Life consists of balancing the good and the bad. Or the Yin and Yang as one would say. Often, life throws a curve ball at us that creates a dilemma or a situation where we go off track or at worst we never recover from and end up in a negative situation both physically and mentally that is never recovered from. To understand why each of us either progress in life or suffer at the hands of fate, we need to look at the seven chakras of the human body.
The seven chakras are the main chakras in the human body. These create the overall ‘life balance’ picture for each of us where the chakra individually and all together when combined as a whole can show us as a human being why we are feeling each day as we do or are physically functioning in the way we are in our daily lives. The balance or imbalance of each chakra can reflect what needs to be done or eliminated potentially from our lives in order to live and maintain a balanced life of harmony and prosperity. Below is a brief outline of how each chakra can influence your life in the way you feel or how you are functioning as a person on a day-to-day basis and also tell you the parts of the body it is associated with.
The Crown chakra is mostly concerned with:
The unity or separation issues. This is our root with our father. Not just our earthly father, but our Heavenly Father is included also.
If there is tension in the head, that means that there is some form of tension in a specific part of the conscious mind. The person may feel like they are hiding from everyone and not seeing what is truly in their soul. This is the hardest part to clarify. Accepting the truth about one's situation can be mind-reeling until that mind can take time to meditate on the issue and finally accept it.
If doing what made all of us happy worked, it would be a great life. The counter here is if we continue to do something that makes us unhappy, it can become a matter of our health becoming worse.
The colour that goes with this chakra is Violet.
The Brow chakra is associated with:
The spiritual view and the Being within. This is also the unconscious mind that directs our actions and our life. From here, we can become aware of the motivation behind our actions.
ESP is associated with this third eye chakra as well. It is the set of all our inner senses integrating with our outer senses.
The element here is the Inner Sound. This is listening to your own self without the outside physical world involved.
The colour associated here is Lapis Lazuli.
The Throat chakra correlates to:
That part of the mind that expresses and communicates. It can be any form of communication that the person is comfortable doing – Art, music, painting, sculpture, and poetry.
This chakra also encourages listening to one's own intuition and following the voice that leads you. After a while, you will find the Universe supporting you in all that you do.
Parts of the body associated with this chakra are throat, shoulders, arms, and hands.
The colour associated with this chakra is Sky Blue.
The Heart chakra is associated with:
Life’s relationships and perceptions of love from people around us – Spouses, children, siblings, parents, and friends.
The circulation of blood through the heart and lungs are associated with this chakra as well as the thymus gland that helps to control the immune system.
This chakra also correlates with someone having difficulty breathing. The difficulty is either breathing in or out as with love. Should you let the person go or stay in your life a little longer or let them go?
These types of people also do not like to be touched a lot. They are quite sensitive and so this tells us something is wrong with the heart chakra.
Even when getting a back rub from a trusted spouse or friend, they do not enjoy it and so they sit there and wait for it to be over wondering why they went through with this. The person rubbing the persons back in this instance may catch those feelings and be able to relate those feelings given off to the Heart chakra.
The Solar Plexus Chakra has to do with:
Our feelings of power and control.
If your Sacral chakra is clear, you are quite comfortable with who you are. If it is closed however, your self-esteem has been broken down.
The pancreas, liver and gallbladder are also associated with this chakra.
The sense of sight is also controlled here. Nearsighted people may have insecure feelings about the world around them. Farsighted people see the world though anger.
People with astigmatisms see the world with a lot of confusion. These people usually have poor self-esteem and need to be pushed to get where they can go, whereas those with a clear chakra accept themselves for who they are.
The pancreas is the key organ for this chakra. Diabetes develops when the pancreas is not working correctly. Could it be that Diabetes is some emotion that is kept hidden and not shown to the world? Anger? Shame? Embarrassment? These emotions create a safety line to keep you from feeling what you need to and dealing with it.
The Sacral chakra correlates to:
The parts of our minds that deal with food and sex. It is about what the body wants or needs, and what the body finds pleasurable.
Parts controlled by this chakra include the reproductive system, the abdomen, stomach, spleen, skin, muscular system, the face muscles, and the lumbar region in the back.
The colour for this chakra is orange.
Taste and the element of water are associated with this chakra as well.
If someone does not have a clear chakra, they may be afraid to go out in a boat or go swimming.
They may also have no appetite or enjoyment of food as their taste will be bland. This goes back to what this chakra controls in the body. It also is key as to whether the person is willing to feel their emotions or let them stay hidden inside. Then the digestive system will go awry.
Everything has a consequence once our chakras become unaligned.
The Root chakra correlates to:
Our survival, security, and trust. This deals with issues of finance, shelter, and job.
The person is secure and grounded in the here and now if the chakra is open.
Insecurity and fear mean the chakra is blocked.
The parts controlled by this chakra include the legs, the skeletal system, and elimination system.
We also need to find out what the symptoms are and when they started as this will take us back to the original problem.
The colour for this chakra is red.
This chakra is also the one that keeps us grounded to Mother Earth.
It also represents the relationship between us and our own mother. If you were raised by a loving mother, you should have a clear and open chakra. But if you were abused or neglected, this chakra may be blocked. Thus, your relationship in your early years becomes a model for security and home into the future years.
If any of the individual chakra in one’s body are either damaged or imbalanced, then it is up to us as individuals to get some therapy, support or bring about change in our lives to improve one’s life and ultimately repair the affected chakras. Once change or improvement occurs in the affected areas of one’s life, then you begin to see a change in the affect chakra that associate to those issues or an improvement in the way the chakra functions and ultimately the quality of life that one lives improves as well. Therefore, at any stage in our lives we need to maintain ‘balance’ to maintain healthy chakras and healthy lives. When both physical and mental needs are met then there is a result of a positive and happy outlook for the life, we each lead.
