What Is Chakra

The physical body is affected by change through many systems, and one system is called the chakra. The word ‘chakra’ comes from Sanskrit and means wheel or circle. The chakras are wheels of energy or fields of consciousness. They are specially created for us humans to understand the complex energy fields that operate and surround the physical body. The chakra system also coordinates energy and influences the endocrine and nervous systems.

What Are The 7 Chakras?

There are 7 main body chakras, one on each palm, one on the bottom of each foot, and five above the head. Smaller chakras are found in other locations around the body too. The energy from these fields of consciousness begins at the molecular level, and it travels outward, emitting a lot of energy around the body called the aura. Often, energy venting from the chakras gets stuck, causing discomfort, pain, and illness. Keeping the energy spinning clockwise in the chakras is also important to maintain optimum good health.

The first chakra is located in the body’s perineum area or the sitz bones region. The second chakra is the pelvic region, and the third is the solar plexus. The first three chakras are the lower Self or the body’s subconscious. The fourth chakra is located where the physical heart is. The fifth is the throat, the sixth is the third eye or minds-eye, and the seventh is the top of the head or crown chakra—these are considered the higher Self within the physical body.

The chakras correspond to different colors, vibrational tones, and organs. The color is merely an electrical charge vaporizing from the body. Chakras also correspond to specific positive and negative emotional patterns, as described earlier in this book.

The five chakras above the head connect to more subtle energies. The eighth chakra is about six inches above the head and looks like a halo. It is the soul-center or the communication gateway. This is the chakra through which spiritual guidance is directed. The chakras then build above the head in a funnel-like direction. The widest part of the funnel is the twelfth chakra. The ninth chakra is wider and about twelve inches above the eighth. It represents unconditional love, and the color is peach. This love vibration begins at the ninth chakra and circulates through the fourth (heart) into the second (creative self-expression) and back to the ninth chakra.

The tenth chakra is wider and about fifteen inches above the ninth and represents a deep level of compassion; its color is turquoise. The tenth chakra weaves compassion through the fifth chakra (throat), down through the first chakra of survival, and back to the tenth chakra. The eleventh chakra is wider and about fifteen inches above the tenth, and its color is silver. It beautifully connects us with the Divine Feminine. The twelfth chakra is gold and the widest part of the funnel, connecting us with the absolute energy of All That There Is (God). The eleventh and twelfth chakras are equal in status, and they equally connect us with our higher Self and the I Am Presence.

Imagine the chakras as golden discs that lie horizontally in the physical body, parallel to the floor, with the spinal column going through the middle of the chakra disc building an interior cylinder. When using the Emotional Sprays with the chakras, mist across the chakra from one side of the body to the other rather than directly into the chakra. This method provides the deepest level of healing and captures a wider range of energy. Any one of the vibrational sprays is perfect for chakra balancing and healing.
