Chakras

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place or not. I'm feel some real spiritual restlessness, and a friend of mine has suggested that I try chakra-centred meditation. Anyone know anything about this? (is this even in the right forum????)

i've heard anodea judith's wheels of life is an excellent book on chakras, and she does have a tape of guided chakra meditations available. i'm reading the book now.

This is because in order to make any real progress, you must access your energy centers within. Then you can go from working within to working "without"......

Right


There are, I believe, 5 "chakras" in the body which are basically energy centers. I know I posted this site in one other thread but I feel it is needed here also. Go to astralpulse.com and read the articles on chakras and meditation.

Hi, just do a search online, some websites give more than others, but they will all cover the basics, and then take that and mold it however you see fit, which ever affects you and helps you the most. I found for me, when learning about chakras, it was a very growing time, but because of my knowledge, or growing knowledge I should say, my growing energy, I was lead astray by the dark, and I made the choice to continue to keep my heart closed, one not directly related to the other....Try grounding, communing with the earth and the animal kingdoms around you, sometimes they can teach, and so eluquently too! and help you with wisdom and blessings upon your path. Learning about channeling, connecting with ancestors (spirit guides) and the aura helps as well. :)

Hope this helps
Blessings

Here's my advise - find a solution to your restlessness.

I don't for a second believe you will find it in Chakras.

Find out what it making you restless and deal with it at the source, I can not see how Chakras will do anything for you.

Chakra meditation is for those who have blocked Chakras but I find that it requires action to unblock them, not meditation.

For example - the throat chakra is to do with communication and a blockage hear may result in muteness, you may clear your chakra but if you don't get talking then there's absolutely no point. Meditation only works in conjunction with action.

Seriously, just figure out what's bugging you and sort it out.

Blessings

There are seven in total.

Supposedly, there exists a certain kind of music which soothes and helps to open specific chakras. I have been unable to locate it, but my friend used to have it, and said it was incredible (more or less).

I got a book about chakra's for xmas... check out kundalini yoga. Kundalini means something like uncoiling of the snake...or the uncoiling of the energy at the first chakra. there are different types of yoga exercises that deal with each chakra, the point is to raise the energy up the spine towards the seventh chakra.....its said that when the 7th chakra has been opened you have reached enlightenment

The Kundahlini is, indeed, very powerful energy and one should not be afriad of it! It is related to sexual energy flow and can flow like hot fluid lava if the meridens are opened within the body, especially the ones throughout the torso....It has the ability to erase the past, clear karma and create a new type of living within the one who has awakened it (it is related to fire and oh so many people go through life with never even once felt it....)

Namaste

Meditation on your chakras can help clear the energy and help with the body's energy flow. Focusing on certain blockages can help relieve some levels of anxiety and confusion.
