Chakras are energy centers in the body. From the Sanskrit phrase meaning
“spinning wheel,” these centers can be viewed and healed psychically.
Corresponding to the endocrine system, the chakras align in a column from the
base of the spine to above the head. There are also chakras outside the body
that feed into the main tributaries of energy we bring into our bodies.
Chakras are information processing centers, collecting and releasing data like
compact discs. They take in energy and information from the world, fill up with
data, and also send data out into the world. In this way, our chakras retrieve
relevant information from our experiences and then transmit who we are
vibrationally to the world. At the same time, our chakras can be felt as purely
energy centers. Just like a gas stove, these “burners” supply us with energy and
information at all times.
You are constantly updating who you are. For instance, you may not have
experience with Salsa dancing. One night you try it and find you like it. You then
“update” the old picture of yourself and begin transmitting a new picture of being a
“salsa dancer.” Where this picture is stored in the energy system determines it's
effect on you. For example, the third chakra deals with personal power and
emotional self image. If you felt awkward about yourself as a dancer, the picture
was stored there. But, the picture could also be stored in our 6th center, as a
concept (without emotion). Once we gather new experience, we will update the
picture where it is located .
Each chakra supplies us with a unique vibration. The quality of energy is
determined by the part of us it is responsible for. For example, the root chakra
maintains our physical body’s needs, whereas the heart chakra connects us to our
affinity for others and the world around us.
When a chakra becomes damaged, it may burn too hot, or begin to leak energy.
This causes an imbalance in the area the chakra is responsible for maintaining in
the body/mind system of spiritual energy. Then that area is compromised. There
are various healing techniques which can assist you to re-balance your chakras.
An intuitive reading on your chakras reveals who you are potently and how to
actualize more of your potential by shifting the pictures you have stored in your
energy centers. A chakra healing is a very powerful way to make changes in who
you are.
