Yoga: A Journey Through The Chakras
By: Lin Weiss
When we hear the word “Chakra” it often gets dismissed as lofty or “woo-woo” in a sort of New Age-y, roll of the eyes, manner. In reality, the Chakra System is a proven, empowering and logical frame of reference for understanding the truth of our being, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It provides a thorough and accurate classification for decoding illness, emotional affliction and human suffering on the deepest of levels. With methodical knowledge reaped from a clear understanding of the energy or light centers in the human body, we can achieve profound healing for ourselves, learn what it means to be healthy and make the necessary adjustments to create a full and happy life.
There are differing systems that have their roots in Classical Hatha Yoga; esoteric Hindu wisdom; Traditional Chinese Medicine (as a basis for Acupuncture therapy) and Buddhist perspectives. There are new chakra theories being introduced with an emphasis on unique characteristics specific to the Western matrix and variances within myriad religious and spiritual practices. These differences often perplex and confuse however it is my experience that they all share common foundations, goals, and consequent validity. The more one studies and understands the basic philosophies of the ancient systems, the more clarity emerges and the ease of integration with newer models.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word for “wheel” or “cycle.” There are seven primary chakras in the human body. Each one bears its own significance to specific body systems, emotional components, the endocrine system and spiritual understanding or unfoldment. What has become widely understood and valued for its healing insight, is the condition of the chakras’ direct link to physical health vs. disease based on one’s psycho-spiritual beliefs and perceptions. In classical Hatha Yoga each asana (posture) is designed to tweak and tune-up specific chakras and glands – balancing the delicate hormonal stasis and creating harmony and wellness through the glandular system. This is why Yoga makes us feel so good, recharged and vital. It is a timeless practice with therapeutic benefits for everyone of all ages.
The education of and investigation by every individual into what have heretofore been mysterious, archaic structures, will have an immense effect on generations to come as we magnetize health and wellbeing - making it our personal responsibility and birthright. Relinquishing reliance on pharmaceutical drugs and medical therapies that actually inhibit health and wellbeing will be a genetic godsend to the restored vitality of any disease-ridden culture.
Destruction of natural immunity through the fear-inducing indoctrination of organizations that sell drugs and vaccines is criminal. Dr. Mercola, a grass-roots educator and New York Times Best Selling author documents, “Death by medicine is a 21st-century epidemic, and America's "war on drugs" is clearly directed at the wrong enemy!
Prescription drugs are now killing far more people than illegal drugs, and while most major causes of preventable deaths are declining, those from prescription drug use are increasing, an analysis of recently released data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by the Los Angeles Times revealed. The Times analysis of 2009 death statistics, the most recent available, showed:
- For the first time ever in the US, more people were killed by pharmaceutical drugs than motor vehicle accidents.
- 37,485 people died from drugs, a rate fueled by overdoses of prescription pain and anxiety medications, versus 36,284 from traffic accidents.
- Drug fatalities more than doubled among teens and young adults between 2000 and 2008, and more than tripled among people aged 50 to 69.
Anyone involved in the process of making, marketing, prescribing and subscribing to the administration of pharmaceuticals has blood on their hands. Including, but not limited to, the insurance industry, the FDA and the federal government. This is more of a call to action than a criticism. I come from a long family line of medical professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and insurance providers. We are all steeped in a system that is clearly evolving in detrimental and out of control ways. This is my opinion and conclusion based on many years of experience, observation and study in the western medical model as well as profound, even “miraculous” healing through the practice and wisdom of the chakra system, energy medicine and vibrational attunement.
No one will dispute that we are in a time of medical crisis in this country. There is increasing illness among younger and younger people, despite rigorous vaccination regimens. Perhaps they are a culprit? The good news is, that we have freedom and choice. We are in a time that we must advocate for that freedom of choice. You do not have to receive inoculations. YOU DO have many options for profound and natural healing abundantly available in this country as well as others.
Educating ourselves is a direct path to self-healing. The chakra system is a comprehensive example. Don’t believe everything you hear or read. Do your own research, learn how your body systems work and are intimately connected. Heal through nutrition. Find out what your body needs and wants. A consistent yoga practice keeps the chakra system open and balanced. Drink naturally sourced water high in earth energy and minerals, fluoride-free. Let go of beliefs and indoctrination steeped in lack in the physical body. Let go of the sources that broadcast such a notion, i.e. every electronic device, walk-a-thons and charities and behemoth institutions dedicated to disease under the guise of “healthcare”. There is a divine matrix dwelling deep within each of us. Tapping that well brings us into homeostasis, mind, body and soul. Take back your dominion. If we are created by Divine Intelligence, then we must be Divine Intelligence. Pranam…
