7 Major Chakras | Throat Meditation | Visualizations | The 7 Chakras and Gemstones | Essential Oils
| There are many systems wherein there are fewer and many
more centers described and used but for our purposes, we will only focus on
these. The Crown Chakra - Seventh Chakra Located as it sounds at the top of the head. This is where all knowledge from the Universe is drawn, "The All-Knowing" source. It's color is White. This is where the manifestation of the info from the "third eye" is gathered. The blocking of this renders you incapable of drawing upon the sources of knowledge and your own divinity. It is in this state that perception is altered. Time, good & evil, priority. This is where a sense of unity and wholeness of all things and the interconnecting relationships that exist between all things is acquired. The Brow Chakra - Sixth Chakra Forehead. The "Third Eye" allows you to see future events, auras, faeries, secret friends and allows you to penetrate other higher realms. The inner vision dispatch desk is what I call it! Its color is Violet. Children have this open and as adults we tend to "close off" or block this center. The Throat Chakra - Fifth Chakra At the center of the throat. Chakra of communication, mental, written and oral skills. Its color is Blue. It also is the chakra of the face you show the world. If you feel a tightness in your throat most of the time, it is a good indication that this area is blocked. As with a radio, tuning and reception must be clear to receive its signal. The Heart Chakra - Fourth Chakra Located at the Chest. Inner wisdom and knowledge, sending and receiving love, also the center of the secret of your life's' work. Here is the place where the ability to transform your life rests. It's color is Green with Pink. Opening of this chakra is essential to the seeker. Through this you meet your "guides" and "teachers". These will help you in and on your journey. "As in your heart, you will know" is what a cleared chakra is all about. The Solar Plexus Chakra - Third Chakra Located at the Navel. The center for movement. Aids in astral projection, objects bending or moving to your will. It's color is Yellow. The Chakra of intelligence, harmonizing of will/emotions mental clarity. If unbalanced, your energy can leak destructive forces or your energy can be "stolen". It is the first place attacked by unwitting and/or knowing people to whom you usually cannot say "no" to. The Spleen Chakra - Second Chakra Located three fingers below the navel at the Abdomen. The Chakra for the Earth connection, relations, identity, empathy and social interaction. It's color is Orange. A blocked chakra can make a person antisocial, poor sexual relations and dysfunction and incapable of expressing and feeling emotions. The Root Chakra - First Chakra Located at the Groin. Chakra of maintenance of our bodies and retains us in our present form. Center for combining the earthly and universal energies within the body. It is from this station that all other chakras can be opened to their fullest. Its color is Red. Birth, beginnings, renewal, self-reliance, and safety are attributed here. If blocked, paranoia, over-aggressiveness, self-destruction and low self-esteem can be attributed. This is the base of all the chakras. MINOR CHAKRA: Hands and Feet The four points of the Minor Chakras we will touch on are located at each of the hands and feet and they work in unison with their own. The Hands Chakra Located precisely at the center point between the thumb and index fingers. The seats of creative energy. They are the mechanical means of energy, brought in whenever we make or do something and also as a center for the healing outlet of many types of healing techniques. A numbing of or a feeling of cold hands could indicate a blocking of your inward and outward creative juices. The Feet Chakra Located at the center of the top inset or arch of the foot. Help to maintain our connections to the Earth energy and provides the maintenance of the earthly and cosmic energy which are pulled in by the seventh or Root Chakra. A vague, "spaced-out" sense or cold feet could indicate a closed feet chakra. Although we identify the characteristics as to the physical body part they represent they appear in the astral body and are located in terms of the physical for the purposes of which they are used. Energy directed toward a particular chakra in the astral body will have an effect on the physical as well. Sometimes it will be thrown out of alignment or "crack" due to psychological stress or trauma even those that are "positive" events. Anything that disturbs the normal functioning can have an effect on the chakra. Very often memories can become locked or stored in a chakra and physical as well as psychological problems can arise because of the "plugged" chakra. Clearing and cleansing these areas of the chakra can work wonders With the regular practice of some of the meditation techniques in our previous pages you can also modify those to "open" and "close" your chakra. Ordinarily, the chakra run on what can be described as "auto pilot". Like the regular flow of breathing the chakra are regulating the flows of energies into and out of your psychic system. By modification of the meditation techniques, you can learn to open and close these centers when needed. For example as in the Solar Plexus description above, the entry or the gate for the release of energies can be shut down if someone is asking for something you'd really rather not do or you wish to help someone who is angry or upset and do not wish to absorb those energies, you can "shut down" that center and be able to help objectively and not take the garbage vibes with you, or be able to say you'd really rather not or can't and NOT allow the resulting "guilty" feeling to invade and bury inside only to be all worked out and cleansed again. One of the hardest things to do and to make a regular practice of when dealing with meditations, chakra, auras and the magick within and around you, is the ability to "PAY ATTENTION". Sound like your dear old Mom? School days? In that sense yes but no too. What I mean is learning to pay attention to how you feel what you are really thinking and why? How is it enjoyed and why? How is it less enjoyable and why? As you work with these techniques you will find yourself doing this, not at first mind you, but over time it will be a natural habit. As you work on your true source, you will see this all aligns up beautifully and comprehensively. What Magick there is! http://www.enchantedencounters.com/chakra1.htm |

Visualizations top of the page
| Chakra Visualizations- Base --- In witchcraft_for_adults@yahoo.groups.com, "Amy Noel" <sarjenka74@p...> wrote: Originally posted by Aristri These visualizations are mean for opening the Chakras and achieving higher spirituality and increased ability in magic from them. To start these off, cast the circle, meditate and follow these directions. Focus on the area between your feet (some people prefer the anus area, however for grounding purposes, the feet work better for me) and imagine there is a large cave with a heavy rock in front of it. Now you are standing in front of this cave, the deep earthy colors of rock all around you. You know that what you want is inside this cave, but you only have to get through. You grasp the side of the boulder blocking the cave entrance, feel its gritty surface dig into your hand, and you push with all your might to the side. The boulder rolls clearly to the side. The cave is a tunnel, rich smelling soil on the ground, dull rock around the sides. As you progress down the tunnel, you feel and see a flickering amber light. On a pedestal at the end, is a ball of amber light which emits the glow. You grasp it and feel it work its way from you feet up through your body until it pours out of your head. You feel solid and invigorated as you withdraw from the light. Tracing your way out of the tunnel, you step outside again, making sure to close the boulder behind you. Now you have opened (and closed again) your base chakra. It is never good to leave you chakras open all the time, as it can result in energy loss etc. The base chakra can be used for grounding in meditations, and summoning energy through the earth. |
