All About Chakras

Hi, everyone, it's Amanda. And today we're talking about chakras, which are part of the human energy system. So chakras are energy centers that go down the center of your body. And there are seven main chakras. And I've got them outlined over here as to which ones are what. But before we delve into that, I want to talk a little bit about the anatomy of the chakra. I've got a separate video for that, but. But I just wanted to go into this a little bit more to give you a little bit deeper understanding. So a chakra is an energy center down the middle of your body. And this is represented on the front and the back of your body for all but two of the chakras. So you have a representation on the front of your body for the chakra and a representation on the back of your body for a chakra. It goes all the way through. And this right here is like the main energy conduit that runs through your body. If you've ever heard anyone talk about raising their kundalini, that type of thing, this is the energy channel that goes all the way up through your body here. And that's what all these chakras are connected to. It's like main power current. All right, so this is the front view of the chakra. If you're looking at yourself right here, this, this is what it looks like from the front of you. Okay. And if a chakra is healthy in general, it's going to spin this direction, it's going to spin clockwise if someone else is looking at you. So, like as a practitioner, when I'm looking at a chakra, this is what I see. If I see a healthy chakra, it's spinning this direction. And the reason for the spin is because that is what is bringing the energy in to your body. And that's, that's what runs your whole system. That's what it, you know, that's its food, that's what it runs on. So it's kind of like electricity, but it's in the fields all around us. It's just in there, all around us. We have this universal energy field that we pull energy from, and that's how it gets in is the spin of the chakra. Like I said, if the chakra is healthy, it's going to spin this direction. If it's an imbalanced chakra, if it's got something going on, if maybe, you know, say your emotional center, your personal power center, if those are out of whack, sometimes those can be spinning backwards and it's actually throwing energy out of your body. And when that's happening, you start to develop illnesses and you start to feel very depleted in those particular areas of your body and your life and your emotional states, if it corresponds with that at all, which it normally does, it all kind of plays together. So this is a healthy spin of a chakra. Each one of the chakras is represented inside each other's chakra. It kind of looks like if you've ever seen a lotus pod, those used to be really big to decorate with in like the 80s and 90s. You see fire arrangements, but they kind of look like this. Okay, so there's seven chakras, and each one of these chakras is represented inside each other, like I just said. So you would have each little spinning vortices here, and then you have the major spinning vortices this way. So, like, you'll have your root chakra, you'll have your sacral, your solar plexus, your heart, your throat, your third eye, and your crown are each represented inside each other chakra. And that's just because all of our energy systems work together. It's a very holistic representation of our being to all work together as one unit versus being separate and disjointed. So now we're going to talk about each individual chakra and kind of what that chakra represents in your life and what it's connected to. So the first chakra is the root chakra. Okay, so this is stability, security, basic needs. When we talk about grounding, that's the chakra that needs to be open. That's the chakra that needs to be working correctly in order for us to be drawing energy up from the earth. That gives us stability in our life. If we are feeling flighty and having lots of anxiety and that type of thing, we are not grounded. So this is a chakra that I always go to first. Whenever someone is not grounded, this is usually where I find the congestion and the problem is here. Another thing I always look for here. A lot of people that are spiritual tend to be very frustrated with their incarnation. They tend to be very frustrated with being here on the planet. And I can hear the chakras when I'm working with them. And, and they will tell me different things. And if the person is not comfortable here on the planet, if they're not being effective in their life, this chakra will say, get me out of here, get me off this planet. I don't want to be here. What am I doing here, that kind of thing. So that's when there has to be a conversation with the chakra itself and say, hey, you know what? You can make the best of this place. Let's talk about it. And lots of times it's just fears and misunderstanding and confusion inside the chakra itself. So we'll get in there and we'll start working with those pieces and we'll start really digging in and seeing what the base of those are. Sometimes it's derived from childhood, but a lot of times it has to do with the time in between incarnations and where the soul originated from and where it is now. And sometimes there's just incongruency there. So that's a whole other level and a whole other story for another time. But, but that's what I see when I look at the chakra a lot of times. And this chakra is found right here. Again, it draws energy up from the earth here. And this around this, in case you missed that video, this is the aura. And the aura does correspond with these different energy centers in the body. This first auric layer corresponds with that chakra, the root chakra. Okay, so now we're going to go to the second chakra, which is the sacral chakra. Creativity, sexual center. Personal power is something that I added here because when I work with people, this is what I find. I find personal power is here. A lot of people say it's here, and not that it's not here at all, but for most people, I feel like it's more here. If someone's chakra is out of whack, if it's spinning the wrong direction, you know, if it's spinning this way instead of this way, if it's enlarged, a lot of times chakras will become enlarged. If it's trying to do more than it's capable of doing. This chakra right here is the give, give, give chakra. If you're not receiving in your life, if you are just giving, giving and giving, this chakra is going to expand and it's going to become what I like to call the floppy pancake chakra. It's so big and it hangs off your body and it