine systems. Information extracted from the ambiance is transmitted through a particular chakra to its own corresponding nerve plexus and endocrine organ, thereby conveying awareness into the bodymind.
 

Chakras are windows to the soul. They communicate your inward life of thoughts and feelings outward into the world. The compilation of who you are is broadcast into the ambiance to become the attractive force that calls forth the circumstances of your life. Your alignment with life-force and the development of your awareness determines how well you overcome challenges and generate opportunity.
 

Each chakra guides a unique aspect of soul development, an expansion of consciousness that corresponds to a specific frequency. The frequency reflects a quality of awareness and character, and generates a particular color, sound, and expression.  Unhealed traumas are stored within the chakra that corresponds to the developmental challenge being experienced. Healing, then, involves integrating the trauma held within a chakra and turning it into a growth event.
 

There are additional chakras to the seven located along the Hara line. These are located above the head and below the torso on the same line as the Hara line.  One is called the Soul or Solar Star and is six to eighteen inches directly above the head. The other is called the Earth Star and is located in the area between the knees. The Soul Star connects with your physical essence in spiritual form. The Earth Star chakra connects to your spiritual essence in physical form. Together, they maintain the balance between matter and spirit that is life
 

The chakras are portals of perception. They are gateways of essential information in becoming a fully functioning human. They are holographic in nature. Each chakra represents a unique vantage point for your total awareness and provides a particular set of skills.  Rather than ascending through degrees of awareness, actualization is the awakening of the entire system. As one chakra grows, all do.
 

In the Body Sounding ™ Chakra Model, energy ascends from Earth through the Earth Star and into the Base chakra, at the same time that it descends through the Soul Star and into the Crown chakra. The two polarities meet in the Heart before continuing to ascend or descend. The Heart chakra is the seat of the soul; the throne of your spiritual essence. The heart is the pivot point between spirit and form, the center of transformation and transcendence. 
 

Emotions generated in the chakras are reflections of your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. They represent how you energetically process life events. Chakras are dynamic, opening with the desire to grow and experience, and closing with the need to integrate or protect. You will certainly function better in some chakras than others, depending in what you are learning and what the situation is. For example, a person might function highly in their Heart chakra when dealing with relationships; yet have a hard time keeping their Heart chakra open when examining business goals
