Understanding the Seven Chakras Base Chakra to Crown Chakra

This blog is about Understanding the Seven Chakras Base Chakra to Crown Chakra

The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit ‘cakra’ meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘circle’ also at times referred to as the ‘wheel of life’. Some traditional sources describe the human body of possessing five or seven chakras; even others claim the presence of eight.

Knowledge of the chakras goes back to the beginning of time.  The birthplace of the human race is said to have occurred in Tanzania, Central Africa, in which there is a mountain considered sacred to the country, known as Mount Meru. Myth would have it that the ‘journey of life’ is represented in this venerated Mountain in the climb from bottom to top; Root Chakra to Crown Chakra. Interestingly enough mention of ‘Mount Meru’ appears in ancient Egyptian and Indian mythology demonstrating that both these ancient cultures possessed knowledge and understanding of the chakra system as it relates to the human body.

Another primary source of chakra knowledge and teachings have been derived from the ancient Hindu scriptures ‘The Upanishads’ originally passed down through oral teachings for approximately a thousand years before being recorded in written form somewhere between 1200 – 900 BCE.

It is from Tantric Yoga that the majority of our current teachings on the human energy field have evolved. Tantric philosophy and teachings uphold a number of ancient esoteric fields including those of the Chakras, Astronomy, Astrology, Kundalini and Hatha yoga.

The last half of the 20th century has seen a re-emergence in the disciplines and practice of ancient wisdoms and teachings. Modern day research into Bio-Magnetic Fields and Resonance, and Quantum Physics’, now support and indeed verifies the efficacy of working on and within the human Bio-Magnetic as a means of healing. In fact practitioners specialising in Energy/Chakra work on the premise that all ill health is initially identified in the individual’s energy field, prior to its’ actual physical manifestation.

The benefits of a regular ‘energetic tune-up’ would appear to be a worthwhile exercise for all aspects of health. These energy centres are located in a straight line between the head and the feet. They are responsible for our physical, mental and spiritual functioning. Any blockage in either of them could lead to impaired mental, physical or spiritual functioning.
