Sunday Morning Musings

Chakras have been documented in ancient text for more than 5,000 years. And yet we treat the information as if it was new and scary, even taboo. If you look at old paintings of saints, rulers and great teachers you will notice that they were typically portrayed with a golden plate, light or halo around the head. This depicted what the artist saw as a layer of the aura shining out from the crown chakra. The aura is a force that emanates from the individual chakras and everyone has this. Somewhere along the line the information was lost or hidden but it has always been with us.  Notice the auric layer in the paintings below: As babies and small children we saw the auric layers around the people near us and in anyone who approached. If you doubt this, watch a baby in the arms of his/her parents. When you approach, they look at you but then they look all around you as they take in all the auric information about you and your spiritual connection to Divine. Sometimes they cry or b...

The seven major chakras provide energy to the body systems. When any of the chakras has a blocked energy flow it is similar to a tripped circuit breaker – it has to be examined and restarted. So how do you know if you have a tripped circuit breaker or that your energy flow is blocked or imbalanced? Looking at each chakra individually gives a more complete picture of their importance: Seven major chakras: 1.       The Crown chakra – is our connection to universal intelligence or Divine mind. If you feel foggy or experience cloudy thinking, it is likely that this connection is blocked or stagnant. The crown chakra has everything to do with processing information and sharing it with the rest of the body’s energy system (chakras). Great minds have a great connection to Divine mind, to the Universe. Closed minds have blocked this flow. 2.       The Third-Eye chakra – is the place where we see clearly. We see where we are going and where we...

Throughout the ages and each individual’s life, we and our world, experience an ebb and flow like the tide. The waves come in, they flow out again. We plunge into love, we fall out of love. We learn things and we forget things. Whether the information about chakras was lost, forgotten, or hidden doesn’t really matter; it receded. What does matter is that the flow of knowledge has returned. A new and renewed interest is with us and we can take advantage of that revival to develop a strong connection to our Creator. After all, we were made in the Creator’s image. So what are chakras? The simple definition for chakras (pronounced Shock-Ruhs) is “the energy wheels of the body”. The language of origin is Sanskrit and translates to “wheels” or “turning”. The information about chakras is over 5,000 years old and yet today we treat it as something “new” or unusual. The most significant aspect of the chakras should be immediately evident – energy wheels. When we experience an important even...
