THE CHAKRAS
The word 'chakra' is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'. If
we were able to see chakras (as many seers and psychics, in fact, do) we
would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating.
And each chakra rotates at a different speed.
One of the reasons that many people fall ill is because their chakras
become out of alignment, they are 'imbalanced' or there are blockages
which restrict the free flow of the body's energy.
There are seven major chakras (and dozens of minor ones). For
simplicity I intend to concentrate upon these seven chakras. They are as
follows:-
| First Chakra |
- base of the spine |
| Second Chakra |
- spleen, or sexual centre |
| Third Chakra |
- solar plexus |
| Fourth Chakra |
- heart |
| Fifth Chakra |
- throat |
| Sixth Chakra |
- third eye |
| Seventh Chakra |
- crown |
These chakras all play an extremely active role in all our crystal
healing treatments.
As already mentioned any 'imbalances' that exist within any chakra may
have profound effects upon either our physical or physiological bodies. We
are able to use our quartz crystals to re-balance all our chakric centres
and once the chakra has been properly balanced then our body will
gradually return to normality.
| First Chakra - |
The first chakra is located at the bottom of the spine. This is
where the kundalini is situated. This chakra is associated with
the colour red. It is a very important centre as it has so much
effect upon the rest of the body. I find personally that I am able
to release a great deal of the physical stress and tension of the
nervous system by working on the base chakra with my quartz
crystals.
|
| Second Chakra - |
The second chakra is located within an area bounded by the
spleen and sexual centre. This chakra is associated with the
colour orange. Usually people suffering from sexual blockages need
healing here.
|
| Third Chakra - |
The third chakra is the solar plexus and is located just below
the navel. This chakra is associated with the colour yellow. There
is often a great amount of physical energy and power within this
chakra or emanating from it. This chakra is also the psychic store
- house of mystical energy and is the energy center used by
materialization mediums for producing ectoplasm and other psychic
manifestations.
|
| Fourth Chakra - |
The fourth chakra is the heart centre. It is located in an area
in the centre of the chest, between the two nipples. The colours
associated with this chakra are green and pink. I use the heart
chakra to help people suffering from emotional traumas and
problems in their relationships. I find that by using a piece of
rose quartz I am able to help release their inner emotional
tension and trauma.
|
| Fifth Chakra - |
The fifth chakra is the throat centre. It is located in an area
which corresponds to the centre of the throat. The colours
associated with this chakra are either blue or turquoise When
people suffer from headaches (perhaps migraine) and tension within
the neck and shoulder muscles I find that often the basic cause is
that the throat chakra has become blocked.
|
| Sixth Chakra - |
The sixth chakra is the third eye. This chakra is located
between the two brows on the forehead. The colour most associated
with this chakra is purple. When helping people to develop their
own spiritual intuition I find that amethyst, sodalite, lapis
lazuli or sugilite are ideal stones with which to work.
|
| Seventh Chakra - |
The seventh chakra is the crown centre. This chakra is located
on the top of the head. The colour associated with this chakra is
white.During any crystal healing session this chakra needs to be
open. It is the chakra through which you obtain the highest
understanding and the highest knowledge.
|
To balance the chakras I use the following technique. First I have my
patient lying down on their back.
I then place two quartz crystals on the third eye chakra, points facing
downwards. Two quartz crystals I put on the palm, points upwards; two
quartz crystals on the breast area, points upwards; and two quartz
crystals placed on the top of the thighs, point upwards.
If the patient lies quietly on his or her back for about 15 minutes,
the chakras will quickly re-align themselves. |
