The Chakra System by Joanne Brocas

Extract from Healing Power for Beginners by Joanne Brocas

The Chakras are equivalent to a spiritual guide map that will help you to transform your entire vibration:

When leaning about energy healing it is important to discover information about the chakras as they are seven major energy centres of power for our body and aura. The chakras help to regulate the flow of life force energy around the body. Each chakra is connected to a major gland or nerve plexus in our body and therefore is responsible for feeding life force energy to specific body parts, organs and bodily systems. If a chakra is clogged, due to an overload of mental and emotional issues, then it will limit its supply of life force energy to the specific areas of our body that the chakra governs. When this happens the health and well-being of the physical body is affected. By keeping the chakras in a healthy, balanced state, you can help to prevent further problems form affecting the physical body and help to heal any issues you currently have.

You are going to learn some basic information about the seven energy centres, as a whole book can be written on the chakras alone. The journey of the chakras is equivalent to a spiritual road map and they can help to guide you through the journey of your life. There are seven main chakras that all vibrate at different rates and all have their own colour frequency associated with them. They begin at the base of your spine and follow in alignment to the top of your head. They can be likened to mini tornadoes, with the wide part of the chakra facing outwards from the body and the narrow part meeting at the central energy channel near the spine.

We have chakras both at the front and back of us, and the base chakra faces downwards towards the ground and the crown chakra faces upwards towards the Heavens. All the other chakras extend outwards. Each chakra has a specific level of consciousness associated with it, starting with the basest level of material life experiences and ending with the higher levels of spiritual wisdom.

The Base Chakra:

The base chakra is located at the base of the spine and faces downwards towards the ground. Its colour frequency is red and the level of consciousness associated with this chakra is to do with how well we manage our safety and security in life. As an adult this involves issues such as how we manage our finances, how we build a safe environment for ourselves, and how well we look after our physical health and well-being through getting our needs met. If we have fears, worries, and negative beliefs about any of these issues, then we can create problems with our physical health.

The most common physical symptoms of the Base Chakra include:

Lower Back Pain; Sciatica; Problems with the Hips, Legs, Knees and feet; Varicose Veins; Rectum problems; Immune System Disorders; Depression caused by worries and fears about money, work and property.

Chakra Balancing: You will help to balance your base chakra with regular physical exercise. Gardening and connecting with nature.

The Sacral Plexus Chakra:

The sacral plexus chakra is located in the area of the lower abdomen, just under the naval and its colour frequency is Orange. The level of consciousness associated with this chakra relates to how well we manage and express our emotions in healthy and balanced ways. Sex, food, and relationships all bring us joy if they are kept within a healthy balance. Using our creative abilities to express ourselves will also bring us joy and fulfilment in life. If we lose our emotional balance within any of these areas, or block our creativity, then we can create problems with our health.

All women’s issues such as fibroids, fertility and menstrual cycle problems; Prostrate problems for men and impotency; Addictions; Urinary Problems; Depression caused by guilt and from loss of joy in your life.

The Solar Plexus Chakra:

The solar plexus chakra is located in the area just above the naval and its colour frequency is Yellow. The level of consciousness associated with this chakra relates to how well we manage our personal power. We need to develop our knowledge and wisdom in life to help us increase our personal power. We also need to learn to become independent and responsible for the way we live our life. Lack of personal power will indicate frequent indecision, low confidence, and low self-esteem issues. When you give your power away to others, you allow them to overpower you, manipulate and control you.

Stomach Problems; Anorexia and Bulimia; Arthritis; Colon and Intestinal Problems; Diabetes; Liver Dysfunctions; Middle Back Pain; Depression caused by low self-esteem.

The Heart Chakra:

The heart chakra is located in the area of your chest and its colour frequency is Green. The level of consciousness associated with this chakra relates to how well we are able to give and receive unconditional love. We need to develop a kind heart, compassion and empathy towards all. We also need to learn how to forgive others and to find peace within our hearts from our own misgivings. People who are hardhearted, or who refuse to forgive others, will block the flow of energy within their heart chakra. When you block your heart energy you will block your joy and prevent happiness from entering your life. You will also block your spiritual progression as the heart chakra is the bridge to the higher chakras and higher levels of consciousness.

The most common physical symptoms of the Heart Chakra include:

Heart Problems: Breast Issues; Asthma; Lung Issues; Upper Back, shoulder and arm pain; Depression caused by blocking your heart from giving or receiving love. Depression also caused through not loving or accepting yourself.

The Throat Chakra:

The throat chakra is located in the centre of your throat and its colour frequency is Turquoise Blue.

We need to learn how to express our truth by listening to the voice of the heart and taking heart based actions. We also need to learn how to communicate our true feelings in a loving, caring way. Do you find it easy to express your real emotions to others, or do you hide them away? Do you live a lie through pretending to be happy when you are clearly sad, and yet you do nothing to change things? You can never feel totally free when you choose ‘not’ to live your truth. You must learn to live your truth within all areas of your life.

The Third Eye Chakra:

The third eye chakra is located in the centre of your forehead and its colour frequency is Indigo.

We need to develop a good level of insight so that we gain enough spiritual wisdom to clearly see the bigger picture of our lives. There is always a spiritual solution to every material life concern and to receive divine guidance in this way, you will need to develop a certain level of awareness.

The Crown Chakra:

The crown chakra is located at the top of your head and its colour frequency is Violet. The level of consciousness associated with this chakra relates to how well we manage our spiritual maturity.

On gaining spiritual maturity we need to be an example to others through displaying our spiritual qualities and attributes, as we shine our light and add it to the world.

What we do individually within our lives will also have a positive or negative impact on the whole.
