Chakras and emotions

The seven chakras are associated with particular emotions in our Being. What is the relationship between chakras and emotions?

All emotions, both good and bad, are nothing but the effect of the engraved memories or samskaras which we have accumulated in the past. When you are carrying too many negative samskaras, naturally the energy flow in the body will not be smooth. In particular, samskaras block the energy hubs or chakras, causing physical and mental disturbances. Most of our diseases are psychosomatic. They have their roots in the mind. What we see is just the effect and so we never really understand this mindbody connection.

When a particular chakra gets blocked, the part of the body near that chakra gets affected.

Each of our major chakras is related to some emotion in us. For example, love is related to the anahata chakra, the heart center. Worry is related to the manipuraka chakra, the navel energy center. That is why, if you receive some news that worries you, the first blow will be to your stomach. You will say, 'I can't digest it!' or 'I can't stomach that!' These expressions can be found in many languages around the world.

Kirlian photography has recorded the effect of emotions on the chakras. If an emotion is handled properly, the corresponding chakra functions well, expanding to the size of even a cartwheel! If the emotion is not handled properly, the corresponding chakra shrinks to the size of even a coat button, which causes low energy in the system. This low energy ultimately manifests as disease in the mind-body system

Several factors like childhood problems, societal conditioning, improper habits, physical and emotional injuries, or even just lack of attention, affect the energy flow through the chakras.

Ultimately, all these energy blocks are caused by the absence of awareness. When we flood awareness on the chakra, it is washed clean of negative emotions, and we start radiating positive emotions like love and compassion. Keeping the chakras clean and energized is essential not only for our physical health, but for our mental and emotional well-being, and spiritual growth as well.

Protective aura

MEDITATION TECHNIQUES RELATED TO AURA & CHAKRA

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Your aura is a protective energy shield around your body. If your aura is strong and healthy, you cannot catch an illness even if you are in a high-risk environment. Do you know, all your diseases express in your energy body at least six months before they are physically expressed! Just by checking the health of your aura, you can get advance warning of many physical diseases.

On some days, we feel exhausted for no reason, even when we are in good health, and even when we haven't been doing any strenuous work. If this happens to you, it is possible that you are living or working in an environment where a lot of subtle negative vibrations are being transmitted by people, mostly unconsciously. People are constantly broadcasting their tension, their anxiety, their anger, in subtle waves. If you don't know how to protect yourself, you may pick up these vibrations automatically. When your aura is strong, it can work as a protective shield around you. Your aura is a field of conscious energy. It is your point of interchange with the cosmic life-force.

When you sensitize yourself to your aura, you are accessing an inexhaustible source of positive energy.

Step 1:

Before you go to sleep, sit up on your bed. Visualize an aura of energy around you. It is about six inches wide, surrounding your body like a halo. This aura is caring and protective. Nothing can enter it. No outside vibration can affect you. Feel the loving energy of this aura. After a few minutes, fall asleep inside this aura. Feel as if you are falling asleep in the lap of the Divine.

Step 2:

When you wake up in the morning, don't open your eyes right away. Again feel this protective aura for a few minutes before you get out of bed. Keep this aura with you throughout your day. This visualization will go deep into your unconscious and give you tremendous energy.

You will experience a protective energy that surrounds you and protects you from negative influences at all times.
