Inward Revolution Creates Outward Revolution

The 7 Chakras

Through inner attunement, the ancient yogis were able to perceive the energetic basis of all matter.  The seven chakras or energy centers comprise their model of the energetic or subtle body.  Each chakra is located along the spine, starting at the base and running upwards to the crown of the head. These "whirling disks of light" each radiate a specific color and spiritual quality, and are associated with corresponding psychological, physical, and emotional states necessary for the development of the whole person.

Though the chakras have not been confirmed by Western science, with the spirit of inquiry, we can explore this model through asana, meditation, and other practices --and ultimately incorporate what we find useful for our own growth and self-understanding. 


The First Chakra: Root
The first Chakra, Muladhara (root), is located at the base of the spine. Its color is red and its issues are survival, stability, and self-sufficiency.
 
The Second Chakra: Sensual
The second Chakra, Svadhisthana (sweetness), is located at the lower abdomen (between belly button and pubic bone). Its color is orange and its issues are sexuality, creativity, relationships and emotions.
 
The Third Chakra: Power
The third Chakra, Manipura (lustrous gem), is located at the solar plexus (between belly button and bottom of rib cage). Its color is yellow and its issues are personal power, self esteem, willfulness and energy.
 
The Fourth Chakra: Love
The fourth Chakra, Anahata (not struck), is located at the heart (center of the chest). Its color is green and its issues are love, compassion, acceptance, and trust.
 
The Fifth Chakra: Communication
The fifth Chakra, Vissudha (purification), is located at the throat. Its color is bright blue and its issues are communication, inspiration, expression, and faith.
 
The Sixth Chakra: Perception
The sixth Chakra, Ajna (to perceive), is located between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose. Its color is indigo blue and its issues are psychic, emotional and mental intelligence, and intuition.
 
The Seventh Chakra: Universal Connection
The seventh Chakra, Sahasrara (thousand petaled), is located at the crown (top) of the head. Its color is white or violet and its issues are devotion, inspiration, selflessness, and spiritual understanding.

In a way, it is the way our brains respond to our environment. Our brains respond to sensory stimuli with what's called a cortical evoked response.

A secret to meditation I learned to clear the mind and body....

Hum and vibrate your sounds to begin the process stressing the first two syllables and especially the first syllable of the hum that associate to each Chakra and at the same time think of a Mantra (a peaceful or healing thought during meditation and vibration of your Chakras)... keep your eyes closed comfortably... hold as much air as you can to start and when you master it you can do all Chakras with one breath... the key is slowly exhaling the humming sounds for each Chakra.... Practice…Continue
