Chakras ~ The Human Energy System

Introduction to the chakras



What chakras are and their psychological properties:

Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side.

The chakras can have various levels of activity. When they're "open," they're considered operative in a normal fashion.

Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. Our instincts would work together with our feelings and thinking. However, this is usually not the case. Some chakras are not open enough (being under-active), and to compensate, other chakras are over-active. The ideal state is where the chakras are balanced. To find out what the state of your chakras is, do the chakra test.

There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. Mostly techniques to open chakras are used. It makes no sense to try to make over-active chakras less active, as they are compensating for other chakras. To restore the compensation they'd be over-active again in no time. To stop them from compensating, the chakras they are compensating for must be opened.

THE SEVEN CHAKRAS:

THE ROOT CHAKRA

The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open, you feel grounded, stable and secure. You don't unnecessarily distrust people. You feel present in the here and now and connected to your physical body. You feel you have sufficient territory.

If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You'd easily feel unwelcome.

If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. You're probably obsessed with being secure and resist change

THE SACRAL CHAKRA

The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open, your feelings flow freely, and are expressed without you being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively. You have no problems dealing with your sexuality.

If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. You're not very open to people.

If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. You'll feel emotionally attached to people and you can be very sexual.

THE NAVAL CHAKRA

The Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. When it is open, you feel in control and you have sufficient self esteem.

When the Navel chakra is under-active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. You're probably timid and don't get what you want.

If this chakra is over-active, you are domineering and probably even aggressive

THE HEART CHAKRA

The Heart chakra is about love, kindness and affection. When it is open, you are compassionate and friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships.

When your Heart chakra is under-active, you are cold and distant.

If this chakra is over-active, you are suffocating people with your love and your love probably has quite selfish reasons.

THE THROAT CHAKRA

The Throat chakra is about self-expression and talking. When it is open, you have no problems expressing yourself, and you might be doing so as an artist.

When this chakra is under-active, you tend not to speak much, and you probably are introverted and shy. Not speaking the truth may block this chakra.

If this chakra is over-active, you tend to speak too much, usually to domineer and keep people at a distance. You're a bad listener if this is the case

THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA

The Third Eye chakra is about insight and visualization. When it is open, you have a good intuition. You may tend to fantasize.

If it is under-active, you're not very good at thinking for yourself, and you may tend to rely on authorities. You may be rigid in your thinking, relying on beliefs too much. You might even get confused easily.

If this chakra is over-active, you may live in a world of fantasy too much. In excessive cases hallucinations are possible

THE CROWN CHAKRA

The Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open, you are unprejudiced and quite aware of the world and yourself.

If it is under-active, you're not very aware of spirituality. You're probably quite rigid in your thinking.

If this chakra is over-active, you are probably intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your bodily needs.

Nice bit of fun

Yeah I thought so. I saw "56 questions" and went and no way then I did it and it was super speedy fast actually.

(I am also )

My results are secret.

The chakra points tell a lot about us. There are cameras that can capture the aura around you and light from chakra too.

It's all bollocks!

I AGREE.

People that say it's all bollocks have blocked chakras.
My advice? Take the quiz!

And I knew you'd say that.

Every time I see" Chakras" I think of Chaka Zulu, fcuk knows why.

It's the job of the person making an extraordinary, unorthodox claim to prove it, not the job of the skeptic to debunk it!

You aren't ready to be aligned. Not yet.

But soon.

My ying & my yang have regular showdowns. I wish they'd just truce up.

The Chakras are aligned with various nerve ganglions in the body. These nerve clusters deliver information to the body about stress and impending danger, and are responsible for the familiar fight-or-flight response. The third eye chakra corresponds to the pineal gland. Although these associations remain speculative and have yet to be empirically validated by scientific means, I personally believe they exist.

When a person is very stressed or anxious, I can actually feel that through the chakra points. I've been using Reiki to do this for over 10 years and I'm rarely wrong. That's my personal proof, to myself, though I don't expect anyone who's never experienced this or felt it to believe it.

Why on earth those on here being so abusive and demeaning of this, can't just put their opinions across in a civilised polite way is beyond me. If you disagree, or don't believe, just say so. No need to shout and be aggressive about it.

