CHAKRAS
Ok so what is a Chakra?
The easiest explanation is that they are your energy
centres. We mainly focus on the 7 main ones that run
down our spine.
I am going to give you an explanation of them from a
book I have by Caroline Shola Arewa. She explains them
like this.
Chakras are your Gift Of Divinity. They are your inner
GOD.
The very essence of who you are. Chakras are
responsible for creating and maintaining your very
existence. They are energy centres – vibrating wheels
of cosmic light that bring physical form into being.
Without chakras we would not be here.
Now another controversial subject on chakras is
whether you can open and close your chakras. Can you
close your chakras?
Well I always believed that yes you could open and
close your chakras, but I decided to look further into
it, and this is what I came up with. But please
remember this is just my thoughts.
You can not close your chakras. What makes your blood
pump round your body? Your heart. What makes your
heart Beat? ENERGY. What makes electricity? ENERGY.
The chakras are connected to the endocrine system,
which helps maintain your glands, hormone system, and
metabolic system. Metabolic system is energy. We are
energy, the planet and everything on it is energy. We
would not be here if it system is energy. We are
energy, the planet and everything on it is energy. We
would not be here if it wasn’t for energy. We need
food (energy source) to survive, so how can we survive
if we close down our chakras. They are what makes us.
If we had no energy, we wouldn’t be here.
Now when I was told my heart chakra was closed, it was
by a medium who said she could see my chakras. Now yes
maybe she did, but I think where this all gets
confused is, by people saying your chakra is closed,
but what they really mean is, that its not as open as
it should be. Look at a chakra as a flower. Its starts
as the bud, then it opens further and further until
its in full bloom. I believe this is like our chakras.
When someone says it closed its not closed as such, it
may be that it’s at bud stage. Its alive, its there
for all to see. But it’s not at full bloom.
There are many exercises that you can do to open your
chakras further.
Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit and refers to cone
shaped vortices of energy, which spin and vibrate
within the energy body
We have 7 major chakras, twenty one minor, 49 minute
and countless miniscule chakras
The 7 main ones run from the base of the spine to the
top of the head.
The chakras affect how we are in mind body and spirit.
It is through the chakras that these aspects of your
being are connected and can be aligned and balanced.
They are not in your physical body, but a part of the
subtle energy body.
Chakras should be looked at as a whole and not on
their own. Each one affects the other. Energy flows
from crown to root and back again.
Chakra meditations are great. Visualising each chakra
and seeing it fully open and spinning at full speed. I
also use the OM. It’s great for wakening the chakras
up. When you do the OM properly, it vibrates down all
the chakras. It really does work and I always feel
great after it. If your not sure how to do the OM, or
how it should sound then click on this link and have a
