co!ti!"#$......

$o soe degree, ost people already ha#e an intuiti#e, culturally defined sense of the spiritual

 psychology of the chakras. Visual artists, for instance paint 3halos4 of energy to represent the crown

chakras of spiritual teachers or ystical indi#iduals. We are failiar with eupheiss that tend to

locate energy in particular areas of the body. We speak of ha#ing a 3broken heart4 and feel actual pain

in the chest when we lose soeone we lo#e 5heart chakra6. We critici7e others for being 3unrooted4, or

3pulling the rug out fro under us4 5root chakra6. When a situation threatens our self8confidence we

 feel 3butterflies in our stoach4 5solar ple%us chakra6, and get a 3lup in our throat4 when grief

reains une%pressed 5throat chakra6.

 Scientists are now confiring these intuiti#e sensations fro the perspecti#e of 9uantu physics. $hey

are able to easure the presence and speed of energetic #ibrations within the -*+ 8 the #ery #ibrations

that we intuiti#ely sense as our chakras and that clair#oyants 3read4 when they scan the huan energy field. Energy healers and edical intuiti#es belie#e that if one can anipulate these energies and

soehow change their fre9uency or patterning it is possible that physical, eotional and spiritual

healing effects ight be obser#ed.

/or those who can clair#oyantly 3see4 energy, disease, distress and physical or eotional pain ay

show up as blockages, disruptions or cloudiness in the noral patterns of the chakra. $hose who do

energy healing can help pinpoint and identify these disruptions and train their clients to do the sae. (y de#eloping an inner awareness of the chakras it is possible to begin a process that includes

transforing and reconfiguring these energies. +dditionally, by increasing awareness of the spiritual

 psychology of the chakras it is possible to help achie#e a ore balanced, energi7ed and eaningful life.

 Root Chakra 5located at the base of the spine6

At birth, we experience an acute sense of disorientation and disconnection. Not only are we cut off from the

physical security of the womb, but existentially we experience separation from Spirit as we find ourseles

embodied in a human form. As the umbilical cord is cut we find ourseles thrust into a dangerous, insecure andulnerable world.

!ur human incarnation means we hae a dense, sensate, physical body made up of carbon and hydrogen " the

constituent elements of the earth. #n our attempt to re"establish a sense of spiritual connection, the root chakra

becomes actiated at birth " a connection that flows downward, and energetically connects deeply with the

$sacred matter% of the earth. &e cannot surie if we do not feed and nurture the physical body " making our

relationship with the earth both necessary and integral to our surial. Part of that surial means also that we

belong to a family or clan " a group that can ensure that we are fed from the earth and protected from theelements. 'arly cae dwellers soon learned that they could not surie without a sense of belonging and

protection from the family or $clan.%

#f our early needs for security and belonging are not met, if disruption and fear are the norm, or if our connection

to nature is tenuous, we end up feeling unrooted, anxious and insecure about our right to be here. Psychological

symptoms may surface " neuroses, chronic anxiety, fears of becoming ill or dying, feeling ulnerable, ungrounded

and afraid of getting one(s hands dirty.

&hen root chakra issues arise, they can be addressed through compassionate self"healing techni)ues. These

include finding ways to reconnect to the earth " $rooting% in nature through walks, gardening or camping*

honoring the sacred in the 'arth " +#ndigenous people hae much to teach us here* caring for the earth through

addressing litter and pollution* healing estrangement from family or friends or -oining groups or associations that

foster a sense of belonging and security.

$he Sacral Chakra

%located at the base of the belly and se"ual organs&

 a#ing established a secure connection to physical reality, the ne%t energetic challenge for

the newborn arises in the second chakra 8 the centre of relationship energy. $he second

chakra holds the energy of all relationships we encounter in our li#es 8 the nurturing or

re:ection of our parents; the gi#e and take of sibling ri#alry; the de#otion or betrayals of

 friendship; the intiacy and #ulnerability of se%ual attraction; and the ability to produce and

nurture our own children.

 "f we do not learn to connect to others through eotional intiacy we reain alone,

estranged or dissociated. When our early needs for intiacy and lo#e are thwarted throughabandonent, abuse or neglect, we find it hard to trust and begin to doubt our ability to

attract lo#e or find passion and :oy in life. Second chakra issues include a#oidance of

eotional intiacy; accepting or perpetrating abuse in relationships; se%ual dysfunction;

 parenting probles and a lack of life passion.

 ealing the second chakra in#ol#es learning to recogni7e and respond to our wounded 3inner

child4; unco#ering and healing painful eories of abuse or neglect; learning to forgi#e;

and releasing blae and guilt. "t eans gently finding the courage to open oursel#es to

eotional intiacy. 2ften a wise and trusted counselor or healer can facilitate this process.

 -e#eloping self8copassion and self8nurturing is key.

$he eart Chakra %located in the chest&

 +s we coe to e%perience oursel#es as safe, connected and respected, the energy begins to shift

 fro a focus on the indi#idual self towards a ore generous and altruistic outlook. We notice

that we feel grateful for the opportunity to li#e life, and want to gi#e back. $he heart chakra

now becoes acti#ated as the centre of lo#e, copassion, de#otion and generosity. $he

direction of energy in the body begins to o#e upwards in its desire to reconnect to the greatersource of -i#ine lo#e. We begin to e%perience uni#ersal copassion 8 the sense that we are

connected to all beings on the planet. We ay feel our hearts touched by iages of young

children a world away playing aongst the rubble of war. We know and ha#e a sense of caring

both for oursel#es and others and feel copelled to take this lo#e out into action.

