THE SEVEN PRIMARY CHAKRAS
The information contained within this site was derived from copious notes I
have collected over the years from a variety of sources long forgotten, and
the following texts:

INTRODUCTION
It is said that when you begin to develop your senses, a new and fascinating
world opens before you% the hidden world suddenly unveils itself & your
perception heightens and your thoughts and feelings are expressed before
your very own eyes in color and form
There is more to the human body than the physical body 'nfortunately,
most people consider the physical body and the material world to be the
only reality that exists They believe this because for them, these are the
only things that can be discerned with their own physical senses, and I
might add, understood by their rational mind But there are numerous
energy bodies within and around the human body These energy bodies are:
( The ethereal body
) The emotional *astral+ body
, The mental body
- The spiritual body
.ach energy body possesses its own vibrational fre/uency, from the lowest
*ethereal+ to the highest *spiritual+
In addition, there is a complex energy system that is at wor!, which the
body could not exist without This energy system consist of energy bodies,
namely:
( the cha!ras the *or energy centers+
) and the nadis *also !nown as energy channels+
0adi is a Sans!rit word meaning, 1pipe1 or 1vein1 0adis are a!in to a
networ! of channels or arteries that transport prana *vital energy+
throughout the human being2s energy system
#he a'ove illustration depi"ts the "ha%ra system
and the large num'er of se"ondary "ha%ras,
in"luding the "omple) networ% of nadis
#hese nadis unite into *+ main "hannels,
whi"h "orrespond to the main
primary and se"ondary "ha%ras
$ncient Indian texts say there are 3),444 nadis in the human body, whereas
other archaic texts spea! of ,54,444 nadis The most important nadis are
called the *(+ sushumna *)+ ida, and *,+ pigala The nadis of one energy
body are connected to the nadis of the neighboring energy body via the
cha!ras
WHAT IS PRANA?
!rana is the primal sour"e of all forms of energy and manifests itself in
various fre,uen"ies 6our level of consciousness *awareness+determines
the fre/uencies of prana you are capable of receiving and storing 7ne form
of prana exists in the air, and one way we can retrieve it is through proper
breathing *exercises+
8rana is e/uivalent to the force of 1vitality1 9itality is radiated on all levels
and manifests itself in the physical, emotional and mental realms This force
is 07T electricity, albeit in some ways it represents it
7ne common description of the 1vital force1 *field+ or 1etheric body1 is a
silvery ha:e that extends a few inches beyond the s!in 6ou can see this
field under special conditions using ultra&violet light or your own eyes
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEE THIS "ETHERIC" ENERGY FIELD?
6es ;ere2s a techni/ue that wor!s for me: 'nder low light conditions,
preferably at night, extend your hand in front of you then unfocus your
eyesight so that the outer parts of the retina come into play 6ou will see a
vague undifferentiated field that outlines your hand This field is your
etheric body $ll you need to do is learn is ;7W&to&S.. in the dar! & to S..
the $I< With practice, you will catch on and learn how to focus your
eyesight so that you can S.. this vital or etheric field, which is associated
with the dense physical body
There is an aura associated with the 1mental body,1 which is where
1thought1 ta!es place, and there is an aura associated with the 1astral
body,1 where the 1feeling1 processes are, but our attention within this site
will focus primarily on the 1etheric1 field
HOW IS PRANA DISTRIBUTED IN THE BODY?
In the dense, physical body, the blood carries chemical material in a li/uid
solution% the red corpuscles ta!ing oxygen to the tissue and bring bac!
carbon dioxide from these and disposing of it Well, the radiations in the
1vital field1 or 1etheric body1 absorb and carry 1vitality1 or 1prana1 from
the other atmosphere and dispose of subtle waste matter in a similar
manner
9itality action differs from electricity, light and heat 9itality causes
oscillation of the atoms as a whole, which is enormous compared to that of
the atom The 1vitality force1 comes to the atom from WIT;I0, 07T from
without It enters the atom along with the force that holds the atom
together When this 1vitality force1 wells up within an
atom, it gives it a power of attraction which immediately
draws six *=+ other atoms around it, thus creating a sub&
atomic element called, 1globules1
So 1globules1 are charged with the force of
1prana1 >lobules are very good for you, btw 'nder
certain conditions, they can be seen dancing in the air as
tiny points of brilliant light They are also sunshine
dependent for their power of manifestation 6ou won2t see many under
cloudy days 8erhaps this is why people are not as ?ovial or in a depressed
or sluggish mood after being exposed to many cloudy and@or rainy days in a
row
WHAT ARE CHAKRAS ?
"ha!ras are energy centers They function li!e receivers and transformers
of the various forms of prana Through the nadis, the cha!ras ta!e in the
vital energy and transform it into the fre/uencies needed by the various
areas of the physical bodies for sustenance and development
.ach cha!ra is connected with one of the elements of earth, water, air ether
and mind & mind being an instrument of consciousness These elements are
states of matter and 07T elements as we understand them in modern
chemistry They are e/uivalent to the terms: solid, li/uid, fiery or gaseous,
airy, and etheric & which are somewhat analogous to the physical, astral and
mental planes and sub&planes
"ha!ra is a Sans!rit word, meaning, 1wheel1 The human cha!ras are
1wheel&li!e1 vortices, or saucer&shaped depressions that exist on the
surface of the etheri" human body
Traditional writings say there are AA,444 cha!ras in the human body Bost
are extremely small and play a minor role in your energy system
;owever, there are approximately -4 secondary cha!ras that are of
significance% these are located in your spleen, the bac! of your nec!, the
palms of your hands and the soles of your feet But for brevity purposes, we
will only explore the seven *3+ primary cha!ras here
If we loo! down into the bell of a convoluted&type flower, we would get the
general appearance of a cha!ra

The seven primary cha!ras are located along a central vertical axis of our
spine and open toward the front of the body li!e a blossom *see Cigure )
below+ These circular energy centers are in constant motion, rotating,
attracting energy & receiving or radiating
$t the center of each cha!ra, in its deepest point, is a stem&li!e channel that
extends to the spine and merges with it, thus connecting the individual
cha!ra with the sushumna *the most important energy channel+ which
ascends within the spine to the top of the head Bore on that later
CI>'<. )
#i!e a flower, a 1stem1 branches out from our spine into the shape similar
to that of a lotus flower Thin! of our spine li!e a central stem
Cor most people, the cha!ras extend about four inches in all directions from
their point of origin When undeveloped, they appear as small circles about
two *)+ inches in diameter, but when awa!ened, they are bla:ing,
shimmering whirlpools a!in to miniature suns several inches in diameter $s
one2s development advances, their cha!ras will extend further from the
body, their fre/uency vibrations will increase and their corresponding colors
will become clearer and brighter
Depending on the sex of the individual, the cha!ras rotate either cloc!wise
or counter&cloc!wise Cor instance, when a cha!ra in a man is rotating
cloc!wise, the same cha!ra in a woman will rotate counter&cloc!wise and
visa versa This enables the energies of man and woman to compliment
each other .very cloc!wise rotation is primary male, which is in accordance
with the "hinese teaching, 6ang% and every counter&cloc!wise rotation is
female, or 6ing
It should be noted, the direction in which a cha!ra rotates varies from
cha!ra to cha!ra .ach cha!ra rotates in a different direction, as these
illustrations depict
THE SEVEN PRIMARY
HUMAN CHAKRAS

