Okay, now we've gone through our virtues, we've meditated on each virtue, forgiveness, compassion, self acceptance and gratitude. And now we're ready to dive in a little deeper to the human spiritual experience. So welcome. Thank you. What's the name of this section? The name of this section is chakras and the Kundalini.

And so what we're going to talk about a little more as the human energy field and how that relates to our own personal spirituality. What are chakras? Well, before I get into talking about chakras, let me talk about Planet Earth for just a sec. So Planet Earth, the home that we live on, has an electromagnetic field that surrounds it. And what happens is that that energy from the sun comes in and enters the earth through our poles, the North Pole and the South Pole. And so we can actually see that electrical magnetic field in this part of the world in the wintertime and you don't that's called Not sure okay, it's called the Aurora.

Lisa in the north. It's called the aurora borealis or the Northern Lights, you can actually see the electromagnetic field of the earth. And so people are similar, because we have our own electromagnetic field, which is called an aura. Very good. And so that's and so our aura wraps around our body. It's an electromagnetic field, and you can actually photograph it with special photographic equipment.

And so, the chakras are centers of spinning energy within our aura. So they're not. They're not essentially physical, but they're kind of electromagnetic energy. And so the Shockers were first written about are the earliest writings of the chakra go back to the Vedic tradition, which predates any religion that exists today. So it's about 600 bc to 2000 BC. So they've been known about for a long time and the centers of spinning Energy Research assimilate and transmit, lifeforce energy.

And they each one of them reflects a certain aspect of human consciousness and their major players in a spiritual awakening. Okay, so the chakras are located in our on our spine, essentially, I'm going to have a, I'll have a little map up here and there's one in the summary section of, of this section. So if you go to the summaries, you'll see a little map there that shows you where the Shockers are located. So there's a little visual for you. But there are seven main Shockers that we have. So there's one at the base of our spine, which is visualized with the color red, which is associated with our tribe, our grounding and basically our survival instincts.

And then as we move up, there's one rate below our navel, which is its digitalize an orange and that deals with our sexuality and our creativity and things surrounding abundance or lack of abundance. And as we move up the spine further, the third chakra is in our stomach, this are in our solar plexus. The areas of consciousness that the third chakra deals with is power, your willpower and issues around authority and strengthen your own personal power. And as we go up next is the heart chakra, which is visualized with pink and green, either those two colors, and that's the that's the love chakra. It's also how we connect to other people, and deals with things like harmony, and Nate our connection to nature. And as we move up into our fifth chakra, which is in our throat and our shoulders, that's visualized with the color blue.

And that has to do with speaking our truth and communication. And as we continue to go up, there's one in our third eye or in the middle of our forehead, which is visualized with the color indigo blue and that has to do with our vision or like our psychic awareness. or things like planning animal. So it's like when you're looking into the future. And then our last chakra, or the seventh one on top of our head is visualized with the color, bright white, or yellow or violet. And that has to do with our connection to our higher self or our spiritual connection with whatever we visual or whether we perceive as a god or a higher power.

So those are the seven chakras in a nutshell. So one thing that's interesting is that when your chakras get out of balance, it can actually affect your physical body and so so you can actually sometimes feel it in your body. So, for instance, I was kind of browbeat as a kid, so I grew up being afraid of authority. And so when I got out into the working world into the corporate world, I was had bosses and as always intimidated and afraid of my bosses. Not because of the boss because it was something it was an imbalance that I had inside and each boss was a different person, but yet I had the same reaction to it. And so I would get knots in my stomach and just feel like I had like this gigantic vampire squid sucking my guts when I worked in a corporation so so my chakra there was a lot or maybe a lot of out of balance at that point because actually physically affecting my physical health.

So those are some examples of how an imbalance in your chakra system can actually affect your physical body. How can you bounce the shocker? Well, that's a very good question because that's what we're going to do in the meditation in in regard to this section, so you can go into deep states of relaxation relaxed and you can use the colors to visualize and balance out your chakras. We can actually feel your Shockers and let things go that are attached to those. And another thing that really helps to balance out your chakras is pure tone or sound. So when you go into a deeply relaxed state, and listen to sound that is the vibrates with the has the same resonating vibration as a particular chakra, then sometimes it can be quite effective tool for healing or releasing those imbalances within your chakras.

That's called sound healing. I'm not going to really get into it too much in this class, but it can be very, almost like magic sometimes the way it works. It's quite interesting. So you mentioned earlier this funny word called the Kundalini Kundalini. Yeah. So the Kundalini also comes from the Vedic tradition, it comes from India.

So what it is, it's the, the stored potential energy that is held in your root chakra. So there's this energy force held within your root chakra and during a spiritual awakening, sometimes that can release and it can be very powerful and very disorienting for some people. And it can it can bring on the onset of a spiritual awakening or you know, Lighting up your chakras, you can actually feel it moving through your body. And so when you have a Kundalini experience, if it's the first one you've ever had, you can have them several times throughout your life. But there's a series of things that you can look for to happen when you have a Kundalini experience. So, like when I had on this quite disorienting, I didn't know what was going on.

And it wasn't until later that I actually knew that I had a Kundalini experience because I could tick off all these things that happened and so so again, with the summary on this section, please check that out. So you can see the list of things that happen. So be doing more in this meditation. What we're going to do in this meditation is called a chakra cleaning exercise. And so we're going to go into a deep state of relaxation, and we're going to visit each chakra visualizing that color and hopefully you'll be able to feel the chakra as we go up your spine. And then once we've activated all your chakras, what we're going to do is calling up the Kundalini through using pure tone or sound.

And so you may or may not feel it move up your body but hopefully you will. And so that will be opening your energy field and preparing us for a spiritual awakening. So, thanks once again and let's go to the meditation
