Chakra Introduction
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means "wheel" or "vortex" because that is how it appears to those
who can view them. Each Chakra is a mass of energy within the physical body.
The Chakras are not physical; they are energy fields that are more condensed than the auric fields
but not as solid as the physical body.
Chakras interact with the physical body through the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each
of the seven main Chakras are associated with one of the seven Endocrine Glands and also with a
particular group of nerves called a Plexus. Thus, each of the seven main Chakras can be associated
with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by their specific
Endocrine Gland and Plexus.
The Endocrine system is the body's main control mechanism. This system is comprised of a number
of ductless glands that produce hormones, acting as chemical messengers that are secreted into the
bloodstream from particular organs to stimulate or inhibit physical processes.
When energy is congested in one of the Chakras, the functioning of the corresponding gland may be
altered, therefore creating imbalance in the production of hormones. By clearing the congested
energy from the Chakra, balance can be restored and the hormone’s production regulated.
The Chakras correspond to main nerve Plexus located along the spine in the central nervous system.
These key nodal points are clusters of huge numbers of neurotransmitter receptors. They are main
centers of communication exchanged between the mind and body.
Each main Chakra is connected to several organs and glands, through the nervous system. When
energy is congested in the Chakra, this communication can be partially blocked and the functioning
of the organs may be affected. When mental or physical stress continues over a period of time or
reaches a particular degree of intensity, symptoms on the physical level are manifested. Physical
symptoms are messages from the body, warning that something is off balance, usually associated
with current or past stressors, fears and unresolved emotional issues. What is happening in one’s
conscious and subconscious minds directly impacts the human body.
When the humans pay attention and change the way they are thinking, saying or doing things, it
affects the Chakras. When stressors from the past and current issues are released, the blockages in
the Chakras will dissolve. What results is a period of detoxification as the body begins to heal itself.
The detox effects can be mild to severe, depending on the damage that was done and the amount of
release that occurs, as well as other factors.
You are a powerful creator and where you place your focus creates your reality. When you live in a
state of inner peace, then the energy in your body will flow freely, allowing for maximum health.
When you shut down the natural flow of chi energy through fear, misguided beliefs, low vibrational
emotional outbursts, unresolved emotional issues and non-beneficial thoughts, it affects the entire
chakra system.
