The Chakras (Traditional)
There are 7 traditional chakras plus the foot chakra all aligned (generally) in a row from head to toe. Also the chakras pertrude from the body in three dimensions! If you were to look at them they would look like spinning vortexes.
THE CROWN CHAKRA:
The Crown Chakra is located above the head. It has a total of 960 spokes
and is the most magnificent of all the chakra to see when it is fully awakened.
It is the only chakra that possesses a secondary central whirlpool. This
chakra is predominately violet in color except for the central whirlpool
which is similar to golden sunlight. This chakra serves as the spiritual
connection for the individual. It is also the place where life-force enters
into the chakra system. In an undeveloped state this chakra is the same
size as the others. However as it grows and opens it will encompass the
entire head. This encompassing of the entire head is where the idea of putting
halo on various deities came from. It also is the place where the tradition
of a king wearing a crown comes. The crown symbolizing the fully open and
active crown chakra, indicating that the individual was ruling with God
and not just ruling with the human self. A missaligned Crown Chakra can
cause self centeredness, spiritual poverty and on a more physical side,
poor reality control, and low energy all the time.
THE BROW CHAKRA
The Brow Chakra is located between the eyes. It has a total of 96 spokes.
It is often seen as dark blue with or without violet and sometimes with
pink-rose color coming from it. This chakra is the command center for your
third eye. It contains your ability to see things beyond the normal physical
senses, and as such is a source of intuition. This chakra is one of the
two places where your spirit can leave your body in an out of body event
or in an astral projection. A missaligned Brow Chakra can cause: memory
problems, migraines, insomnia, neuralgia, high blood pressure, lumbago,
sciatica, low immune system and acute sinitis.
THE THROAT CHAKRA
The Throat Chakra is located at the neck. It has a total of 16 spokes. Predominately
blue but with alternating blue and green sections. This chakra is vital
to communication, not only external but internal. It is the translator of
internal feelings into external words and expression. A missaligned Throat
Chakra can cause: persistent colds or flu that take a long time to leave,
tonsillitis, acute infections, vocal and communication difficulties, and
under-active thyroid. It also effects the sternum, throat, and endocrines.
THE HEART CHAKRA
This chakra has 12 spokes and is golden in color but many times can dip
in various shades from golden yellow to pink or light orange. The Heart
Chakra is located near the heart. However this chakra can float and be off-center
to the left or right of the hara line. The optimum position should be dead
center the hara, in line with the other chakras. This chakra is very
important because it is the only chakra that can transmute the high-vibration
energy that comes from the upper three chakras into a form that can be used
by the physical body and on the physical plane. Healers (of all forms) use
this chakra to heal their patients, as it is the Heart Chakra that
transmutes the illness into a more dense form, which then passes through
the Foot Chakra and into the earth for processing. The term 'a broken heart'
refers to this chakra breaking off at the stem that connects the front
part of the chakra to the back. This break causes the heart chakra to shut
down causing that empty feeling we are all very much aware of. A missaligned
Heart Chakra can cause lung and heart problems (especially angina from over-exertion),
asthma, epilepsy, fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, depression, midriff pain
and claustrophobia.
THE SOLAR PLEXUS (NAVEL) CHAKRA
The Solar Plexus (also called the Navel) Chakra is located at the solar
plexus (midway between your belly button and the bottom of your rib cage).
This chakra is another one that has a tendency to float left or right,
like the heart chakra. Again its optimum position is in line with the hara
line and the other chakras. This chakra has 10 spokes and comes in various
shads of red but also has random spokes that are green. This chakra is also
one of the two places where your spirit can leave the body during an out-of-body
event or an astral projection. It is the most sensitive of the chakras and
the easiest chakra to send energy out of. A missaligned Solar Plexus Chakra
can cause problems in the: adrenal, nerve tissue, skin disorders (jaundice),
liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys (re: elimination/cleansing), arthritis,
hiatus hernia, diabetes, anorexia, body pH, and menopausal flushing.
THE SEXUAL (SPLEEN) CHAKRA
The Sexual (also known as spleen) Chakra is located just above the sex organs.
This chakra has 6 spokes each of which are a different color: red, orange,
yellow, green. blue, violet. This chakra supplies some (but not all) the
energy transferred during sex. A misaligned Sexual Chakra can cause:
imbalances in the endocrine system, muscle tension, poor vitamin C absorption,
thyroid problems, bed-wetting, nervous depression.
THE ROOT (BASE) CHAKRA
The Root (also called the Base) Chakra is located at the base of the
spine. This chakra has 4 spokes red and dark-orange in hue. This chakra
is also the home of the kundalini energy. The kundalini energy is the coiled
mystical energy that rises upward through the spine energizing all
the other chakras into full operation and potential. This chakra is also
the chakra of your animal instincts and all those things that go along with
survival. It is powerful (or it feels powerful) because the energy
here is in raw form and is most near to a physical energy. A missaligned
Root Chakra can cause things like: sexual or reproductive problems, circulation
and blood deficiencies, constipation, bladder and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
THE FOOT CHAKRA
The Foot Chakra is often considered part of the Root Chakra. However
in Hermetic philosophy we recognize this chakra as just as important as
the rest. The Foot Chakra is located in the arch on each foot (note there
is only one foot chakra, but it is located in the arches of each foot).
This chakra (when it can be seen, for it is very difficult to make out)
has three, two, or one spoke and changes in hue from a deep
brown, deep green, or a pale yellow. This chakra is responsible for
passing energy to and from your entire energy system into the earth. It
is your grounding point where body energy is transformed into earth energy
and the reverse. A good healthy foot chakra will help you to more easily
manifest things physically, as it is the transformer of your thought energy
into the earth system. A good Foot Chakra will also help you to stay physically
focused and on task throughout your day. If you are clumsy or fall frequently
it is a sign that this chakra is not working well. Foot massages can help
greatly here as well as walking barefoot in the dirt or sand.
