| SECOND CHAKRA Your second chakra is situated just below your navel. It's known as the hara chakra, and is associated with the gonads. This chakra is identified with your center of emotions, and with gender identity. It is sometimes referred to as the Dan Tien in Chinese medicine. This is the place where you may find yourself feeling what others are feeling, or inadvertantly picking up other people's issues. Most healers need to keep a close eye on the second chakra, because it is so easy to accidentally accumulate other peoples' "stuff" there. Tune your second chakra by visualizing the color orange and humming, singing, or listening to the musical note "D", or "Re". THIRD CHAKRA Your third chakra is located at your solar plexus, between your navel and sternum -- just below your lower ribs. This chakra is associated with the pancreas. This is a powerful chakra, which can control and manipulate any incoming energy. This is also the energy center in your body which aligns your physical body with your spirit and intellect, and is your center for self-esteem. Tune your solar plexus chakra by visualizing a sunny yellow color, and humming or singing or listening to the musical note "E", or "Mi". FOURTH CHAKRA Your fourth chakra is located at your heart, and is associated with the thymus gland. This chakra connects your spirit to your physical body, and allows you to channel love energy both inside your body and out into the world. A compassionate sense of humor is a sign of a very healthy heart chakra -- you can see this in people who laugh at their own foibles with good-natured love. A healthy heart chakra allows one to keep healthy perspective even in the most troubling situations. Tune your heart chakra by visualizing the color emerald green and humming, singing, or listening to the musical note "F" or "Fa". FIFTH CHAKRA Your throat chakra corresponds to the thyroid gland, and is the center for expressive communication and making and keeping commitments. This chakra is the center for receiving clairaudient information (hearing voices), which allows people to hear psychic truths from seemingly mundane sources. You can tune your throat chakra by humming or singing the musical note "G" or "Sol", and visualizing the color of sapphire blue. SIXTH CHAKRA Your third eye chakra is related to your higher mental and intuitive abilities. It is also associated with the pituitary gland, and it is responsible for providing tremendous amounts of psychic information in a naturally clairvoyant manner. A healthy sixth chakra can ensure that you are on path and constantly finding support and valuable information in the most unusual and off-beat places. You can tune your sixth chakra by visualizing the color indigo, and humming or singing the musical note "A" or "La" (about 440 Hertz). SEVENTH CHAKRA Slightly above the top of your head is your seventh or crown chakra. This is the chakra which connects your energy body to Spirit, and is where you receive information about your life purpose and spiritual path. The crown chakra is associated with the pineal gland, and it provides you with the highest level of spiritual knowledge -- and a deep understanding of who and what you truly are. You can tune your crown chakra by visualizing the color violet and humming or singing the musical note "B" or "Ti". ENERGIZE YOUR CHAKRAS So how do you energize your chakras? There are many ways and many schools of thought which provide tips on how to do this. You can start with basic energy exercises such as meditation, prayer, yoga, and chi kung to help you familiarize yourself with storing and moving energy through your energy centers. I practice a combination of some yoga, some chi kung, some meditation and some prayer, because I find valuable aspects to a variety of energetic practices. There are many excellent books on these subjects, which you can request that your local library purchase and stock -- or which you can order online or from your local book store. You can also try out classes to get a first-hand sense of what advantages each technique has to offer you. Whichever method(s) you select, it is important to stick with it as a regular, daily part of your routine, since you will likely notice effects after several days or weeks of daily practice. Wonderful results can come from the seemingly simplest techniques -- such as meditation and/or prayer. The most proficient and skilled energy workers have been keeping a daily energizing practice for years or even decades! SHIFT INTO HIGHER LOVE When I finish tuning and energizing my chakras, I become more aware of their true nature as the power centers in my energy and physical body. Keeping them clean and clear is every bit as important to me as keeping my car running well, for my quality of life depends on them completely. Just as you might keep a schedule for your car to keep it tuned, and as you keep regular dental appointments, consider remembering to make time for yourself on a regular basis for chakra tuning. It doesn't have to cost you any money at all, and you'll find the benefits to be an excellent investment of your time and effort! What can you expect to change after you've gone through a basic chakra tuning session? You will find yourself moving more easily both through the three-dimensional world of consensus reality, and through other times and spaces that you can view in dreams and astral travel. You will also notice that you are much more attuned to everyone and everything around you, and that what you think and feel becomes reality much more readily. You will have a deeper understanding of who you are and what your purpose on Earth is right now. You will clearly see your path in life and will have strong intuitive hunches which prove invaluable at bringing you to the right place at exactly the right time. With time and practice, you will gain the ability to slow or stop time, to change the past and select between possible futures, and gaze into remote places. Most of all, you will be helping to raise consciousness everywhere as you raise your own level of clarity and brightness. The cords of light that connect between you and everything and everyone else will be brighter, and clearer. |
