Chakras

Energy flows through our bodies in many ways.  The people of India discovered spinning wheels of energy that allow the body to interact with the aura and the outside world.  These energy wheels, known as Chakras, also keep a record of life experiences.  

Chakras are found all over the body - fingertips, palms, temples, for example. The main chakras, however, are found along the midline of the body as follows:

• ROOT Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to the themes of grounding, tribal connection and urge to procreate. Emanates from the perineum, downwards.

• SACRAL Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to the themes of creativity, connection, procreation and self-creation. Emanates front and back between the hips.

• SOLAR PLEXUS Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to the themes of ego, self-image, self-esteem and will. Emanates front and back above the navel.

• HEART Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to the themes of compassion, empathy, deep connection and love. Emanates front and back in the region of the heart.

• THROAT Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to the themes of communication, metabolization of thoughts and inputs, and self-expression. Emanates front and back from the throat region.

• BROW Chakra (Third Eye), which carries memories and influences related to the senses and to intuition. Emanates front and back from the centre of the brain.

• CROWN Chakra, which carries memories and influences related to connection to the Divine. Emanates upwards from the top of the head.
  

Wherever the chakras emanate, they also receive in the same area. Each Chakra is also associated with a set of emotions, life roles, physical organs, and functions. When one or more chakras are is emitting too much or too little energy, are moving sluggishly or erratically, or are disconnected from other energetic systems, the person is out of balance.  Chakra balancing can help the person return to a natural state where all chakras are functioning harmoniously and in balance, leading to health and integration in the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual realms.

More information on the Chakras can be found here. Donna Eden teaches that when there are time restraints for the client, or when they will not be able to attend multiple sessions, working with the chakras will be the most powerful help.  Clearing the chakras and then balancing them can reach into the body and field, influencing the aura, the organs and other body parts associated with each chakra, and the hormones. It is also an integral part of the work preparing for the deep shift that comes from having a repair to the Basic Grid.
