Today's talk is Developing our Chakras.
Just to start with,
What is a chakra?
A chakra is an energy wheel that most of us know exists along our midline.
There are seven energy wheels that people acknowledge as the main chakras.
And the other day I was walking along the beach when I became aware of the existence of more chakras.
I was aware of the chakras that were in my feet.
Feet that were also below my feet.
And for many years,
I practiced grounding,
Which was imagining that there was this grounding cord that existed.
Um,
This energetic connection that I was aware of,
But not until then,
In that moment,
Was I acutely aware that There was not only this magnetic cord that connected from the root of my body into the earth,
But there were in fact many chakras that existed below the root chakra that extended deep into the earth.
And this idea that there are chakras that exist also above our crown.
All the way up out into the universe.
And I became also aware of chakras that were in my eyes,
In different parts of my body,
In my hands,
In my fingers.
And all of a sudden,
With this awareness of the hundreds and thousands of chakras that existed,
Not only in my physical body,
But in my auric field that we're extending outward,
That it made me aware and excited and tapped in to a bigger energy flow system that I'm really excited to share with you today.
When you meditate,
You become aware of energy and how it moves and flows in your body.
You become aware of the subtle energy movements and openings that happen.
Again,
For those of you who have been working with me,
You're aware of the chi,
The life force energy that we have an opportunity to tap into through our spiritual practice.
Here's a picture of how we learn about chakras today,
The seven main chakras.
In other schools of thought that I just learned about right before this presentation,
There are up to 114 known chakras.
But like I said,
There are hundreds and possibly thousands of chakras that exist within our physical body and our auric field that extend all the way past,
Way past our physical body.
And this is how we can come to know things that are happening thousands of miles away.
And know them in our own present moment in our body.
It is because of this complex intelligence system that is part of our chakra system.
So here we know the seven,
But just to know these seven within our physical body doesn't allow us to extend and resource our energy in a way that is powerful.
If we only think about this system within our limited physical body and being,
We aren't able to source from the many energy sources that exist all the way around us.
Chakras are like flowers.
They take time to grow.
Develop.
Balance,
And heal.
We're not We don't all have.
The same chakras.
Some of our chakras need nurturing.
We might notice that it's hard for us to speak our truth,
So our throat chakra might be closed.
And because of that,
We have imbalances related to the throat area of our body,
Like thyroidism,
Neck pain,
Tonsillitis,
Things to do with your tonsils,
Anything where your throat is agitated or irritated or out of balance.
This is an example of the kind of dis-ease that can manifest when our energy isn't flowing because of stress and blocks.
And also beliefs.
When we harbor subconscious beliefs and past stories,
That can affect the development of our chakras.
And we can't really make a flower grow you can't take those puddles and force them open.
Just like we're not really able to heal and balance all of our chakras in one meditation or guided session,
Sometimes it takes a long while for us to open these chakras.
And the way that they open is through care.
When we have attention and care just like anything that we grow from a seed.
That's how it can flourish is when we provide the right kind of care in our body,
The right type of environment for our energy to root and take flower.
You know,
To flourish and open.
It's about providing that right environment.
Of care so that you can really feel safe to grow and heal.
So here's the flower just so you can get an idea of how it opens.
And these chakras are multi-dimensional.
They spin and move in harmony with each other.
So if you work on one chakra within your being,
It will naturally open.
Just like wheels in a system?
If you think about a time watch and how it has all those tiny little wheels that are all connected,
It's the same idea that when you work on one chakra,
It will open and create movement and flow and all the other chakras and areas and nadis,
Or you could say highways,
Pathways in your body.
So as soon as you care for one,
The whole chakra system can begin to open up.
And you can viscerally feel when people's chakras are open and communicating.
They project energy from all sides.
So from the backside,
The front side,
In all directions.
And an example of this is if you feel love from someone and you can feel their heart,
And that's a visceral feeling of one person's chakras area communicating and influencing another person's chakra system.
And this is also what happens when we engage in healing practices like meditation,
Guiding meditation and healing.
Is that when we have a developed chakra system,
We have the ability to provide that vibrational environment for other chakras to come into harmony And.
A kind of synchronicity with the chakras that we've developed within ourselves.
However,
There can also be negative chakra communication.
Negative chakra communication would be,
For example,
If one person wants to control another person out of fear.
Then you would feel your solar plexus chakra tighten.
You might have had an experience where you exchanged with someone and you felt so tense in your solar plexus,
Like you've been punched in the gut.
That is an example of.
Negative chakra communication.
And an underdeveloped chakra system.
So.
.
.
Learning this capacity that the chakras are this alive,
Multidimensional,
Dynamic system of energy that have the power to influence is profound because we also see this in our collective cultures and societies.
If you go to countries,
You can see and experience that whole cultures have underdeveloped or more developed chakra systems.
For example,
If you go to countries where there's a lot of embodiment in the lower chakras,
People have the capacity to experience joy and security and connection without material wealth and accumulation because their chakra system is already so uniquely developed within themselves.
It doesn't impact their root chakra.
They have that sense of rhythm and embodiment.
It's all very connected and fluid.
Other countries and cultures might have more head and shoulders where there's a disconnection to the heart chakra.
In countries where there've been profound war and violence and colonization over other countries,
That's where we see the underdevelopment of the heart chakra.
And just like flowers,
They need to have a stem that's rooted to the earth in order to grow and thrive.
Come back again.
