The term "chakras" in the Hindu spiritual tradition is considered one of the central. In translation, "chakra" means "wheel", "rotation" (Sanskrit) and is a plexus of energy channels of the subtle body. It is believed that the penetration of perception, creativity, clarity, clarity of thinking, the strength of experiences, and the cheerfulness of a person depend on the work of these energy vortices. The hierarchy of his personal growth is directly related to the movement of consciousness from chakra to chakra.
The starting center, from where the awakening of the kundalini energy begins, is the Muladhara chakra (coccyx/womb area). It is followed from bottom to top by Svadhisthana (organs of the reproductive system), Manipura (navel), Anahata (chest center), Vishuddha (throat), Aja (pituitary gland, third eye), Sahasrara (crown).
Chakra Muladhara - "Lower Lotus"
This energy center is located right at the base of the spine and is red. Muladhara base chakraassociated with the element of Earth, the sense of smell and is responsible for survival. Thanks to the good work of this whirlwind, a person assimilates everything that feeds him. Usually in a poor or overly materialistic person, it is poorly developed. If balanced, then a person has endurance, courage, knows how to eliminate chaos, finds a way out even from difficult situations. Muladhara (chakra) is also responsible for the reproductive system, procreation. Meditation on it will give impetus to the rise of the kundalini, awakening the rest of the whirlwinds.
Svadhisthana chakra - "Basic Foundation"
Svadhisthana is located in the genital area and is one with the element of Water, the sense of taste. This is the second chakra. Kundalini, having reached this level, awakens passion. This chakra corresponds to the color orange. Like the Muladhara chakra, Svadhisthana is responsible for sexual energy, but, besides this, also for the ability to receive pleasure, for creative manifestations. The lack of balance, on the one hand, leads to a boring and dull life, on the other hand, to promiscuous sexual behavior. With a harmonized Svadhisthana, a person is able to experience the joy of life, is creative, creatively active.
Manipura Chakra - "Diamond Place"
At the navel is Manipura (chakra). This is the third energy center. He is responsible for vision, his element is Fire, the color is golden. The work of the vortex is connected with the ability to achieve the goal, with he alth, strength. If Manipura (chakra) is unbalanced, weak, there may be a feeling of depression, anger, resentment. Deteriorating abilityseeing the true essence of things, a person becomes ruthless, greedy.
The triad of energy centers: Muladhara, Svadhisthana and Manipura (chakra) form the lower triangle, which is the basis for the location of the upper chakras.
The Anahata Chakra - the abode of the true "I"
The fourth, heart chakra has found its location in the chest area. The awareness of feelings of love, patience, gratitude, compassion depends on how this center is awakened. It corresponds to the color green, and it is one with the element of air, the sense of touch. In an unbalanced state of Anahata, a person manifests envy, hatred, he tries only to take and not give anything away, and if he does interact, then on favorable terms for him. Here the individual is most often lonely, denies love. If he has a sexual partner, then the relationship is often suffocating. When the center is in balance, a person radiates love and generosity both to himself and to everyone around.
Chakra Vishuddha - "Lotus full of purity"
The fifth energy vortex in people is located in the throat area, and it corresponds to the blue and heavenly colors of the chakras. Vishuddha is responsible for the sense of hearing and is associated with the element of ether. If it is well developed, a person interacts with an opponent easily, truthfully. In the opposite case, there are problems with the statement, communication is rude, causing difficulties. A well-developed fifth chakra is a great boon for communication. Here a person clearly, weightily, easily explains the course of his thoughts, the listeners clearly understand what he is trying to convey. Listen to the speakerexcellently developed Vishuddha - great pleasure.
Ajna Chakra - "Palace of Knowledge"
The sixth center is located in the area between the eyebrows. Its vibrational frequency corresponds to the color blue. It is very effectively affected by meditation, as well as other energy whirlwinds. Chakras from this become stronger, lead to clarity of mind and a balanced state. Thanks to Ajna, intuition develops. When the center is poorly developed, anxiety, doubts, embarrassment are generated, a person often narrows his own choice, is present in the wrong place at the wrong time. The development of this area of the subtle body gives insight, intuitiveness, the ability to take the right steps based on the use of the experience of inner knowledge.
Sahasrara - "The seat of the Atman"
The seventh, crown chakra is located in the center of the crown, it corresponds to purplecolor. It is directly related to the pineal gland, the ability of a person to be humble, to feel universality. At this level, the individual begins to identify with the vastness, the universe. If this center is not developed enough, egocentrism may appear, the vision of reality is narrow, a person realizes himself at the level of the mind, and not the soul. A strong Sahasrara allows you to feel a close union with the true "I". Here you can comprehend the boundlessness of the riches of the spiritual world, you can hear the call of your own soul. In order to experience such an experience, many seek to open the chakras that precede the Sahasrara as quickly as possible.
