Chakra Energy Unleashed
by Jonathan Benjem
Did you know that our bodies have tremendous amounts of energies,
which are sufficient to ensure our physical and mental health? This
may come as news to many Westerners, but it's a fact of life proved
and followed by many ancient saints and scholars in countries, like
India.
This reservoir of energy is known as 'Chakra Energy'. Chakras are the
energy centers located in the upper half of the body. Though, there
are thousands of Chakras in the entire human body, but primarily,
there are just seven Chakras that dominate the overall health of the
body. These are:
* Root Chakra (RED) situated at the base of the spine.
* Spleen Chakra (ORANGE) situated just below the navel.
* Solar Plexus or the Power Chakra (YELLOW) located in the stomach
region, just above the navel.
* Heart Chakra (GREEN) located in the center of the chest.
* Throat Chakra (BLUE) located at the base of the throat.
* Brow or the Third Eye Chakra (INDIGO) located between the brows on
the forehead.
* Crown Chakra (VIOLET) located on top of the head.
Though invisible, these Chakras constantly and continuously rotate in
the bodies at their stated positions. This movement is responsible for
the production of energy, called Chakra Energy.
The movement of the Chakras has to be harmonious in order to produce
the desired effect. Naturally, the movement of Chakra is in sync, but
imbalance can occur due to several physical or emotional pressures.
The remedy is simply to work towards the achievement of Chakra Balance
through physical and metaphysical means.
So, what's exactly Chakra Energy and how it influences our physical
and mental well being? The Chakra System in our body is primarily
responsible for the smooth functioning of every organ. As every bodily
organ is connected with the brain through a complex web of nerves, the
Chakras rotate to provide the necessary energy for all the nerves and
organs so that they perform their natural functions in an unhindered
manner. They not only rotate, but also the movement of their rotation
is so synchronized that they complement each other in a unique way.
This balance in the Chakra movement is what's precisely required to
enjoy a healthy existence.
The next question that arises in our quest for knowing more about
Chakra Energy is how easy or difficult it is to achieve a balance in
the movement of these Chakras? With practice, perseverance, and
belief, nothing remains difficult forever. Undoubtedly, it is not a
'learn overnight' process, but the modus operandi is pretty simple.
All it involves is to sit in a convenient body posture, and relax and
feel every body part - from the visible organs to the minutest cell
within. Early on, you'll feel several distractions, like body pain,
wavering thoughts, diverse emotions etc., but if you stick with the
routine and perform this exercise at least half an hour daily, the
results will be positive.
You may ask if achieving physical and emotional well being is so
simple, then why are the incidents of such ailments on the rise? The
answer is pretty obvious. The advancements in the modern day living
have translated into our increasing reliance on the materialistic
things. In the worldly pursuits, man has slowly but surely lost
contact with the spiritual aspect of his existence. This myopic
mindset has robbed humans of their earthiness.
The best part of Chakra Energy is that it is always within your
control. You just need a firm determination to balance the Chakra
movements and in the process, ensure a healthy and contented
existence, both in the physical as well as spiritual realm.
