Chakra – what you need to know
Each person has what is called a life force energy and this is run by their chakra. It is said that the chakra is actually an axis point on the body that talks with that life force energy. Most people are not aware that the word chakra is actually a Sanskrit word. The meaning of the word is a sphere of mans aural energy or a constantly whirling wheel. Believe it or not, it is said that in the Hindu writing, you can find much more then 88,000 chakra points in your body but all of those points break down into a total of 7 main energy axis which go from the top of your head all the way to the base of your spine.
These seven main chakra points are known as the root or base chakra, the sacral chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the third eye chakra and the crown chakra. These seven main chakras receive and transmit energy from the universe, as well as from other people. These influence all of the activities of the individuals, spiritual, emotional and physical.
Chakras have been described in several different ways, but all of these descriptions have one common characteristic. Whether it be from the Chinese medicinal point of view or the Hindu point of view these descriptions are all similar. It is the understanding of the experiences of people and the way that the human mind thinks and goes through different emotions.
This happens specifically because each one of the major chakra glands works with a specific endocrine gland within our bodies. If there is an imbalance in the function of a chakra this will effect our physical and emotional state of well being. It will also create a disturbance in the endocrine gland that is associated with that specific chakra.
It is of the up most importance that you attempt to maintain Chakra balance at all times. You must also realize and come to conclude that all major illnesses result from one of the seven major chakras being disrupted. You must also realize that events that happened previously in your life may be affecting you spiritually as well as emotionally even if you are not physically sick.
You can safely say any major ailments or illnesses that your body may be suffering with can be related to an unbalanced chakra. It is important to maintain the proper chakra balance in order to keep your body functioning properly. Even though you may not see any physical attributes of an illness or an imbalance, you may see a difference in your emotions.
There are many people that say that one of the biggest issues with an unbalanced chakra is when people carry around emotional issues. Theses are generally from their past and in order for them to fix things they will need to address these issues to move on. This is something that many people do without being aware of it as these issues can be stored in their subconscious mind. If they leave these issues alone to fester they can get a build up of emotional toxins which can be harmful.
You must realize that Chakra healing is extremely good for your body and that you can also directly influence each and every one of your Chakras. You can do this by employing techniques such as Reiki healing, color therapy, aromatherapy, chakra balancing with the aid of a pendulum, crystals or gemstones.
Some people swear by doing yoga exercises to help with their physical being as well as their breathing. You can also try to visit the exercises which can help to balance their chakra.
Some other ways that we can heal our Chakras include mediation as well as guided visualization. These techniques can help to reduce stress and harness the power of the mind.
Even know we can not actually touch or to see our chakra?s, we can help to work with each one to make our body the best it can be.
In order to maintain balance, you need to eat right and stay healthy. There are even certain foods that will help with all seven chakras.
Vegetables that are root type vegetables as well as protein-rich foods help to nourish the root chakra. You may be intrigued to know that the sexual and creative chakra works best on nuts, vanilla, sesame, as well as extremely sweet fruits such as pineapples and oranges. The stomach chakra is responsible for self confidence and self esteem. The stomach chakra is best nourished through eating carbohydrates as well as dairy products.
Did you know that the heart chakra functions the best when you eat leafy vegetables such as cabbage and also functions great when you drink large quantities of green tea? The chakra of the throat needs to stay hydrated. Therefore, you must drink a lot of water and fruit juices like apple juice.
Eating blueberries along with wines and grape juice are responsible for keeping our third eye chakra hydrated. The third eye is extremely important because it is entirely responsible for making our senses and physical abilities much sharper.
The crown chakra which is our emotional and spiritual center often requires a good detoxification. This can be done by fasting or by the ritual inhalation of certain herbs.
When we nourish or stimulate our chakras, we can influence our health and well being. This has the effect of making us more responsive in our lives as we become totally in tune and aligned with the energies of our surroundings.
