I’ve recently began to do research into the concept of chakras.  Simply defined, a chakra is: 

“Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the subtle body of living beings. The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation. Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies. Different systems posit a varying number of chakras; the most well known system in the West is that of seven chakras.”

I am far from an expert in chakras but I am ever so slowly memorizing the colors and the general meaning of them.  I’m going to refrain from going through them since they’re at right, but they start at the bottom at chakra #1 (the bottom of your bum) to #7 (just above your head).  An enlightened person, or so the theory goes, has clear, shining, strong chakras which are interconnected with flowing bands of energy.  The rest of us, well, we have strengths and weaknesses which ebb and flow and have similar patterns to our wake/sleep, eat/fast, dream/deep sleep, and other cycles. 

Chakras, in theory, not only are energetic but have a one-to-one relationship with our body and emotions.  For instance issues with the heart chakra might demonstrate distrust of others and fear of being truly intimate with people who are reaching out for a real connection with us.

I must admit I’m envious of people who can see chakras when looking at others.  My empathic ability does not (currently) include the ability to see them, however am aware of them in other ways.  Indeed, my sixth sense as well as a recent experience with an energy worker has enlightened me as to some important aspects of my abilities and their relation to my chakras.

I’ve always known I’m a bit backwards.  My crown chakra is bright as a 10000 watt light bulb, my third eye is a little less, my throat a little less, and so on.  I simply do not see/experience the world the way other people do.  When there are problems, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships, I see the fundamental solution which is a spiritual one.  It is the solution which will always bring the most benefit, healing, love, and joy, to everyone involved.  Unfortunately most people (in my experience) have buzzing, flickering florescent lights installed at this level so what I say seems to them non-sense.  Love?  Compassion?  Joy?  Forgiveness?  You must be crazy!

No, I just see that true joy, connection, and love is possible and that it is, quite frankly, easy to achieve when we make the right choices.

Why are my chakras all backwards?  I don’t know.  I recall being born, I recall being in the womb, and I recall floating around in the “beforelife” chatting with a number of “people” in my “soul group” about the life I was going to leave (and sometimes I wish I could go back and choose a different one damnit!).  I recall at least one past life clearly and have shadows of memories of others going back to at least the time of the ancient Egyptians.  I’ve been around for a very, very long time and I have learned so much about spirituality and ethics that the day in and day out logic of the regular every day human being seems almost alien to me, as if I wake up daily as a tourist on this strange, alien planet.

And yet I am in this body.  I am a human being.  And I have all the benefits and consequences that come with that existence.

I recently had someone send energy towards me and I interacted with it at my skill level.  The energy, I later learned, was of the emotion hunger—but I didn’t consciously pick that up (though I spent the time before and after thinking largely about whether or not I should order pizza or sushi when I got home).  Instead what I picked up was the love and care the other person had for me and how they had a sincere desire to help, teach, and boost me up.  My empathic sense was clear as could be on this so it was with some surprise when I learned what the emotion being sent was and I realized something:  I am extremely highly substantially incredibly amazingly in tune with people’s crown chakra as they go down I become less and less able to consciously read them.  As a consequence I can accurately see what someone needs to be spiritually happy, walk a life path that will bring them everything they could ever want (and more), learn to speak out, to love and be loved, and so on, I’m not as so much aware of things like, say, someone’s simple need to eat.

The filters I impose on myself are the same filters imposed on the rest of the world.  The first consequence of that is obvious so I won’t get into that.  The second is this:  If I align and strengthen my other chakras I will become as open with them in others.  Long and short of it, you get hungry, I get hungry, you get sick, I feel sick, you feel discombobulated, I feel discombobulated with you.  Fortunately my focus at present is my root chakra and with it comes the stability needed for that but I sometimes think it’s already too much being aware of all the rest, seeing into other people’s hearts and souls, do I really want to add their baser emotional and physical states as well.

This explains why I’ve never been what’s called a medical intuitive—and goddess please I never want to be one!!!

I’m working both alone and with another on strengthening them.  Things I need to do:

• Not live my life as if it is hopeless (though I sometimes feel that way this year)
• Head upstairs and wind down for bed between 9 and 9:30 every night
• Get in bed by 11 to 11:30 every night
• Eat less
• Exercise more
• Plan more excursions out of the house (motorcycling, photography, walking, breathing)
• Regular meditation
• Reading

Consistency is key.  Problem is I’m such a cat at heart and cats, I think, live very much in the spiritual world—though at the same time very much in the physical one.  Perhaps I will spend more time observing how they can do both in a healthy, well balanced way.

Until then I hold in my tears as I walk up this lonely path towards the summit.  There is a picture there I plan to take.  I hope it is of an orange-red sunrise.  I hope you will be there to greet me.

Yours,
