I have studied and worked with chakras for over ten years and I am still completely fascinated by them.
To first understand them, forget everything you know!
Yes, reboot yourself back to factory settings. Once you are able to
do this, you will start a beautiful journey upgrading your energy and
life. And remember, keep everything simple.
Lets understand the basics. The Sanskrit word ʻchakraʼ means ʻwheel
of physical or spiritual energy in the human bodyʼ. We have 7 main
chakras or energetic points in the physical body, which start at the
bottom of our spine and finish at the top of our head. Each chakra
governs a different part of our physical body as well as specific area in
our life.
The energy we create within our mind, body, soul and emotions is
channeled through our chakras, which can determine whether our
life experiences will be positive or negative.
My favourite quote to describe this process comes from Einstein -
"Everything is energy and thats all there is to it. Match the frequency
of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can
be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics."
What does this mean? If you seek happiness, it is time to change your
half empty glass, for a half full one! When we surround ourself with
negative thoughts, people, situations and environments, the energy we
attract into our life is negative creating toxic chakras, and an
unhealthy physical body.
When we choose to surround our self with positive people, thoughts and
environments, we will attract positive energy into our life creating
healthy chakras and a healthy physical body. What we feed our mind,
body, soul and emotions, affects our chakras, which then impacts our
life.
Now comes the rebooting part of understanding our chakras. We know
each chakra governs different parts of our physical body, which relate
to different aspects of our life. We also know that to much negativity
affects our energy and health, so here is what can happen next. When we
donʼt listen to our body and refuse to make changes in our life, all
that negative energy and emotion gets trapped in our physical body and
manifests into physical pain.
Let me give you an example. Say I am unhappy at work and not enjoying
my job. I dread going to work in the morning, knowing I will be there
all day because I need the security of my job to pay my bills, sound
familiar? Each negative thought builds in my mind consuming my thoughts,
and my energy becomes low.
My physical body is becoming tired and fatigued and I am losing my
mojo, longing for the weekend to come. To top it all, I have developed a
bad back and hip which is limiting my physical movement. STOP! Our first
chakra called Muladhara or the root chakra (red), which is located at
the base of our spine, governs our life aspect of work, home, finances
and relationships.
It also governs the base of our spine to the tip of our toes. So, if
we are not meeting our needs within this chakra, the manifestation of
negativity will inevitably happen somewhere within these body parts. In
this case it has appeared in the back and hip, areas that govern the
root chakra.
Our chakras and wellbeing go hand in hand!
How do you change this? Start to change your life by getting to know
what your needs are, then look for a job/career that is more suited to
you. Limitations exist if you allow them to! There is no quick fix to
happiness and wellbeing, it takes time and effort by you, for you.
For me, the chakras are an indication of how we can reach our
fullest potential. Understanding then unblocking each chakra, and
transcending any limitations we may have created. As our chakras open,
our conscious understanding of life blossoms.
Wellbeing is contagious, pass it on!
