This post is dedicated to a person I have slowly had the pleasure of getting to know via emails (20th/21st century pen pals). Every week (usually Thursday or Friday) she sends out an energy reading/projection from a woman named Elizabeth Peru. Although I do not believe in any deity who has control/influence over the events of the cosmos, and the individual entities that reside therein, I do believe we are all beings composed of matter and energy.
My dear friend, thank you for the positive reinforcement, and allowing me to know a beautiful mortal coil that is accompanied by an even more beautiful mind.
Matter: physical substance in general,
as distinct from mind and spirit; (in physics) that which occupies space and
possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy.
Energy: the strength and vitality
required for sustained physical or mental activity; power derived from the
utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and
heat or to work machines.
There are eight main Chakras; all
of which have ‘”mini-chakras” that contribute to their overall function. The Muladhara
Chakra, Svadhishthana Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Anahata Chakra, Vishuddhi Chakra,
Agya Chakra, Bindu Chakra, and the rarely opened Sahasrara Chakra. I like to
think of these as the energy that stabilizes, and contains our individual
matter- allowing us to exist in this form.
The Muladhara Chakra is your root
center, which correlates to the feet. This is what grounds you to this earth,
and keeps you ‘planted’. Whenever I feel disconnected from the world around me
I walk around barefoot. The dirt and grass between my toes reminds me of the
physical world I am a part of. Since the chakras activate in sequence, from the
feet to just above the head, it is mandatory that the Muladhara Chakra is
active before any others will be able to activate.
Our coccyx/lower abdominals (below
belly button) are associated with the Svadhishthana (sacral) Chakra. This
chakra is connected with our sense of taste, and reproduction (testes/ovaries).
Emotions and the subconscious mind are raw and powerful- delusion,
destructiveness, and suspicion often accompany the affections and sexual
desires of this chakra. Supposedly harnessing, and controlling through the
activation of the volatile water energy contained within this Chakra will
provide clarity and eloquence.
Manipura Chakra is the third, and
is located above the navel, slightly below the solar plexus. This is our
“core”- associated with the eyes and movement (i.e. connected to the feet). All
of our creative, and destructive powers reside within this chakra. This centralized chakra is where our power to
create, or to destroy resides. Breathing techniques (diaphragm breathing/meditation)
and dietary modifications can re-activate a closed Manipura Chakra (stress is a
bitch for this chakra).
Anahata Chakra is located near the
heart. When someone tells you to follow your heart, this is what they mean.
When this chakra is open and active you are able to free yourself from your
base desires of the previous Chakras, and listen to the higher chakras, who
will direct you to your personal fulfillment. Masters of this chakra are said
to be excellent orators, maintain a powerful presence wherever they are, and
can leave the body at will (wouldn’t that be awesome!). Since this is
associated with skin and hands, this chakra affects your decisions
significantly (follow your heart to find your dreams).
Vishuddhi/Vishudda Chakra is
located in your throat, near the spine. Creativity, self-expression, and higher
discrimination (more or less the ability to determine the best choices for you)
are the positive functions of this chakra. When this chakra closes decay, and
even death can result. The mouth and the ears are our physiological components
that allow us to speak and hear- which is how a person can activate this
chakra. Always remembering that we have two ears and one mouth is a good way to
maintain an open, and activated Vishuddhi/Vishudda Chakra.
Agya/ Ajna Chakra is located
between our eyebrows, and is often referred to as the ‘third eye’. This is where our intuition and intellect
originate. This creates the boundary between human (personal) and divine
(cosmic) consciousness. When a person
activates this chakra the egocentric intellect surrenders to the higher,
ethical, reasoning power of discrimination (omniscience)
that will grant the person . Whenever a person is confused, lost, and/or empty
this Chakra is probably closed; constant meditation on this chakra is required
to maintain its activation.
Bindu Chakra is located on the back
of the head, beneath the whirl of hair, where people often have a cowlick.
Bindu fluid is created here and sent to be purified by the Vishuddhi/Vishudda Chakra. Since the fluid
contains a poison, and a nectar, mental and physical health will decline when
the Vishuddhi/Vishudda Chakra is closed. Concentration on the Bindu Chakra
relieves anxiety, depression, nervousness, feelings of oppression; bestowing physical
health, mental health, vitality, and youthfulness from the production of “the nectar of immortality”.
Sahasrara Chakra is located on top
of, or just above the head, representing the highest state of existence.
Ignorance fades with the attainment of supreme consciousness and the revelation
of Divine Splendor. When this Chakra is activated the individual soul is
reunited with the Cosmic Consciousness- causing stillness of mind, and
liberation from the cycle of rebirth and death.
Medhā Shakti is the inexhaustible
source of our energy that flows from the Cosmic to the self through the Sahasrara
Chakra- excitement, stress, sexual intercourse, strong emotions, gossip, brooding,
and worrying deplete the energy we receive from the Cosmic Divine. Anger, hate,
jealousy, unresolved conflict, thoughts of revenge, and resentment will block
our connection to this flow of energy, slowly closing the chakras. Since this
is the raw power of action and existence it is wise to monitor the levels of
energy you receive so that you can increase, or decrease the flow, depending on
what you need.
The book, “Willpower: Rediscovering
the Greatest Human Strength”, discusses an energy tank the authors defined as “Willpower”.
Their idea is that we have one energy tank to use all day long, and everything
we do uses energy from that tank. While reading this book the thought occurred
to me that, if what they claimed is true, I would be able to redirect energy
used for one thing to another.
Over the last two years I have
practiced, and learned how to transfer energy from one region (chakra) of the
body to another. Once stored in the new region, I am able to utilize this
energy to enhance performance, and to increase efficacy. Balance is a difficult
thing to master though, and I was not aware the consequences of such energy
transfers would often be an imbalance within my own chakras.
What Chakras/energy zones do you think are blocked in your mortal coil? How do you plan to activate these Chakras?
All My Love,
Laron R. Lemon