The Seven 8rimary
"ha!ras in the human
body are:
*3+ "rown *Third .yeE+ "ha!ra
*=+ Third .yeE
*5+ Throat "ha!ra
*-+ ;eart "ha!ra
*,+ Solar 8lexus
*)+ Sacral or Spleen "ha!ra
*(+ <oot "ha!ra
The (st cha!ra is called the <oot cha!ra It is located between the
anus and the genitals and is connected with the coccyx The <oot "ha!ra
opens downward When active with vigor, it is fiery red&orange in color
The )nd cha!ra is called the Sacral or
Spleen cha!ra #ocated over the spleen, it is sun&li!e in color and
opens towards the front Sans!rit boo!s always substitute the )nd sacral
cha!ra with that of the spleen, locating it below the navel instead of at the
spleen By research suggests that there is a danger associated with
tampering with the spleen, so perhaps this is why they locate it below the
navel I don2t !now
The ,rd cha!ra is called the Solar 8lexus cha!ra It is located
about two finger&breaths above the navel and is directly connected to our
astral or emotional body Through the solar plexus cha!ra we absorb the
solar energy which nurtures our etheric body, which energi:es and
maintains our physical body This is where our emotional *feeling+ energy
radiates, particularly our 1gut feelings1 It glows a golden color
The -th cha!ra is called the ;eart cha!ra It is the center of our
entire cha!ra system It is located in the center of the breast at the level
and vicinity of the heart cavity and connects the three #7W.< physical and
emotional centers to the three ;I>;.< mental and spiritual centers Its
color is chiefly green
The 5th cha!ra is called the Throat cha!ra It is located between
the depression in the nec! and the larynx, beginning at the cervical vertebra
behind the $dam2s apple It starts at the cervical vertebra and opens
towards the front It is also connected to a small secondary cha!ra, which
has its seat in the nec! and opens to the bac!, but since the two cha!ras are
so closely related, they have been integrated into one $lthough it has a lot
of blue about it, it is also silvery, li!e moonlight upon rippling water Blue
and green predominate
The =th cha!ra is called the Third .yeE cha!ra It is associated
with the pituitary gland, which is a very small, shapeless organ about (@A
inch in diameter located in the forehead about one finger&breath above the
bridge of the nose between the eyebrows ;ere conscious perception of
being ta!es place It is the seat of our higher mental powers 7n the
physical plane, it is the highest center of command for the central nervous
system 7ne half is chiefly rose&colored with a lot of yellow, and the other
half is predominantly purplish&blue
The 3th cha!ra is called the "rown *Third
.yeE+ cha!ra It is seated in the pineal gland, which is a small organ
of fleshy consistency not much larger than the pituitary The pineal gland is
located near and behind the pituitary body almost in the exact center of
your head at the level of your ears The "rown "ha!ra opens upward, at the
top of your head Interestingly enough, medical science has yet to
conclusively determine the physical influence this gland has on the human
body *probably because metaphysics is beyond their rational thin!ing
mind+ $lthough it contains all sorts of prismatic hues, it is predominantly
violet
$ C.W W7<DS $B7'T T;. "<7W0 ";$F<$
The "rown "ha!ra is usually the last to be awa!ened It is the same si:e as
the other cha!ras but as the person progresses on the 8ath of spiritual
advancement, it increases steadily until it covers the entire top *crown+ of
the head
#i!e the other cha!ras, at first the "rown "ha!ra is a depression in the
etheric body and the divine force flows in from without But when the
person reali-es his position as the %ing of the divine light through
development of this "ha%ra, the $rown $ha%ra reverses itself and turns
itself inside out. In other words, it no longer is a channel of reception but a
channel of radiation% it no longer is a depression but a prominence above
the head & it radiates outward li!e a dome, li!e a crown of gloryG
This illuminated "rown cha!ra is symbolically represented as the halo above
and around the heads of so&called Saints that are glorified on the walls and
stained glass windows of churches, and this includes the halo that crowns
Jesus "hristG It is an ancient truth that is still used in "hristianity today
Sadly, however, its original purpose has been long ago forgotten, or lost &
until nowG
0ow you !now the hidden meaning & Truth & behind this
symbol
6es, this is T;. TruthG
.ach cha!ra is perpetually rotating $t the mouth of the cha!ra, a divine
force from the higher world flows Without this inrush of primary energy,
the physical body could not exist
The cha!ra centers are in constant operation in all of us In the undeveloped
person, they are usually in sluggish motion, ?ust forming the necessary
vortex for the force to enter, and not much more than that ;owever, in the
more evolved person, they may be glowing and pulsating with living light so
that an enormous amount of energy passes through them
The divine energy that pours into each cha!ra from without sets up at right
angles to itself secondary forces in an oscillating circular motion Thin! of
this li!e a magnet that produces a current around a coil at right angles to its
axis
$fter entering the vortex, the primary force radiates from it at right angles
as straight lines, as though the center of the vortex was the hub of a wheel
and the radiations of the primary force were the spo!es
The force of these spo!es seem to bind the astral and etheric bodies
together li!e grappling&hoo!s The number of these spo!es differs in each
cha!ra, which determines the number of petals each cha!ra exhibits This is
why the cha!ras have been described in oriental boo!s as resembling
flowers
.ach of the secondary forces, which sweep around the saucer&shaped
depressions, has its own wavelength and moves along large petals of
various si:es The number of petals is determined by the number of spo!es
in the wheel, and the secondary force weaves itself under and over the
radiating currents of the primary force li!e a bas!et might be woven around
the spo!es of a wheel & the number of wavelengths being infinitesimal
$ll the petals have a shimmering effect, li!e the mother&of&pearl, yet each
has its own predominant color This silvery aspects is li!ened in Sans!rit
wor!s to the gleam of moonlight on the surface of the water
Why are coor! a!!oc"a#e$ %"#h #he cha&ra!?
.ach cha!ra contains all color variations, although one color always
dominates These colors correspond to the primary tas! of the cha!ra.ach
globule that I spo!e of earlier consist of seven *3+ atoms When these
brilliant spec!s of light are drawn into the vortex of the )nd *sacral or
spleen+ cha!ra, they are decomposed and brea! up into streams of different
colors $s these seven *3+ atoms are whirled around the vortex, each of the
six spo!es of the )nd cha!ra sei:es upon one of them so that all those
charged with yellow flow along one spo!e, those charged with green along
another spo!e, and so on, while the seventh atom disappears through the
center of the vortex, or hub of the wheel These rays then pass off in
different directions, each ray destined to its special wor! in vitali:ation of
the body
Cigure , below is a diagrammatic representation of these paths of dispersed
prana
CI>'<. ,
It is important to note that the divisions of prana are not li!e what we
normally see in the solar spectrum but resemble the arrangement of colors
we see on the higher levels in the causal, mental and astral bodies
Cor example, indigo is divided between the violet ray and the blue ray
<ed is divided into two && rose&red and dar! red
"onse/uently, the six atom radiants are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange,
and dar! red, while the 3th, or rose&red atom passes down through the
center of the vortex
9itality, therefore, is sevenfold in its constitution, but flowing through the
body in five main streams These five main streams are:
*(+ the violet&blue ray
*)+ the yellow ray
*,+ the green ray
*-+ the rose ray
*5+ the orange&red ray
So it should be no surprise that here is a certain correspondence between
the colors of the streams *flow+ of prana and the cha!ras These streams
are:
<ed 8rana color enters the (st *<oot+ cha!ra
<ose prana color enters the )nd *Sacral or Spleen+ cha!ra
6ellow *or gold+ prana color enters the ,rd *Solar 8lexus+ cha!ra
>reen prana color enters the -th *;eart+ cha!ra
#ight&blue prana color enters the 5th *Throat+ cha!ra
Dar!&blue prana color enters the =th *Third .yeE+ cha!ra
9iolet prana color enters the 3th *"rown & Third .yeE+ cha!ra
S'!h'()a
The most important and fundmental forms of energy enter the human
system through the <oot and "rown cha!ras These two cha!ras are
connected by a nadi called, sushumna
The sushumna runs up and down the central axis of the body within the
spine, between the crown *top of the head+ and sacrum The sushumna is
also connected to all seven primary cha!ras via the 1stems,1 which provides
each cha!ra with this vital energy
This primary current runs 1between the sun and earth1 & 1from heaven
above and earth below1
As A'ove, /o Below
This current induces other currents at right angles to itself, which flow
between the spine and the outer edges of our etheric body *aura+Thus we
have a vital etheric body consisting of an interweaving mesh of stream of
energy with the spinal current as an axis This axis actually holds the
1etheric body1 *our aura+ together and gives it coherent form Thin! of this
li!e a magnet surrounded by lines of force in which the metal fillings are
drawn into a pattern and held in place in a magnetic field
CI>'<. =
Besides the sushumna, there are two additional energy channels that play
an important role in our energy system These channels are !nown in
Sans!rit as: 0ida0 and 0pingala0
The pingala "hannel is the carrier of solar energy It is full of heat and drive
It begins on the right hand side of the <oot cha!ra and ends in the upper
area of the right nostril
The ida "hannel is the carrier of the cool and calming lunar energy It begins
on the left hand side of the <oot cha!ra and ends in the left nostril
These two channels wind their way around the sushumna from the <oot
cha!ra to the nose, meeting at the =th cha!ra and polari:ing each of the
cha!ras in between, thus contributing to their spin *see Cigure = above+
CI>'<. 3
7nly when one attempts to arouse the energy latent in the inner layers does
the dangerous serpent fire begin to show itself Thin! of this serpent fire as
a ball or sphere of fire, or energy, and the ball is made up of layers, li!e a
ball within a ball within a ball within a ball, etc
The harmless fire of the outer s!in of the ball or sphere travels up the spinal
column using the three lines of sushumna, ida and pingala simultaneously
1It is the pure $!asha that passes up Sushumna and its two aspects flow in
Ida and 8ingalaIda and 8ingala play along the curved wall of the spinal
cordThey are the positive and the negative, the sun and the moonThey
have there distinct paths of their own, otherwise they would radiate all over
the body1 & Badame Blavats!y 0#he /e"ret Do"trine0
"S #eadbeater in 0#he &idden 1ife in 2reemasonry0 explains it this way:
1in the Cirst Degree, it effects the Ida, or feminine aspects of the force,
thus ma!ing it easier for the person to control passion and emotions% in the
Second Degree, it is the 8ingala, or masculine aspect which is strengthened
in order to facilitate control of the mind% but in the Third Degree, it is the
central energy itself, the Sushumna, which is aroused, thereby opening the
way for the influence of the pure spirit on high It is passing up through this
channel of the Sushumna that a yogi leaves his physical body at will in such
a manner that he can retain full consciousness on higher planes and bring
bac! into his physical brain a clear memory of the experience1
#he wings of the "adu"eus depi"ted in 2igure 3 is a
sym'oli" representation of this astral flight

