The importance of the Subtle Body Anatomy, Chakras for Your Health
Why working with the energies of the body can help with overall wellbeing
Working with energy, light, and frequency in the body is NOT a newer concept by any means. Nor is it something found only in India, or in the sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda. Today, Western, allopathic medicine is embracing many of the things used by other cultures for hundreds of years as modalities for improving one's health. Recently, the FDA approved the use of sound/frequency to break up tumors in the body. It’s actually quite fascinating to watch. I highly recommend Googling it and watching the available videos.
Have you ever noticed that when you physically feel off or sick, your energy levels feel the same, or how you can feel just “off” in certain situations but can’t explain it? Or how, after being in a particular situation, you feel sick physically because the energy surrounding the situation was just toxic?
As Tesla put it, the secrets of what makes up the Universe, humans included, are to think of light, energy, frequency, and vibration
The chakras are your subtle body anatomy. They are the pranic energy centers in your body. They correspond with both the nervous and the endocrine systems in the body. Examining the major nerve ganglion emerging from the spinal cord, the 7-chakra system aligns perfectly with it. Western science has come to recognize the importance of frequencies and energies in healing the body.
Chakras are part of an ancient metaphysical, subtle energy system that addresses the complexity of ourselves and the world around us in a simple yet systematized way. Chakras mean wheels, and they are spinning vortices of energy in the body that regulate the flow of prana or energy throughout the body. They are centers of organization for reception, assimilation, and expression of prana. The chakra system acts as a map for the journey through life, and it is the "backbone" of yoga science.
Why are the chakras and your subtle anatomy important? According to science, approximately 85% of the brain remains unused, and much of it is not fully understood. Using prana and the chakras opens the potential to the other aspects of the brain and its functions.
From a yogic standpoint, opening the chakras brings awareness of karmas, samskaras (lingering karmas), tendencies, traits, and patterns in one's life. Through awareness, one can help make changes in one's life. It is a way to infinite consciousness (referred to as Shiva) and creation (referred to as Shakti).
I have spent YEARS studying the chakras, not just the 7-chakra system, but other energy systems as well. I have spent years training others across the US and Canada about the chakras. Over the years, my knowledge of these systems has grown exponentially. I have even recently discovered the correlation between the chakras and the Ayurvedic Marma points on the body.
The 7-chakra system is the most widely accepted primarily because it aligns with both the nerve ganglion along the spinal column, as well as the endocrine system in the body, as these illustrations taken from some chakra books show
There is further correlation between the 3 main nadis or energy lines (these are similar to the Chinese Medicine Meridians), the Sushumna, the Ida, and the Pingala, and the Vagus Nerve, the main nerve(s) of the body. The vagus nerve is actually more than one, and it goes from the brain stem into the core of the body.
Knowing all of this, it becomes clear why balancing your chakras should be a part of your path to staying healthy. When balancing your chakras, we first identify which ones are not functioning at 100%. Then, using yoga, meditation, sound, aroma, and color therapy, gemstones, and more, we work together to cleanse the energy and open the chakras to a healthy level. This energetic work will, in turn, help your physical and mental well-being.
