THE CHAKRAS II

The chakras are the subtle energy centres that coordinate and connect the physical, mental and energy sheaths or bodies with one another.

Prana (life force) flows through the chakras and is transformed into various frequencies required for the functioning of the body and its relationship with the environment.

Kundalini

Kundalini is a Sanskrit word that refers to the potential or latent energy that is located at the base of the spine. According to the Vedic tradition which describes Kundalini, it is a primal feminine energy, called Shakti, which is responsible for all manifestation.

The kundalini rises up the spine through nadis, channels through which subtle energy flows through the human energy field. The primary nadi, called the Sushumna, is a channel which runs up through the spine starting just below the first chakra and going to the crown of the head. There are two other channels which go up the spine, the Ida and Pingala. The Ida, carrying feminine energy is on the left, and the Pingala, carrying masculine energy is on the right. They alternate sides at the chakras as they rise up the spine.

 The translation of kundalini is “coiled snake”, the snake being a symbol of the potential untapped energy which is concentrated at the first chakra. This spiritual energy is activated through hatha yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. These activities cause the energy to rise upwards to open and activate the chakras (subtle energy centers in the body). As the energy rises up the spine it bring about changes in consciousness and enhance one’s spiritual awakening.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex.

These chakras, or energy centers, function as valves, regulating the flow of energy through the energy system.

The chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system.

The "Chakras" and the glands which correspond to their force are as follows:

Understanding of the human energy field or Aura.

A step to expand to expand consciousness can begin with the understanding of the human energy field.

The Human Electromagnetic Energy field and Its Relationship to Interpersonal Communication

 Energy Field by:

William L Smith

   Abstract: If there is one single concept that helps to explain much about human interpersonal communication, it is the concept that humanity has an inherent connection with its environment, the basis of which is human consciousness itself, something which is now quantifiable, at least on a theoretical basis. The electric charges coursing through the human brain are measurable by means of an electroencephalogram. Humans thus have an electromagnetic energy field. As a result of this, the human body could act as an aerial that has the potential for simultaneous transmission and reception of energy with its environment.
Keywords: consciousness, superstring, electromagnetic energy.

An increasing number of patients and health care practitioners rely on treatment and diagnostic systems that are based on the presence of a human subtle energy, or electromagnetic field. Such systems include acupuncture and energy healing.

      Aura



By sensing disruptions in the aura, practitioners are able to detect pain or illness. These therapies include Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, Qigong, and multiple other therapies falling under the rubric of energy healing or laying-on-of-hands. The human electromagnetic field (HEF) presumably exists as an oscillating invisible energy field correlating with both health and disease in the body. (Other similar "invisible" phenomena occur in the heart and the brain and are seen on electrocardiograms or electroencephalograms.) A further analogy would be that of electricity traveling through a wire, and the resultant electromagnetic field that it produces. In this case, the wire would represent the meridian and the electromagnetic field, the aura.