7 repeat, at the "enter of ea"h "ha%ra, in its deepest point, there is a stem4
li%e "hannel that e)tends to the spine and merges with it #he "ha%ras are
"onne"ted to the sushumna via these stems, whi"h provides ea"h "ha%ra
with 0vital energy0
CI>'<. A
In Cigure A above, you can see the general location of the flower&li!e
cha!ras, their respective stem, and the location of their connection to the
spinal cord
$s you can see, the stem bends downwards, it droops if you will, in the
coeliac *or solar plexus+ cardiac *heart+ plexus, and the throat plexus The
reason for this involves the cerebro&spinal and sympathetic nervous
systems, which I am not going to explain here
Before we leave this segment, it should be noted that the "rown "ha!ra is
07T connected with any of the sympathetic plexus of the physical body
#he $rown $ha%ra is asso"iated with the pineal
gland and pituitary 'ody and is related to the development
of the brain and spinal system of nerves
The pineal gland is separated from the pituitary
gland by a heavy cartilaginous tissue Cor many, the astral vortices
corresponding to the =th and 3th cha!ras converge upon the pituitary body
& the pituitary body being the only direct lin! between the physical and the
higher planes
Cor another type of people, the pituitary vortex is bent, or slanted until it
coincides with the pineal organ, which is vivified and made into a line of
communication directly with the lower mental plane without having to pass
through the intermediate astral plane in the ordinary way
The goal here is to develop and bridge the =th and 3th cha!ras, creating an
avenue of communication between them This connecting lin! is
called the antah%arana, or simply, the psychic bridge
#he antah%arana is the lin% 'etween
your personality and your &igher
/(12
$s you develop these higher cha!ras, this psychic bridge is enlarged and
strengthened, and so will be your intuitive powers or abilitiesNote: #his
'rea%4through in separation 'etween the higher and lower halves of the
head "enter is NO# li%e "utting through or pun"turing the 'one or tissue8
#his "hannel or 'ridge is "reated in the psy"hi" areas and NO# in the
physi"al sense
The =th cha!ra is associated with the pituitary
gland, and the 3th cha!ra is associated with thepineal
gland
Some text say the =th cha!ra *8ituitary >land+ is the human Third .ye,
whereas other text say the 8ineal >land is the human Third .ye, with
biological evidence to suggest that perhaps it W$S a real, physical&
biological Third .ye at one time long ago during our early mammalian
evolution I find this theory very interesting
So what is itE
$fter musing over a wealth of research information, I thin! they may be one
of the same, meaning, they wor! in tandum with each other6ou cannot S..
with your Third .ye without developing both the pituitary and pineal glands
simultaneously In other words, only when the =th and 3th cha!ras are
developed will the Third .ye open for you to see with
The P"#'"#ary Ga)$
The pituitary gland is a roundish organ, about the si:e of a pea, located ?ust
behind the bridge of the nose in the center and at the base of the
s!ull@brain in a depression called the sella turc?ca *1Tur!ish saddle1+ It
weighs about (@) gram *44(A o:+ produces 44444( grams of hormone per
day, and is attached to the hypothalamus via nerve fibers It is an important
lin! between the nervous system and the endocrine system
The pituitary gland consist of three lobes:
*(+ anterior *secretes protein hormones+
*)+ intermediate
*,+ posterior *is an extension of the hypothalumous+
.ach lobe produces and releases hormones that affect growth, sexual
development, metabolism and the reproduction system, particularly the
ovaries and testes as well as the adrenal, !idneys, breasts, intestines,
bladder, uterus, stomach and spleen
The posterior is composed of axons of hypothalamic neurons that extend
downward as a large bundle behind the anterior It also forms the pituitary
stal!, which appears to suspend the anterior from the hypothalamous
The above image on the is the frontal view of the pituitary gland and
hypothalamus of a sheep This image will hopefully give you some idea how
the parts of this organ fit together
;ormone secretion from the anterior pituitary is strictly controlled by
hypothalamus hormones The 1hypothalamus1 is a cluster of brain cells ?ust
above the pituitary gland, which transmits messages from the body to the
brain
Cor years, the pituitary gland was believed to be the master gland of the
body, but now we !now that the 1hypothalamus1 is the true 1master gland1
of the body The hypothalamus is the lin! between the pituitary gland and
the brain It is a!in to a way station between the body and the brain It
sorts out the messages to and from the body and responds accordingly
through the pituitary gland
The hypothalamus replies to the needs of the body by nerve impulses to the
pituitary gland, which in turn produces the hormones the body2s needs
These hormones are then circulated in the blood to the body2s tissues,
including other endocrines
0ow you !now the basic physiological@biological purpose of the pituitary
gland
But what does the pituitary gland have to
do with the 9th "ha%ra: and the #hird (ye:
The P")ea Ga)$
The pineal gland, a cone&shaped organ, which btw is how it got its name, is
about the si:e of a pea and is located in a tiny cave behind and above the
pituitary gland almost directly in the middle of the brain It is attached to
the third ventricle of the brain and produces the hormone
1melatonin,1 which is secreted throughout the night with the absence of
light
When light enters the retina of the eyes, this signal is sent through the optic
nerve to a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus
This pathway is called the retinohypothalamic tract Crom the
suprachiasmatic nucleus, nerve impulses via the sympathetic nervous
system travel to the pineal gland and inhibit the production of melatonin $t
night, these impulses stop *because no light stimulates the hypothalamus+
and melatonin production ensues and is released into the body $s a
result, it appears the pineal gland is a photosensitive organ 7r is itE
Belatonin is implicated in many human activities, and perhaps human
behavioral disorders Belatonin regulates the human daily body rhythms,
most notably the day and night cycle, and perhaps the depression and
tiredness some people feel during long periods of overcast s!ies and short
days during the winter months is in response to an over production of
melatoninE If this is true, I wonder how melatonin production effects blind
peopleE $re blind people more susceptible to depression because of a
melatonin imbalanceE
Belatonin can be found throughout the animal !ingdom In reptiles and
birds, the pineal gland is found close to the s!in% it needs no interaction
with with the eye to sense whether it is day or night Interestingly enough,
this is where the term 1third eye1 originated The pineal gland is therefore
the master cloc! for these animals Cor mammals, however, the pineal gland
is subordinate to the eye and the suprachiasmatic nucleus because light
severely stops the production of melatonin
Bedical dissection has revealed that the front section of the pineal gland is
e/uipped with the complete structure of a human eye Since it grows@exists
inside the human s!ull, it has been called a vestigal eye
"onventional theory has it that the rod and cone photoreceptors in the
retina are responsible for transmitting all photoreceptive input, and that the
suppression of melatonin *produced by the pineal gland+ is also carried out
via this pathway But, since the pineal gland is concealed in the s!ull, how
in the world is it possible for it to respond directly to lightEE
Bottom line: The conventional visual pathway from the retina to the pineal
gland via retinal photoreceptors or optic transduction does 07T seem to be
the mode of communication So then how does the presence of light reach
the pineal glandE
Tal! of 1unconventional photoreceptors1 proposed non&rod and non&cone
photoreceptors carrying non&image@non&visual optical signals But evidence
to support such a theory is absent
$nother theory proposes that because the structure of the retina and pineal
gland are similar, perhaps the pineal consist of a variety of genes that are
only expressed in the eye% therefore, the pineal gland has photoreceptors
and a complete system for optical transduction In other
words, there IS some light&communication highway to the pineal gland But
what is itEE
$h&haG 8erhaps there is a secret, 1un!nown1 *invisibleE+ passageway that
allows the mammalian pineal to detect light directlyG
Imagine thatG
Before we go any further, please read below an interesting medical case you
should !now about:
0;ntil a few de"ades ago, s"ant attention was paid to the pineal gland #hen
"ame the "ase in whi"h a "hild was 'rought to a <erman "lini" suffering
from eye trou'le and heada"hes &e was five4years4old and very mature,
and apparently had rea"hed the age of adoles"en"e
0&e was a'normally 'right mentally, dis"ussing metaphysi"al and spiritual
su'=e"ts &e was strongly group4"ons"ious and only happy when sharing
what he had with others After his arrival at the "lini", he rapidly grew
worse and died a month later An autopsy revealed a tumor of his pineal
gland0 & Berman, #ous, BD, #he <lands Regulating !ersonality
Thin! about the above story 7ther than the fact the pineal gland is effected
by light and secretes melatonin, scientist and medical professionals really
do 07T understand .H$"T#6 what the function of the pineal gland isG 7!ay,

0ow, there has been some confusion as to what the human 1Third .ye1 is
and where it is located This confusion seems to stem mostly from the
location of the pituitary and pineal gland and the similarity of their names
The 1magical1 Third .ye and the $?na cha!ra have
been mentioned in many religions as dwelling
between the eyes, eyebrows, center of the forehead,
etc, and its association with light
In the )nd century, >alen was the first to mention
the Third .ye to the West ;e believed it to be a
valve that regulated thought
(Ath century Crench scientist and philosopher <ene
Descartes believed it was the chief interpreter of
vision and the 1seat of the human soul1
In (=--, Descartes2 theory of vision and interaction
with the pineal gland is expressed in this woodcut
;e believed light particles interacted with the eyes
and the image seen *the light particles themselves+
were then transmitted to the pineal gland & the pineal gland being the nexus
between the mind and the body
1In man, soul and body touch each other only at a single point, the pineal
gland in the head1
This drawing depicts an external stimulus being transmitted into an act of
will by pointing, an act sent by the pineal gland
SOURCE: www.princeton.e!
In (I(A, 0ils ;olmgrenin, a Swedish anatomist, referred to the pineal gland
as the 1Third .ye1 because he discovered cells that loo!ed very much li!e
retina cone cells in the tip of the gland in frogs and dogfish shar!s $0D,
recent discoveries have found that the pineal gland in the Western Cence
#i:ard contains a photo&receptive element scientist called a 1third eye1 that
protruded from the top of its head Interesting" SOURCE: www.#!ne$e.or%
0ow let me as! you a very interesting /uestion: While napping or ?ust
falling asleep, have you been able to see the room you are sleeping in, or
room*s+ of your house@apt while your eyes have been closedEG 6ou
feel, you F07W your eyes are closed, yet you can see as if your eyes
were openGGGEE
$re you with meE
It has been said that the 1Third .ye1 is a direct doorway to your
subconscious, or unconscious mind This may be true The $ncient
.gyptians studied this gland and understood its paranormal power
The headdress with the cobra sna!e protruding from the forehead
exemplifies this symbology $nd it is said that the .ye of ;orus and the
Basonic "apstone on the top of the pyramid on the >reat Seal of the 'S
dollar bill represents this understanding as well
When a"tivated, the pineal gland opens our su'"ons"ious and 9th sense and
'e"omes the window, or doorway to the higher planes 5realms6
It has been said that during the day, the pineal gland synthesizes amino acids into
serotonin, which is converted into melatonin at night. The pineal gland also produces
pinoline. When pinoline interacts with serotonin, we fall into the state of consciousness
called the dream state. This occurs about 2 hours after going to sleep.
Esoteric schools have long known that this area of the brain is the connecting link
between the physical and spiritual worlds. evelopment of psychic abilities has always
been closely associated with the pineal gland.
The !rown !hakra reaches down until its vorte" contacts the pineal gland. #rana is
received, and with practice, the vibrational level of the astral body is raised and allowed
to separate from the physical body. This is what is known as $stral #ro%ection.
&nce you learn how to activate and use this wonderful 'Third Eye,' you will perceive
higher dimensions that will astound you. In order for this to happen however, a proper
relationship must be established between your pituitary gland (personality) and your
soul (operating through your pineal gland ). &nce this relationship is established, a
magnetic field is created between the two glands, uniting the positive and negative forces
to create the 'light in the head.' &nce this 'light in the head' is activated, the astral body
can leave the physical body.
It should be noted that you will never realize any of this until you have properly prepared
yourself. This preparation takes time, effort and E(I)E. I offer many e"ercises that are
designed simply to *E+# you attain this higher level of spiritual education, so to speak,
but the end result is and always will be completely up to you.

