Harmonize and Balance the Chakras

Certain teachings suggest that enlightenment can only be attained through material and/or sexual abstinence. This leads to an imbalance between the top three chakras involved in introspective processes and the lower three chakras which interact with the material world. A rejection of any of our lower chakras ultimately leads to a disturbance in our heart chakra. How can we love ourselves if we reject a part of ourselves?

The ethereal body which resembles the physical body in shape and dimension, is the seat of the seven main chakras. The chakras are connecting us with the unlimited world of subtle energies. Through them we send out healing vibrations as well as subconscious or conscious messages that influence the world around us, both in a positive and in a negative sense.

To increase the energy flow from the spiritual body through the mental and astral bodies down to the ethereal body, the chakras should be harmonized and developed.

There is about 88.000 chakras, but only around 40 important secondary chakras. Some of these are located in the area of the spleen, the back of the neck, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The seven primary chakras are of great importance, not only to the functioning of our physical body but also to our mind and soul.

The simple exercise below balances the three lower physical/emotional chakras with the three higher mental/spiritual chakras.
