Chakras are our gifts; gifts to enhance our physical, mental, and spiritual lives. As I have stated in my book, Chakra Basics: Fundamentals of Spiritual Growth , these gifts don’t help us unless we take them out of the box and experience them. Chakras are our energy source; like any energy source, they must be used and maintained to continue to function properly. If an engine is not oiled and maintained, it can rust or freeze up. This applies to our chakras as well. Every physical or mental dysfunction, such as disease or disorders, first starts with an emotional issue that becomes trapped in our energy systems, the chakras. This has been proven many times by science that “mind over matter” can heal even terminal conditions. Let’s look at each individual chakra and how being rusty or frozen-up can cause physical disorders: Crown chakra – it is through this chakra that we receive Divine intelligence and Universal wisdom. If there are any blockages to this chakra, we will find that s...

The chakras, their colors and meaning, the source of energy, and blocked energy have been covered in my earlier blogs. It is important that we are able to restore the chakras to perfection for effective energy in our lives. How Do We Heal the Chakras? When the chakras have blockages or imbalanced, how do we heal them? What does it take to remove a blockage or to restore balance?  Working with the chakras is similar to self-analysis. My book , Chakra Basics: Fundamentals of Spiritual Growth , is a teaching manual designed to take anyone through the basic understanding of chakras and how to heal our energy systems but for our purposes here the answer is simply and irrevocably: white light. What is white light? It is the energy of Divine source; it is Divine source. It is the summation of the ALL. It is purity, love, and healing. It is the substance that perfects all things. White light can appear as a mist, vapor or shower; it can be channeled as a beam and pointed in a partic...

The colors and purposes of the seven major chakras:          The Root Chakra – located at the base of the spine in the perineum area, this chakra is red in color symbolizing energy and physical. It is the chakra closest to the earth and easily draws red, earth-energy into the body for strength and stamina. It is through the chakra that we find grounding and balance. The Root Chakra is primarily concerned with the basics in life -- food, shelter and clothing -- and all the other ingredients in life that focus on the survival of humanity, such as procreation and family.   The Sacral Chakra – located in the sacral area of the body (resting between the pelvic bones and above the pubic bone but below the navel) is orange in color and represents the pleasures, creativity, and enjoyment of life. It is the chakra of choices and preferences. It is significant that this chakra is between the red root chakra and the yellow solar plexus chakra as the colors red ...

Chakras are our connection to Divine mind. They are an open channel through which we process information received by Divine consciousness. They are gifts from the Universe. However, like any gift, if we do not open the package, examine the contents and put it to use, it does not serve us – it is simply an unused present. For example, if I receive a new coffee pot from a relative or friend and I let it sit in the unopened box then I cannot brew a fresh cup of coffee using that new appliance.  Perhaps the coffee pot I am currently using has a cracked canister or the heating element doesn't keep the coffee warm; I may be so accustomed to using that old coffee pot that I have forgotten how nice it would be to have a hot cup of coffee brewed properly. My reluctance to make a change limits my enjoyment of morning coffee. To remedy this, all I need to do is open the new gift, take it out of the box and plug it in. Plugging into Universal consciousness is pretty much the same. The Crow...
