The crown chakra, is one with the divine. A degree of no separation, with the creator. The third eye, is the understanding the duality within us, within others, in life, without judgement. Understanding that dark and light co-exist. Understanding the yin and the yang are equal. Understanding we were the both, the victim and the perpetrator. The throat chakra, is about communication, not just talking, listening too. The heart chakra is all about love , forgiveness and acceptance. The solar plexus, deals with ambitions, power growth and control. The sacral, below deals with the basic emotions and needs of life. The root chakra governs your basic survival, safety and sexual needs.
The chakra system, and what they govern and deal with, cannot be dealt in one stanza. Blocked chakras can lead to obstacles in life and illness of the physical body. Today, I'm touching upon one very small thing, only out of concern , my fellow light workers and the people who are attempting to walk this path.
Words are potent, words are powerful, words can heal. A lot of us have started chanting, we either recite or listen to mantras, shlokas etc. The reason I write this today, it to just bring a gentle reminder, use them wisely. Every mantra or chant is specific to certain chakras, they unblock, activate or speed up a particular chakra. Using them incorrectly and with an incorrect mind-frame can enhance problems rather than alleviate them .Any form of mediation or chanting, needs to be done either in a normal frame of mind or preferably in a positive state of mind.These two practises when done, in a negative state of mind, under duress, depression, anxiety will only multiply them many fold.
Take a look at your life. Make a note of where you feel stuck or what occupies your mind the most. If most concerns of yours, are around money, making a living, career, your problem is associated with the solar plexus or perhaps the sacral chakra ( depending upon the exact details). A chant that helps with your third eye or crown chakra will only enable you to detach from that problem. The problem will not find a solution. Even if you do not have a teacher around, Internet today has a lot of exercises, guided meditations and detailed explanations of both the chakras, symptoms and all, on a separate site you will find meanings of the chants, co-relate and only then devote yourself to it.
A lot of things remain in the realm of metaphysics, a time comes when someone devotes his/her time to do research on it, it then becomes a part of physics or "science". Even metaphysical practises, are a science, a certain protocol is important. It is important, just so that the desired result is the outcome. A few simple tips for beginners are...
1. Switch off all phones, mobiles, television, doorbells etc.
2. Start with simple breathing exercises.
3. Do a few simple stretching exercises
4. Think of things you are currently grateful for
5. Begin your chantings.
Chantings, can change your life.It is one of the various tools, gifted to us, its one of the most effective ones too....
