To begin our quest to defer the aging process, we must first define what it means to clean spiritual closets and why it's important to our ultimate goal of higher consciousness. Here's my reasoning: If, as Easterners say, the way to enlightenment is to transcend the body, and this process allows us to co-create our health, then we need a way of communicating with this other "part" of ourselves. We need a medium, if you will, between the Real and Ethereal.
Enter our seven major energy centers.
Although there is much to learn about each energy center or "chakra" and how the can be the key to our higher learning, the information is somewhat complex. In this article then, my focus is only to give you a brief overview of the chakras, in effort to increase your awareness of them. What follows includes their name, color and main function of each chakra when in it's happy balanced state.
Keep in mind as you read, the premise: Each center corresponds to our "piece" of the greater universal energy. Thus, the idea is to balance each in effort to draw or link the energy from the core of the earth, channel it through our body and link it with the energy of the All of everything.
1.) Root Chakra - This is our "root" or base. Its color is crimson and it represents grounding, connection to nature, our family, foundation and balance. When balanced it includes the positive attributes of stability, security and self esteem.
2.) Sacral Chakra - Its color is bright orange and it represents nurturing and tenderness. When in balance this chakra includes the enjoyment of giving and receiving sensual pleasure. It is balanced by listening to the body and being aware of what it is asking for.
3.) Solar Plexus - This chakra is golden yellow and it represents the seat of our personality, as well as our sense of sight. When in balance this chakra enhances our ability to find our true authentic nature, and combines our power and will to achieve our greatest potential.
4.) Heart Chakra - Its color is emerald green. It represents perceptions of love, as well as our ideal partner, the attitudes we have about our parents, siblings and children. When in balance this chakra allows us to feel the freedom of conscious choice. It responds to the sense of touch.
5.) Throat Chakra - Its color is sky blue. It represents the expressing and receiving of verbal or creative energies. In balancing this chakra this includes the receiving of abundance and grace. It is associated with acceptance of what the abundant universe offers you. Balance relies on the ability to receive unconditionally.
6.) Third Eye - Its color is indigo. This represents inner sounds and our connection to spirit. The positive aspects of balancing this chakra include a heightened sense of awareness and intuition. Balancing this energy center creates unlimited possibilities through creative visualization. It also enhances our ability to manifest from pure thought. This energy center allows us to flow and work with the universal energy.
7.) Crown - Its color is violet. This chakra represents higher consciousness and unity with the divine energy. This involves and understanding of universal truth and knowledge. It connects the earth the to the energy of the heavens. It is associated with giving a sense of spirituality and a spiritual direction.
In Conclusion:
As we stated earlier, this article aims to provide you with only a simple overview of the ways our energy can create our higher consciousness. Learning more about the chakras, in my opinion, arms us with the ability to co-create our life's experience. In working toward energetic balance, we are provided with a way to live in the real world with a higher state of consciousness. Join me in the articles that follow, to discover each chakra individually as we take a deeper look at how to tap the power of the universal energy.
