Another Look At Chakra Meditation Therapy

by Nisal Karuiyaratna

There are energy-wheels known as chakras which line up along the central line of everyone.



Certain mystical practitioners even believe the number of these wheels to be fourteen.



Beginning at the base (believed to be either the bottom end of the spine or the genitals) they go right up to the top of the head, the crown.



The base chakra is red. As we go up, the solar plexus has a golden chakra; the belly or womb chakra is orange in hue. The heart has a green chakra, the throat blue and the center of the forehead is indigo. This acts like the third eye. At the crown, the chakra is violet that turns whiter towards its circumference away from the head.



As well as each chakra being associated with a particular color, they are numbered from one to seven with the base chakra being number one and the crown chakra being number seven.



The first of these chakras is responsible for our vitality, sexual and physical health.



Chakra two rules a person's creative powers.



Chakra three is responsible for our will power and desires.



The fourth chakra commands the energy of our emotional life and opens us up to giving and receiving love.



Chakra five manages the equation between our emotions and thoughts. It decides our communication powers and gives us personal magnetism.



The sixth chakra is responsible for our intuition and extra sensory powers, which is why we call it the sixth sense.



The seventh chakra is used to take us on astral voyages and connects us with cosmic awareness, some of which is what is captured and brought back down to the second chakra during artistic practices and which is also accessed on shamanic journeys.



When people feel they are connecting directly with God, they are focusing the energies of their seventh, purple-white, crown chakra.



The chakra wheels naturally want to spin. If they are healthy and clean, they are spinning, and then they are providing you with the strongest, healthiest energies you can have. But if they become clogged, then they cannot spin and you will have problems or sickness in one or more of the areas outlined.



The secret to health is that these chakras should be balanced. In case even one wheel is more active than others, the result can be addictions, neuroses, obsessive-compulsive disorders or unintentional cruelty.



The chakras can become dirty and clogged through neglect or wrong living. If you eat a poor diet or have a negative or shallow attitude toward sexual relations, you will sully the first, red, basal chakra, and as a result you will suffer from ill health, or broken romantic relationships.



If you start dabbling in things like black magic or even destructive negative thoughts about other people you are likely to unbalance or clog up the seventh crown chakra which will mean you are unable to connect with the higher cosmos and you are left feeling totally empty and fearful.



A healthy, rapid spinning chakra is extremely flexible and is able to open and shut when necessary. This gives it the ability to receive energy from a source which is good, but close when a negative force is attempting to transmit its own bad energy. If it is not healthy however it will be unable to prevent you from receiving this bad energy.



The way to use chakra therapy is to focus in a balanced way on each one of the seven major energy categories that each chakra commands. This should be done on a daily basis.



Look at each chakra area by meditating and seeing how its aspects are manifesting in your life. You do this by visualizing your body's energy in that particular chakra. If you become aware that your chakra energy is lacking in any particular category, then you can use meditation to make that particular chakra healthy and balanced.



It is also observed that when some persons meditate on a gemstone of the same color as the chakras, their concentration is very high. They are able to focus better and can obtain an insight into the path for cleansing their chakras and make them healthier.



Many people find that the simplest way is to listen to the frequencies of each chakra in turn which results in your own chakras resonating with these frequencies, which then results in them becoming completely balanced.
