THE 7 CENTERS OF ENERGY
Chakra is a Sanskrit word and stands for "wheel". A wheel that spins around its own axis and can spin fast or
slowly. A chakra will spin in relation to the energy level of your system. Where will you find these chakras? They
exist within us all. In the same way that we have a physical body we also have a subtile body. Our chakras are
parts of a large network of subtile energies.
Today we know that living cells from humans, animals and plants give off invisible energies. Simple groups of
living tissue issue a sort of light (aura) that can be seen on a Kirlian photo. Specialized groups of cells that
make up physical organs create more organized energy patterns. The human body's system consists of
sensory, breathing, circulation, digestion, reproduction and secretion. There are six corresponding chakras for
these bodily functions. The brain and the whole being also has one chakra, making a total of 7 major chakras.
These chakras are situated at the top of the head, forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus, the navel and at the
bottom of the pelvis.
The chakras and the physical body
Every chakra has a corresponding organ in our physical system.
The root chakra belongs together with the large intestine and the rectum. It also has a certain influence on the
function of the kidneys.
The navel chakra belongs to the reproduction system, the testicles and ovaries and also the urinary bladder
and kidneys.
The solar plexus chakra is in relation to the liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen and the small intestine.
The heart chakra belongs to the heart and the arms.
The throat chakra relates to the lungs and the throat.
The third eye (forehead) chakra belongs to the brain, face, nose, eyes etc.
The crown chakra does not have a corresponding organ but is related to the whole being.
There is a clear connection between the condition of a chakra and the condition of the corresponding organ. A
chakra can be over active, under active or in balance. Using Reiki can give the chakras balance and the organs
health.
Chakras and the endocrine system
The chakras change energy from one level to another by distributing Ki (also called Chi, Prana, Mana
depending on belief system) to the physical body. This is partly done through the endocrine system that
regulates other systems in the body. According to tradition each chakra also corresponds to one of the major
glands in the body. The Reiki hand positions not only cover the chakras but also major organs and glands.
The root chakra is in relation to the adrenal gland.
The navel chakra to the ovaries or testicles.
The solar plexus chakra is related to the pancreas.
The heart chakra belongs together with the thymus.
The throat chakra corresponds to the thyroid gland.
The third eye chakra has a connection to the pituitary gland.
The crown chakra is usually connected to the pineal gland.
The endocrine system plays a major role for the body's daily health. The glands release hormones directly into
the blood stream and control all aspects of growth, development and daily activities.
Physical problems are often the result of a blockage in the energy flow in the system made up of meridians
and chakras causing the organs or glands to not function properly.

The Greek theories of the four elements,
originally developed by Empedocles and
expanded by Aristotle, have had a significant
influence upon many traditions stretching
into the 20th century - spiritual schools
based upon alchemy, astrology, Jungian
psychology (with its correspondences to
thinking, feeling, intuition and sensation),
Meyers-Briggs personality theory, and even
Luscher's four-color personality profile.
According to many mystics and
transpersonal psychologists today,
individual psychological and spiritual
development is indeed related to the
presence of and relationship ( the love/
harmony/ union or the strife/ opposition/
separation ) between the elements within
the psyche. When two opposing elements
encounter each other, they may neutralize
each other, or according to alchemy and
Jungian thought, lead to Coniunctio
Oppositorum, the Conjunction of Opposites,
a form of higher unity and transcendence of
polarities.

| There are two active elements - fire and air - and two passive elements - water and earth. They may be characterized (partially and incompletely) as follows: Fire: intuitive, enthusiastic, having faith, spirited. Air: intellectual, theoretical, detached, objective. Water: emotional, fluid, self-contained, sensitive. Earth: physical, practical, persistent, conservative. |
The concept of the four elements was
popularised by Aristotle. It had been known to
the Egyptians and Chaldeans, and was to
become integral to Christian symbolism,
astrology, medieval Alchemy and a variety of
19th/20th-century spiritual practices.
The four Aristotelian elements are Earth,
Water, Air and Fire.
The ancients were did not believe that the
literal physical basis of matter is comprised
thus. Nature itself, however, is curiously
suggestive in this respect, for matter does
tend to present itself to the senses in four
guises: as solids, as liquids, as gases, and
as electro-magnetic phenomena
(corresponding to the elements of earth,
water, air and fire respectively). And to
survive, man needs earth (food), air, water
and fire (warmth).
The number four is, in any case, a significant
one. There are four seasons of the year.
There are four quarters: East, West, North
and South. The name of the Hebrew God has
four letters. The number four symbolises the
completion of creation, stability. To the
Greeks it represented order as opposed to
chaos. We still speak of something being
'four-square'. Thus the number four
represents both the creation and the creator.
In mystical terms, the four elements are the
basis of, as well as the life behind, the
material universe. They are woven into the
mythologies of many cultures.

Breathing - The breath of life is important for soul travel training. When
you draw in breath, you bring Chi (or universal energy) into your lungs.
This energy has an extremely high vibratory rate and can be found in the
air we breathe and the water we drink. It originates from the Heavens
above. If you hold this breath in your lungs for a few seconds, this energy
will flow via the circulatory system to the entire body charging all the
organs with this powerful Chi. This raises your vibrations and allows the
body to become lighter, and to carry a more positive essence.

| Chakra One: Earth, Physical identity, oriented to self-preservation Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence |
| Chakra Two: Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfilment, and the ability to accept change. |
| Chakra Five: Sound, Creative identity, oriented to self-expression This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language. |
| Chakra Three: Fire, Ego identity, oriented to self-definition This chakra is known as the power chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating power |
| Chakra Six: Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye centre. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture." |
| Chakra Four: Air, Social identity, oriented to self-acceptance This chakra is called the heart chakra and is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It is related to love and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, have a deep sense of peace and centeredness. |
| THE FOUR BASIC EARTH ELEMENTS |
| Chakra Seven: Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss. |
| Aum, often spelled Om, is the "breath of life". The most sacred mantra of Hinduism is placed at the beginnings of most sacred writings. Aum represents the Divine and is explained in the Upanishads as standing for the whole world and its parts, including past, present and future. It is from this primal vibration that all manifestation issues forth. Aum's three letters represent the three worlds and the powers of creation, preservation and destruction. |
