OVERVIEW OF THE SEVEN CHAKRAS

I've been learning a lot about Eastern Medicine which much is based on sensitivity to energy. A large part of energy work deals with chakras, or 'wheels of light." They are real vortex-like energy centers along our body that have been documented in studies. They are there with varying energy frequencies, hence each is represented with various colors (colors are at varying frequencies, much like music notes are too--it's not rocket science though so many seem baffled by this). 

Here's a cool self-test and explanation for each chakra, so you can understand yourself better.

I copied and pasted this lady's website post about chakras because she's LDS, I've heard her speak a few times and she has been doing chakra energy work for 20+ years. She has developed a sensitivity to energy frequencies (as various areas of eastern medicine have). She can actually feel the energy from each area when she helps others with healing. (think of a food connoisseur developing their sense of taste...but hers is sense of frequency/vibration) This is her chart...

Father Thomas Keating says, “We are kept from the experience of Spirit because our inner world is cluttered with past traumas. As we begin to clear away this clutter, the energy of Divine Light and love begin to flow through our beings. ”  

SO in working with chakras, she helps people deal with past issues to clear up the negative energy that affects the chakras (and associated areas with each) and gets them working fully so they are at full energy. She says that not showing forgiveness is the biggest blocker of our chakras and that through the atonement Christ's light can deeply penetrate all chakras and bring full energy restoration. And she said that being hard on ourselves and trying to be perfect, without getting out our emotions, is a huge problem in this process because we have to allow ourselves to feel the emotion and then deal with it in a good way. (prayer helps us release and then get grace to work through it--He makes up the difference. Otherwise we just bury our feelings and they reap problems in our body)

So let's look at Spiritual Armor:  Ephesians 6

found on google search

• Helmet of Salvation
• Breastplate of Righteousness
• Loins girt with truth
• feet shod with Gospel of Peace
• Shield of faith
• Sword of Spirit/Word of God

Food for thought: 

• How do you release your emotions: prayer, journal, close friend, etc?
• What issues are you holding on to that can be cleared to help your chakras be balances and be most effective in bringing greater life to your whole body? 
• If you don't know...ask Heavenly Father to help you see what you can work on to best have His light within you. :)
• Do we allow our children time to release and vent in good and appropriate ways or do we cut them off and stifle their emotional outlets?
• there are also chakra points that aren't energy centers in and of themselves--but are amplifiers of sorts--located in the palms of the hands and the feet! Interesting, huh?
• Idea for next topic study...spiritual armor
• Beam or mote in your eye? (maybe your "third eye" chakra?)
• LOVE and GRATITUDE are the two most essential qualities to develop
