Chakras
Throughout our body we have main energy centers, which are connected to major organs or glands that govern other body parts. Each of these main energy centers are referred to as chakra. Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means wheel. A chakra is a wheel-like spinning vortex that whirls in a circular motion forming a vacuum in the center that draws in anything it encounters on its particular vibratory level.
It is said that our body contains hundred of chakras that are the key to the operation of our being. These “spinning wheels” draw in energy from our surroundings as well as also radiate an energy of vibration.
It is also believed that we have seven main chakra centers and that each main center is connected to our being on several different levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. On the physical level each chakra governs a main organ or gland, which is then connected to other body parts that resonate the same frequency.
The seven main chakra centers are aligned along the spinal column. If there are disturbances on any level, this shows in the chakra’s vitality level. Also each of the seven main chakras is their own intelligence center. This means that each chakra is not only associated with our physical health but also controls aspects connected to our emotional, mental and belief system.
In addition to the Chakras, the Hindu also believe in the energy of the "Kundalini Sakti," coiled and dormant "'feminine" energy, is the vast potential of psychic energy contained within us all. It is normally symbolized as a serpent coiled into three and a half circles, with its tail in its mouth, and spiralling around the central axis (sacrum or sacred bone) at the base of the spine.
The effect of waking the Kundalini is very powerful. Through a series of exercises involving posture, meditation and breathing, you can force this energy up through the body to the top of the head. This brings about a sensation of bliss, as the ordinary self is dissolved into its eternal essence, atman. Belly dancing and Tantric or Mantra yoga are excellent ways to awaking the Kundalini.
When we tap into our Kundalini We become aware of our creative capacities and our radiant caliber. We become aware of our finite relationship with infinity. Kundalini makes it possible for us as humans with finite identities to relate to our infinite dieties. We cannot live without a constant flow of Kundalini energy. The difference is the amount of the flow.
When there is an abundant flow of Kundalini our mind awakens from its long nap we stop living in imaginary realities we become committed to our purpose and our service we enjoy the abundant pleasures of life.(Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga)
The Kundalini is there to nourish, to heal and look after and to give an individual a higher and deeper personality. The power of Kundalini is absolute purity, auspiciousness, chastity, self respect, pure love, detachment, concern for others and enlightened attention, to give infinite joy and peace to an individual.

Awakening Your Chakras
Sit as comfortable as possible with your back straight. Close your eyes and take a few deep, cleansing breaths.
Starting at the base Chakra, see a red light spinning desoil. When you have that picture solid in your mind, see the light move up mixing with the orange light of the next Chakra. Keep both spinning. Continue to work your way up through the Chakras.
At the top imagine all the energy flowing up and exploding in rays of white light from the crown of your head.
When you are finished with your meditation, close the Chakra in the opposite order. Never leave your Chakras open.
Notes:
- Although a ball of light is the most common visualization of the Chakras, others see them as a flower bud blossoming or gemstones beginning to glow. Choose a visualization that works for you.
- If you are having trouble visualizing a specific Chakra, you might have a block or a physical ailment corresponding to that Chakra. If that is the case, it is advised that you do a Chakra cleansing.
Chakra Cleansing
While you are lying down and feeling the transforming energy moving through you, visualize a beautiful pure white light mixed with pink love light. Say:
Flow the pure white light and love energy into my crown chakra, cleansing and purifying. Dissolve any blockages, impurities or toxins. Restore balance, improve energy flow and circulation. Open my crown chakra to allow me to be more compassionate of myself and others.
Flow the pure white light and love into my third eye chakra, cleansing and purifying. Dissolve any blockages, impurities or toxins. Restore balance, improve energy flow and circulation. Open my third eye so that I may receive, process and understand information. Increase my intuitive abilities and open me up to telepathic communication.

Restore balance, improve energy flow and circulation. Now I look back down on the earth and see it glowing in a wondrous pale pink and white light, cleansed and purified.
Note: It is important to continue the flow of energy through us and down into the earth and upward into the atmosphere and space. This process makes us mindful of the impurities and toxins all around us, whether they be waste disposal areas, chemical or oil spills, radiation, etc. We are all one and we are all connected. What affects one affects all. We need to take care of ourselves and the earth.
