It is a proven fact that optimal conditions are achieved only at a specific point where there is equality in the factors of the surroundings and the same applies to the energy circles or the chakras that bring in the spiritual energy into our bodies. Another fact of life is that every human being lives with an outer body and an inner self, and both are very important for survival.
Only when these inner and outer selves of a person are able to co-ordinate and maintain a healthy interaction, the person can perform tasks effectively. Even the survival of the human requires adequate attention to both of these, while food and water provide the required energy to our body, the various chakras in our body are responsible for the healthy existence of the soul and for that the correct chakra balance is crucial.
Chakra balance is a follow up after the cleansing of the chakras is completed. Once the chakras are able to free themselves of the negativity and bring in the positivity their cleansing process is said to be over. The heavenly bodies are said to play a significant role in the exchange of energies in this way.
Chakra balance is obtained by ensuring that the energy exchange takes place for each chakra so that not only the individual chakra is balanced but an overall chakra balance can be seen for the human being, which would mean that all your body parts are in the best of conditions and you are in great health.
The impact of every chakra is on one of the crucial organs of the human body and for this reason it becomes essential to maintain individual chakra balance as an imbalance in even one chakra could mean that there is a possibility of malfunctioning of a particular critical organ and that can be fatal as well.
Water consumption and usage for various purposes plays a significant role in the determination of the chakra balance of the body and hence the fluid should be an important part of your day to day activities and diet.
Another important part of our lives are the various colors around us as each chakra relates to a particular color and hence if there is an imbalance of the chakra, bringing the associated color into your life can be said to be an effective way of treatment.
For years people have been highlighting the advantages of meditation, it not only gives you peace of mind but also provides a channel for your spiritual self to reinvent itself. As important is sleep for the freshness of the outer body, equally important is meditation for your inner self.
In fact also sleeping is a form of meditation and it not only relaxes the physical body but also recharges a good amount of the chakras and hence it is very important that a person gets adequate sleep.
One of the most common methods of maintaining chakra balance is by keeping all your body parts in proper shape with the help of correct exercises. Inclusion of exercise in one's routine means that the chakras are physically shuffled and also this helps to ensure chakra balance. Though the exercises done are not for a long period of time, they need to be done daily.
The food you eat also matters as many a times people turn out be obese or under nutrition and that leads to imbalance of the chakras and hence several body problems. Do not avoid meals but have smaller meals as skipping meals can also be dangerous.
One can be sure of the fact that the chakra balance impacts the various aspects of your body and personality and its maintenance is very crucial for effective survival.
In this article I want to give a brief overview of the chakra system, but more importantly I want to explain what the psychic channels (nadis) are, how we can use that knowledge to help us make progress on our journey towards enlightenment.
Chakras are essentially multidimensional energy vortexes that help transmute and conduct energy between the different bodies that make up a human being. These three bodies are the physical, emotional and mental sheaths and the chakas move energy between them. There are seven important chakras in all and they lie in the emotional body, also sometimes called the energetic body. The first chakra resides at the base of the spine, while the seventh lies at the crown of the head. The other five reside in between.
In this energetic body also lies a vast network of fine channels which are called nadis. These nadis, or psychic channels, carry prana or life-force throughout the system, and prana nourishes and sustains the person. Blockages in the nadis disrupts this flow of prana, prevents the chakras from working at optimum capacity, which in turn creates imbalances and problems for the body and personality.
Of all the nadis (a reputed 72,000) of the network of psychic channels, there are three that are most important. These three are the ida, pingala and shushumna. The shushumna is the central channel that run through the center of the spine, with the ida starting from the left of it and the pingala starting from the right of it. The ida and pingala then intertwine the shushumna crossing over at each chakra point up to when they reach the Third Eye Chakra in the center of the brain. Here all three nadis end.
The ida nadi is the ying energy of the body. It is responsible for cooling, passive, meditative, feminine energy, while the pingala nadi is the yang energy of the body. It is responsible for the hot, active, masculine energy of the body. Normally, one of these channels is more active than the other at any given time of the day and prana is flowing through this more active channel at that time.
The key to opening, healing and balancing the chakras lies in having prana flow through shushumna. This happens when ida and pingala are brought into immaculate balance. Kundalini yoga can be thought of nothing more than a science to activate flow of prana though shushumna. All the famous kundalini yoga sets (kriyas), pranayamas (breathing exercises), mantras and meditations are designed to clear blockages in the nadi system, balance ida and pingala and cause shushumna to flow.
As prana flows through shushumna, it activates each of the chakras, which in turn bestows health to the physical region where that chakra lies. In addition, having the chakras open also bestows emotional and mental balance for the emotions that that particular chakra is responsible for. Once the system is brought to an optimal level, energy (kundalini shakti) can flow freely up and down the central channel and finally up into the crown chakra. This then brings about a transformation of consciousness and the yogi penetrates the veil of separate existence and experiences enlightenment.
