Kundilini What is Kundilini? Many people have different ways of naming it, but basically it is the flow of energy through the chakra stem. This energy maintains the soul from birth to usually puberty when the chakra centers begin to open and prepare the soul and physical body for the work to be done in this life. In order for the soul to begin it's work on karma or spiritual lessons, the chakra that is in line or associated with that energy must be open and ready to join in the process. There are exceptions, for karmic reasons of course, but for most people, the Kundilini isn't ready to open until the physical body had developed and progressed to the point of puberty. (This will be discussed in a little more detail when we talk about chakras). Chakras Chakras are the energy vortices at a sub-atomic level of your spiritual body. They are the spiritual DNA holding the trace memories from past lives and act as the input centers for the cells of the body. The chakras are the physical manifestation of the soul in the human body. Simply put, the Chakras are the Soul in a physical sense. There are a few different schools of thought for how many chakras there are, their exact placement and the purpose or function of each. In the Tibetan practices there are 9 major chakra centers and multiple minor chakras. Each major center carries with it a special purpose, energy and color vibration. Turning that around, specific types of energy and other vibrations, such as sound and words, can also stimulate these major chakra centers. Edgar Cayce prophesied that by saying the Lords Prayer, all the chakras could be opened successfully for work. Where are the Chakras? The chakras can't be seen with the physical eyes, x-rays, MRIs or radio scans. They are sub-atomic energy centers located along the spinal column. Each vortex carries a special energy level that causes the chakra to spin and varying speeds. The slowest speed spin clockwise is the Root chakra. As you move up the body toward the head, the chakra centers begin to spin faster. The only centers that spin in a counter-clockwise motion are the Pancreas/Spleen chakras. Where as all the other chakras face forward like a round clock, the Pancreas/Spleen sit sideways in the body, almost like a barbell. The energies these centers give the chakra it's own unique focus or purpose within the body. When you are working on issues of choice, you're working with the Thyroid chakra. When you working on matters of transformation within your life, you’re working on the Solar Plexus chakra. Like the energy of a flame in a fire, the energy of a chakra also carries with it a specific color. This is a system based on Tibetan understandings and practices for several thousand years. This system locates the centers in the following way: Pineal (Crown, 1st vortex) What Do Chakras Do? As we progress through each embodiment, the lessons and energy we experience on a day-to-day basis will stimulate a particular chakra center. The chakras affect the regulatory flow of energy, which results in an effect of the physical body. Or simply put, the chakras energy manifests in the body when we're working on issues that relate to the purpose or function of that chakra. An Example: If you're working on matters of "will", such as choosing not to stand up for yourself and speak your mind, then you may experience disturbances in your throat. If you constantly holding back how you feel, or how you WANT to express yourself, you may develop a sore throat. The longer you ignore the lessons brought to you by this energy vortex, the more severe the disturbance in the physical body will become. The sore throat may turn into Strep throat and so forth. When you learn the positive force of the lessons you experience, and can move the spirit forward, the energy of the chakra works with you instead of against you. A person who can speak their will, without negative comments, can become a wondrous singer, for instance. How To Clear Chakra Energy: Contrary to popular belief, hold or possessing a certain kind of crystal, lighting a particular colored candle or burning special type of incense will not clear the adverse energy in or around a chakra. The essence of the energy within the chakra is based in your spirituality. You have created the situations that are currently present in your life giving you opportunities to learn lessons. How would you be served if all you needed to do to clear that energy is run down to the neighborhood park and find a piece of crystal? The objects can help aid in your mission to learn, but they can't take it away. If you'd like to work on clearing your chakras, then you need to look at what is present (and past) in your life and how that is being reflected in your chakra(s). The best way to move forward is to learn more about your true self. Use the tools and techniques to help you achieve your goal. |
