YOUR CHAKRAS:

SACRED CENTERS OF LIGHT

 

The seven major chakras align along a vertical central channel of subtle energy
that serves as a personal Rainbow Bridge linking our mortal self to Divinity.

 

 

If you were to view the chakras from the side, they would appear as spinning energy funnels originating from the central energy channel which overlays the spinal cord and extending outside of the body, somewhat like whirlpools.  Optimally functioning chakras will be in perpetual motion, radiant, symmetrical, and open.  The open end of a balanced chakra is about four to five inches in diameter at a distance of one inch from the body.  If you were to stand in front of another person, slow down their chakras and view them, you would find that they resemble the spectacular ever-changing mandalas that are produced when you turn a kaleidoscope with one exquisite formation flowing into the next. 

 

 

Aromatherapy:  Ancient

Wisdom for Modern Times

 

 

Although the contemporary practice of modern aromatherapy originated only within the last hundred years, the use of aromatic plant substances for healing purposes can be traced back to all the major ancient civilizations of the world.  Ancient writings describe the use of aromatic herbs, spices, resins, fats, oils, vinegars, wines, beers, and more for rituals, embalming, healing, and beatification.  It is believed that aromatic plants have actually been used by humankind since the dawn of human history. . . .

Your Chakras:  Sacred Centers of Light

 

By Theda Renee Floyd, PhD, RN, HHP

 

 

Every living being including the Earth and the Universe has spinning vortices of energy called chakras.  In fact, you have thousands of chakras in and around you.  Deep within your physical body are located the seven major chakras that most affect your daily life.  Each of these energy centers has a different frequency, color, function, and purpose. 

 

The chakras located in the lower part of your body vibrate and spin slower, while the chakras in your upper body vibrate and spin faster.  Your heart chakra is the hub of your spiritual core and connects your lower three chakras, which are focused on worldly issues, with your upper three chakras, which are focused on spiritual issues.  Together, these seven energy centers form a greater connecting bridge between body and mind, matter and consciousness, Earth and Heaven. 

 

In Eastern esoteric literature, each of the chakras is perceived as a sacred center of light represented by a lotus flower having a specific number of petals.  On closer investigation, these petals appear to be small rotating vortices that are spinning at very high rates.  Each vortex assimilates an energy vibration that resonates at its particular spin frequency.  The first chakra, for example, has four small vortices and assimilates four basic frequencies of energy; the second chakra has six small vortices and assimilates six basic frequencies of energy, and so on up the seven chakra system.  Like flowers, the chakras can be open or closed depending on the state of the consciousness within. 

 

The chakras are intuitively sensed in relation to the midline of the body, and the spine, from the base of the tailbone to the area above the top of the head.  These seven chakras align along a vertical central channel of subtle energy that serves as a personal Rainbow Bridge linking our mortal self to Divinity.  A rainbow is visible light broken into what we see as seven colors:  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet with red being the slowest moving light waves and violet the fastest.  The colors observed in each chakra are related to the frequency of light that it assimilates.  Just as slow moving light waves appear as warm hues of color, the lower and slower spinning chakras appear in shades of red, orange, and yellow.  The upper chakras, which are faster spinning, have cool shades of turquoise blue, indigo, and violet.  The heart chakra, which has the key central position in the chakra system, presents in shades of green which also has the central position in the middle of the visible color spectrum. 

 

If you were to view the chakras from the side, they would appear as spinning energy funnels originating from the central energy channel which overlays the spinal cord and extending outside of the body, somewhat like whirlpools.  Optimally functioning chakras will be in perpetual motion, radiant, symmetrical, and open.  The open end of a balanced chakra is about four to five inches in diameter at a distance of one inch from the body.  If you were to stand in front of another person, slow down their chakras and view them, you would find that they resemble the spectacular ever-changing mandalas that are produced when you turn a kaleidoscope with one exquisite formation flowing into the next. 

 

Each major chakra on the front of the body is paired with its counterpart on the back of the body, and together they are considered to be the front and rear perspective of one chakra.  The first chakra which faces downward toward the Earth, and the seventh chakra which faces upward toward Heaven, also have rear perspectives that may be perceived intuitively.  The front perspectives are related to our consciousness and the parts of ourselves that we accept.  The rear perspectives have to do with our subconsciousness and the parts of ourselves that we do not acknowledge or accept—our shadow. 

 

From the front, the chakras generally appear to be spinning clockwise, while from the back they appear to be spinning counterclockwise.  However, the chakras are exceedingly complex structures and contain interior currents with some spinning clockwise while others are spinning counterclockwise.  These complex vortices allow for the flow of energy both into and out of the body.  The chakras are energy transformers, allowing the energies of one dimension to be assimilated and stepped up or down, enabling them to connect and interact with another.  They facilitate the inflow of needed energies from the unlimited supply of energy in the Universe, the assimilation and disbursement of these energies, and the outflow of energies that are not needed or wanted.  As well, we may receive energies from other people in the form of information, emotions, love, or touch; and we may express our energies through our thoughts, creativity, love, or energy work.