What is the secret of strengthkundalini?
There are a large number of energy centers in the human body, but in the bulk of the teachings, the emphasis is on the seven above. All the colors of the chakras on the subtle plane correspond to the colors of the rainbow. Each energy vortex during its disclosure is subjectively experienced by the individual. It all depends on the personal depth of perception, the information data available in the channels of the subtle body.
The total energy of a person's past karmas, his life experience - this is the power of kundalini.
It is generally accepted that Muladhara is the conditional repository of kundalini, it is through it that the origin of power occurs. Rising up along the spinal column, the energy in each subsequent chakra transforms the nodes of the connections of the three channels (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna), fills them with "spiritual electricity", and new areas of perception become available to human consciousness.
How does kundalini affect the transformation of consciousness?
A person's sense of reality is attributed to the merit of kundalini, which constantly recreates itself through the chakras. How and with what an individual identifies himself is his strength.
There are a number of yogic practices that allow you to quickly awaken and raise the power to the highest, crown chakra. But they should be approached with extreme caution. It is dangerous to master such an experience on your own.
The effect obtained from special exercises, techniques quickly dissolves if no changes have occurred in the human mind. Kundalini can awaken spontaneously if one-pointedness is maintained inmeditations.
What happens to a person as the kundalini rises?
The base chakra Muladhara is associated with base desires. If the consciousness of an individual “hangs” on this center for a long time, then it is identical to the consciousness of highly developed representatives of the animal world, children or underdeveloped adults. When Muladhara is blocked, everything is subject to the fear of survival, but its awakening improves he alth and helps to reveal "siddhis" (superpowers). Here, when the energy rises in the region of the coccyx, small shocks can occur, energy seething can be felt. This experience may or may not be pleasant.
Pleasure, prosperity, and therefore, for the time being, infantile and rough knowledge of the world is absorbed through the Svadhisthana chakra. The vast majority of people live at this level. This can be seen by the fact that the topic of sex for them is always relevant and ubiquitous. In order to "start" this center, abstinence is recommended. At the moment of sexual intercourse, all energy descends precisely into the region of Swadhisthana and is burned there. The accumulated energy will help you rise to a higher level. Thanks to it, the clogged channels of the subtle body will begin to be cleared. This period may be accompanied by sexual arousal.
Active Manipura (chakra) gives the society powerful bosses, strong people. She is responsible for the will, submission. The presence of blocks in this center speaks of greed, various social experiences, fear, insecurity. When this center opens, a person begins to feel a special power, is able to influence events through the manifestation of personalwill, his words are filled with energy, powerful energy is felt in actions.
The three chakras listed above are the level of the average society. The life of spiritual people is built on four higher energy centers.
The Anahata chakra, which is responsible for love, has nothing to do with pity, jealousy, attachment, possessiveness and selfishness. When a person has worked out all these qualities in himself, then there is nothing from the traditional “love”. Anahat love is a deep, akin to maternal, feeling, where there is no exactingness. Only after such realization does a great spiritual unfoldment begin. Here love is unconditional, directed at all people, and not at a specific subject. At this level, a person experiencing a blissful and self-sufficient experience becomes aware of the meaning of the Christian saying: “God is Love.”
There are not so many people who have had such a spiritual experience. But the selfless, who have eliminated their own ego, can always be calculated by the sensations that come at the moment of being next to them: peace, harmony, lightness, bliss, quiet joy. I would like to stay in their space as long as possible, to be saturated with warm energy, while the very essence of the conversation is no longer important.
Kundalini who has reached Vishuddhi will never go lower. After crossing this flank, perception becomes multifaceted, expanded, an inner genius is born. This is the level of creators of their own reality.
When kundalini rises to Ajna, then a person begins to feel the subtle worldmore significant than the physical, manifest plane. Here the illusory nature of individual existence disappears, the whole reality is a single, energetically vibrating space. At this stage, there is no longer dependence and “clinging” to fixed ideas, deep wisdom appears, omniscience is not limited to narrow concepts.
Enlightenment comes when Kundalini has reached her cherished center "I Am" - Sahasrara. Behind all the difficulties with the passage of energies through the channels, in the present - the absolute awareness of oneself in the form of pure unconditioned Being.
