2. Chakras

Last week in the toolbox we talked about Thoughts and Emotion, and delved into how we create our realities through our thoughts and feelings. 
In Science, we have come to understand that the universe is made of vibration. These vibrations continually manifest in reoccurring patterns that can be found throughout reality.
One of the most frequently seen patterns is that of the 8 note Octave, or the Colour Spectrum. Although one is sound and the other is colour, they both are intimately connected to each other and mirror each other almost exactly. 
In understanding these patterns, and seeing that they are everywhere, we can come to understand that we too are manifested bodies of energy, and we are the same patterns as the frequencies that make up our reality.
Now would be a good time to watch the next episode :)
We too are vibrating bodies of energy, just as is the rest of our reality. With this awareness, there is something really special we can learn.

Inside that link above I've written down a huge post of information special for you. Here's a snippet so that you can see what I'm talking about. 
 When beings come into a brand-new reality where they've never been before—babies coming to Earth, for example—they have one thing on their mind and one thing only. They want to be able to survive and stay here; their whole focus is on being able to survive this new world, so they do everything they can to stay. 
As we mentioned, the first chakra becomes like a lens through which you interpret this new reality, and the interpretation requires your whole focus, just trying to stay in this new world.
The moment survival has been achieved, it becomes apparent to the spirit that one or two more chakras are available. (It's actually two, but spirit may see only one.) The rest of the chakras are not apparent because of the half-step wall. 
The half step hides the higher chakras from spirit, at least until spirit has learned to master the lower chakras and wisdom shows the way into the higher understanding.  ---- Click to Continue Reading.

Chakras have so much more to do with the way we interact with each other than most people know. It's absolutely incredible how much we can all really learn from recognizing these basic patterns which light, and subsequently everything else - flows through.
With love,


In this weeks lesson, we take a look at Chakras, and how your body picks up energy on a vibratory level. After last week, we got a lot of questions about HOW thought affected you, and each other. Did you know that your body has a system for doing so?

Everything is vibration, and if you study musical octaves, you see that all of the vibrations in existence have a harmonic pattern that they all flow through. The Chakra system is very simply the exact same system that runs through your body. It is how you recieve energy on a level beyond the physical world, the world of thoughts and emotion. The human body is also an emitter for what you’re feeling that sends out to the everything in the universe through what we call “Aura’s” (Not discussed here, but still very relevant).

We too are vibrating bodies of energy, just as is the rest of our reality. With this awareness, there is something really special we can learn.

Not only are we these patterns, but the process of learning and growing also matches this pattern. Heres a quote from ‘The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life’, one of my favorite books on the matter.

 When beings come into a brand-new reality where they’ve never been before—babies coming to Earth, for example—they have one thing on their mind and one thing only. They want to be able to survive and stay here; their whole focus is on being able to survive this new world, so they do everything they can to stay. 

As we mentioned, the first chakra becomes like a lens through which you interpret this new reality, and the interpretation requires your whole focus, just trying to stay in this new world.

The moment survival has been achieved, it becomes apparent to the spirit that one or two more chakras are available. (It’s actually two, but spirit may see only one.) The rest of the chakras are not apparent because of the half-step wall. 

The half step hides the higher chakras from spirit, at least until spirit has learned to master the lower chakras and wisdom shows the way into the higher understanding.

Once survival has been achieved, you desire to make contact with the beings in that reality—this is instinctual. When you’re a baby, that’s usually interpreted as making contact with your mother, especially her breast – this reality, but in fact it is sexual in nature.

As you get older, the desire for contact becomes purely sexual; you want physical contact with the beings in this world. 

In higher worlds it takes on different connotations, but basically you locate and make contact with the life in that new world. So we call that chakra the sexual one.

After you’ve survived and made contact with the beings, you now have the third chakra available, which has to do with wanting to learn how to manipulate and control the new reality, or what you might call willpower.

You want to know how things work, what the laws are in this new world. How do you do it? 

You spend all your time trying to figure out physical things. Using your willpower, you begin to try to control the physical world. In higher worlds, physical is different from physical in the third dimension, but there is still a correspondence between the worlds.

