According to the ancient Hindu scriptures, the body chakras are seven energy centers in human body located in its subtle within and in a vertical straight line starting from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Scientifically, the body chakras are linked to the major nerve ganglia from the spinal cord and thus these are energy receiving and transmitting life force energy centers of an individual which reflects the level of consciousness, archetypal elements, and developmental stages of man and is the sole cause for his physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual state and condition.
The first of the body chakras is that of the Root or Muladhar located at the base of the spine which stands for group identity. The strength of this chakra can be felt when you sing the national anthem for instance. Physically linked to the immunity system, bones, rectum and feet, any blockage in the energy flow results in problems thereof along with viral and epidemics.
After the Group identity in the Muladhar Chakra, the power of relationships and choice are given by the Swadhisthana Chakra. Located second from the base in the sacrum region, it is physically linked to reproduction and any blockage or energy misdirection thereof may results in diseases such as arthritis, ovarian cancer, etc. Psychologically, it teaches the lesson that after making choices one does not have absolute control on things and the fears of this chakra are those of loosing control, authority, power, money, issues with sex, addiction, etc.
The Manipura is the third of the body chakras from the base and stands for personal power where the concept of self and individuality develops since the time of puberty. While the advantages of this body chakra are self esteem, self respect, ambition and the like, there are disadvantages such as fear of rejection, criticism, obsession with physical appearance, etc. Proper channelizing of energies here will result in an empowered and successful personality.
The center power house of all the body chakras and the human energy system is the Anahata or the heart chakra which stands for emotional power and is the meeting point of body and spirit. While the primary fears here are those of loneliness, commitment, emotional weakness, betrayal, etc, the strengths lie in unconditional love, forgiveness, trust, inspiration and hope. The negative energy of this chakra has the power to not only emotionally wound but create serious ill health issues and thus the act of forgiveness is not only a spiritual act but a major physical healing act as well.
The throat chakra of Vishuddha stands for one’s power of will and this is where the struggle between the emotions and power of choice takes place. The fears here are that of loosing control over your own life and this body chakra teaches the lesson that faith is everything. It can be said to be the meeting point of the head and the heart.
One of the most spiritually important body chakras is that of the Ajna or the Third Eye Chakra which is located between the eyebrows of man. Opening of this chakra with the help of meditation helps one to get detached from all the subjective perceptions all around and gives the power to separate the truth from illusion.
The final of the body chakras, or the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of one’s head is one which houses all positive energies. It is aligned to the ultimate spiritual enlightenment and thus generates the energy which paves the way for devotion, inspiration, prophetic thought, mystical connection, psychic powers and in short the attainment of moksha, knowledge about the ultimate universal truth, experience of the soul’s immortality and omnipotence and realization of one’s true potential.
