Let’s learn about your inner power. Anybody learned about Yoga, Meditation, Kundalini, Prana, Reiki, Shambhala, etc, may have heard about Chakras. But If you found the centers of your eyebrow furrow when you read all those methods.. aha.. you need to read this introduction.

Where are these energies coming from?

• From God (as the ultimate source of energy).
• From the universe (The sun, the moon, waterfalls, thunder, trees, etc)
• We also have a huge stock of energy inside us that so called Kundalini.

We can use these energies for self-healing, healing others, and other good things. How to attain this energies? Be patient, you have to know about Chakras first, then I will explain about the others in future posts.

Chakras are vortexes through which energy flows both in and out the body. When developed they rotate and grow bigger. We actually have hundreds of it spread in our body but naturally we can not see it. Exercise of one or two methods above can set you to have the ability to see energy and chakra. But some others were born with this ability, not because they are lucky but because they have exercised it in their past live, again you have to open your mind in reincarnation.

Chakra symbol and the position in the body

From hundreds of it, there are seven considered the most important Chakras, they are positioned alongside the spine, as in literatures the spine is the central flows of energy.

Eight major chakras according Patanjali Raja Yoga are :

1. Sahasrara Chakra, also called Crown Chakra. The location is above your head, if well developed give the ability to leave body in full consciousness, perfection of astral functions, greater understanding of life.
2. Ajna Chakra, also called 3^rd Eye Chakra. The location is between eyebrows, if well developed you can see energy, other beings, clairvoyance and hear the voice of higher self.
3. Lalana Chakra, this chakra is only listed in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (not available in above illustration). The location is in the root of tongue, if well developed gives the ability of clairaudience, astral sounds.
4. Visuddhi Chakra, also called Throat Chakra. The location is in the center of throat, if well developed gives the ability of clairaudience, astral sounds.
5. Anahata Chakra, also called Heart Chakra. The location is in center of chest, if well developed you can be sensitive to the pain of others, if you can’t control it you may experience pain of others in your body.
6. Manipuraka Chakra, also called Navel Chakra. The location is your navel, if well developed you will be sensitive to astral influences, memory feelings and memories from astral travels.
7. Svadhisthana Chakra also called Middle Sex Chakra. The location is mid point below navel, if well developed you can control your lust, your libido.
8. Muladhara Chakra, also called Root Chakra. The location is the end of spine (tailbone), if well developed you can control your lower desire, like your appetite, greed, envy.

Undeveloped people may relate to the world primarily through one or two chakras. Say one is sexual chakra, he/she will be very interesting in to discussion about sex, watching porn movies etc. Honestly, I like porn too, occasionally.. hey, I’m a normal guy dude