In essence, the cha!ras are a!in to sense4organs for the astral 'ody They
are 07T organs in the ordinary sense of the word, since it is not through
them that a person sees or hears, as they would through their eyes and
ears, but rather sense4organs that when fun"tioning give the person the
a'ility to see o'=e"ts 'ehind them, a'ove them, and 'eneath them without
turning their head
Do you seeE
The seven primary cha!ras can be classified into three groups:
*(+ #ower
*)+ Biddle
*,+ and ;igher
The #ower cha!ra group consist of the <oot and Sacral or Spleen "ha!ras,
which are principally "on"erned with re"eiving into the 'ody two for"es: the
serpent4fire 5from the earth6 and the 0vitality0 for"e from the sun
The Biddle cha!ra group consists of the Solar 8lexus, ;eart, and Throat
"ha!ras These cha!ras are engaged with the forces that involve the human
personality These cha!ras seem to feed certain ganglia, or nerve centers in
the body
The ;igher cha!ra group involves the =th and "rown *Third .ye+
cha!ras #hese "ha%ras stand apart from them all #hey "ome into a"tion
only when a "ertain amount of spiritual development has ta%en pla"e
;ere are some 9.<6, 9.<6, 9.<6 B<I.C tid bits
of information about what
the Biddle and;igher cha!ra2s influence may have
upon the person:
S7#$< 8#.H'S "ha!ra *,rd cha!ra+
When the Solar 8lexus "ha!ra is open or activated,
the person begins to be conscious of all !inds of
astral influences, vaguely feeling some are friendly
and others are hostile, some pleasant and others
unpleasant, all without !nowing why
;.$<T "ha!ra *-th cha!ra+
Stimulation of the ;eart "ha!ra ma!es the person
instinctively aware of the ?oys and sorrows of others
6ou essentially feel the feelings of others This psychic
ability has an adverse downside & you may be easily
effected by another person2s emotional feelings, thus
altering your own without !nowing it
T;<7$T "ha!ra *5th cha!ra+
$rousal of the Throat "ha!ra enables the person to
hear voices, which sometimes ma!es all !inds of
suggestions to you Sometimes they even hear music,
or less pleasant sounds 6ou become somewhat
clairaudient, as least as far as the etheric and astral
planes are concerned
=th "ha!ra *Third .yeE+
When the Third .ye "ha!ra is awa!ened, the person
begins to see things 6ou may see wa!ing visions,
sometimes places, sometimes people $t first these
sightings are often partial landscapes and clouds of
color, whereas the full arousal brings about
clairvoyance
The Third .ye "ha!ra is connected with sight in
another way, too $ tiny, flexible tube of etheric
matter is pro?ected from the center of the pituitary
gland, which resembles a microscopic sna!e with and
eye at the end of it The eye at the end can be
expanded or contracted, the effect being to change the
power of magnification according to the si:e of the ob?ect being examined
This is what is meant in ancient boo!s as: the "apa"ity to ma%e oneself
large or small at will Cor example, in order to examine an atom, one must
develop an organ of vision commensurate in si:e with the atom Do you
seeE 57f you have no idea what 7 am tal%ing a'out, no pro'lem >ou 'elong
to the average mass of humanity #hese esoteri" truths have 'een "arefully
guarded se"rets throughout the ages 7 reveal these tiny little "lues to you
simply 'e"ause 7 'elieve it is time for many of you to %now 4 espe"ially
those of you who are still with me and reading this6
Curthermore, C6I, this little sna!e that pro?ects from the center of the
forehead *as described in the paragraph above+ was symboli:ed in ancient
.gypt on their royal headdress as a cobra sna!e This symboli:ed that the
person wearing the headdress possessed the abilities *as described above+
and other occult powers
This symbolic headdress portrayed them as an Initiate of the
Bysteries 'nfortunately, in later dynasties, when the government
*8haroah+ and the secret Initiation order *8riests and 8riestesses+ parted
their ways, the cobra sna!e became more and more of an ornament, paying
little more than lip service to its original symbolic purpose until it eventually
became totally discarded and forgotten altogether
Now you %now the hidden 5se"ret?sa"red6 meaning 'ehind this sym'oli"

When the "rown "ha!ra is awa!ened, the person is able to pass through it
and leave the body in full consciousness, and return
to it without the usual brea! so that their
consciousness will be continuous through night and
day
Wha# I! K')$a")" ?
Fundalini is an invisible force, but in the human body it is clothed in a nest
of hollow concentric spheres of astral and etheric matter, one within the
other
There are seven *3+ concentric spheres resting within the <oot "ha!ra *in
an around the last hollow of the spine close to the coccyx+ In the ordinary
human, the only force active is the outermost sphere% the other spheres are
asleep
In order to bring your <oot *(st+ "ha!ra into full activity is to awa!en these
inner spheres, and it is T;IS force that arouses or awa!ens *activates+ the
rest of the cha!ras
The !undalini power lies at rest at the lower end of the spine li!e a 1coiled
sna!e1 and enters the system through the <oot "ha!ra The !undalini power
flows through the sushumna in a mere tric!le in most people But when it is
awa!ened, it rises up the sushumna li!e a growing stream, activating the
cha!ras, supplying them with vibrations, causing them to expand and
increase their vibrational fre/uency
$s the !undalini rises, its energy is transformed into various vibrations,
corresponding to each individual cha!ra *ie it is lowest at the <oot "ha!ra
and highest at the "rown "ha!ra+ The degree of each cha!ra2s performance
is determined by the degree of consciousness*awareness+ the person has
attained in the various areas of his@her life, and whether they are bloc!ed
by stress and @ or unresolved experiences The more conscious a person is,
the more active and open their cha!ras will be and the more !undalini that
will be able to enter their body and flow li!e a strong flowing stream
8lease read the following page carefully:
$ Fundalini Journey through the "ha!ras
;ere is a very, very, very B<I.C description:
( When the serpent&fire is awa!ened in the person at the 1astral1 level, it
moves on to the Sacral *)nd+ cha!ra, which corresponds to the physical
spleen, and through it, vitali:es the whole astral body%
) Then it moves on to the Solar 8lexus *,rd+ cha!ra, vivifying it, awa!ening
in the astral body the power of feeling, a sensitivity to all sorts of
influences%
, Then it moves on to the ;eart *-th+ cha!ra, which when awa!ened
endows the person with a power to comprehend and sypathi:e with the
vibrations of other astral entities in a way that they can instinctively
understand something of their feelings%
- Then it moves on to the Throat *5th+ cha!ra, awa!ening @ activating it,
giving the person the power of hearing on the astral plane%
5 Then it moves on to the =th & Third .ye cha!ra, which when developed
and awa!ened *activated+ produces astral sight%
= Cinally, when it awa!ens or activates the "rown & Third .ye *3th+ cha!ra,
which corresponds to the top of the head, it completes the astral life
9ague, huhE
Sorry, but it must be this way for now
Thin! of Fundalini as a #IJ'ID CI<. that rushes through the
body when it has 'een aroused 'y the will 4 emphasi-ed, your W711 When
it has been aroused, it spirals up your spine li!e the coils of a sna!e
Cor the ordinary person, it lies at the base of the spine, unawa!ened,
asleep, its very presence unsuspected for their whole life
But there are various methods you can use to awa!en the !undalini power
Some of these methods involve the use of your will, peculiar modes of
breathing *exercises+, mantras, various postures and movements, et
cetera
IB87<T$0T
It is said that it is better to allow the !undalini power to remain dormant
until the person has made definite moral development, until the will is
strong enough to control it, and their thoughts are pure enough to enable
them to awa!en it without in?ury
B'T B7ST IB87<T$0T#6
0obody should tamper or 1experiment1 with it without the instruction of a
Teacher who thoroughly understands the sub?ect, because the dangers
associated with it are very real and terribly serious
The D$0>.<ous Side
If the !undalini power is uncontrolled, it often produces intense physical
pain & it may tear tissue and even destroy physical life But, strange as it
may seem, these are the least of its evils & it can do permanent in?ury to
vehicles higher than the physical
If awa!ened prematurely, one commone effect is that the !undalini power
rushes downwards in the body instead of upward, exciting the most
undesirable passions, ma!ing it impossible for the person to resist
them Such people become monsters of depravity They may gain
supernormal powers but they will be connected with the 1lower1 order of
evolution, something that may ta!e more than one incarnation to overcome
7ther unpleasant possibilities involve the mental body Cor example,
ambition is /uic!ly aroused which swells to an incredible degree$mbition
will rule your beingG It may bring a great power of intellect but at the same
time produce abnormal and satanic pride, inconceivable to the ordinary
person
Fundalini is no ordinary energy It is restless 7nly under the guidance of a
Baster, who watches over them, should one attempt to awa!en these
tremendous forces In the words of The ;athayoga 8radipi!a: 1Fundalini
power gives liberation to yogis, and bondage to fools1
In addition to !undalini, there is another energy that enters the body
through the "rown "ha!ra *the top of your head+ and flows down @ through
the spine to each individual cha!ra It is a pure and divine vital energy The
archaic teachings in India call this energy, the god Shiva, whose mere
presence initiates the transformation towards the Divine
<emember, the cha!ras act as receivers of the energy vibrations and
information that transcends the physical realm && openings that are
connecting us with the unlimited universe of subtle energies
It should be noted that the cha!ras also radiate energy into our surrounding
environment Through our cha!ras, we can send out loving and healing
vibrations and conscious or subconscious messages, which can and will
influence the people around us *near or far away+ as well as situations and
even physical matter, all in a positive or negative light
Bost of us are so engrossed in our physical consciousness that we !now
nothing about astral awa!ening The only way we can bring our dense
bodies to share all these wondrous unseen advantages is by repetitious
exercising the process of awa!ening our cha!ras & and I
mean repetitious exercising
;ow can you awa!en your cha!rasE
6ou can awa!en your cha!ras in a variety of ways, which you can learn from
a variety of boo!s But most importantly, I cannot emphasi:e enough,
that in order to 'e su""essful in this endeavor, it will re,uire a 0very

throughout the ages Fnowing that, some people may feel uncomfortable

Well, my response to them is simply: Don2t worry IIIIIK of the
population of the planet will not understand most if not all that is revealed,
and even if they could or would, nearly all of them will fail miserably
because they will 07T have the patience, diligence, and willpower to

