“Clearing chakras can lead to discomfort
that gives way to bliss”
Della Reside
Energy centers within the human body that help regulate all processes, from organ function to the immune system and emotions.
As one removes the blockages through the energy centers or chakras that prohibit the free flow of intelligent energy, then progress in evolution of mind, body, spirit is greatly enhanced. When one, through discipline, or through the gift of spirit achieves a body free of chakra blockages, one is free of ill health and sickness and one is properly tuned to do work effectively in the higher energy centers and one may enter the gateway to intelligent infinity. This can be seen as a completed circuit.
Furthermore, energy centers that are blocked will make themselves known to us by manifesting as pain, illness, disease in both the body and mind. If you have a pain in your abdomen for instance, this could be a blocked energy center trying to alert you.
Classic symptoms of blocked chakras
- Chronic physical pain
- Mental illness, depression, anxiety, confusion
- Disease, cancer
- Organ disfunction, failure
- Personality disorders & eccentricities
- Lack of compassion
- Anger, egotistical
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor or overactive sex drive
- Social issues
Imagine the energetic body as a pipe with 7 energy centers. As intelligent energy flows upward through the bottoms of the feet, to the base of the spine, if the red or root chakra is blocked this will prevent energy from moving upward beyond that point, thus blocking every energy center above it. This is the fundamental mechanics of how prana works with the energy body. If prana meets a blocked chakra, it cannot continue upward beyond that point to the other chakras. If a chakra is partially blocked or muddied in color, it will close off a portion of the free flow of prana.
If there are no blockages in any chakra, energy will pass completely through the pipe and continue upward through the top of your head in a fountain of colored light, tinged by each of your energy centers. If one was able to see this fountain exit the top of the head, it would appear as a circular spray of radiated light that moves in all directions as it acts more like water than light and falls down to mix with the energy of the earth and go back up through the feet again, creating a torus with you in the center.
