Base Chakra
The base chakra's energy is grounded in raw power. When the 1st chakra is "open" you feel abundant, in good health, and connected with your body. Qualities commonly connected with the first chakra are willpower, determination to succeed, leadership, and independence. Traditionally, it has been viewed as a strong masculine energy, linking to the Father principle. However, without the feminine principle working within you at this level, your personality can be bombastic, overbearing, and self-important. Many corporate leaders, past and present, have been "stuck" in this kind of energy.
An imbalance of base chakra energy can
create a tendency to see things in terms of "black or white" with an
overwhelming desire to acquire material possessions. The overriding feminine
quality at the base chakra is vanity. One appreciates superficial beauty
(ignoring inner beauty) while being centered on self and focused on acceptance
by others.
Spleen Chakra
This chakra is predominantly
feminine. When the 2nd chakra is aligned one feels connected to other people,
but balances it with time alone. The predominant qualities of the spleen chakra
are creativity and confident self-expression. The principle soul quality related
to this chakra is intention. Its masculine aspect is one that makes people fall
in love. Adaptability and flexibility are also associated with this chakra when
the masculine and feminine energies are in balance, implying the ability to take
on new challenges. This chakra is related to procreation, bringing forth new
life; the counterpoint at this level would be the fear of death. The spleen
chakra's negative aspects include killing creativity via fear, anger, jealousy,
as well as, the suppression of self-expression.
Solar Plexus Chakra
The primary spiritual expression at this
level is free will. Although love-centeredness comes from the heart chakra, the
spark comes from the solar plexus. This gives you the strength to sustain
through the "thick or thin" of crises. One feminine aspect of the third chakra
is the ability to hold the energy; many women do this in the context of the
family dynamic. Negative aspects include blind rage and destructive anger.
Emotions can be contradictory, raw and animal-like on one hand while serene and
poetic on the other. The 3rd chakra is feeling-based, offering usable personal
power and emotional control. Negative aspects of the solar plexus chakra can
sometimes be seen in women, many of whom remain immature, "shut down", and
relatively undeveloped. On the positive side, blind rage can be used to protect
one's country, as demonstrated by Winston Churchill. A mother can also
constructively channel the same emotion towards caring for her child, like the
mother lion who protects her cubs.
Heart Chakra
The 4th chakra is one of balance and
harmony, composed of the highly spiritual qualities of compassion and love. When
this chakra is open, and the masculine and feminine are balanced, one feels
safe, is able to trust, take risks, love, and feel loved. This chakra's primary
feminine quality is courage.
Throat Chakra
When the throat chakra is open, you are
able speak your truth with clarity, and express your true feelings with love.
The 5th chakra is the center of divine love. The masculine and feminine
spiritual energies are merged and balanced here, combining power with knowledge
and understanding. At the throat lies the center of wisdom and the power of
voice. When the masculine and feminine are balanced here, your speech reflects
the perfect balance that is possible. There is a fear of death associated with
this center, yet, the overriding polarities expressed are love versus fear, and
courage versus cowardice.
Third Eye Chakra
The sixth chakra opens your psychic and
intuitive abilities. One can also receive physical and spiritual understanding
at the third eye. Mental flexibility acts as a stabilizing force. The third eye
is known for its sense of power and acquisition, as a place of knowledge and
understanding.
Crown Chakra
The crown chakra is the Spirit center;
this definition goes beyond divine wisdom. The crown chakra allows you to
connect with the Godhead at the 14th dimension, allowing the Light of the Source
to come into your energy field. This chakra is also your connection to your
Higher Self, as well as to other dimensions. The crown chakra is a source of
imagination and inspiration.
Silver Chakra
Below the feet is the 8th chakra tying you
to Mother Earth. It is the feminine balancing energy to the masculine gold ray.
It's the transformational energy that you find in nature, a basic kinesthetic
knowledge, a doorway to parallel dimensions. The silver chakra amplifies the
alchemical nature of the gold ray. At this chakra lies the possibility for one
to shapeshift.
Gold Chakra
Above the crown is the 9th chakra. It is
the masculine balancing energy for the feminine silver ray. You need the gold
chakra to sustain power whenever you move into other dimensions. It amplifies
the alchemical nature of the silver ray. The gold ray's power is
self-intuitive.
White Chakra
This chakra is located in the palm of the
dominant hand; it is the 10th chakra, one that offers a layer of invisible
protection. One can liken this protective armor to a selective Teflon®
shield, one that will deflect evil or negative energy. The white ray is a "power
center" for healing. This ray allows you to transform and transmute; it can be
effectively utilized after the black ray has already broken through an energy
block. In addition, the white ray allows you to move into other dimensions
quickly and easily.
Clear Chakra
This is the 11th chakra; it is located in
the palm of the non-dominant hand. The essence of the clear chakra is truth and
clarity. You could liken it to a mirror where you can clearly see yourself with
all of your blemishes and shortcomings. With this chakra point's clear ray one
can merge and collapse all of the universes. At this chakra, there is a sense of
acuity and mental clarity that can be amped up by a factor of 10 x 10 x 10. This
ray's signature is wholeness, completion, and perfection.
Black Chakra
The black chakra is the 12th
chakra (or 13th if you count two aspects at the heart chakra). It is located
approximately 6" below the feet, surrounding the outer layer of the aura like an
envelope. It is the energy of the Tao, from which everything springs, like a
fountain of water. The feminine aspect of the black chakra is the movement in,
and the masculine aspect is the movement out. This ray is extremely powerful
when used for psychic surgery; it allows you to get to the core of a problem
quickly and easily. The black ray also embodies the universal androgynous
element, or "neutral space." Buddha is an excellent historical example of the
black ray energy.
