What Are Chakras?
Chakras are non-physical organs that transform raw life energy into more subtle, and useable, forms of energy, of a different type. The chakras do not, themselves, contain energy. Raw energy is drawn up from the planet, by the minor chakras in the legs and feet, and fed into the main chakra system.
The major chakras are situated at:
- MASTER: Base chakra (base of spine, between anus and genitals)
- Sacral chakra (slightly above the sacrum)
- Solar Plexus chakra (1 hand-span above the belly button)
- MASTER: Heart chakra (center of the chest)
- Throat chakra (base of throat, above where it joins the chest)
- Brow chakra (exact center of forehead)
- MASTER: Crown chakra (whole top of head above the hairline)
They are best imagined as roughly the size of the palm of your hand, except for the crown chakra, which is much larger.
Let's move on with the Solarplexus Chakra:
THE SOLARPLEXUS CKAKRA
Earth, water and fire. With our bodies grounded and our feelings
graceful, we now shift on to control, power and determination.
This is our third chakra, a yellow lotus of ten petals, to be found at the
solar plexus—the place where we get those butterfly feelings at the
time when we experience a scared feeling or incapable situation. Its
element is fire—fire—that branches out and renovates a substance into
liveliness, generous of brightness and tenderness. This chakra is a
symbol of our "get up and go," our deed, our determination, our
energy, and our intelligence of individual force. Its Sanskrit name,
Manipura, represents “radiant gem." We can imagine of it as a
shimmering yellow Sun, shining in the course of the center of our
body.
On the bodily feature, the third chakra sets of laws for metabolism, the
procedure whereby we turn food (stuff) into liveliness and
achievement.
Digestion difficulties, appetite dilemmas, hypoglycemia, diabetes,
ulcers, or dependence on stimulants (such as caffeine) are all
correlated to an out of order of the third chakra. Weight issues may
also be a signal that the body is not as it should be revolving its
matter into energy.
We can also estimate the physical condition of this chakra by
investigating our body formation at this level: tense, hard bellies,
hollow diaphragms, or huge potbellies are all signs of third chakra
overload or shortage.
Investigating your connection to the belongings of fire can give added
evidence to the character of your third chakra. Are you recurrently
cold, bodily or psychologically? Do you get excited, hot- raged? Is your
approach speedy and vigorous, or unhurried and tired?
When the third chakra is blocked down, one may experience
exhausted, frightened, unstable, become quiet, or reserved. There is a
terror of captivating dangers, meet head-on associates or concerns,
taking custody, and with all this, a short of force. There may be too
much honesty and not enough amusement, simplicity, or enjoyment,
all of which help the third chakra unlock and calm down. Happiness,
from the chakra below, helps formulate the fire affectionate and
trouble-free; without it, our fires are cold and hard.
If the chakra is too wide open, then we have a sort of intimidate prime
example —someone who always wants to be in charge of, to
overshadow, to search for authority, reputation, aspiration. As the
lower chakras in universal are more ego-oriented, third chakra surplus
can make a person egotistic or self-centered.
A suitable perception for a in good physical shape equilibrium in this
chakra is the model of the combatant — established tough, continuing
in touch with point of views, tackling only when suitable and silently
upholding a wisdom of supremacy. A hale and hearty third chakra can
take on a task and conclude it, take on jeopardy and not be bound by
strictness, or act in the position of management without command or
self- enhancement.
In the third chakra we came across desire. Desire is the energizer for
the determination, the delight contained by our body providing power
to choices made by the intelligence. Fire is the sparkle of life that goes
up in flames from determination to accomplishment. Fire is the flash
that lies connecting the poles, and the third chakra generates authority
by uniting the polarity brought in by the second chakra, just as
electrical energy is made by the mixture of polarities. Having made yet
one more step in the direction of awareness, we now moderate our
requirements and intuitions with facts, making choices that are then
put into act, again merging the extremity of mind and body.
Power, then, is seen as an action of grouping, of combining jointly
fractions to construct a superior totality. When we combine and unite
all the parts surrounded by us — our bodies, our feelings, our dreams,
our information, and then we come into view of the complete and
commanding.
A first-class regulation of thumb for motivating the third chakra is to
get your power to be in motion. Jogging, yelling, or beating a pillow
can help you release up.
Exercise
Initially and primarily, be sure you have a lot of open windows in your
resting area; not a crevice at top and bottom, but large open windows.
Use a partition to avoid draughts, if essential.