#f howeer, we hae not experienced security, intimacy and self"esteem in the lower chakras, the

heart chakra will remain closed and shielded. #ssues such as lack of compassion, anger, hatred,

stinginess, being oerly concerned with self protection, fear of loing too much, grief and heart"

ache may all indicate wounding in the heart chakra. ealing the heart chakra inoles paying

attention first to the wounds that are still lurking in the lower chakras. /earning to loe

ourseles and our shadow places is the first step towards creating a sense of loe and

compassion for others. The gift of forgieness allows deep healing within the heart chakra "forgieness both for ourseles and others. 0isuali1ation, deotional chanting, yoga, prayers and

2uddhist 3etta or Tonglen meditation are powerful ehicles for opening the heart. 3any

people find that compassionate encounters with the suffering of others is a means to open their

own heart. #mportant also is becoming aware of our own diine nature and beginning an

intimate, sacred process of surrender to the 4iine order.

$he $hroat Chakra %located around the throat, mouth and ears&

 +s we grow into deeper awareness and opening of all the chakras, we also begin to e%pand our ability to tap into

the #ibrational energy field around us. $he patterns of sound are our connection to the world. $he throat chakra is

the centre for aking sense of these #ibrations, for counication, self8e%pression, creati#ity, speaking our truth,and at the subtlest le#els, telepathy, channeling and clairaudience 5ability to percei#e sounds outside the physical

real6.

 "f we encounter repression or attepts to stifle our innate ability for self8e%pression, the throat chakra closes down

and energetically appears blocked. $he natural flow of #ibration is ipeded 8 energy goes in but cannot go out. We

are all too failiar with the childhood a%i 3children should be seen and not heard4, the silencing of woen=s

#oices in patriarchal systes and the stifling of creati#e talent for fear of ridicule. 2ther threats to the throat

chakra include keeping shaeful faily secrets, li#ing with chronic fear, being yelled at or shaed into silence.When the throat chakra is closed, all other chakras find their e%pression stifled too.

$he key to healing the throat chakra is finding the place of our own truth and relearning the ability to e%press

oursel#es. We can gi#e oursel#es perission to cry, to #oice our fears, share our stories and engage in acti#e

listening with others. We can honor self8e%pression through finding creati#e outlets 8 writing, art, gardening or

usic. /or soe people it is iportant to reduce the pollution of #ibrational noise through editation or silent

retreat.

 +s the throat chakra begins to heal, the grosser #ibrations of sound no longer create interference. We begin to tune

into ore subtle layers of #ibration, including the de#elopent of psychic abilities such as telepathy and

clairaudience and opening to di#ine re#elations such as those e%perienced by ystics through the ages.

$he $hird Eye %located around the eyes, forehead and the brain&

$he third eye is the center of intellect, inner knowing, discernent, wisdo, and clair#oyance

5intuiti#e seeing6. "t is the place where we de#elop our 3witness consciousness4, the ability to stand

back and consciously obser#e and ake choices in our life.

$his is the place where we create our beliefs and our :udgents, and where, if we encounter fear8

based or authoritarian belief systes, we coe to doubt our own knowing and sense of oursel#es.

Confusion, negati#e beliefs, blindness to the truth, irresponsibility, close8indedness and ental

rigidity result. We ay feel cut off fro our eotions and becoe o#erly attached to epirical,

dogatic theories and beliefs.

 ealing the third eye eans first of all a willingness to see. "t includes opening to the truth beyond

what we can physically see, and allowing intuition and inner knowing to becoe our priary teacher.

 ealing includes accessing our fear8based belief systes, :udgents and criticiss and being willing

to let the go. "t also eans a gentle opening to the essages of the heart.

 Self8healing techni9ues include de#eloping inner awareness and witness consciousness; looking for

the sybolic iportance behind e#ents or interactions; recording and analy7ing dreas; practicinge9uaniity, detachent, and surrendering :udgents. +s we becoe aware of the deep spiritual

9ualities of our own nature, we o#e into a place of greater clarity, wisdo and acceptance in the

third eye.

$he Crown Chakra %located at the top of the head&

 +s we grow into deeper awareness of our spiritual nature, our energy is drawn increasingly upward in its

desire to reconnect to the source of our (eing. $his process of spiritual awakening or enlightenent is

 facilitated through opening the crown chakra. Energetically, an open crown chakra appears as light

eerging fro the top of the head.

$he crown chakra indicates the e%tent to which we are willing to li#e our li#es connected to Spirit and li#ing

 fro truth. "t allows for inspirational and prophetic thought, ystical connection and de#otion, ecstasy,

transcendence and liberation fro identification with suffering.

When we are distracted or o#erwheled by the difficulties and pain of life, we ay e%perience loss of faith

in a copassionate -i#ine force. "ssues of doubt, disbelief and depression cloud our inner knowing and

o#ershadow the belief that we are spirit beings. We falsely identify with the finite world and feel 3e%istential

angst4. Soe ay e%perience a period known as the 3dark night of the soul4 iortali7ed by the poetry of

 St. >ohn of the Cross. /or soe the sense of isolation and spiritual depression ay see unbearable.

2pening and healing the crown chakra in#ol#es trust, surrender to -i#ine lo#e and coitent to spiritual

 practice. "t eans li#ing in the present, fully conscious and open to the e%perience that life offers. 0ystics

through the ages ha#e turned to prayer, editation, yoga and silent retreat to support their spiritual

 :ourneys. + trusted spiritual guide or teacher ay offer copassionate facilitation along this path.

$he chakras are an elegant window to the soul. $here is uch we can learn through deepening our

understanding of the 9ualities, attributes and spiritual nuances of these aa7ing #orte%es of energy in the

huan body.
