There is an incredible amount of information about chakras and hopefully after reading this you will discover yet another perspective of what they are and how they can work for you in whatever capacity you desire. You may be familiar with chakras and the chakra system but in case you’re unfamiliar with what chakras are, I’ll take a moment to go into a general explanation that will provide some background information as to why Chakras are Windows to Your Soul.
The word chakra means wheel or circle in the ancient and dead language of Sanskrit. Therefore, chakras are wheels that exist energetically in your physical space. There are seven primary chakras along the spin. Each chakra has a very uniquely distinct purpose positioned from the base of your spine, known as the root chakra, up to the top of your head, known as the crown chakra. From the bottom moving upward, the order of the chakras are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, …., and 7th. They are like software allowing you to function appropriately in this third dimensional world. Every chakra is interconnected with each other and they all connect you with the energy of the universe, Divine Source and the gift of creation-manifestation.
The colors of the chakras are linked to specific vibrational energy that appear in the color spectrum exactly like the rainbow. It’s a universal correlation that validates the connection of you with the universe and all forms of God and creation energy. The following are the positions, colors and energetic function associated with each chakra: [Look at the diagram above to see the position and determine the number of each chakra.]
- Root Chakra – Red – Caring for yourself (food, shelter, clothing, money, health…)
- Spleen Chakra – Orange – Feelings and Sexuality; also associated with creativity
- Solar Plexus Chakra – Yellow – Power center and connection of spirit to the physical body
- Heart Chakra – Green – Divine unconditional love
- Throat Chakra – Blue – Communication and spirit expression
- Brow Chakra – Indigo – Seeing energy clearly; clear perspective
- Crown Chakra – Purple – Connection to Spirit; knowing and certainty
Now that I’ve gone through the basics of “chakraology”, considering the energetic function of each chakra as a wheel, they are also like portals where energy flows in and out. What lies within the chakras are the total elements of every energetic form that exists in the universe creating a balance between your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The wheels of the chakras open and close like camera lens shutters. What moves out from them is the energy information, each one provides, as a way to assist you in navigating this realm. What moves into the chakras is information from the outside world which is programmed into you like a download from an outside source. Sometimes, like computers, these outside sources are viruses that cause you to think, emote and behave in ways that don’t represent your true, real self.
The very essence of you rests securely within your soul. Your soul is a light body that looks very much like your physical body. Your soul emanates pure light, and as I pointed out before, the light has various color vibrations displaying the perfect harmonic balance for you. When you look into your chakras you can see your soul. You can determine, for example, from your first chakra what life style you choose to demonstrate as your living purpose. Or, from the fourth chakra what and who you love unconditionally. You can see your individual best expressive form when peering into the fifth chakra, and you can tap into the real use of your personal power shinning from your third chakra. Each and every chakra through your intuition, heart-felt emotion or real knowing, indicates what your soul is divulging to you. It’s simply a matter of being still, being quiet and allowing each chakra to express what your soul desires are for you and what your soul has come here to do. Once you clear outside sources such as beliefs from others, forms of expression not your own, fear of all kinds, past or future experiences and so on, you can and will absolutely find the windows to your soul guiding the way to a more easy, free and happy way of living. Primarily, the best way to be aware and experience the essence of your soul, through the windows of your chakras, is by meditation and prayer. In prayer ask for the true essence and messages of your soul to be revealed as you focus on each chakra in meditation, where the answers to those questions are better received.
