The Body Chakras are an ancient Hindu science in itself of understanding the way a man is or his well being in the entirety, that is, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The Body Chakras are seven energy centers placed in a vertical line along the human body in its subtle within. Scientifically speaking, each of these body are linked to the major nerve ganglia from the spinal cord and correlates to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, body functions and much more.
The Muladhar Chakra is the base or root of all the body chakras located at the last bone of the spine. Standing for group force and identity, it can be felt while watching your country win a gold medal. Blockage in the energy flow of this chakra can result in viral or epidemics and affect areas like the immunity system, rectum, bones and feet.
After the power of your group identity, the Swadhisthana or Sacral body chakra is all about the power of relationships and the power of choice. This duality results in the energies to tell us to make a choice and thereafter gives the lesson that you can not have absolute control. The common fears in this case are fear of loosing control on other people, relationships, money, authority, sex, power, addiction, etc Known as the sacral body chakra, physically it is linked to reproduction and can give rise to ovarian cancer, arthritis, lower back pain, etc. if not directed properly.
The third body chakra of Manipura or the Solar Plexus chakra becomes active from the time of puberty and signifies the personal power of an individual. It is here that the individualism or the concept of self develops. While the positives of this body chakra involve self respect, self esteem, ambition, courage, ethics, etc, the negative aspects include fear of rejection, criticism, physical appearance consciousness. Channelizing this energy enhancing one’s inner power results in an empowered, healthy and successful individual.
The central power house of the body chakras is that of the Anahata or the heart chakra as commonly known which may be termed as the central point where one’s body meets his spirit. The fears in this chakra are those of emotional weakness, loneliness, betrayal, fear of commitment, etc and these can only be overcome with positives such as hope, trust, unconditional love and most importantly forgiveness. Always remember that negative energy of this chakra can not only wound a person emotionally but also has the capacity to cripple one physically with severe diseases. Hence, forgiveness is something that is not only an emotional act but also an important tool for physical wellbeing.
The fifth of the body chakras is that of the throat or Vishuddha Chakra which is the meeting point of the head and the heart with one usually playing a more dominant role over the other. The fears here are those of loosing control over one’s life, fear about god’s will while the positive is the development of faith.
The Ajna or the third eye is the sixth of the body chakras located between one’s eyebrows which can be opened through meditation. It is that chakra which resonates with the positive energy reaching one’s inner psyche and leads to healthy detachment from all perceptions that are subjective in nature and results in the ability of one to separate truth from illusion.
The final of the body chakras is that of the Sahasrara Chakra at the crown of one’s head which stands for the ultimate level of spiritual enlightenment of man. A chakra that houses all positive energies, all energies here are aligned in the attainment of the ultimate universal truth and realization of the true potential of man through devotion, prophetic thoughts, psychic powers, mystical thoughts and advanced meditation.
