ALIGNMENT


Keeping the body in a state of balance, with  organs,  chemical balances, neurons, nutrient and waste systems in homeostasis  is necessary for vibrant health.   In the same manner, the Chakras, or energy body, must be in balance for emotional and psychic health by being well aligned. 

In Aryvedic medicine, the Chakras are rainbow points along the spine that form the "subtle body".  Energy  flows up and down  the base of  the spine to the top of the head through the Chakras.  Just as breathing is an exchange of life force with the planet, the Chakra system is an exchange of energy with the cosmos.  Each Chakra is  related to different ways that we perceive,  experience, and emphasize our lives.  The Base Chakra, for example, is identified with red, and is about physical vigor.  The Crown Chakra (white) is identified with cosmic consciousness.  In a balanced chakra system  neither  the upper chakras nor the lower chakras are over-emphasized.

When the  energy system is out of alignment it can create lives that  lack "depth perception".  It's been said that we have 7 brains instead of one, because each chakra regulated  how much energy we receive and give.  A closed Heart Chakra indicates an inability to receive love for example, and that energy imbalance will eventually bring about  disease.

Reversed:  There is a difficult misalignment, and you need to  create balance again.  You are, after all, a Rainbow.
