Advanced Chakra Healing - Complete Guide to Your Energy Body

“Chakra” is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to “Wheel” or “Vortex”.

The chakras, themselves, are wheels of energy running through the aura and into the physical body. Whilst we cannot see these, they are easy to detect with a pendulum and we’ll address that later in the course.

The aura is made up of seven layers or bodies, which can be easily seen as colors (with practice).

The first layer, our physical body, can of course be easily seen by all. The outer ones emanate from it as the etheric bodies – two emotional layers, two mental and two spiritual - the main seven.

It acts as a protective layer for the body and functions as a barometer for emotions.

Permeating through the aura, into the physical body, the chakras run the length of the spine, from bottom to top, then out through the head too.

Seemingly they transmit information from the spirit, through the mental and emotional bodies, into the physical corpus, then return communication from the organs back to the spirit via the layers of the aura.

The soul and spirit are different and reside separately.

“The soul, believed to be your timeless light, incarnated through many lifetimes, is thought to live in chakra 8.

In contrast, the spirit, that which is quintessential “you” is thought to reside within the aura.

There is a beautiful shamanic teaching that describes the relationship between the soul and the spirit.

Consider the soul to be like a carpenter who makes a chair, but then throws it in the fire to burn.

The carpenter feels no pain at the chair's demise because it's easy for him to make another.

The soul feels the same way as the spirit reaches the end of its lifetime.

Another incarnation will soon arrive.

In Tantra, especially, chakras are depicted like flowers with many petals. The more petals a chakra is deemed to have, the higher and lighter its vibration.

Within Tantric iconography, there hide many secrets about the chakras, which can tell us great truths about the spiritual journey. As the course unfolds, we'll analyze not only the modern-day wisdom about each one but also the noble truth hidden within the petals.

One such recent acquisition to our more modern understanding of the system is the discovery that each chakra seems to correspond to its own endocrine organ.

Opening and closing, like clockwise spinning vortices, the chakras seem to vitalize the physical body by “charging” the glands to produce and distribute hormones throughout the body.