just lays there because, you know, you get to a point, I have these people come in and they go, I can't give anything else to anyone. And that's why, because this chakra has expanded to the point where it's not capable of doing anything. And a lot of times we even have to remove the outer portion of the chakra. It's this one right here. For it to work correctly and of course we resize it and reshape it and all of that energetically to make that work right? So giving and receiving, super, super important in life. Even if someone says thank you, you need to be able to say you're welcome. Or if someone says you look great today, you need to be able to say thank you. Those simple things. That's a really good way to start. If you're having issues with giving your receiving, don't push that energy away. Take it in, because it's going to help you balance your life. Okay, so the third chakra is the solar plexus chakra. I found emotions and expression and like I said, a lot of people say personal power here, not that it's not, but this is more what I find, emotions and expression. So when we're talking about the chakra here, excuse me, this is, you know, kind of your stomach. When your stomach's upset, when you're stressed out, you have emotional issues. This is where that lands, right there. And I've seen lately a lot of people, this chakra will actually be tucked inside their body sometimes all the way because they're so stressed and they're so sensitive emotionally that they can't deal with anything. And so they shut themselves down emotionally. But when you do that, you start having less stomach acid in your stomach. You're not digesting your food, your enzymes aren't working correctly from your pancreas. It's just this snowball effect of health problems. Okay? And then plus, you're not grounded. If you've got a lot of emotional stuff going on, you've pulled your root up, you've got just total instability here in the middle of your body. So again, they'll be spinning the wrong way. Sometimes these will be sprung like a little spring because they're wound like this. So if like say the emotional chakra, the solar plexus, if that is, if that is really stressed out, it could be sprung out here like a spring. And when that's happening, think about if something's off balance and you spin it, how it just, it wobbles. And so you have this instability in your life in all these different ways. One minute you're fine, the next minute you're not fine emotionally or physically or whatever you want to call it. It's this instability that keeps going around in your body. Okay? So the fourth is the heart chakra, and that's right here. Okay. It bridges the spirit and the physical, and it is where we love from. Of course, it's the main center of love. But love is one of those things that, you know, we have experience that in the physical body, but we also experience that from the spiritual realm. And what this chakra does is it really does a good job of bridging those two worlds together and bringing that together, because love is all. Love is everywhere. So that is what this does a really good job of. Physical ailments for this. If someone has heart problems physically, it's because they've got heart problems emotionally and energetically. Everything, I mean, everything that starts, that manifests in the physical body is present in the etheric body first. It's present in these auric layers. It's present in your chakras first. And after it's present in the chakra, it becomes manifest in the physical body. So it's super important to take care of your energy system. Be sure you get it worked on. You can go to energy healers, you can do videos, you can do meditations. There's all kinds of different ways that you can take care of your energy system. We'll go into that in other videos. But the heart chakra is here that bridges the spiritual and physical worlds. So next we have the fifth chakra, which is the throat chakra. And that is where you communicate from, where you speak from, where you speak your truth from. Okay? So of course it's right here where you'd expect it to be. It's in the throat. If this is spinning the other way, if it's got some strong pieces inside of it, chakras can actually have tears in them as well. They can have all kinds of different damage to them. They can also be congested with energy, where the energy's not flowing in like this. Maybe it's just, you know, maybe it's a really thin. Maybe it's a really thin little. It's kind of flowing in here, but maybe it's not flowing in there, you know, that kind of thing. The throat chakra, the way illnesses show up in the throat chakra is sore throats. It shows up as thyroid problems. People with autoimmune disorders of the thyroid oftentimes, you know, people that I see that come in, walk through my door, they're not heard in their life in some way. Maybe they've had a divorce and they have difficult ex, or they were never heard by their parents. And that pattern is perpetuated throughout their life because it was manifest when they were young. And that frequency is just an underlying frequency that's carried throughout their life. So it manifests here. The sixth chakra is your third eye chakra. When we talk about meditation, when we talk about consciousness, when we talk about subconscious, all those pieces, clairvoyance, esp. This is the third eye chakra. This is the one that people like to focus on. Excuse me for opening up your mind, opening up that consciousness so that you have the ability and capacity to access these different realms and these different understandings that not everyone has here on the planet. Okay? So that's what this one is about. And this chakra, if it's clogged up, a lot of times you have headaches, sinus problems, that kind of thing. And so that's that chakra, the seventh chakra is our spiritual chakra, our crown chakra. Okay? So that chakra has to do with the divine. Our connection to Source is here. So whenever we're connecting, whenever we're doing this exercises where we're bringing in the white light, we're bringing it into our body, we're breathing into that and allowing our system to be cleared of all of those lower vibrational pieces. This is where this comes in. Okay. This chakra, if it's open, it's bringing in the energy from Source, and that really helps our stability as well. So if we're bringing energy up from the root and we're bringing energy down from here, and it's connecting in our heart chakra and going throughout our system, we're in good shape. Okay, so that is an overview of the chakras in a little more detail. And I'll see you next time.