When you wake up in the morning toss the whole thing wide open; lie
down completely on your back with stretched out arms and no cushion
and light wrapping or, what is superior, none at all. Loosen up from
head to foot; close your mouth; take gently a deep and slow breath,
filling the lungs steadily as possible all the way downward; hold the
breath as extended as you can without stressing; then see how very
gradually and efficiently you can let the breath out. Pay very specific
consideration to this. See how gradually and bit by bit you can exhale
the breath. Now, “get your breath” if you need to – as you certainly
will if you are unaccustomed to deep breathing – and then do it all
over again. Repeat this five to seven times. Acquire about four
seconds to inhale, eight seconds for holding and as many as possible
for exhaling. Perhaps you cannot hold the breath so lengthy at first;
keep in mind not to strain. Smooth, easy, steady – these are the first
fundamentals. Putting into practice will lengthen the breath. In the
beginning I could not inhale longer than two seconds, hold three and
exhale three or four; and my heart beat as if I had applied myself
immensely. It was three months before we could take five consecutive
breaths such as we have illustrated to you.
If you are a man, or a woman who is reasonable as much as necessary
or lean sufficient to wear no corset, replicate this work out two or
three times each day, for all time in the same location and with the
clothing loosened. And after humble at night repeat again. Then
charge yourself to sleep silently, breathe completely and wake reenergized
at the usual hour.
If you have a particular search in which you wish achievement, keep in
mind it when you are captivating these exercises. At the same time as
you are breathing in a mouthful of air you are unenthusiastic,
accessible; while you are holding the breath you are balanced standing
by; while you are breathing out you are optimistic, happy. You are
giving out life to your power – to all who are less abundantly urbanized
than yourself, to your atmosphere in common, to your industry, to
whatsoever you are paying attention in. Then as you breathe out a
gasp, extend forward your hands and take breaths life into what you
wish. You can grow acquaintances, good-looking ambiances, money,
loving thoughts, and wisdom – anything YOU WILL, by this put into
practice.
The Solar Plexus is the place of sentiments. By appropriate work out of
the whole breathing equipment you may increase such power over of
the Solar Plexus that fury, anger, confrontation, unhappiness,
hindrance and be afraid of being as strange to you as are the
uncomfortable movements you made use of to make when you were
first studying to walk or eat. All these unpleasant emotions are due to
holding back the Solar Plexus.
Until you accomplish something in setting up a tendency of feeling
good you will have, as you have had heretofore, periods of despair.
These will slowly but surely expand less deep-seated and be more with
pleasure degenerated. When you feel manually rising down in the
dumps, for no matter what cause, break up the inclination as rapidly
as possible.
Here is the way to do it:
Take your clothes off if doable; if not, untie your garments; lie down
flat upon your back with arms stretched and without pillow; let go of
the whole thing emotionally; breathe in leisurely through the nostrils a
full breath; hold stable a second or two; then drive the breath abruptly
into the upper part of the lungs; hold there a second or two and then
rapidly throw all the breath down as far as achievable, at the same
time crying out spiritually to the Solar Plexus, “Wake up! Wake up!!”
Grip the breath down a second or two; then slowly but surely let if
runs back until the lungs are consistently filled again, hold an
immediate, and then see how very bit by bit and effortlessly you can
exhale the breath. Do this not over three times at one work out and
only when you are unhappy. Then rise and be in motion as if you were
going anywhere and meant to get there. Get involved in what you
have to do. The next time you think about your gloominess you will
speculate what makes you feel so contented and full of quiet go.
These instructions seem complicated, but after a trial or two and a rereading
or two they will virtually do themselves, so simple and
pleasing will you find them and their results. Never mind if your heart
thumps a fragment when you first try any breathing work out. It would
beat just the same after any new and energetic work out. Just be calm
and continue. This exercise correctly continued in will advantage or
restore to health any operative heart illness, as well as sickness of
lungs and throat. In fact, there is hardly and illness of the human
structure which cannot be cured in this way, if put into practice is kept
up on a daily basis or over and over again for a long a sufficient
amount of time. Keep in mind that the sheen from your sun center is
to your body what the shine from Old Sol is to plant life and planets;
and these workouts establish in your solar center the habit of shining.
Woodchopper Exercise
Stand with feet placed steadily on the ground, knees to some extent
bent, heels about two feet apart. Lift your arms at the same time over
the head with hands united. Arch back slightly. Making an "ah" sound
as you move down; move backward and forward the whole upper
portion of the body descending by bringing your hands amongst your
legs and from side to side. The movement should be even and speedy,
giving out as much strength and influence as is possible. Let the hum
be full and loud. Do again five to ten times in a conference, and feel
the energy break throughout into your upper body. This exercise is
also an excellent anger release.
