What is the Chakra system, and why is it important?

What is a Chakra anyway?
 

We have 7 main Chakras located in the photo above, with the corresponding colour associated with that Chakra. 

Chakras are described by as wheels of light that spin in different directions within each Chakra and are fed from the Cosmos as well as the core of mother earth. This could also be referred to as life force energy.

When a Chakra get clogged or blocked the wheels slow down, life force energy is choked or cut off and we can start to experience symptoms or dis-ease in our physical body, as described below.

The opposite can happen, they can be overcharged on hyper speed so to speak and that in itself can also cause imbalance in our physical bodies.

The key is to keep your energetic body clean and clear as possible so you have healthy life force energy flowing through your body to maintain optimum health.

Lets begin with one Chakra at a time to better understandโ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹ its function and purpose.  Each of the next 6 postings to follow will detail one Chakra at at time to give you time to integrate what you have learned.
 
Starting at the top of the head, this is known as the Crown Chakra. Also known in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, and represented by the symbol below.
 
The purpose of the Crown Chakra is to connect to Spirit, your higher self and your life purpose.  It is also a connection to the Divine.  Perhaps you have been struggling about your life purpose, or going it alone, well now you don't have to.
Caring for our Chakras is part of self-care, as it relates to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies that surround and are a part of us, and make up our aura.
 
When your Crown Chakra is balanced *(3) you will find the following qualities in your life:
  • Intelligence
  • Thoughtfulness
  • Awareness
  • Open-minded
  • Love and acceptance of the Divine
  • Recognize and receive Spiritual guidance
  • A sense of oneness

What kind of clues do we have whether our Crown Chakra is out of balance?

  • Problems with learning, perception, and spiritual understanding.
  • Epilepsy
  • Migraines
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Brain tumours
  • Colour blindness
  • Alcoholism
  • Nervous disorders
  • Neurosis
  • Insomnia 
  • Lack of faith to a higher power
So what can you do to resolve or lesson the effects of the above?  Start by opening up your Crown Chakra.   Please note that these may seem a little unconventional, but what have you got to lose by giving it a try?  So open your mind, literally, and give some of these suggestions a whirl. *(2) 
 
Remember I believe everything in the Spirit world comes down to intention, so be mindful of the intentions you set, even the thoughts you think are intentions.
 
  • Energize your food with your hands.  Simply place hands overtop of your food and send in love and light.  Give gratitude to this food that is about to nurture you and to all that had a hand in getting it to you.
  • Talk to the great Divine, the Universe, God, in whatever term is most comfortable to you.  Ask for assistance to guide you to the most possible good of all for what you need.  We have free will and choice to ask, or not, these are our gifts to take, or not.
  • Sound a bell or tingshs to shake up and clear any debris within your aura, and clear your Crown Chakra. 
  • Open your eyes, ears and heart for signs of Spirit all around you.  Become aware of the miracles that are taking place around you, your life is an incredible gift, as is this planet.  Be aware and give gratitude.
  • Take a timeout, one day of the week if possible.  Refresh, replenish your body, mind and soul.  Get out in nature and claim and feel your part in this vast Universe.  Give gratitude and feel the love surrounding you.
  • Everyday, bless yourself as you wake in the morning.  Take a deep belly breath and give thanks for another day to enjoy on this beautiful planet. Bless the day ahead of you and all the good you will experience.  Set that expectation and step into the day.
  • Volunteer at a local animal shelter.  Every creature needs our love and attention.  The more you give, the more you will receive.
  • Donate food and other items to the homeless.  Once again the act of love opens up your Crown Chakra as well as your heart.
As quoted from Sonia Choquette in her Chakra Balancing Remedy Guide.
 
Think of your Crown Chakra, as your crowning glory in these terms:
  • Light
  • Spirit
  • Radiance   
  • Compassion
  • Faith 
  • Transcendence
  • Healing   
  • Awakening

An important note.  The Crown represents and can take us to bliss, however you do not want to stay there to long, as we need to be grounded so we can live fully on this planet.  Spend some time in meditating with your Crown Chakra, then move onto another Chakra to keep you stable and balanced.  We will learn more next posting.

Maybe it's time to contemplate opening up your Crown Chakra with some of the ideas mentioned above.  Remember that lack of faith is a clear sign things are out of balance and not flowing as well as they could be.  Just contemplating this article and giving things a try is huge in itself, so give yourself a pat on the back for being open to try something new.  You have nothing to lose and perhaps everything to gain.  You won't know unless you try, and remember...
