What is a chakra?

A chakra is a spiritual energy centre found in the human body. There are seven of them located vertically through the middle of the body and they control the psychological aspects of our being. The centres are identified as:-

• base;
• sacral;
• solar plexus;
• heart;
• throat;
• third eye; and
• crown.

Each spiritual energy centre is illustrated on a chart by a specific colour, starting from red at the base moving through orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and violet at the crown.

Because a chakra is a spiritual energy centre, it can easily be disturbed by your own emotions, thoughts, words and actions; by physical changes in your body; and by the thoughts, words and actions of others whether they are near you or on the other side of the world.

Energy exists in what could be termed an "unlimited ocean". This term creates an image or awareness of a never ending connection between all that exists. Therefore, as there is no defined separation anyone or everyone's thoughts, words and actions anywhere in the world can affect you energetically without you even being consciously aware of it.

When you consider this concept of an "unlimited ocean", it will give you more insight into taking responsibility for your thoughts, words and actions and the potential impact they have not only on yourself, but others.

Each chakra is linked to a particular aspect of the psycho-physical/spiritual body. If there is an energy blockage or misalignment of the chakra, then this can manifest emotionally and more significantly physically in your body.

They operate on various levels and can be under-active, over-active or normal. The centres in the lower half of the body are instinctive and the higher centres mental.

My example: a life time of the throat chakra being under-active resulted in four thyroid diseases (physical) and difficulty in communicating what was in my heart (emotional).

To compensate for this, the crown centre became over-active - thinking too much, engaging in unreasonable spiritual practice, internalising, and ascending beyond the body to escape conflict.

This imbalance and not being fully present in the body greatly contributed to the development of these diseases.

The body cannot sustain imbalance without creating disease or dis-ease in some way, shape or form. Don't you wait too long before balancing your energy centres.

You can balance your energy centres by doing a simple chakra meditation.