Your efforts to understand the reality are interpreted in many ways as time goes on. When you’re a baby there’s a particularly interesting time, often called the terrible twos, where you want to know everything about the world around you and test to see what you can and cannot do. 

You pick up everything, break it, throw it in the air, look for something else—in short, do everything you’re not supposed to do. This child will continue until he/ she is satisfied in her understanding of the physical world.

When you’re a baby, you don’t know that there’s a change in direction after the third chakra; there’s something like a wall obscuring the next four chakras.

The child is not aware of the many more chakra lessons to come. There’s more to life, but the child is totally oblivious to it.

On Earth, even when we become an adult, we may not know there are higher centers in the body. Much of the world is still living in the first three chakras. But that is changing fast, because Mother Earth is waking up.

Hopefully this will give you a clearer perspective of what the chakras really are. Theres so much to talk about with chakras, i hope this helps you as much as it did for me. This is definitely a topic we will be coming back to. ^_^

Man Know thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and god - Pythagoras

Hey there! Welcome back. As we touched upon in lesson 1, the world right now is in an incredibly disharmonic state. A few people mentioned that we’ve always been disharmonic, and this is true. In fact, we’ve been growing more and more disharmonic for about 13,000 years now. It’s in our DNA, and it’s something that we are passing through as a species. Were the end of it though, and we will NEVER be here again.

We are not in tune with ourselves, and mass consciousness is beginning to realize it. The reason for this, however, is just not “because” of bad politics or greed  in business – those are simply long term manifestations of the real problem, which lies on a much more individual level. The true problem is our old way of thinking, creating tension on every level. This will become more apparent as the lessons go on.

We are going through something of a shift right now into a completely new state of being, with a new way of thinking and a different understanding of the one reality. In today’s lesson, I’m going to talk about Chakras, and how you can become more in tune with yourself and those around you on multiple levels.

Now, for us to even start to understand Chakras, first we have to understand the basics of Light and Colour. If you take pure light and shine it through a prism, the light will break into a spectrum of 7 colours. Red, Yellow Orange Green Blue Indigo and violet. We familiarly recognize this as the spectrum of the rainbow, or even more familiar – the basic palette in Photoshop. This spectrum as we know it, is the foundation of every colour in existence.

    What you might not know about colour is that each colour has its own vibration. Red has the longest wavelength and the slowest vibration frequency. We recognize this as warm and stimulating. Violet has the shortest wavelength and the fastest frequency and we recognize as cool and calming. I don’t think I have to describe what happens between these two colours, it’s just a frequency change. This basic knowledge will come back to blow your mind off in a few lessons, but there’s some other things we have to cover first.

Now, in modern science we’ve learned that certain colors can stimulate mental activity, and other colours can calm the mind. We know that we need light energy for nourishing our brain, emotions, physical body, and perhaps more importantly, our Chakras.

So what is a Chakra? The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit word meaning Wheel, A chakra is a wheel-like vortex spinning in a circular motion within the body. This forms a vacuum in the center that draws in energy on a vibratory level. It can draw in anything from colour vibration to microwaves to energy and emotions of people that we come into contact with. This works in tandem with the thought-realm that we discussed last week, as thoughts are on a vibratory level Right, so Chakras are energy points that run vertically from the top of your head down your spine. Depending on how you look at it, there are 7, 8, or 13 primary Chakras, as well as over hundreds of smaller, less important ones that are all around your body. I’m going to cover the 8 and 13 later on, so for now lets just stick with the basic 7. 

Your Chakras are kind of like the etheric motor of the soul. Not only do Chakras draw in energy, each and every Chakra radiates an energy of vibration, and govern over a major organ or gland connected to other body parts that resonate the same frequency. To have balanced and aligned Chakras will make you happier, healthier, and more in tune with yourself.

    When one Chakra center is out of sync, it may eventually affect the organs and glands that it’s connected too, and cause Chakras neighboring them to also go out of sync, creating a chain reaction and many bodily imbalances. A Chakra becomes out of balance when it is over-active, or under-active, possibly congested or blocked. This is almost always felt on a mental, emotional or physical level.