Important among these are 1tho,1 1ehm,1 1meh,1 and 1err1

beneficial influence upon the ;eart "ha!ra
1Beh1 is pronounced li!e 1met1 but with an 1h1 ending instead of the
1t1 This has a soothing effect on the physical nervous system and a stirring
influence on the ;eart "ha!ra
1.rr1 is pronounced 1urr1 and the 1rr1 sound is sustained at the end This

exercises that led up to these exercises, such as, envisioning a pin! cloud
totally engulf the room you are in for one minute, then change the color to

$lso, feel free to do the above exercises more fre/uent than the prescribed
doses, and feel free to invent some of your own exercises But don2t over do

then you will chant mantrams, then you will combine sound and color, and
so on These training exercises must proceed in stages to
be effective GGG
7f you 'y4pass the preliminary e)er"ises and go dire"tly

so that you can bring higher psychic energies into your being and under
your control >our physi"al apparatus "annot perform

"enter 8hysiologically, they are associated with the pituitary and pineal
gland respectively Develop the ;ead "enter *pituitary and pineal
glands+ B.C7<. proceeding to the Throat *5th+ "ha!ra
The pituitary gland is the physical organ which is the point of transfer for
impressions and ideas It is a very small, shapeless organ about (@A1 in
diameter located in your head about (1 behind the root of the nose between
the eyes
The pineal gland is located behind the pituitary gland in almost the exact
center of your head It is also a small, fleshy organ about the si:e of the
pituitary It is one of the two points in your physical body which is in
contact with the soul and where soul energy enters your body
The soul is your ;igher Self, and it is your ;igher Self that is fully
aware of all that you thin! and do, including all the impressions that come
to you But since your conscious awareness is focused in the physical brain,
you do not parta!e consciously of the energies and !nowledge whi"h
your &igher /elf possesses But as you develop these two head cha!ras,
they will grow larger and finally ma!e contact with each other by way of
what is called the antah!arana or psychic bridge && which is not a physical
phenomena, btw
$t first this pathway will be small and only limited communication will be
possible But eventually inspiration and intuitive flashes will surface in your
consciousness $s you continue to develop these two cha!ras, the
antah!arana will enlarge and strengthen and your intuitive powers will
grow and your understanding will broaden

true So study it G

#ocate the vibrations of this sound in the pineal gland Ceel them massage
the gland until it responds with a similar vibratory action, almost as if it
were glowing in this violet&pin! color

8ractice this exercise (H per day, beginning about ) wee!s $CT.< you
start the exercises to stimulate your pineal gland Crom that point on,
perform them together, one after the other The se/uence is not important
but the amount of thought and focused attention you put into these simple
techni/ues is very important >our progress will depend upon it
6ou are now wor!ing toward a higher psychic development <radually at
first, and then more rapidly, you will 'egin to "hange. 6ou may become
aware of the thoughts of others $t first you will probably regard them as
your own and not reali:e that you are pic!ing up the signal from without
But as the experience is repeated, you will be able to distinguish which
thoughts originated with you and which did not
$ttunement
"ontinue the exercises of all your cha!ras Don2t stop the processG
Wor! in stages Develop each cha!ra one at a time as instructed Do not
attempt to ta!e shortcuts It won2t help you $lways wor! in stages
There may come a day where you actually hear a voice distinctly call your
name and spea! to you when you are /uite alone This will be an indication
that your progress has been observed and you have reached a degree of
advancement where you may /ualify for the higher spiritual training, which
is given telepathically
Crom a psychological point of reference, this means your three ;igher
"ha!ras *Throat, Third .ye and "rown cha!ras+ are starting to function and
an attunement between them is developing It also means that the two
halves of your ;ead "enter are coalescing into a unit
$CT.< you have given considerable effort to develop your ;eart, Third
.ye, "rown and Throat "ha!ras, it will be time to attune them The following
exercises will help speed up the attunement process
8art 7ne
Sit as usual with your head erect and your bac! straight
Cocus your attention in your ;.$<T ";$F<$, and as you do so, see
it bathed in a 8I0F cloud
Inhale to the count of 3
;old the breath in for the count of (4, and as you do, turn your

Then breathe out to the count of 3 while !eeping your attention at the top of
your head
Cinally, 1hold0 your 'reath out of your lungs *do not breathe+ for the count
of (4, and as you do so, see the 8I0F cloud expand and embrace your entire
body
8art Two

whole body and extends all around you to a distance of )&, feet
Sound 1$'B1 , times and then arise, putting all thought of the exercise out
of your mind immediately
8art Three is a most powerful exercise $s you observe, it is
designed to stimulate all three Sacred "enters *Throat, Brow and "rown
"ha!ras+ and to create an attunement among them 7n order for it to 'e
effe"tive, you must 'uild up to it <RAD;A11> Do not ma!e the mista!e of
attempting attunement before you have achieved at least a partial
development of the individual cha!ras 0o harm will befall you if you do, but
then no good will be accomplished either
";$F<$ D.9.#78B.0T & The .nd <esult
7nce you have begun to develop your cha!ra system, particularly your
;eart, Throat, Brow *pituitary+ and "rown *Third .ye+ cha!ras, you will
notice a difference in yourself
6ou may need less sleep, yet your energy will in no way diminish, but on the
contrary, your energy will seem limitless and the pathway to the astral
world will open up to you && if you want it to.
The standard organi:ed religions may hold less and less interest for
you 6ou will lose all capacity for harsh and un!ind words 6our heart and
mind will be filled with a striving toward an ever&clearer vision and ever&
broader understanding
<emember, the energy you draw to yourself will tend to follow the law of
Descending .nergy It will tric!le down to your Solar 8lexus cha!ra and into
your #ower cha!ras, if you permit it. It is all up to you and where you
focus your attention $ll your thoughts, emotions, and actions re/uire
energy
$s your ;igher "ha!ras develop, many fascinating by&roads will open up to
you and tempt you Cor example, your #ower appetites will demand more
and more attention Sex, food, drin!, leisure, and luxury will become more
and more appealing and ma!e greater demands on your self control 6ou
may thin! that you can control these things now, but when the time comes
that you must face them, you will be ama:ed and often confused by the
strange and subtle approaches you encounter
If you thought self&control was difficult, the next step
&& discrimination && is even more difficult $t this point, your 8sychic
"enters start to open, and as a general rule the very first door to open is
through the Solar 8lexus "ha!ra This path leads only to glamour
and illusion, and if you follow it, you will become hopelessly lost
The opening Solar 8lexus cha!ra awa!ens the #ower 8sychic
faculties When this happens you will gradually become aware of all sorts of
beings, sights, sounds, and smells which exist on the $stral 8lane ;ere
are the bodies of people who have recently died and even some who have
been dead a long time ;ere also are the entities which have never had a
carnal existence but which are the creations of human thought and emotion
$nd here can be found various si:es and shapes of animal&li!e entities,
some very strange and scary ;ere is the realm contacted by visionaries,
seers, psychics, and the li!e This is why I do not trust channeling "ontact
with entities on this plane are as reliable as someone you might meet on the
street
$s your Solar 8lexus cha!ra becomes active, you will here voices and see
forms which cannot be apprehended by the physical senses They will
appear li!e ghosts These are the telltale characteristics of the $stral World
6ou may be impressed by what you see and what you are told, but do not
allow yourself to be fooled "#$I<976$0". and "#$I<$'DI.0". are
natural by&products of higher psychic developmentBe very careful If
you allow the illusionary to occupy you, and you desire to see more and
more, this will lead to acceptance of the greatest deceptions 6ou need
to discriminate
$t this point you must again apply self&discipline 8ride and vanity will lead
you to great error, if you permit them Baintain your ability to
differentiate and discriminate between the true and the false,
between the real and unreal
The best solution is to wor! diligently to develop your ;eart and ;ead
"enter $s they open, your vision will be clear and you will see the astral
illusion for what it is 7ther dimensions will open before you 6ou will be
able to move freely from self&interest to brotherly love The motives of
others will become clear 6ou may have a feeling of future events and
therefore allow you to appraise the values in each situation you encounter
$nd you will receive the gift of compassion for others and a reluctance to
ta!e any steps that will harm them
ROOT cha&ra
"olor: Ciery <ed
.lement: .arth
Sense: Smell
Cundamental 8rinciple: 8hysical will of being as opposed to spiritual will of

