Chakras: An Inbuilt Growth Detector

CHAKRAS:
AN INBUILT GROWTH
DETECTOR


LOCATED WITHIN OUR ASTRAL BODY ARE SEVEN VORTICES OF ENERGY
CALLED CHAKRAS THAT HOLD THE SECRET OF OUR EMOTIONAL, MENTAL, AND
SPIRITUAL MATURITY. THROUGH BALANCING THE CHAKRAS AND ENERGY NEEDS
THEY REPRESENT, WE GROW UNTIL WE ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT.


The common understanding of chakra system is that it is the
path of ascension of
kundalini energy, and that invoking this energy will
enable us to attain enlightenment.

The other profound approach is to work on our psychological
and emotional issues in
such a manner that the chakra opens up
naturally and kundalini ascends.

The chakra system too starts with a basic need and
each successive chakra represents
a progressively higher or rarefied need.

The first is the mooldhara or root chakra which roots
around the need for security. Interestingly
the way to security is through experience of insecurity.

The second is the swadisthana chakra which focuses
on the need for pleasure. Asceticism
and hedonism are two extreme polarities of this chakra.

The third chakra is the manipura chakra or the
solar plexus chakra which focuses
on power.Interestingly the way to power is through surrender.

The fourth is the anahata or the heart chakra which deals
with love and and connection.
The way to connection is through tranquility and serenity.

The fifth is the vishudha chakra or throat chakra which
stands for the need to communicate.
Interestingly the way to communication is deep listening.


The sixth is the ajna which is oriented around intuition.
Located between our eyebrows,
it helps bypass lengthy procedure of analysis,
logic and reasoning and come straight
to divine answers.

And the seventh chakra is the big one, sahashara chakra,
standing for oneness
or self - transcendence.

Sansara is the way to see our own divinity.
