Looking At The 7 Chakra
The term Chakra has its roots in the ancient Sanskrit word Chakram, which literally means ‘wheel’ and refers to the seven wheel like energy centers in a human body. Thus, these are whorls of energy located in the subtle body of an individual where reception and transmission of energies take place. It can be said that the state of each of the 7 chakra correlates to major nerve ganglia originating from our spinal cords and reflects the physical health and the psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a person.
The lowest on the vertical line of the 7 chakras, lie the Muladhar Chakra at the last bone in the spinal cord between the genitals and the anus. Symbolized by a red lotus with 4 petals, it is known as the Base or Root Chakra and it stands for identity, group force, survival and instinct. This chakra is about what a man is and where he belongs, his tribal or group identity. You can feel this group force when you see your country win the gold medal or while watching the national parade, hearing the national anthem and so on.
Second in line in the 7 chakras, lie the Swadhisthana Chakra symbolized by an orange lotus with 6 petals. Located in the sacrum and above the Muladhar Chakra, it is physically linked to the human reproduction system but more importantly it is all about relationship and partnerships. Becoming active around age 7, the key issues of this chakra are the aspects of the basic emotional needs of man, his pleasures and his choice making abilities.
After the Muladhar and Swadhisthana chakras for group/tribal power and power of self in relation to others, the third to compete the trilogy is that of the Manipura Chakra standing for the personal power or the concept of self. Becoming distinct since the time of puberty, this chakra is symbolized by a yellow rose with 10 petals. Since it is located in the pancreas region, physically it deals with all metabolism and digestion issues of man but otherwise, the key issues are those of formation of individuality, one’s personality and individuality with self esteem and self respect being some of the important components of the same.
After the trilogy of the self is complete, we come to that point where the self in its body meets the spirit. The centre to the 7 chakras, the Anahata Chakra is known as the center power house of man and stands for complex emotions towards spirituality. Symbolized by a green lotus with 12 petals it is located near the heart and is physically related to it and the immune system of man. The key issues of this chakra are those of divine love, tenderness, compassion, trust, inspiration, hope and equilibrium.
The fifth of the 7 chakra is that of Vishuddha or the power of will. A pale blue or turquoise lotus with 16 petals, it is located in the throat region beside the thyroid gland and stands for growth, self expression, communication and maturation.
The sixth of the 7 chakras is the Ajna Chakra given by a white or an indigo lotus with 2 petals. Located in the eyebrow region of the forehead, it is physically linked to the pineal gland governing sleep and wakefulness of an individual. Known as the Wisdom Chakra, it is all about detachment of the subjective perceptions and embarking on a spiritual path towards development of one’s conscious and sub conscious psychological realms for enabling him to distinguish between truth and illusion.
The last and the final of the 7 Chakra is the Sahasrara Chakra of pure consciousness. A vivid violet lotus with a thousand petals, it is located at the crown of one’s head and stands for the final spiritual journey of man in realizing the ultimate truth. The inner aspects of this chakra involves the practice of meditation, release of one’s karma, realizing one’s true potential and the immortality and omnipotence of the soul.