How do you prove to a blind man that the sky is blue? If they've never seen blue, how would you describe that to them? Ever met someone you love or dislike on sight? Ever spent time with someone you leaves you feeling emotionally drained? Ever had a hunch? Where do you think that's coming from?

I've long since learned that when people are ready, they are more receptive. They'll learn.

Good point, and even with normal, sighted people there are extra distinct colours in the electromagnetic spectrum not visible to us. One might think rainbow colours cover pretty much everything but they don't.   And that is not even  'superstition', it's  straightforward science. Animals and very small children can probably see these colours (and also hear notes  outside the normal human range frequencies) hence why they are said to have sharper instincts about strangers.

I don't think we're talking about chakras anymore ... anyway, I doubt the blind man cares what color the sky is too much -- if blind from birth, at least. I've never loved or hated anyone at first sight. Spending time with most people makes me feel emotionally drained, so ... I get hunches, and I think it's my mind working so fast that my thoughts are non-verbal.

That wasn't the question. So don't try to dodge it. How would you describe to a blind person the colour blue? The answer is simple. You can't. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that you can't see it.

of course the more realistic one is the Acupressure chakras with thousands of years of usage in chinese Medicine. I think this simplified spiritualist one is nonsense it does not match up to the physical body, while the accupressure points do match the nerve clusters and tendons on the body. 

I have had accupressure and accupuncture and it is at least as effective as physothreapy

The chakra points do correspond to nerve clusters, and they've been in use this way for centuries, so it's not a new age thing but something just as ancient as acupuncture and knowledge of the meridian lines.

Like other holistic methods of healing acupressure and acupuncture are not scientifically proven to work. I've been using both Reflexology and Reiki as a means of alleviating stress and anxiety in both humans and animals for years. When my old dog was reaching the end of his life, the only thing that would calm his restlessness at night was Reiki. The way animals respond to this kind of thing blows out the theory that it's all in the mind. You can't give an animal a placebo.

Horatio, I'm so glad someone else here can explain things that I know about when my brain is too fuzzy to find the right words.

Gave it a go:

Results from Chakra test

Root:	open	(44%)
Sacral:	over-active	(75%)
Navel:	open	(56%)
Heart:	over-active	(75%)
Throat:	open	(69%)
Third Eye:	over-active	(94%)
Crown:	open	(56%)

It's interesting isn't it sassy. I found mine quite accurate and very changed from a year ago.

@HT
not the one, eddie posted that is the simplified new age one for westerners

I got Accupuncture for tendon and mucsle damage at the doctors suggestion. completely covered as a medical bill.

I have also done a lot of study into this as part of 'Qi Gong' and can preform accupressure myself.

New Ager's gave them colours that's all. There are many chakras, but even the 'simple' ones are there.

You're very lucky to get a doctor who'll suggest you have something like acupressure. Over here, our doctor's would rather fill you to the brim with drugs.

you mean accupressure?

it is really just 'concentrated massage' and learning the pressure points of the nervous system. they are the same in martial arts which is why i started learning them but I am good at it and it does work so i have learnt more and more.

a really good one I find to releave the tension in base on neck is the the eyebrows. the inner points and the top on the ridge (highest part of eyebrow) appliy reasonable pressure and you should feel the muscles in the base of your neck relax.

some of them are quite logical like points allong the base of skull releave headaches. you can treat arm pain from the shoulder/collar.


you can find quite a bit about Qi gong, which I think is the central theory to this stuff. I'd describe it as a like Tai chi with more medical/scientific prinicpals to it's functions. (you don't just do the poses but try and understand the workings of the body)

http://www.energyarts.com/what-qigong

ACCUPUNCTURE, accupressure, Shiatsu, reflexology, Reiki, "Trigger Point therapy", certain martial arts pressure point moves...

All of these modalities are based on energy 'meridians/pressure points/Chakras' to some extent..

If all this "stuff" worked we would all be in perfect health !

I might be more cconvinced if there was compelling evidence that practitioners of yogi,etc had healthier , longer lives.
The most important things to stay well are diet, exercise and a positive attitude in life.

I often get headaches from the base of my skull and neck - it's tension. I thought you meant you stuck needles into yourself?
Thanks for the video though, I'll take a look.