Body $ssociation: Spinal column, bones, teeth, nails, anus, rectum, colon,
prostate gland, blood, and the building of cells
>lands: Suprarenal glands *which produce adrenalin and influence the
temperature balance of the body+
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The (st cha!ra *<oot "ha!ra+ is located between the anus and the genitals
It is connected with the coccyx and opens downward It connects us to the
physical world and lets the earthly energy enter our system When it is
open, we fully accept life on earth and en?oy the physical existence it
provides We act in harmony with the earthly forces and we learn from
them It also provides us with the necessary energy for creative self&
expression and lends us the power to achieve 7ur sexuality as a physical
function and a means of begetting children also reign in the <oot "ha!ra
The <oot "ha!ra is the source of the life force and forms the vital foundation
for all the higher cha!ras ;ere, the inexhaustible supply of !undalini
energy is awa!ened The sushumna, ida and pingala *the three main energy
channels of the human body+ begin in this cha!ra
The <oot "ha!ra is the true seat of the collective unconscious Through this
cha!ra, the stored !nowledge of the collective unconscious becomes
accessible This cha!ra should always function in harmony with the seventh
cha!ra in order to maintain our inner balance
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
If your <oot "ha!ra is open and functioning harmoniously, you will
experience a deep, personal relationship with .arth and earthly life forms
*0ature+ 6ou are rooted in life and your life is filled with satisfaction,
stability and inner strength 6our actions are guided by the desire to be
creatively active in shaping life on planet .arth 6ou perceive the earth as a
shelter and secure place It provides you with all your physical,
psychological and emotional needs 6ou are truly grateful for life on earth
DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
If your <oot "ha!ra is unbalanced or malfunctioning, your thoughts and
actions primarily revolve around material possessions and security, as well
as your over indulgence in sensual pleasures such as, good *exotic+ foods,
alcohol, sex, etc 6ou want your desires to manifest without consideration
of the conse/uences 6our inability to let go of these tendencies often
manifest themselves in the form of constipation and gaining weight, as in
overweight
6our actions revolve around satisfying your personal needs and you
unconsciously overloo! or ignore the needs of others as well as your own
*ie good health, sufficient rest and a balanced and harmonious life+ In the
extreme, if you are challenged by people or situations, you become easily
irritated, upset, aggressive, and you may have a tendency to violently
enforce your will upon others These feelings of rage, anger and violence
are actually a defense mechanism which indicate a lac! of trust && it2s a fear
of losing that which provides you with security and a feeling of well&being,
or your inability to gain it in the first place
If your <oot "ha!ra is bloc!ed or closed, you will lac! physical and
emotional stamina $ lot of things in life worry you 6ou are filled with
feelings of uncertainty 6ou lac! the power to achieve 7ften, you see life on
earth as a burden Cor you, life on earth is 07T a pleasure Bost of the time
you long for an easier, more pleasant and less strenuous way of life
If you have developed your higher cha!ras and neglected your lower ones,
you may feel that you don2t belong on the earth If your Sacral *)nd+ "ha!ra
and your Solar 8lexus *,rd+ "ha!ra are also bloc!ed, anorexia may result

Sense: Taste
Cundamental 8rinciple: "reative reproduction of being
Body $ssociation: 8elvic girdle, !idneys, bladder, and all li/uids, such as,
blood, lymph, gastric ?uice, sperm and regulation of the
female cycle
>lands: 8rostate, gonads, ovaries, testicles
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The )nd cha!ra *Sacral "ha!ra+ is located above the genitals It is
connected with the sacrum and opens towards the front We fertili:e and
receive the energies that permeate all of nature through the Sacral "ha!ra
The male reproductive organs as well as the impulse to procreate new life is
influenced by this cha!ra
Water cleanses and purifies It dissolves and washes away the bloc!ages
that obstruct its vital flow $lbeit the !idneys and bladder accomplish this
on the physical plane, on the spiritual plane the cleansing and purification
process manifests itself in the form of free&flowing feelings We loo! at life
as something primordial and new, and our interpersonal relationships with
the opposite sex are particularly influenced by the condition of the Sacral
"ha!ra
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
$n open and harmoniously functioning Sacral "ha!ra allows you to open
yourself towards others, especially the opposite sex 6our sexual union with
your lover *partner+ blossoms into the dance of creation 6ou feel the flow
of the male and female energies streaming through your body, soul and
mind
DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
The Sacral "ha!ra comes alive during puberty This is when a
malfunctioning Sacral "ha!ra often originates The awa!ening of sexual
energies cause a state of uncertainty within you 8arents and educators
rarely teach people how to handle these energies During your early infancy,
there may have been a lac! of tenderness and bodily contact, which may
later lead to the re?ection of sexuality $s a result, you are unable to
experience the uninhibited expression of your creative sexual potential and
these uninhibited energies may express themselves in the form of excessive
sexual fantasies or suppressed desires 6ou may also see sex as a drug
What you need to understand is that your creative sexuality has ?ust been
misdirected These actions breed uncertainty and sexual tension between
the sexes
In most cases, inade/uate functioning of the Sacral "ha!ra can be traced
bac! to childhood and infancy 6our parents probably withheld their own
sensuality and sexuality $dditionally, you probably had a lac! of sensual
stimulation in the form of touching, caresses, tenderness and affection
"onse/uently, you suppressed your feelings and withdrew your antennas,
so to spea!, turning off these sensual messages Then, during puberty, you
may have bloc!ed off your developing sexual energies completely This
suppression results in a lac! of self&esteem, emotional paralysis and sexual
coldness #ife in this light seems dreary and you may feel life is not worth
living These feelings often amplify teenagers2 tendencies to commit suicide

Body $ssociation: #ower bac!, abdomen, digestive system, stomach, liver,
spleen, gallbladder, autonomic nervous system
>lands: 8ancreas, which plays an important role in the digestion
of food and the secretion of insulin
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The ,rd cha!ra *Solar 8lexus "ha!ra+ is located about two fingerbreaths
above the navel and opens towards the front Its functions are highly
complex It represents our sun and our power center We absorb the solar
energy through the Solar 8lexus, which nurtures our ethereal body,
energi:ing and maintaining our physical body $lso, our emotional energy
radiates from here
The foundation of our personality is represented through the Solar 8lexus
"ha!ra 7ur social indentity and our desire to confirm it by personal
assertion, our will to achieve, our striving for power, and our adaptation to
social patterns all are influenced by the Solar 8lexus "ha!ra
The most important tas! of the Solar 8lexus "ha!ra is to purify the desires
and wishes of the lower cha!ras *Sacral and <oot+ To consciously control
and use the creative energy of these lower cha!ras and allow the spiritual
higher cha!ras to manifest in the material world is the greatest possible
fulfillment
The Solar 8lexus is directly connected to our astral *emotional+ body, which
is the center of our wishes and desires If we accept and integrate our
feelings, wishes and experiences in our lives, this will help our Solar 8lexus
relax and open up, thus increasing our inner light and illuminating our
situation in life
7ur moods are influenced by the amount of light we permit to shine within
us When the Solar 8lexus "ha!ra is opened, we feel enlightened, full of ?oy,
and an inner richness If it is bloc!ed, closed or disturbed, we feel gloomy
and unbalanced, etc It is important to note that we also 8<7J."T the same
moods and sensations into the world *environment+ around us #ife
therefore may seem either bright or dar! to us It is the amount of light
within us that determines the clearness of our vision and the /uality of what
we see
We also directly perceive the vibrations of other people through the Solar
8lexus and react accordingly If we are confronted with negative vibrations,
this cha!ra warns us 6ou2ve heard the saying, 1I2ve got a gut feeling1 This
is your Solar 8lexus tal!ing to you
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
6ou feel peace and an inner harmony with your Self, life in general, and
your place in the world 6ou have accepted yourself completely, and you
respect the feelings and character traits of others 6ou also accept your
feelings, wishes and experiences in life 6ou see them in the 1right light1
6our feelings, wishes and experiences are integrated in such a way that
lead to wholeness of being
$s an additional bonus, if your Third .ye "ha!ra *=th cha!ra+ and your
"rown "ha!ra *3th cha!ra+ are also open, you can recogni:e that all visible
matter consists of varying degrees of light vibrations Since all visible
matter is light, when these cha!ras are functioning in harmony with each
other, your wishes are fulfilled spontaneously 6ou are connected to the
energy of light in all things, and therefore, you attract everything you are in
search of to yourself
DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING

When your Solar 8lexus "ha!ra is malfunctioning, you want to manipulate
everything in accordance with your own wishes and desires% you want to
control your inner and outer worlds and con/uer and exercise power $n
inner restlessness and discontent drives you 6ou develop an enormous
urge to !eep active and busy This urge is your way of covering up your
persistent feelings of inade/uacy and shortcomings 6ou ?ust can2t let go
and relax 6ou need to understand that material wealth and recognition
cannot provide you with true, long&term happiness
$cceptance and material well&being are of primary importance for you 6our
true emotions are all bloc!ed, therefore, you are unable to express them
6ou get upset easily 6our irritation and agitation are an expression of all
the anger you have swallowed over a long period of time 6ou feel de?ected
and discouraged 6ou see obstacles everywhere 6ou believe these
obstacles are preventing you from fulfilling your desires When faced with a
difficult situation, you may feel /ueasy and uncertain, or you may get so
nervous your actions become hapha:ard and disorgani:ed 6ou want to hide
from and avoid all new challenges in life 6our perception of life is not good
6ou see unhappy endings everywhere you turn

