OPENING THE CHAKRAS / THE AURA
CHAKRAS
Chakra
is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. Chakras are vortices of energy that, by
virtue of their spin, pull energy into themselves like a whirlpool. After the energy
gets drawn into your body, it flows through the energy field to your organs.
Whenever your energy field is disrupted your organs don't get the energy they
need and they become weak, eventually allowing for infection and other physical
problems. Different views are claimed about how many chakras are in the human
body. There are anywhere from five to one hundred chakras, however it is
generally agreed upon that there are mainly seven:- spine [tail bone], spleen
[mid area], navel, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. Whatever the
number, all these wheels are perpetually rotating, receiving and directing
energies. [In Reiki certain chakras are used to assist the client in their
healing.]
THE AURA
The
aura consists of seven levels [corresponding with the seven chakras], each
successive level coming out from the body is said to vibrate at a higher
frequency than the one before. If your auric levels are strong and healthy you
experience life to the fullest; if any are weak, the corresponding life experiences
will be weak. The seven levels and their corresponding chakras, colours,
meanings, lengths and shapes are:-
7th
auric level
- crown chakra - white - represents divine mind, serenity - extends three to
three and a half feet out from the body - is oval in shape.
6th
auric level
- third eye chakra - violet - divine love, spiritual ecstasy - extends about
two and a half feet out - is oval in shape.
5th
auric level
- throat chakra - blue - divine will within - extends about one and a half feet
out - is oval in shape.
4th
auric level
- heart chakra - green - relationships with others - extends about fourteen
inches out - is oval in shape.
3rd
auric level
- navel chakra - yellow - mental or rational mind - extends about ten inches
out - is oval in shape.
2nd
auric level
- spleen chakra - orange - feelings or emotions about yourself - extends about
six inches out - fits first level aura like a second skin.
1st
auric level
- root chakra - red - physical sensations, painful or pleasurable - extends
about two inches out - fits body like a second skin.
The
aura is the vehicle for all psychosomatic reactions. From a healer's viewpoint,
all disease is psychosomatic. A balanced functioning of our auric field is
necessary to maintain our health. It is at this level of our being that our
psychological processes take place. The energy field is much more important to
health and the growth process than was previously suspected. Energy events
within the auric field are primary and always precede a physical event. Any
illness will show up in the auric field before it manifests itself in the
physical body. Since the physical body arises out of the energy field, an
imbalance or distortion in this field will eventually cause a disease in the
physical body that it governs. Therefore, healing distortions in the field will
bring about healing in the physical body. To heal the field one simply learns
how to restructure, balance and charge it.
Therapeutic
Touch works specifically on the aura which helps the body to heal. Reiki works
on whatever part of the body requires healing [including the aura]. The results
from both are basically the same, it's just the approach that is different.
