the CHAKRA SYSTEM

If what you think has an effect on how you feel, then it follows that there's a point of interface. A place where the non-physical communicates with the physical, the formless with form. That point is the physical sensation/reaction caused by your thoughts. Your emotions are the link between who you are in your formless state, or pure consciousness, and you in your formed state, or your body. In this way, your emotions can act as a guidance system as you navigate life wanting to point yourself in the direction of a happiness.

When your outer life is in harmony with your inner life, you experience the positive emotions of love, appreciation, joy, happiness, enthusiasm, etc. When your outer life is out of balance with your inner life, you can experience the negative emotions of doubt, worry, frustration, blame, jealousy, etc. Your emotions, then, can generally be categorized as either good or bad. If you are feeling good, you're headed in the right direction. And if you're feeling bad, something needs adjusting because feeling good is what we want.

Feeling good is creating heaven on earth.

Easier said then done sometimes, right? Sometimes it's really difficult to know which decision to make. In a culture that devalues intuition over compliance with external authority (religious, family and professional hierarchies, media image definition), how do we know what we should do? How do we develop the skills to make choices that increase positive outcomes over negative ones?

Which CHAKRA do you feel it in?

We can place focused awareness on each of the 7 Major CHAKRAS and observe the emotions that are activated as a result. These emotions act as guides to areas of emotional, psychological, physical, intellectual or sexual imbalance. Once illuminated, these imbalances can be corrected.

The CHAKRA System evolved out of observing physiological responses to particular emotional states. The emotion of love, for example, is associated with the physical heart because that's where we experience love. The CHAKRA System provides a developmental map that progressively examines 7 distinct states of being, love being one. The opposite ends of the System are solid matter at one end and pure consciousness at the other. Form and formless. The CHAKRAS in between are progressive variations from form to formlessness. We experience life as pure form and pure formlessness as well as everything in between.

Like people passing through progressive developmental stages as they age (infancy, childhood, teenager, young adult, etc.) the energy associated with each CHAKRA is built on the energy previously developed in the CHAKRA below it.

All 7 Major CHAKRAS taken as an integrated whole make up the
CHAKRA SYSTEM.

For us to have healthy physical bodies, we need to tune into how our body feels and make adjustments as needed to feel the way we want. If we twist our ankle, for example, we bring our attention to the area in pain and care for it so it starts to feel better. In the same way, our energy body needs to be healthy in order for it to function in a way that makes our life (inner and outer) feel better.

Knowing how to illuminate imbalances in the energy body is a subtle pursuit which requires a willingness to and a curiosity about bringing focused awareness to your inner experience. The CHAKRA SYSTEM provides a systematic approach to examining your life to illuminate areas in need of adjustment to bring them into balance leading to a more pleasant life experience.
