The Seven Chakra’s
Chakras are major centers of both electromagnetic activity and vital energy and are recognized in indigenous cultures all over the world. In the Huna tradition of Hawaii they are called Auw centers; and in the Kabbalah they are called the Tree Of Life centers. In the Taoist Chinese traditions the term is Dantien, and in the yogic theory they are called Chakras. -William Collinge

The word Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disk. Sometimes the Chakra’s are also referred to as the wheel of Life. As humans we all have 7 major Chakra’s which emanate from the 7 major nerve ganglia and branch forward from the spinal column. These 7 major Chakra’s influence our subtle or energy body’s as well as our physical bodies. We also have 4 main currents of energy running through our bodies amongst the thousands that exist within the Cosmic plane!
When we make the decision to go on this amazing Chakra Journey it is very important to asses our Chakras. In order to balance our Chakra system we must become aware of each Chakra. In essence it is time to mirror reflect. We must take the time to recognize each Chakra asking ourselves if this Chakra is in excess or if it is deficient. Sometimes we find that while one Chakra might be in excess having too much energy sending that Chakra into over-drive another Chakra might be deficient not having enough energy making those qualities of a particular Chakra weak or having lack of power. By the way, don’t be surprised if you find that you have a Chakra that is both excessive and deficient. After taking the time to asses each Chakra and understand if it is in excess, deficient or balanced [hey; that could happen too...] then we are able apply various yogic techniques, philosophies and wisdoms to help bring each Chakra into complete Balance
~One Chakra at a time.
Within the Chakra System we find 4 currents of energy. These currents are liberation, manifestation, reception and expression. As we start clearing and balancing our Chakras, one by one from the ground up and we start the liberation process. We liberate all of our ideas, we liberate Our Selves from restricting thought patterns and compulsive behaviors and we start our Journey into awareness and living a Life of wholeness and Balance. This doesn’t mean that we have to restrict our Lives of pleasure but, to find that harmonious space to live our Lives in
LOVE ~ FREEDOM ~ BLISS
The current of liberation is the upward current which allows us to gain higher levels of awareness, not only about ourselves and everything around us, but we also gain an awareness about others, our Planet and the Divine. This liberating current allows us to recognize and release compulsive behavior patterns and or negative behavior patterns that either is harming to the Self, those around us, the planet and the Universe. This current also gives us the opportunity to open our minds to new possibilities to live a healthier lifestyle, new carriers opportunities and new and positive ways of seeing Life. In Sanskrit this process is called mukti. And of course…
As Above, So Below!
Once the liberation pathway is cleared, we move into the manifestation current of energy clearing that pathway from consciousness at the crown of the head all the way back down back to ground. This process is called bukti and it allows us to manifest all of our ideas and dreams since we have cleared the restricting patterns that we became aware of and worked on through the process of liberation . The current of manifestation is the downward current that comes from the Cosmic the seeds we planted, things we expressed and wished for as we balanced our liberating current. This is the current that allows us to manifest our ideas and dreams and making them a reality on the Earth plane. Once we have grasped the currents of energy, visible and invisible this is when we should become aware of our environment, our thoughts, our actions and reactions and pay close attention to the things we see mirroring to us in our Lives. These currents of energy that we vibrate are very important on our Journey when we decide to balance our Chakras System.
The next 2 currents are reception and expression. Reception is the way we perceive Life, how we receive others and how we absorb various situations in our Lives. Expression on the other hand is the way we express ourselves to others, this is beautiful because this is the opportunity we have to express our true authentic Self. On a day to day basis we come into contact with different people, different personalities, different situations, and different vibrations. We constantly express ourselves giving energy to others as well as receiving energy from those around us.
This is the exchange of Vibration that happens on a human level and the exchange of vibration that happens on a Cosmic level.
Locating Our Chakra’s
At the base of the spine we find Chakra 1 or Muladhara which literally means root support. This Chakra when Balanced makes us grounded, safe and secure, This Chakra is our foundation. Just above this illuminated jewel we find Chakra 2 Svadisthana which mean’s one’s own place. This Chakra is placed just below the navel at the center of our reproductive organs and is represented by the element of water. This energy center is connected with our emotions and our desire’s, this Chakra rules our sexuality, sensuality and pleasure’s of life. [I Love Life; don't you!] and when this Chakra is in Balance we are able to live our Lives in the Flow… The 3rd Chakra Manipura is the power center of our being; it is an illuminated bright yellow disc bursting with the flame’s of will, courage and discipline. This Chakra is represented by the element of fire. At the center of all things and beings and the connecting the lower and upper Chakras is Anahata meaning unstruck or unhurt. This Chakra is gracefully found at the heart center and represents the sacred garden of our Souls. Moving into the upper Chakras we find the sounds of creation. Chakra 5 Visuddha is found in the throat and represents sound, vibration and purification. Moving right between the eyebrows in between the front and back of the head we find Chakra 6 Ajna. This Chakra represents Intuition, Insight and Light. This Chakra allows us to perceive and to command. Finally, we move to the crown of the head Chakra 7 Sahastradah; this energy center when it is balanced allows us to live in perfect harmony with the Divine, ourselves, others and to flow through life with Love, Respect, and non-attachment.
The 4 main currents of energy; liberation, manifestation, expression and reception are vortexes of energy which receive, assimilate and express our life force energy. They give us drive and motivation to accomplish goals, some keep us grounded, safe and secure; while others give us intuition and insight. Each Chakra that travels along the illuminated path of the shushuma. Each Chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple yet specific functions, distinguishing characteristics, an element, a sound and an aspect of our consciousness.

Mirror Reflecting Affirmation #1:
When I Look into the Window of your Soul all I see the essence of Love…
Once the Chakras are Balanced and fine tuned this is when we are able to enjoy the pleasures of all the liberating ideas that we start manifesting on the earth plane. We start interacting with our Selves [everything starts with the Self] with family and friends even with the people we work with or go to school with, a deeper awareness of Love and Individual Freedom. During this process we receive information such as people’s ideas and values, their Love and Respect, and we receive wisdom and information from the Cosmic in the form of messages and images.
Taking the Time to Balance Our Chakra’s will elevate our Individual Vibration; the way we talk and interact with people, the way in which we share our creative ideas, the way we express our Love for humanity, Ourselves, Life, the Cosmic and The entire Manifested Creation…

Chakras are centers of spiritual energy. This energy is called Prana or life force. Each Chakra contains a definite number of nadis and these nadis possess a tone or vibration. The Chakra centers circulate Pranic energy and energy is activated through these centers. Each chakra sends energy to the particular part ofthe physical body and correspondingly, the mental body too. Prana is a link between the gross body and subtle or Astral body.

Vital energy is energy of a spiritual origin with such a high vibratory rate that at present it cannot be measured by any instrument. We, and every other living thing on the planet, receive this energy through the medium of the air. It is the energy that endows life.~ The Rosicrucians A.M.O.R.C
