ENERGY CENTERS OF THE BODY
Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient
India and China, have traditionally regarded body structures and the life
processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway
between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human
body, representing the flow of life energy and, in some sense, conduits for
that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western
science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person's
biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and
psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital
functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras.
These can be defined as "whirlpools referred to," and in Indian, they
are considered "energy bursts" or "wheels."
The process of energy transformation takes place precisely in these centers. Vital energy, along with the blood, circulates around the meridians in the chakras and fuels all the organs and systems in the human body. When circulation in these meridians becomes stagnant, the human body becomes more susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventive method designed specifically to combat such stagnation is Chi Gun, an ancient Chinese method of self-healing that activates energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release energy themselves by massaging specific areas related to the various chakras.
The Vedic canon mentions 49 chakras, of which seven are basic; 21 are in the second circle, and 21 are in the third circle. According to the Vedas, there are many energy channels that lead from the chakras to different places. Three of these channels are basic. The first, called "Shushumna", is hollow and is centered in the spine. The other two energy pathways, "Ida" and "Pingala", are located on either side of the spine. In most people these two channels are most active, while "Sushumna" remains stable.
The seven basic chakras in the body of healthy persons rotate at high speed but slowdown in times of illness or with ageing. When the body is in harmonious balance, the chakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy, causing various disorders.
The first root chakra, "Muladhara", is located at the base of the spine in the tailbone area. Life energy, which is at the core of a strong and healthy immune system, is stored in this chakra. It is impossible for a person to get sick, grow old, or even die before exhausting their stores of this vital energy. The will for life is governed by Muladhara. It is also responsible for bones and joints, teeth, nails, urogenital system and large intestine. The first signs of Muladhara vitiation are unreasonable fear, fainting, lack of security or faith in the future, foot and leg problems, and intestinal disorders.
Disrupted activity of the Muladhara Chakra leads to lack of energy, digestive problems, diseases of the bones and spine, and nervous tension, among others.
The second chakra, "Swadhishthana," is located at the level of the sacrum, three or four fingers below the navel. This chakra governs the pelvis, kidneys and sexual functions. We also feel the feelings of other people through this chakra. The symptoms of malaise of "Svadhisthana" are kidney problems, cystitis and rheumatism.
The third chakra, "Manipura," is found in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for the storage and distribution of energy produced by digestion and breathing. It is responsible for vision, gastrointestinal system, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and nervous system. Symptoms of a stable "Manipura" are as follows: increased and persistent anxiety, as well as stomach, liver and nervous disorders.
The fourth chakra "Anahata" also known as the
heart chakra is located in the chest area. We generate and receive love through
this chakra. It governs the heart, lungs, bronchi, hands and arms. Symptoms of
stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalances.
The fifth chakra "Vishudha" is located at the throat layer and is the center of analytical skills and logic. This chakra maintains the skin, hearing organs as well as the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include lack of emotional stability, cervical discomfort, sore throat, difficulty communicating, and esophageal and thyroid disorders.
The sixth chakra "Adjna" is located between the eyebrows and is known as the "third eye". This is the throne room of the human brain. "Adjna" circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person's "third eye" is no longer working properly, people may notice mental decline, headaches and migraines, earaches, olfactory disorders, and psychological disturbances.
The seventh chakra, the "crown", is located on the top of the head and represents the apex of personal energy vibrating at the highest frequency. It is considered a spiritual center and physical entrance to cosmic energy. A stagnant "crown chakra" can lead to a reduction or lack of inner wisdom, as well as a lack of basic intuition.
With a basic knowledge of the first seven chakras, we can
address the question: "How can we use this information to locate the
causes of our troubles and problems and, with the help of Eastern medicine,
learn to control the functioning of the chakras ourselves? “
From the perspective of Eastern Medicine, our health
depends on the distribution of our energy awareness information field. A lack
of energy inevitably leads to disease. According to Tibetan medicine, the only
difference between youth and old age, sickness and health, is the difference in
the speed at which the vortices in the energy centers of the chakras spin. If
these different speeds were balanced, then the elderly would be rejuvenated and
the sick healed. Therefore, the best way to maintain health, youth and vitality
is to restore and maintain the balanced movement of the energy centers.
The easiest way to keep your chakras in balance is through a series of physical exercises. Yannis calls these not just exercises, but rituals. These rituals allow the body to sculpt its energy centers to a desired level of function. These seven rituals, one for each chakra, must be performed together each morning or, if not possible, at night. Skipping rituals can unbalance your energy distribution, so for best results, miss no more than one day per week. Daily chakra rituals are necessary not only for physical rejuvenation, but for success in all areas of life. "Once you learn how to channel your energy, you'll also be happier," concludes Yannis.
Another method of keeping the chakras balanced and in their optimal half-open state is meditation. The methods of meditation are universal to the human experience; they have been accumulated over the centuries through many different cultures and have proven their value in bringing calmness, clarity, equanimity and transcendence to despair. People who meditate regularly are generally calmer, more secure, happier and more productive human beings. They are more effective in their everyday life as they fully utilize their mental and physical potential, abilities and skills. Too often, we humans fail to realize the great latent powers that are not yet awakened in our bodies. We must learn how to revive and use them. This can be achieved only through meditation. The Eastern men of wisdom, who considered meditation a vital necessity, stumbled upon this discovery more than 1000 years ago. He learned to influence his internal organs and control his metabolism with the power of his mind. Meditation is to the mind what exercise is to the body; mental strength can be built just like physical strength. Just like in athletics, it is important for a person to train his body, similarly it is important for a person to train his mind through meditation.
The best time to meditate is early morning, especially at
dawn. Do not meditate when you are sad, agitated, desperate or ill, as these
intense emotional and physical distractions make an enlightened state of mind
impossible. For an effective meditation session, it is better to arrange
undisturbed silence of a quiet, clean room with flowers, or soothing sounds of
Mother Nature - near a lake, river, waterfall, forest or fields. Many different
mental practices, which have their origins in historical traditions, fall under
the general heading of "meditation". These paths of mental
development may include emotional and intellectual aspects and may also be
coordinated with specific movements.
