Chakra overview
A.
The Chakra system
1.
There are seven major and several minor chakras, which exist on many
planes simultaneously.
2.
The chakras are created by the intersection of two major vertical
currents.
3.
The lower chakras are of equal value and importance to the upper
chakras for human beings at our present level of development.
4.
The chakra system describes a pattern of evolution and that we are
presently going from the third level to the fourth.
a.
We are moving through the third chakra of power through energy into
the heart center
b.
Heart will be the ‘New age’ and a balance between the upper and
lower chakras
5.
The chakras also correspond to colors, sounds, deities, dimensions
and other subtle phenomenon.
6.
The system has value for personal growth and use in therapy.
7.
These seven levels are proportional to the possible number of planes
in a similar ratio to the seven colors of the rainbow and the
spectrum of electromagnetic waves. The chakras are merely the
vibrations that we can perceive with our present “equipment” just as
the colors of the rainbow are all that we can perceive with the
naked eye.
8.
The chakras are in constant interplay and can only be separated
intellectually.
9.
The chakras can be opened through various exercises, through
meditation, acupuncture points, bio-feedback, and general
understanding, thus leading to a more profound state of
consciousness. This
state of consciousness is obtainable by anyone.
