CHAKRAS
by Rev. Linda Swartz
Chakras can be defined as subtle energy
vortexes within the body that align with the spine. The ones addressed
here are located from the base of the tailbone to the crown of the head.
These are metaphysically explained as a connection between the physical
and the Spiritual. The origin of this concept can be traced back to
ancient Eastern Indian/Hindu beliefs.
There are seven major chakras (although it
is believed that there may be many more) that have been identified. Since
each one is linked to a specific organ, energy or endocrine gland, they
help to keep the particular parts of the body and mind balanced. As such,
this system is credited with this balance when proper health and wellness
are present, and imbalance when there is dis-ease or upheaval (physically,
mentally, emotionally, Spiritually). With this acknowledgement, it can be
understood why the interest in keeping the chakras balanced, cleared
and/or aligned has become part of the holistic healing genre.
The following is how the chakras are
usually described and/or identified;
