What is a Chakra??
"Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed.

These chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system. The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to feel, and through which perceptual filter we choose to experience the world around us.

The chakras are not physical. They are aspects of consciousness in the same way that the auras are aspects of consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, but not as dense as the physical body. They interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus. Thus, each chakra can be associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland associated with that chakra.

All of your senses, all of your perceptions, all of your possible states of awareness, everything it is possible for you to experience, can be divided into seven categories. Each category can be associated with a particular chakra. Thus, the chakras represent not only particular parts of your physical body, but also particular parts of your consciousness.

When you feel tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the chakra associated with that part of your consciousness experiencing the stress, and in the parts of the physical body associated with that chakra. Where you feel the stress depends upon why you feel the stress. The tension in the chakra is detected by the nerves of the plexus associated with that chakra, and transmitted to the parts of the body controlled by that plexus. When the tension continues over a period of time, or to a particular level of intensity, the person creates a symptom on the physical level.

The symptom speaks a language that reflects the idea that we each create our reality, and the metaphoric significance of the symptom becomes apparent when the symptom is described from that point of view. Thus, rather than saying, "I can't see," the person would describe it as keeping themselves from seeing something. "I can't walk," means the person has been keeping themselves from walking away from a situation in which they are unhappy. And so on.

The symptom served to communicate to the person through their body what they had been doing to themselves in their consciousness. When the person changes something about their way of being, getting the message communicated by the symptom, the symptom has no further reason for being, and it can be released, according to whatever the person allows themselves to believe is possible.

We believe everything is possible.

We believe that anything can be healed. It's just a question of how to do it.

Understanding the chakras allows you to understand the relationship between your consciousness and your body, and to thus see your body as a map of your consciousness. It gives you a better understanding of yourself and those around you."

yeah this is just a more distinct way of classifying some vague things I've been tossing around various places.. so I'm setting this out for others to read and make their own conclusions from ..
 
Thank you, it was a very nice read indeed. It definitely connects with a lot of thoughts that I have had, past and present.
 
you're welcome, thats exactly the kind of results I had hoped would come from this :)

but its only the beginning! follow the learning from here.
 
as the energy doesn't flow through the two of mine, (guess which state my consciousness is in), I'm visiting an bioenergyist. she was initiated in Buddhism. I changed in several ways. there is something that is not that pleasant, but maybe it's not a consequence of it. all in all, she initiated the process of energy flowing through all seven, and I feel it.
in the year 29th the soul is changing the suit. behold. I've been warned. (and won't respect the warning...)

Tim leary and Wilhelm reich were sayng fairly similar things along these lines for years.

those who look deep enough all find the same inherent truths. but not everyone is willing to spend the time or are even aware of what to look for, so thats where they come in, spreading necessary tools for the aid of others. Of course everyone spits out a mix of truth and our own devised bullshit, so still these conclusions have to be thought up individually. The truth is always between the lines ...