We too have that stem that exists into the earth through this very developed chakra system of hundreds of thousands of chakras that go into the earth magnetically.
And once you cut the stem to the flower,
The flower begins the process of dying.
It no longer has that substance from the earth's energy and we all come and grow and go back to the earth.
Now I would like to introduce this concept that was also an insight for me is that we have yin and yang chakras.
So I'll We all have male and female energy,
But what I would say are masculine chakras and feminine oriented chakras.
And to understand this is to understand how we can start to develop and pay attention to our own chakra system.
So a masculine energy is about power,
Physicality,
What we can see,
What we can prove,
What we can make happen,
Prove,
Produce,
Use our willpower.
Express ourselves into the world.
So the masculine chakra is that root chakra.
That is our sense of security,
Our safety,
Our ability to provide for ourselves.
Things like food and shelter,
That's the masculine root chakra.
The feminine energy of creation right there at the womb,
The sacral center,
That is our relationship Chakra,
Our relational capacity,
Our capacity to create and manifest come from this place within our being.
If you move up to the solar plexus chakra,
Which is right in the middle,
That is our willpower.
That's our personal power.
That is,
I want,
I decide,
I will make happen statements.
And that is something that I would say in our collective culture today that men have had a greater capacity in creating in this world is the I want,
I will make happen.
The feminine,
Which is the heart chakra,
That is the feminine unconditional love,
Caring and compassion of that yin soft energy.
The throat chakra is our expression of willpower.
That is our divine personal expression.
Our ability to speak our truth.
And in our culture,
Men feel more comfortable speaking up and being a platform,
A voice,
Even speaking for others.
Right,
In our world today about what happens to women's bodies,
For example.
This chakra is very developed for our male energy in our culture today.
The third eye chakra,
The feminine insight and intuition,
The ability to see past the five senses,
To sense and to receive those visions,
Those intuitive hits.
And then up at the crown chakra,
This has no specific orientation of female or male energy.
It's a universal energy.
But if you think about this,
And let's switch these chakras around,
Let's say that men,
Male consciousness energy or masculine energy developed where it says feminine chakras,
What would happen?
What kind of balance or opportunity could be created if men were more in their relational creative center,
In their heart center,
Had the ability to intuit and receive those insights.
What if women felt secure within themselves,
Secure to you?
Provide for themselves,
Secure to be in their personal power,
To speak their truth.
What if women were able to develop these centers collectively within themselves?
Speaking truth,
Being in power,
Having confidence,
Having security.
Being able to provide for oneself,
No longer depending.
Or having that need for security that's external.
So just think about how this can impact the development of your own chakras where you feel like you might need some additional support.
And.
The idea of balancing.
And if you look at the kundalini energy that comes from the base of the spine,
But I would argue that that kundalini energy does not come from the base of the spine.
It comes from the root of the earth.
That that is an activation that is not just from within the body,
It's a cosmic activation that happens both within and without.
So that energy moving also from the earth energy all the way through,
Intertwining between the masculine and the feminine energies,
Integrating both the energies into balance.
So here is a depiction that I found that sort of showed or demonstrated the yin and the yang energy.
So we have the sun on the right side,
Which is the masculine side,
And the moon on the left side being the feminine yin side.
And the movement of energies.
Now,
If I were to also add to this drawing,
I would create that spiral that moves from below the body and then moving up into the root and then moving back and forth between each of those chakras,
But there being many more chakras than just the seven that are listed there along the central channel,
Going all the way up to way above the head.
And I'd like to demonstrate why I believe that there are these spiral circular chakras that exist below our human energy field.
And this is demonstrated through a tree trunk.
Which has these concentric.
Circles.
Patterns within the core of a tree.
And it is these kind of circles that exist below our.
Physical body and above and all the way around us and it's the circular motion of energy that is channeling intelligence,
Channeling life force energy.
If you think about it in this way.
There is constant intelligence and communication that is happening within the hundreds and thousands of chakras that exist within us and around us.
Our chakras can become connected to each other.
Right,
When two people come together.
And they live together.
Their chakras can become connected and they can mirror each other.
That's why people start to sound more similar and look more similar.
Why people who have pets,
The pets look like the owners because the chakra systems and the energy system begins to match one another.
And this is something to become aware of,
That there's this whole energy communication system that's happening all the way around us.
So this is a picture.
I don't know,
I'm not a graphic designer,
How I would do this.
Design.
This image,
I would put.
.
.
The sense of radiance that's shown at the third eye along all the many chakras that exist within our body,
Right?
We have them all along the points of our body.
And around our body.
The chakras or force centers are points of connection at which energy flows from one body of a man to another.
All these wheels are perpetually rotating and into the hub or open mouth of each a force from a higher world is always flowing.
Hopefully you received the gist of what this is saying,
That these chakra centers exist,
There's energy constantly flowing into them,
Through them,
Into each other.
And that there is a higher dimension,
Higher worlds,
Higher energy that have the capacity to flow through these energy centers.
Having awareness of the hundreds of chakras in your physical body and your aura expands your energy potential.
Even thinking about it,
If you just take a moment to Take a breath,
Inhale.
And envision all the many chakras that exist not only along your midline.
All the way around you.
Can you already feel how it begins to expand your energy?
Makes you feel bigger.
It's easier to breathe.
Feels more settled when you have Not just a grounding chord,
That's linear.
But a whole energy system that's circling and spiraling all the way into the earth.
Thank you so much for listening to today's talk.
Blessings.
