Chakras

What are chakras?

Chakras are alive.  Each chakra is constructed from a subtle substance called ether, also known as qi or prana.  Ether is self-luminous and highly intelligent. Ether is the basis of sacred geometry. Thus..  chakras can take many shapes: a spiral, a flower, a sphere, or a wheel. They interact with everything around us.

Healthy chakras

Chakras are like any of our physical body systems and structures. They are independent and interact with each other. Complex and intricate the respond to our thoughts and emotions directly.

When a chakra is strong you experience life in a very healthy way; you feel vital and confident but most importantly connected.  Life seems to “just work out”. 

When a chakra is emotionally or mentally challenged  the associated area of the body may become physically unhealthy.  If, for example, the front your throat chakra is blocked, you could have difficulties expressing yourself or listening to what others say.  In many cases this can lead to low self-esteem or a weakened immune system. There are seven chakra areas in the body: some will be stronger than others. It is important to be aware of the weaker ones to find ways to enhance your entire chakra system.

Seven plus chakras

The seven body chakras follow along the spine and into the head. They spiral  forwards and backwards. Beyond the seven chakras familiar to most, there are additional major chakras and minor ones. I found them to be very important.  There are two other heart chakras: Hridaya or Inner Chamber of the Heart that is a golden globe and Utpala, the Higher Heart that appears as a blue lotus.  A Dream Chakra at the back of the head is active is some cultures.  In the sacral chakra there are  two minor chakras, the Eyes of the Child; one over each hip socket.

Chakras create our energy fields in the human aura. We also have a Spiritual Aura.  This is created by another set of chakras above us. Imagine that you were in a circus act with someone, in this case your higher self, standing on your head. Your higher etheric self also has seven chakras. These reach out though all of Time/Space and beyond.
