Energy and Balance

It has been clear from the days when all healing was done by tribal shamans, that energy balancing is a significant key to physical, mental and emotional well-being. Many physical diseases have, at their source, the imbalance of energy.

For example, the psychosomatic illnesses like ulcers. The ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach and it is physically there yet we know that is resulted from the tension of energy imbalance which caused the body to create too much acid, thus injuring itself. Many illnesses have been found to absolutely follow these patterns.

In life, it is common to feel physical discomfort when stress increases. This is a result of inappropriate response to outside sources. Every human living in this complex world has felt this.

There is also the effect of changing the energy programming of the body toward balance to alleviate these health difficulties. One of the oldest and most effective tools in this effort is the Chakra system. This knowledge comes from various cultures and has been an effective energy tool for thousands of years.

You Exist in a State of Grace

It is natural to be balanced. Spirit made you to walk this place in health and grace. The challenges of the world and the misinformation that you cannot control your own health can tend to pull your body out of this natural balance. It feels terrible. It is not your natural state.

The energy of the Spirit is the energy of Unconditional Love. Let’s examine unconditional love for a moment.

Children are a good place to start to see it clearly. When life presents you with a baby, everything in you feels a desire to love and protect that little bit of soft, new flesh.

You don’t require that it behave in certain ways. You don’t withhold your love when it cries. On the contrary, you try to soothe it, find the source of the difficulty, to bring it back in to a happy healthful balance.

You’ll rearrange your home to make it a safe place for the child. You don’t ask for certain behaviors before you give this love. You just love, unconditionally.

Even when that child grows up and really does something wrong, it doesn’t cause you to stop loving the child. It may very well anger you or challenge you and you can address these feelings, but you still love the individual.

Some of you love animals in the same way. Yet you find it difficult to love each other without a lot of behavioral conditions and artificial values. Spirit is made of unconditional love. So are you. It is necessary to find this source in order to be in the flow of creative energy.

Yet, it is just as difficult to love ourselves unconditionally. People tell us that we need to be this or that or to have this or that in order to be worthy of love. Before long, we even withhold love from ourselves, feeling that we don’t measure up.

This is not helping us to function productively. Without the love source, we can’t begin to achieve the balance which allows us to contribute to the world, or even to receive its gifts.

In order to achieve balance, You must desire balance

If you feel that being in balance will keep you from receiving the benefit of suffering, this treatment won’t be effective. You can keep it from working for you with your own will. The benefit of suffering are many.

You may have been taught that nothing is available to you unless you suffer for it. 

You may feel that your suffering brings you attention and love that are otherwise unavailable to you.

You may feel that without the excuse of suffering, you will not have anything to hide behind if you are not perfect.

You may find that suffering allows you to rest from the stress of constant activity.

If this is true, you probably measure yourself by artificial values and a need for external validation. This is normal, it is what we have often been taught. But it is not helpful for our growth.

Try Spirit’s values: 

You exist in a State of Grace

You have free will

Love flows unconditionally

They are easier than some of the rules that have you at an impasse.

Give yourself a break. Allow yourself to learn a natural state of balanced energy. That state puts you in vibration with the creative laws of the universe. Unconditional love is natural in this state.

Each chakra center represents an attunement in the physical, emotional and spiritual body.

Each chakra aligns with a color vibration. By understanding the energy of each center and desiring its balance, you can, with your own awareness, connect these energies with the divine source.

As this is done, you will notice a change in attitude, perception, physical and emotional clarity. You may notice the motion of the chakras as they begin to align properly there should be a spinning sensation, a bubbly feeling at each point. This is normal and healthful. It is an indication that you are beginning to vibrate to the energy of their proper energy.

In balance, the chakra areas are active energy. They spin their energy throughout your body. This is a good thing.

It is natural to return you to your balance and awareness of grace.

Your knowledge of what to expect in these powerful energy areas, enhances your participation in the healing process. It also adds to your awareness of what has been accomplished.

Remember that this is a system of balance and that one area out of balance influences others. Also the adjacent area may be the real cause of the imbalance. For instance, If the heart chakra is out of balance and you don’t feel yourself giving and receiving unconditional love, this may manifest in a throat chakra symptom. For example a feeling of swallowing your words, not speaking your feelings or on a physical plane a soreness or tightness in the throat.

These energies do not exist alone, so if your throat hurts, in order to reach balance there, it may be necessary to balance your heart chakra also. For this reason, it is generally best to work on balancing all of your chakras in each session.

Study the effects and energies of the chakras presented in the next pages. You will find that there is a natural harmony here.

The chakra system looks at the body as an energy body with specific energies stored in specific locations. These energies relate to a variety of physical and emotional sources. These areas, when kept in balance, will create a healthy and actuated individual. When out of balance, these tools create a specific area for rebalance which will align the energies toward health.

The physical chakra energy centers run from the top of the head through the base of the trunk in the human body. There are seven centers and each control certain energy patterns, vibrations, physical functions and emotions. Colors associated with chakras are the vibrational levels that indicate a chakra energy in healthy alignment.

When the chakra energy is balanced, the body feels vital and energized. It will not be receptive to disease or dysfunction in either physical or emotional areas. These energy centers, when balanced are in constant motion. There is a spinning feeling and a bubbly energy here that is physically pleasant and comfortable. This energy allows a natural connection of energy flow from one chakra to another. The awareness of a balanced system are positive and the responses are beneficial.

The seven chakras exist as independent units while they function together as a system. If one of these centers is out of balance, it throws the system into a general distortion of energy.

You can influence and create with your thoughts. Thoughts have powerful energy. To remain in balance and in a state of heightened function and awareness, it is necessary to keep your thoughts in positive, creative harmony. This will increase your well-being and draw positive, creative energy from the Universe.

When working with the chakra centers allow your thoughts to support your desire for balance and health.

The following pages contain explanations of each Chakra's energy. This is necessarily only an overview. There are many books about these energies, and each one could probably fill a book with the various connotations. But these pages are written specifically for you to begin to work with your chakras through meditation.
