Chakras and Meditation
Chakra’s, Sanskrit for the word vortex or wheel, are the energy centers in our bodies. They correspond to the nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body which affects our emotional and physical being. Research says that there are 114 different chakras but there are a major seven of which we work with mostly. These energy centers are located along the spine from the base to the top of our head.
They are not physical in nature but exist on an energy level similar to our auric field but not as dense. The endocrine and nervous system are connected to each of the chakras known as the plexus. What you perceive and experience relates to one of the chakras. If you are stressed out it is recorded in one of the corresponding chakras. Which is then detected by the nerves of the plexus and then transmitted to that part of the body which the plexus controls. If this is continued, then physical symptoms will appear.
Once it appears the physical body will acknowledge this and if it is not healed it will react with physical ailments. When we understand what is happening, we can begin the healing process. Hopefully before the physical symptoms appear.
When working with chakras, surround yourself with the color you are working on. You can use anything. For example: red socks, orange T-shirt, yellow roses, green underwear, blue bandana, purple post-it's, or even eat white foods. When you know you need to ground then eat some red foods. Anything that works for you. Also, if a color keeps showing itself to you then check out your chakras and see there has been something bothering you and act accordingly.
Feel out how your chakras are turning. If it is turning inward and you have been around negative people, you are bringing that energy into you. It's time to go to work and get that negativity out of you. See it spinning out and a good meditation could help a lot. Feel it out!
