The 7 Chakras of the Body and the 5 Chakras of the Soul
"The chakra's are energy centers that interface between the body and the Soul, holding keys to our health, vitality, and consciousness. They are points of energy where the lines of force composing the etheric (non-physical) body cross each other, thus forming these vortexes of energy.
As we awaken and embody deeper levels of our soul, we live from deeper states of intelligence, love and wisdom;
gaining mastery over the personality body.
We are on an evolutionary journey awakening us to evolve beyond the personal ego, into the Soul, and its connection with the Universe and the Heart of God."
~ Deborah Mills, Teacher of Soul Focused Healing

_Chakra is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "Wheel of Light". Chakra's act as recording centers that hold the memory of trauma, experiences, unexpressed feelings and belief systems. They are the meeting points of the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person. Their activity and spin are in relation to the degree of energy or blockage in a persons system. When they are not open or flowing correctly we are not capable of living from our highest states of consciousness.
The easiest way to imagine them is like pools of light, whirlpools, each one situated in an exact location in the body and each one, although its own separate pool, still connected and affected by the others. If mud were to fall into one of these pools it would become sluggish and stagnant. If enough mud fell in, it would no longer be moving, the flow would stop...Stagnation occurs. This is what can happen to these centers in our bodies and why there movement and continual flow are so vital to our health and well being.
The state of the chakras infuence all our organs, and bodily systems....our hormonal, digestive, circulatory, skeletal and nervous system. Our entire organism is tied to them. Behind every illness; physical, mental or emotional lies a problem with the level or flow of this energy.
Chakras can either be weak or blocked. Blockages prevent energy that is there from flowing whereas a weak chakra does not have enough energy to make it move. A blockage needs to be removed where a weak chakra needs to be infused.
As aspects of consciousness, Chakras hold our subconscious patterning and our energetic link to the realm of pure consciousness and Source. When they are blocked or not flowing easily we feel blocked and out of balance. As the chakras become clear and vital, we become clear and vital. As a greater flow of energy moves within this system we open to a new dimension of being. It is gradual and loving, and sometimes challenging as it can bring unresolved issues to the forefront to finally be acknowledged, integrated and/or released. As "this old matter" moves out we move from states of limitation to greater states of freedom and peace. We begin to remember the unlimited potential of our beings.
The 7 Chakras of the body: A brief description:
THE BASE CHAKRA

THE THROAT CHAKRA

Discovering the power of effective genuine communication, both talking and listening is one of the potentials of this chakra. When we can take responsibility for our feelings and communicate via our heart instead of our minds we get heard and received in a very different way. When we choose to speak the truth and not just what feels safe we build power in this center.
Symptoms of malfunction: are sore throats, swollen glands, excessive talking, inability to listen, stuttering, or fear of speaking and expressing one's truth.

In Esoteric Healing we also work on a chakra known as THE ALTA MAJOR, which is of significant importance. It is located at the base of the skull at the back of the head, in the brain stem. This chakra holds the energy of the Unconscious but more importantly, for those on the journey of spiritual re-membering, it holds the key to the reopening of our ancient memories and to reawakening the conscious God-self connection. In this way it is also known as "The Seat of God Consciousness" or "The Mouth of God".
Symptoms of malfunction include nervous system disorders, unconscious behaviors, and addictions. It is intimately tied to the central nervous system.

The 5 Chakras of The Soul
THE SOUL STAR/ CAUSAL BODY
This chakra is located above the head and is rich in information about our past and the karma or life lessons the Soul has come to learn or work through. The Soul Star energetically holds the petals of the soul that continually open as we get the lessons. This expands our consciousness by opening the inner gateway to our higher knowing.
It is known as 'The Rainbow Bridge" between the Personality Body and the Spiritual Body.
MANASIC CHAKRA 9TH
This chakra has to do with our Higher Mind and our connection to Higher Intelligence.
BUDDHIC CHAKRA 10th
This chakra is where we connect to Higher Intuition and deeper places of Love and Wisdom.
ATMIC CHAKRA 11th
This chakra is where we connect to Divine Will and Power; God's Will for us.
THE MONAD 12th
This is considered to be the seat of God-realization holding the individuated expression/spark of the divine within each being.
The Monad then holds the highest expression of our individuated consciousness. It is a large chakra that radiates and expresses the purity of our Divine Self. It is through this chakra that we eventually complete our human journey....the drop that returns to the ocean.
The Higher Centers are Planes of Consciousness.
As we heal the issues and limitations of the personality body, we begin to live in union with the reality of the Soul. Our understanding and awareness becomes much greater. Our limitations and fears begin to shift and fall away. Our power of Choice and Personal Responsibility become stronger. Our Sense of Self deepens and expands.
It is the difference experienced when looking out from the ground floor of a building versus the rooftop off a skyscraper.
"It is the commonest of mistakes to consider
that the limit of our power of perception
is also the limit of all there is to perceive."