    The benefits to energizing your chakras and learning about them are primarily for a harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Your mind alone cannot nurture your whole being, nor can a proper food diet solve all of your problems. It is through your Chakras that you can learn to balance all of you, bringing you into a healthier state of consciousness.

As I mentioned before, each Chakra is connected to a gland or organ, which governs over a section of the body. The order of the chakras actually go from the bottom up, starting with red, and changing vibrations in each chakra until you get to violet.

Before we go any further, think about this. When you break light apart, you get 7 colours. These are the same 7 colours that our physical body is tethered to. What would you see if you were to look at a human through an etheric prism? Are we beings of light? Think about it.

What’s more interesting is that each Chakra has a core specific trait, and is connected to an organ or gland. The first Chakra is survival, it’s connected to the Adrenal Gland. The next one is Sex or Interaction, which is connected to the Gonad. The third is Power or Ego, and is connected to the Pancreas. The Fourth is Love, and connects to the Thymus. The fifth is Expression, and found on your Thyroid. 6th is the Third Eye Chakra, which is Psychic and Intuitive and connects to the Pituitary gland. Finally is the Crown Chakra, which is the spiritual Chakra, and connects with the Pineal Gland. 

    Survival, Sex, Power, Love, Expression, Intuition, Spiritual. These are the 7 traits through which we grow and are at the core of our being. Do you kno w of a time when you were struggling with your Ego, or didn’t seem to have a heart, or couldn’t express yourself? If you or anyone you know have a problem or come off too strong in any of these traits, the reason why is because of an imbalance within the Chakras.

    Okay, so we know what Chakras are now, yet we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of this topic. For the remainder of this lesson, I want to talk about methods of opening, activating and charging your Chakras. I feel it will be more beneficial to you at this point.

    As we know, each Chakra resonates to a colour that we just discussed. Doing things like wearing clothing that matches the colour of a chakra will cause it to resonate. I remember when I first learned about this, all of my chakras were closed except for the throat, which was way too open. The reason for this was because my bedroom was painted blue, and every night I would get a chakra charge in that one area.

    Sunlight is our main source and provider of light, heat and energy. Sunlight itself consists of energies in the form of cosmic rays, gamma rays, X-rays, visible light rays, infrared rays, microwaves and even radio waves. Lying in the sun for half an hour can give you a powerful Chakra boost.
Eating food that matches the Chakra colours are good as well, eating red tomatoes and apples are good for the Root chakra, eating greens is good for the heart. Does this make you want to eat healthier?

Colour baths are a relaxing way to open a chakra. You can get this organic fluid that you put in your bath, which changes the colour of the bath. You can just lay back and relax, as you get a chakra boost from the water itself. 

    Finally, and this is the best way to open your Chakras hands down. Go get Reiki. I kid you not, it is the equivalent of spiritual surgery. You lie down and become super relaxed, a Reiki master will individually go over all of your Chakras, opening the ones that are closed and aligning them. See, Reiki Masters are people who have had spiritual training on seeing your chakras. Yeah, they can see them through the 3rd eye Chakra! They learn to move energy throughout their body, and connect and flow it into yours. It’s a very amazing process.

You may have to ask, but Reiki Masters can also typically communicate to your higher self for you, and ask you what you need to progress on your path. Reiki itself is growing more and more popular in the last 15 years, so it shouldn’t be hard to find a number of places near you that have it.  If you’re serious about this and don’t know where to start, Reiki is an excellent first step.

Medical science has proven that toxins and impurities, including negative thoughts, chemicals in our food and other pollutants can influence our body. If these are consistant, chakra imbalances can manifest, which may eventually affect us on mental and physical levels. Traditional healthcare at this time is unable to naturally or totally alleviate symtoms or cure our problems, this means its up to us to improve our health conditions.

We cannot forget about our whole being. In todays society, we put too much emphais on independence, and not enough on interdependence. Our chakras are interdependent of each other, and we need to take care of all of them, to take care of our wholes.

    And that’s basics of Chakras! Believe it or not, we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of this incredible and complex topic. Chakras 2 will be a few weeks away though. Next week, were going to look at Left-Brain Right-Brain, as well as Indigo Children and Super Psychics!

See you next week!

And so it is.
