Why Do We Need to Use Our Chakras?

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 some physical symptoms include, thinking and reasoning problems, lack of mental clarity, and Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders, just to name a few. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include stubbornness, dogmatic, and closed-off to new ideas and concepts.
  •  Third-Eye chakra – it is in this chakra that we examine ourselves and interpret the Divine intelligence that enters the crown chakra. If there are any blockages to this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include, all forms of headaches and eye problems, as well as closed off to positive experiences. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include negative and doom-and-gloom attitudes.
  •  Throat Chakra – it is through this chakra that we can speak our truth. Living in integrity has become a lost art. If there are any blockages to this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include, blaming others for our own choices and not telling the truth. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include not being open to what others have to say and believing that you are saying the truth so you have a right to say it regardless of the consequences to others.
  •  Heart Chakra – it is through this chakra that we love ourselves and the Divine in others; that we see the oneness in all of life. If there are any blockages in this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include, heart problems and dysfunctional relationships, to name a few. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include believing that you are separate from others and that you are unworthy or unlovable.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra – it is in this chakra that we accept ourselves, our past, present, and future. If there are any blockages in this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include gall bladder and liver problems and self-esteem issues. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include not wanting to know the truth and believing that you can’t do or be what you choose to do or be.
  • Sacral Chakra – it is in this chakra that we discover our preferences and creativity. If there are any blockages in this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include weight problems and an inability to experience joy. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include false convictions and following the crowd even when you do not believe in the dogma of that group.
  •  Root Chakra – it is in this chakra that we accept where we came from without letting it define us. If there are any blockages in this chakra, we will find that some physical symptoms include colon and bowel dysfunction and inability to form lasting relationships. Thought patterns that cause this chakra to become blocked include excessive worry and fear and trying to please others in spite of our convictions.
The above lists are not inclusive but a primer for your basic understanding of why we need to work with and use these blessed gifts from the Universe.

Stay tuned for more next week.

Love and light,
Chariss

Crossing Over to the Other Side

Not many of us have received instructions on how to die. For that matter, not many of us have been instructed on how to live either. I dare to say that 99% of those reading this post have never heard any teaching or message on death and dying other than the five stages of grief from Psychology 101 [1] . Denial and isolation Anger   Bargaining   Depression Acceptance The idea of death and dying is filled with fear of punishment as compensation for how we lived this life. We have been told that we can expect either eternal damnation or a great mansion in the sky as our reward for the life we lead in the here and now of this existence. The basis of these teaching comes from religious doctrine and superstitious beliefs and are as varied as religions themselves. The reason we accept these beliefs is because we have forgotten who we are. Before we came into the womb we knew who we were. We were in touch with the light of the Universe, God’s light. We understood we were ...

Dabbling in Magic -- Blocking Universal Flow

So, you like to dabble in magic? Magic is more that illusions. It involves the practice of Wicca, witchcraft, or alchemy in an attempt to enchant or transform a person or situation. Is the practice of these methods conducive to your personal and spiritual growth? If we took a poll of today’s cultural beliefs about the use of these practices, we might find many conflicting answers. This post will help clarify these common terms used today. Magic Magic is commonly referred to as conjuring tricks and illusions such as the magic used by Houdini, Criss Angel, and David Blain – to name only a small number of the current famous magicians -- but it also refers to a the use of a supposed supernatural power to make something happen that would not likely happen without the use of conjuring. Magic is used to make someone or something change. This type of magic can be seen in love potions and love spells. The practitioner of magic believes that their power is greater than others and that their...

Working with Chakras

Image
Working with chakras might seem either unimportant or too complicated but it is a very important part of your spiritual growth. Working with chakras helps us to understand the physical and spiritual connection available to us. It is a realization of heaven on earth, “as it is above so it is below.” How do we start? The first and foremost part of working with your chakras is to be aware of their color and placement. (See the diagram below.) Now, sit quietly in a place where you will not be disturbed or distracted and visualize your own chakras just as those in the diagram above. Focus your attention on each one until you can sense its color and warmth. In the next few weeks, take one chakra at a time starting with the root chakra and concentrate on it, meditate on it. Allow it to open your understanding about its purpose in your life. Take mental notes or write the information in a journal. Then move on to the next chakra until you have reached the crown. For more information on ...
