Seven Chakras

The Seven Chakras of The Astral Body.

There are seven main chakras( wheels of energy ) in the astral body and many nadis come together here. Six chakras are found along the sushumna, which follows the spinal column, and the seventh is found at the crown. Chakras store prana; the energy becomes finer as it moves up from the base of the chakras to the crown.

Sahasrara or Crown Chakra

The crown chakra absorbs the violet ray and is the spiritual centre where true wisdom and understanding reside. Opening this chakra through meditation practices can - after much time and effort - lead to the ultimate goals of self-realisation and enlightenment.

Ajina or Brow Chakra

The sixth Chakra is located between the eyebrows at the point known as the third eye. It is associated with  the colour indigo and it is in this chakra that conscious and unconscious knowledge meet. Opening the third eye and allowing universal energy to flow freely through it will put you in touch with your innate intuitive and psychic powers.

Vishuddha or Throat Chakra

The fifth Chakra, situated at the base of the skull, is linked to the glandular system and to expression. Blocked energy in this area creates difficulities with communication.

Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra

The third Chakra, in the solar plexus area, draws in the yellow ray. It has to do with how we create balance within ourselves. Since it relates to the digestive system, it is an important centre for healing and the main store for Prana.

Swadhishtana or Sexual Chakra

This Chakra is located just behind the genitals. It absorbs the orange ray and is concerned with our passions and sexuality. When we allow energy to flow freely here, this area of our lives will be positive. However, blocked energy can result in sexual or reporductive problems.

Muladhara or Root Chakra

At the base of the spine, this chakra draws in thr red ray. It is concerned with our ability to survive and adapt and gives us stability. Too much or too little energy here can block us and make us afraid of change.

People like to wear chakra jewelery, pendants and keyrings to help them keep the energy at all times.
