Balancing and Cleansing Chakras
Posted: Sat May 14, 2011 11:00 am
Your body’s energy system is extremely powerful and should be taken seriously. The journey of energy upward through the chakras is spoken of as “kundalini rising”. According to Hindu tradition, when you are spiritually awakened to the Divine and your Higher Self, kundalini energy pierces each chakra from lowest (Root/1st Chakra) to highest (Crown/7th). The person is then said to have achieved enlightenment. It is the discovery and appreciation of our Higher Self and finding the God within us that is the ultimate goal of the journey through the chakras.
The concept of open or closed chakras is an oversimplification since there is really varying degrees of openness that can be experienced in different chakras. Even though we may be able to assign some illnesses, ailments, and emotional/mental imbalances to the chakras, there are interpretations that defy categorization and require intuition for understanding.
Red (Root) - Orange (Sacral) -Yellow (Solar Plexus) - Green (Heart) - Blue (Throat) - Indigo (Brow) - Violet (Crown). The 1st Chakra (Root) governs Physical Needs and Security. The 2nd Chakra (Sacral) governs Sexuality, Emotions, and Desires. The 3rd Chakra (Solar Plexus) governs Power. The 4th Chakra (Heart) governs Love, Forgiveness, and Compassion. The 5th Chakra (Throat) governs Communication. The 6th Chakra (Brow) governs Intuition and Reasoning. The 7th Chakra (Crown) governs Spirituality and Understanding.
Both color and sound affect the chakras, especially when used together. Each of the chakras or energy centers is associated with a specific tone of the musical scale and with a specific color. Certain music and tones can help heal energy imbalances in the chakras by assisting the body to release unwanted thoughts and feelings and to come into its natural state of balance and harmony through deep relaxation and entrainment.
When the energy in a chakra is deficient, it can be treated with color visualization of that chakra's color or the opposite color called the antidote color to create balance. If the energy in the chakra is clearly excessive, it can be treated with the antidote color as it is visualized into the chakra as thought energy. For example, if a baby’s skin is too red, it is overly excited and could lead to conditions such as heart troubles and high blood pressure later in life if it becomes habitual. You can help the baby and mother to relax by encouraging them to wear blue clothes, listen to soothing music, bringing in blue flowers, using blue light in the home, and other “blue” techniques.
Quartz crystals amplify, transform, store, focus, and transfer energy. Crystals may have profound effects on the organs, tissues, and cells as well as the circulatory, endocrine, and metabolic systems. When thought energy interacts with a crystal, those thoughts are changed to harmonic forms, which change brainwave frequencies and can alter consciousness. Thus, positive intention or affirmation combined with crystals can provide wonderful healing results.
There are many ways to balance the 7 chakras. Below is a few links about how to do this.
