In this lesson, I'll be talking about what the chakras are and what they look like the cause and effects of blocked and overactive chakras and about the elements, seed mantras and mudras. In the following videos, I'll be going in depth with the individual chakras, but I wanted to start with what the chakras are and how they work as a whole first. The seven chakras are energy centers that lie along energy channels, absorbing and admitting energy. Each one holds a very specific vibration and has a very specific purpose. six of these energy centers are located along the spine and up into the head. The seventh chakra, the star swara, or the crown chakra is located just above the head and it sits like a hill Hello, connects to us through the Bindu area on our head.

The word chakra means wheel. They are often described as having pedals or spokes. But this description is symbolic, as the ancient species didn't believe that the chakras were real, that they actually existed in the body. They were only used for meditation purposes. Quote, the drawings of the chakra is made by the Hindu Yogi's for the use of their pupils are always symbolic, and bear no relation to the actual appearance of the chakra, except that an attempt is usually made to indicate the color and the number of petals. In the center of each that's drawing.

We shall find a geometrical form a letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, an animal in two deities, one male and the female. And quote, throughout the centuries and into modern time, we've learned that the chakras are real and not purely some balik true that they aren't physical things in the physical body like Oregon's, but they do actually exist. They exist in the subtle body. They are spinning energy centers that process and distribute energy entering them through the different naughties. each chakra operates at a unique frequency, and they transform the frequencies into different sensations, namely thought, emotion and physical. And rather than having pedals or spokes, they refract subtle energy that the brain interprets as colors.

Quote, the Shockers do this in the same way that the eye refracts light, when different frequencies of light which enter the brain are interpreted by the brain is different colors, the chakras by reflecting subtle energy, in effect, break it down into particular impressions that make an impact on the person in question. Although the chakras are not physically a part of us like our organs are, they can still have an effect on our physical body and have physical associations with specific organs and endocrine glands. physical problems are often the result of a blockage in the energy flow in the chakra system, causing the organs or glands to not function properly. These blockages are created by bad karma, which are unfulfilled desires, stress, fear trauma. When these blockages occur, the chakra can spin sluggishly, or even appear to stop spinning all together. When this occurs, we can experience symptoms such as headaches, sore throat, and digestion issues and in some cases, more severe symptoms, such as cancers and other diseases.

Just as a subtle body can affect the physical body, the physical body can affect the subtle body. Quote, mistreatment or accidents to the physical body also affect the etheric body, since it must employ its energy to repair the physical body. If due to miss treatment of the physical body, the etheric body is overworked. The authentic vitality is drained and the etheric body is unable to properly transmit impressions made by the mental and emotional bodies. The person in this condition seems to be mentally and emotionally unresponsive. It becomes clear that the physical body and the subtle bodies must all work together as a team.

This can be accomplished when their vibratory rates are in proper alignment with each other. Just as the strings of a piano must be tuned so that the notes are in harmony with each other. In quote, the shock reds can also become overactive in the same way They can become blocked through bad karma. For example, an overactive Root Chakra may be caused by a person feeling like they aren't having their basic human needs met, and unfulfilled desire, causing them to feel fearful and anxious to act out impulsively, and go into survival mode. Quote, the chakras act like a series of valves in a system connecting a water tap to a garden hose. Once the tap is turned on, the water should flow smoothly through the system.

But if there is a kink in the hose, analog is to a blockage of energy, or if any of the valves are too open or too closed. This affects the proper functioning of the whole unit. By maintaining an open and smooth flowing channel of energy through our chakras, by freeing ourselves have the mental or emotional traumas that can cause blockages we can preempt The onset of physical disease in quote. each chakra is connected with one of the elements, earth, water, fire, air, ether, light, and space or cosmic energy. These elements are associated with the plains of survival, emotion, will, compassion, self expression, wisdom and spirituality. Each element has its own seed of mantra, which consists of a single syllable or word.

Even if you don't know what it means, chances are you've heard the word ohm, and that it's connected to yoga and meditation. Ohm is the seed mantra for the third eye chakra and the element like these montek sounds are powerful tools that can help tune our mind and body to correct energy resonance, change the flow of problem In our body and remove energetic blocks, mood dress, or hand gestures that can help us liberate block energy in our chakras and noughties, as well as balance our prana each finger represents one of the five elements. Some represents fire. index finger represents air, middle finger represents ether, ring finger represents earth and the pinky finger represents water
