Chakra in Sanskrit, Indian, means ‘wheel’, Chakras being whirling concentrated energy centres aligned along your spinal column, which receive, assimilate and pass on life force energy (also called ‘ki’, ‘chi’ or ‘prana’ by various ancient civilisations) to all their relevant physical glands, organs and body parts in their designated region via your Meridian lines and Nadis. Chakras are documented as far back by Hindus as 2,500 years BC, who appreciated that activated and balanced Chakras were the key to holistic health and healing.
So far so good, however chakras get sluggish and ineffective at distributing this life sustaining energy when blocked by unexpressed emotions (either positive, as in unexpressed love or negative as in unexpressed anger). emotions. The ancient Chinese expertly linked certain emotions to certain chakras, in brief (and by no means in full):-
RED Root / Mulhadra Chakra (base of trunk) - lack of material abundance, not being ‘grounded’ and sexual issues will cause this chakra to malfunction.
ORANGE Sacral / Svadhisthana Chakra (just bellow belly button) - fear, lack of creativity and parenting issues adversely affects this chakra.
YELLOW Solar Plexus / Manipura Chakra (diaphragm area) - anger, depression, not being in touch with your ‘gut’ feelings incapacitates this Chakra.
GREEN Heart / Anahata Chakra (heart area) - heart ache, shut down love both in giving and receiving, sadness and not listening to your hearts true desires disables this Chakra.
BLUE Throat / Vissudha Chakra (throat region) – not expressing your emotional needs or clearly communicating with others. Not listening or empathising with others.
INDIGO Third Eye / Adjna Chakra (middle of brow) - only works at optimum levels when you’re open to receiving and working with your inner visions.
PURPLE Crown / Sahasara Chakra (crown of head) – lack of ego subjugation for true en-light-enment and connecting with the universal knowledge that all geniuses (Mozart, Einstein, Plato etc) tapped into obstructs this Chakra’s proper functioning.
Many years ago authorities on Meditating stipulated that the chakras spun either clockwise or anticlockwise with regards each chakra or which gender of person was meditating. However, such rules no longer exist, it is up to you, during this meditation, to sense into which way your chakras are spinning (which, if you have been actively putting the past 4 weeks meditative techniques into practise 2-3 times a week, will be easier for you to sense into).
On the Meditation Courses that I run, even in the Beginners Course, you will gain a deeper understanding of how people or situations can either ‘top up’ or deplete your chakras energies, and also, how trauma in your childhood or societal pressure and conformity, can have shut down specific chakras in your body, causing physical dis-ease in that Chakras region. To counteract this, it is good to get conversant with Chakra spinning and clearing meditations, regularly including them in your everyday life.