Body $ssociation: ;eart, upper bac!, thorax and thoracic cavity, lower
lungs, the blood and circulatory system and the s!in
>land: Thymus, which regulates and controls the lymphatic system
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The -th cha!ra *;eart "ha!ra+ is located in the center of the breast at the
height of your heart and opens toward the front It is the center of the
entire cha!ra system and connects the #7W.< *8hysical L .motional
"enters+ to the three ;I>;.< *Bental L Spiritual "enters+
The ;eart "ha!ra is a very important cha!ra With the ;eart "ha!ra we find
the capability to empathi:e and sympathi:e with others We attune
ourselves with the cosmic vibrations and perceive the beauty in nature,
music, visual arts and poetry ;ere, all images, words and sounds are
transformed into feelings
$ll yearning for deep intimate contact, oneness, harmony, love, even
sorrow, pain, fear of separation or loss of love is expressed through the
;eart "ha!ra When completely opened, it forms the center of true
1unconditional1 love
When this 1unconditional1 love is connected with the higher cha!ras, it
transforms itself into Bha!ti, the Divine #ove, which guides us to unity with
this Divine ;eart of all things in the universe .nroute toward this goal, our
heart must learn to love, understand and accept ourselves *personality+
which is the prere/uisite to saying 1yes1 to others and life in general $ll
our experiences, wishes and emotions have a much deeper sense and
purpose, which guide us to a loving acceptance that all feelings and
expressions of life originate from the longing for love
With every negation and re?ection, we regenerate separation and negativity,
whereas a positive and loving acceptance *a conscious 1yes1+ produces
vibrations which neutrali:e *!ill, so to spea!+ negative thoughts and
feelings Simply put, you can neutrali:e those intense feelings of grief,
anger or despair with your loving, unbiased and undivided attention &&
positive thoughts and feelings
With our ;eart "ha!ra, we possess a great potential for healing others as
well as ourselves If you suffer from pain or illness, send the afflicted organ
or area of your body your loving attention and it will help and accelerate the
recuperation period enormously If we can learn to love from the depths of
our own heart and fully accept our entire personality, an opened ;eart
"ha!ra can have a spontaneous healing or transforming influence on
ourselves and others
The ;eart "ha!ra radiates colors of green, pin!, and sometimes gold >reen
is the color of healing and sympathy and harmony If an enlightened person
*ie someone who can see human auras+ perceives a clear, light&green in a
person2s heart cha!ra, this would indicate a well&developed capability to
heal, while a golden aura mixed with pin! would show a person who lives in
pure and selfless love of the Divine
Within the ;eart "ha!ra is the deepest and most vivid feelings of love It
also plays an important role in refining the perception of an open Third .ye,
and it is for this reason that the spiritual schools in the .ast concentrate
particularly on the opening of the ;eart "ha!ra
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
Wor!ing in harmony with all the other cha!ras, a completely open ;eart
"ha!ra can change the world around you and unite, reconcile, or even heal
the person within your surroundings 6our entire being radiates natural
warmth, sincerity and happiness These wondrous energies open the hearts
of the people around you, inspiring confidence and creating ?oy among
them $ great compassion and willingness to help others comes perfectly
natural to you
6ou love for love2s sa!e 6ou are motivated by the ?oy of giving and do not
expect to gain anything in return 6our heart is in everything you do 6ou
1unconditionally1 love allG
Through this wisdom, you view the world and personal experiences in a new
light 6ou no longer loo! at life from a distance and thin! that it has nothing
to do with you 6ou see all life as part of your own life and that 1life1 in its
purest and most original form really signifies an everlasting expression of
Divine #ove and bliss
$ll is loveG

DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
$ malfunctioning ;eart "ha!ra may express itself in various ways 6ou may
want to always be there for others and give freely, but consciously, you may
want@expect recognition in return for all the love you give them Then, if
your efforts are not sufficiently appreciated, you may feel deeply
disappointed
6ou may also feel that you are strong and powerful enough to give away
some of your stength but incapable of accepting the love that others may
want to give you In this way, you are unable to open yourself to receiving
the love of others .motions aligned with tenderness and softness probably
embarrass you and ma!e you feel wea!, vulnerable to in?ury and dependent
upon the love and affection of others
6ou are deeply hurt by re?ection, especially after you gathered the courage

inner shell 6ou are sad and depressed 6ou want to give your love but your
fear of being re?ected ma!es it impossible 6ou feel you don2t !now how to
love, thus reinforcing your shortcomings and inability
6ou may compensate for your lac! of love by adopting an extremely friendly
personality, treating people e/ually in an impersonal manner without
genuine involvement When your heart is called for, you may evade the
situation and shut yourself off because you are afraid of possible in?ury If
your ;eart "ha!ra is completely closed, you will express coldness,
indifference or even 1heartlessness1 6ou are completely out of balance and
suffer from depression Sadly, unhappiness is a way of life for you

THROAT cha&ra
"olor: 8ale blue, greenish&blue
.lement: .ther
Sense: ;earing
Cundamental 8rinciple: <esonance of being
Body $ssociation: 0ec!, throat, ?aw, ears, voice, trachea, brochial tubes,
upper lungs, esophagus and arms
>land: Thyroid, which regulates the transformation of food into
energy via our metabolism It also controls the iodine
metabolism and the balance of calcium in our blood and tissue
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The 5th cha!ra *Throat "ha!ra+ is located between the depression in the
nec! and the larynx, beginning at the cervical vertebra It starts at the
cervical vertebra and opens towards the front It is also connected to a
small secondary cha!ra which has its seat in the nec! *and opens to the
bac!+ Since the two cha!ras are so closely related, they have been
integrated as one
The Throat "ha!ra is the center of the human capacity of expression,
communication and inspiration and is connected to a smaller secondary
cha!ra, which has its seat in the nec! and opens to the bac! Since they are
so closely lin!ed, they are integrated together as the Throat "ha!ra
$s an important lin! between the lower cha!ras and the "rown "ha!ra, the
Throat "ha!ra serves as a bridge between our thoughts and feeling,
impulses and reactions ;ere we express our laughter, crying, feelings of
love and happiness, anxiety, aggressiveness, intentions, desires, as well as
our ideas, !nowledge and perceptions of the inner worlds
The Throat "ha!ra enables us to reflect on our thoughts and actions The
more we develop the Throat "ha!ra, the more aware we are of our mental
body and our ability to distinguish between our mental and emotional,
ethereal and physical bodies $s a result, our thoughts are no longer
dominated by our feelings and physical sensations
.ther is regarded in 6oga teaching as the basic element which forms the
lower cha!ras && earth, water, fire and air The light blue color of ether is
the medium of the spo!en word and the communicating element of
information If we are calm and listen to our inner and outer space, we will
be granted the deepest level of !nowledge, !nown as the $!asha *the astral
light where all the events, thoughts and feelings that have occurred since
the beginning of time are recorded+
We communicate our inner life through the spo!en word, as well as through
gestures and creative forms of expression *ie music, the performing arts,
dancing, etc+ The Sacral "ha!ra and the Throat "ha!ra lin! with the
energies of the other cha!ras into an etheric form which is communicated to
the outside world
Since we can only express that which we find in ourselves, we need to
distance ourselves in order to reflect on our thoughts and actions The
Throat "ha!ra enables us this certain distance In other words, we need to
develop the Throat "ha!ra in order to become more conscious of our mental
body and distinguish between the factors of the mental, emotional, ethereal
and physical bodies In this way our thoughts are no longer dominated by
feelings and physical sensations
;earing is also assigned to the Throat "ha!ra 7pen your ears and listen to
the voices of "reation ;ere we also hear our inner voice and communicate
with our inner spirit and receive inspiration
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
When the Throat "ha!ra is completely open, your feelings, thoughts and
inner !nowledge are expressed freely and without fear 6ou express your
inner honesty towards yourself and others by your upright posture
6ou possess the ability to fully express yourself with your entire
personality, and at the same time, you remain silent and listen to others
with all your heart and understanding 6our speech is imaginative and
colorful and perfectly clear, and your voice is full and melodious When
faced with difficulties and resistance you are able to say 1no1 && if that is
what you truly mean
6ou are not swayed or manipulated by people2s opinions 6ou maintain your
independence, freedom and self&determination 6ou have no pre?udices 6ou
are open and aware of the reality of the subtle dimensions from which you
receive the guidance of your inner voice 6ou trust yourself in the hands of
this guidance 6ou possess the capability to communicate directly with life
of all spheres of existence, and where applicable, you pass the !nowledge
you have gained onto others without fearing their reactions and opinions
DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
If the energies in your Throat "ha!ra are bloc!ed or closed, then the
communciation lin! between your mind and body will be bloc!ed && .ither
you find it difficult to reflect upon your feelings and you express your
unresolved emotions in thoughtless actions, or, you may hide inside your
intellect and deny your emotions a right to live and be heard
The only feelings you permit are those which you have self&?udged and that
do not contradict the ?udgement of the people around you 6ou have an
unconscious feeling of guilt and your own inherent fears prevent you from
seeing and showing your true Self 6ou cannot express your deepest
thoughts and feelings freely
6our language may be noisy, unpleasant and offensive, or cold, indifferent
and business&li!e 6ou may stutter 6our voice is loud but your words lac!
depth of meaning 6ou try to appear strong% you do not permit yourself to
show any wea!ness% and you probably place yourself under a lot of
pressure
6ou use your excessive expressive capabilities to manipulate others or to
attract attention to yourself $lthough you may possess deep, inner
!nowledge, you are afraid to live and@or express it because you fear
?udgement from others In order to release this deep !nowledge, you may
express it in the form of poems, paintings or other forms of similar
expression, then reluctantly, openly share it with others
6ou cannot show and express yourself well, if at all 6ou withdraw your
inner Self completely 6ou are shy, /uiet, withdrawn, and when you tal!,
you tal! about trivial matters
6ou /uic!ly get a lump in your throat if you try to express your deeper
thoughts and feelings 6our voice sounds forced When this happens, you
may stutter 6ou feel uncertain 6ou are afraid of the ?udgement of others
6ou are out of touch with your soul, therefore, you do not trust your
intuitive powers
If you do not develop your Throat "ha!ra, you will find yourself imprisoned
in a small restrictive space surrounded by your own self&built walls
6our insecurities dominate your life

