Chakra Meditation & Healing | Seven Chakras

When the Chakras function well, the front and back parts are well-balanced, the Chakras have the right funnel-shaped form, they turn to the right and have the right size. When this is not the case, the Chakra in question will cause problems in the field for which it is responsible. To give an example: if the first Chakra does not work well, it may be that someone gets physical ailments, but it may also result in his losing his self-confidence. For such a person, it is important to start playing sports and do visualization exercises that stimulate his first Chakra.

Chakras can be impaired in various ways: they may be torn, they may too small, too open, or have a wrong shape. When this is the case, a healer will try to find problems that cause this unpleasant situation. Why does the Chakra suffer from spasms? What lifelong problem may be the cause of it? Many people have warped convictions or feelings that impair the Chakras. A conviction like "I am not good enough" will impair a person's confidence and with that, the first Chakra is affected. Another example: if a person thinks he is not creative, his sixth Chakra will be weak.

Chakras and their corresponding Glands and Body Parts

Chakras	Gland	Body Part

First chakra, (tail-bone, health)	adrenal gland	spine, kidneys
Second chakra (sex, emotions)	sex glands	sex organs
Third chakra (solar plexus, thinking)	pancreas	stomach, liver, gall bladder, nervous system

Chakras lie in the vicinity of the central nervous system and the endocrine glands. Through hormones, these glands regulate all production of chemical substances in our body. The seven main Chakras have their place in the physical body in those areas where the main ganglia are to be found. From these places, the Chakras distribute their energy. Look at the table to know which Chakra corresponds with which glands and which body parts.

The Auras and the Chakras

The Auras and the Chakra form the energy system of man, and they play an important role in the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of man. The better the energy streams through the body, the better a person will feel in all these areas. The American lady Barbara Brennan (healer, psychotherapist, and scientific investigator for NASA) is one of the best known people that has done research in the field of human aura.

Chakras and Meditation

Every chakra meditation is used for different healing processes. By means of practicing special Chakra - related Meditation Techniques, we can get an insight into working of our Chakras. We can find out whether the Chakras are blocked up, whether they do not function properly, whether they are overactive, and we can find out the factors that hinder the proper functioning of our Chakras.

Most chakra healing meditations are based on Visualization. Read more on our website about Visualization before you start practicing our special Chakra Meditations. However, keep in mind that Chakra Meditations are not part of the compulsory curriculum for anybody who wants to get involved in meditating. Whether Chakra Meditations appeal to you or not is a very personal matter. As a result, our advice is to just give this kind of Meditation a go and see if it does something for you or not.