"olor: Indigo, yellow, yellow&green or violet
Sense: Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, also extrasensory perception
Cundamental 8rinciple: Fnowledge of being
Body $ssociation: Cace, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, cerebellum, and
central nervous system
>land: 8ituitary It is sometimes referred to as the 1master gland1
It is li!e the conductor of an archestra && Its secretional
activities control the function of the other glands
PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The =th cha!ra *Third .ye+ is located a fingerbreath above the bridge of the
nose in the center of the forehead and opens to the front The Third .ye
"ha!ra is also associated with the pituitary gland ;ere, conscious
perception of being ta!es place It is the seat of our higher mental powers
7n the physical plane, it is the highest center of command for the central
nervous system
$lthough indigo blue is normally associated with the Third .ye
"ha!ra, yellow, yellow&green and violet can also be seen under meditation
These colors indicate different functions at different levels of consciousness
Cor exampre, rational or intellectual thought may produce yellow radiation%
intuition and holistic cognition, a clear, dar!&blue% and extrasensory
perception, shades of violet
.very reali:ation in our lives begins with a thought and a pro?ected image
By our mental powers, we are connected with the process of manifestation
via the Third .ye It is important to understand that all !nowledge
manifested in "reation already exists This !nowledge is all contained in the
pure Being in the same way a seed contains all the information of the
finished plant In Juantum physics, this is also !nown as the 1standardi:ed
field1
The shapelessness Being manifests first a pattern of vibration Then, from
this first vibration, each step in the development of awareness creates a
new and differentiated pattern of vibration
Crom the pure ethereal being to the denseness of matter, all levels of
creation are contained in human life These levels of creation are
represented in the cha!ras with their various levels of vibration% thus, the
process of manifestation ta!es place within and through us
The Third .ye is the seat of consciousness attainment ;erein we can
manifest matter and demateriali:e it We can create new realities and
dissolve old ones Cor the most part, this is an automatic process that ta!es
place without any conscious action on our part
Bost of our decisive thoughts are controlled by unresolved emotional
patterns, which are programmed by our opinions and pre?udices and those
of others $s a result, our BI0D is often 07T the Baster but the Servant of
our emotional thoughts
By developing our consciousness and Third .ye "ha!ra, we can control our
lives 7ur imagination can create the energy necessary for the fulfillment of
our wishes $nd, when I0 "70J'0"TI70 WIT; an open ;eart "ha!ra, we
can send out healing energies to those close at hand and far away
$t the same time, we can gain access to all levels of creation beyond the
physical reality This !nowledge manifests itself in the form of I0T'ITI70,
"#$I<976$0"., or the ;68.<S.0SITI9IT6 of hearing or feeling Things
that were vaguely suspected before are now perceived very clearly
HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
9ery few people today have a completely open Third .ye without an
advanced state of consciousness The Third .ye "ha!ra needs to be
D.9.#78.DG ;owever, there are telltale signs of a harmonious functioning
Third .ye, such as, an active mind and advanced intellectual s!ills *ie a
compelling holistic pursuit of scientific research, or the recognition of far&
reaching philosophical truths may be a sign of a partially open and
harmoniously functioning Third .ye+
6ou possess a well&developed ability of visuali:ation and comprehension of
things intuitively 6ou are receptive to mystic truths 6ou reali:e more and
more that the world is but an allegory, a spiritual principle that has
manifested itself on the physical level Crom time to time, you notice that
your thoughts or ideas have come true
If you develop your Third .ye completely, you will perceive the world in a
new light 6our thin!ing will be holographic 6ou will perceive and
spontaneously integrate the information from different spheres of creation
into your growing capability of all&consciousness@awareness
The material world will become transparent to you 6our conscious is a
mirror for the Divine, and the material world a mirror for the energy that
exist on all levels of being
6our extrasensory perception is so clear you directly perceive the energies
at wor! beneath the surface of the physical world, and you reali:e that you
can consciously control these energies $0D create your own forms of
manifestationG
6our intuition and inner sight will open the doors to all the subtle
planes@dimensions of reality, which consist of an endless number of worlds
between the physical *materialistic+ planes of creation and pure Being $nd
you will reali:e that these other worlds@dimensions are inhabited by a wide
variety of life forms
DISHARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
6ou are what is considered, 1top&heavy1 6ou live completely in the realm of
your mental sphere 6our life is determined almost exclusively by reason
and intellect $ll aspects of your life are organi:ed in an intellectual manner%
therefore, you can only perceive with your rational mind $lthough your
intellectual s!ills may be very sharp and well developed, and you may have
a !een analytical ability, you lac! a holistic way of seeing things
6ou can easily fall prey to intellectual arrogance 6ou accept only those
things that your mind can comprehend and that can be demonstrated and
proven by scientific analysis 6ou perceive spiritual insight as unscientific
and unrealistic and re?ect them outright
6ou may attempt to influence others or events by intellectual force to
demonstrate your power, satisfy your personal needs, and@or feed your ego
In this case, your Solar 8lexus "ha!ra is usually out of balance and your
;eart and "rown "ha!ra are only developed to a slight degree $ll the
"ha!ras play a part in the whole BeingG
6our life is dominated by materialistic desires and physical needs without
emotional consideration 6ou find spiritual reflection and discussion a strain
and waste of time 6ou view spiritual truths as senseless dreaming without
any practical use 6our thoughts are strictly aligned with the conventional
lines of societal thought
6ou easily lose your temper in demanding situations 6ou are also probably
very forgetful In extreme cases, your thin!ing will be muddled and
confused and completely determined by unresolved emotional patterns 6ou
are blind, deaf and dumb to the spiritual realms of sight, sound and speech
The only reality you see, hear, spea! and accept is the physical, external,
visible world
In the grand scale of #ife, your world is very small

PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The 3th cha!ra *"rown "ha!ra+ is located at the middle of the head and
opens upward The "rown "ha!ra is also associated with the pineal gland,
which is located in the middle of the head between the ears The "rown
"ha!ra is often represented in religious paintings as a halo above the head
It2s predominant color is violet, but it glows in all the colors of the rainbow
The "rown "ha!ra unites in itself all the energies of the lower cha!ra
centers It is the source of energy for all the other cha!ras
;ere we started our ?ourney into life, and at the end of our development,
this is where we will return ;ere we live and experience '0IT6 with the
primordial Divine principle and where our personal energy field becomes
70. with the universe
The awareness the "rown "ha!ra gives us dwarfs the !nowledge the Third
.ye "ha!ra conveys We now completely comprehend our intellectual and
intuitive understanding We experience our bodies as an expression of
"reation as the divine consciousness of which we have become a part
The color violet is associated with the unfolding of the "rown "ha!ra It is
the color of meditation and devotion $lbeit we can consciously influence
the activation of all our lower cha!ras, with the "rown "ha!ra all we can do
is open ourselves up to its influence and allow things to happen through us
With the unfolding of the "rown "ha!ra, any bloc!ages that may remain in
the lower six cha!ras dissolve and their energies will begin to vibrate at
their highest possible fre/uencies, each cha!ra wor!ing at its own level as a
mirror of the Divine Being
When the "rown "ha!ra is completely awa!ened, it ceases to absorb the
cosmic energies and starts to radiate its own energy $ lotus blossom
blossoms out, so to spea!, and forms a crown of pure white light on and
above the head This same energy is portrayed in the artistic paintings of
Jesus the "hrist as a crown of white light radiating from the top of his head

HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING
The "rown "ha!ra can only be developed to a greater or lesser extent% 6our
development with the other six cha!ras determines the degree There are
no bloc!ages as such in the "rown "ha!ra When the "rown "ha!ra begins
to open, your consciousness will become completely calm and open 6ou will
experience your real Self and reali:e that your Self is part of the
omnipresent pure Being which is contained in all matter $s you develop
your "rown "ha!ra, these moments will occur more fre/uently
When your Self is ready for this final step of enlightenment, you will !now
7ne day you will feel as if you have ?ust awa!ened from a long dream of
illusion, and for the first time you see the real reality of life There is no
turning bac! in your development now 6ou reali:e that what you have
found is your true Self 6our individual ego has been transformed into a
universal ego If you want to !now something, all you need to do is as! by
directing your attention accordingly .verything exists within you 6ou are
70. with the divine Being, and it is through this 70.0.SS that the $##
exists
6ou now reali:e that matter is nothing but a form of thought in the Divine
"onsciousness and that it does not really 1exists1 as such $ll that you
thought was real up to this point you now perceive as an illusion
Interestingly enough, you are open to the energies of the "rown "ha!ra
every seven years The seven year cycles are: ages 3, (-, )(, )A, ,5, -), -I,
5=, =,, 34 During this period, you can develop a depth and insight and
wholeness that you would have considered impossible before Beditation
and selfless devotion now provide you with insight into your Divine origin
This helps you experience a feeling of 70.0.SS 'se this opportunity to
dwell more within yourself Beditate This is a seemingly magical time in
your life
It is also interesting to note that an infant2s fontanel remains open for the
first I&)- months of its life, and it is during this particular period in their life
when they live in an awareness *consciousness+ of undivided unity
CLOSED CROWN CHAKRA CHARACTERISTICS
'p to this point, we have been told how the opening and harmoni:ation of
all the cha!ras can provide us with a great deal of !nowledge, experience
and s!ills But if we do not open the "rown "ha!ra, we will feel separated
from abundance and wholeness We will not be completely free from fear,
and it is this fear that always maintains some remnants of bloc!ages within
the cha!ras, therefore, they are unable to unfold our cha!ras complete
range of possibilities Their individual energies will not vibrate in complete
harmony with the 1dance of creation,1 nor with each other
6ou may experience feelings of uncertainty and a lac! of purpose if you do
not open yourself to spiritual truths during the years when your "rown
"ha!ra can develop 6ou should interpret these feelings as a hint to loo!
inside yourself more fre/uently $dditionally, you may become more
conscious of a certain senselessness in your life, or the fear of death may
visit you more fre/uently 6ou may control these feelings by escaping into
excessive activity, !eeping yourself busy, or you may burden yourself with
new responsibilities Juite often, people in this condition fall ill If you
ignore these profound messages, your life may become a life stuc! in
superficiality $s a conse/uence, you limit the potential of your Self to
develop In essence, opportunity lost
