WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF 12 CHAKRAS?- 09 FACTS;- 1- We are familiar with the 7 major chakras of the human body. But some chakra systems count 12 or more chakras. In order to enhance our understanding of the energy body, it is essential to know our 12 chakras. Familiarity with the 12 chakra system adds depth, context, and appreciation for our understanding of how chakras work and how to best balance energies in our life. 2-The Seven Major Chakras are Located in the Etheric Body: but the Major Chakras are Located Outside the Etheric Body.One more thing... Restoring the power of our chakras is about how we can take back control of our health and wellness by learning to work with energy.This is life-changing material. 3-While most of us mere mortals are trying to develop a true and clear path through our energetic bodies and chakra system to the awakening of the crown chakra, or Sahasrara, there are other chakras that exist as a means of advanced spiritual awakening. 4-Different cultural systems have a different conceptualization of the basic chakras. The Hindus Buddhists,and Tantrics, believe in the basic seven-chakra system starting in the root of the spine and traveling up its corridor, or the Sushumna, with Ida and Pingala acting as secondary methods of directing source energy to the crown, or the seventh chakra, called Sahasrara. 5-In the Far East, we have the conceptualization of a chakra system, which includes the dharmachakra or ‘wheel of law’ or ‘wheel of life’ that represents, symbolically, the layers of awareness we must sift through in order to reach the higher realms of transcendent, omniscience. 6-It is in Tibetan, Pali, and Jain concepts of an eight-fold path, or an infinity-bound circle with eight spokes, which lead to realization of an enlightened self via right beliefs, aspirations, speech, conduct, livelihood, right effort, mindfulness and finally rightful meditational attainment. 7-Ultimately, Kundalini Shakti, or dormant pranic energy with a natural evolutionary thrust upward will move through the chakras to its connections to ‘silent centers in the brain,’ in order to allow these dormant areas in the brain to blossom like flowers. 8-As each chakra is awakened, the individual will experience life through the lense which the chakra governs, for example, an opening of the Swadhistana chakra will awaken you to an experience of more joy, Manipura will increase your ability to assert yourself, and when vishuddi chakra awakenings ensue (occur afterwards or as a result)you can look forward to better discrimination and greater wisdom. 9-Anahata chakra openings lead to a greater experience of love and once our crown chakras are awakened we understand our connection with Divinity, or no longer feel a sense of separation with the rest of the world. WHAT IS 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM?- 02 FACTS;- 1-The first one locates 5 additional chakras outside of the human body in addition to the 7 primary chakras located from the base of the spine up to the crown. This is the most common way to represent the 12-chakra system, including one chakra below the root chakra and the remaining ones above the crown. 2-Another one includes all 12 chakras inside the human body, positioning 5 additional energy centers in-between the commonly known 7 chakras. Despite the numerous variations of 12 chakras configurations(arrangement), it’s important to note that the most commonly referenced energy centers are two additional chakras above the crown and the Earth chakra (or chakra located below the root chakra and the surface of the earth). MEANING OF 12 CHAKRAS; OUR CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSE;- Simply, the 12-chakra system brings forth the vision of our connection to the entire universe.We can divide this system in two parts;- 1-ANCIENT 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM CHART 2-MODERN 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM CHART 1-DESCRIPTION OF ANCIENT 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM CHART;- According to Tantra ,these chakras are;- 1 -Muladhara chakra 2-Swathisthana chakra 3-Manipura chakra 4-Anahata chakra 5-Vishuddha chakra 6-Lalana chakra 7-Ajna chakra 8-Manas chakra 9-Bindu/Indu chakra 10-Mahanada/-Nirvana chakra/Bhanwar Gupha 11-Guru chakra 12-Sahasrara chakra 08 FACTS;- 1-Beyond the basic chakras, are the energy centers of higher awareness. These include a possible infinite number of chakras, but for now, we can concentrate on the 8th through 12th chakras, which exist in the etheric body, instead of being positioned in the physical body. 2-It is understood that in the 8th chakra, your karmic residue is contained, as well as spiritual compassion and the ability to be completely selfless – this is the level of the bodhisattva in Buddhist terms – one who delays their own experience of Nirvana in order to help other beings reach enlightenment. 3-In the 9th chakra, you have a complete awareness of all the skills and knowledge you have ever had in every lifetime on this planet, or others. Imagine being a virtuoso(a person highly skilled in music or another artistic pursuit) in multiple arenas, an artist, a mechanic, an expert swimmer and farmer, etc., etc. You begin to tap into your collective wisdom here. 4-In the 10th chakra(Bindu), it is said that the feminine and masculine merge completely. There is no sex, no gender, just divine union between Shiva and Shakti, so that there is no longer a separation. In Hatha yoga, this would be the union of Sun and Moon principles, or the balancing of energy in Ida and Pingala nadis. When this chakra is awakened, it is said that the skills you become aware of in the 9th chakra, can come into full fruition. 5-In the 11th chakra(Guru), you begin to transcend the laws of this world. That includes, space-time, gravity, etc. Gurus of this level of awareness are known to be able to bi-locate (miraculous ability wherein an individual or object is located (or appears to be located) in two distinct places at the same time), and commit telekinesis(the supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other non-physical means) with ease. Many of the siddhis, or advanced yogic powers are contained in this level of awareness. 6-Once the 12th (Sasarara) chakra is awakened, you have returned home. This is often referred to as the Monadic (A single-celled microorganism) level of awareness. You are completely joined with Cosmos, there you are unborn, but forever being. You are indivisible, all-knowing awareness. 7-The premise of the 12 chakra system is that all living beings are part of a whole. Each of us is grounded to the earth and linked to the universe via a thin cable. That cable stretches from roughly three feet below your feet to miles and miles up through the atmosphere and on deep into outer space.12-chakra system is a way to use a wider range of energies for healing. 8-Using 12 chakras allows us to draw from powerful energies outside of the human body and get in touch with the whole array( range of a particular type of thing )of dimensions of our human experience. In many ancient traditions, earth and sky energies are believed to mix within the human body. The twelve-chakra system is a vivid representation of this belief. 2- DESCRIPTION OF MODERN 12 CHAKRA SYSTEM CHART;- 05 FACTS;- 1- As much as one may appreciate simplicity in learning about the chakras, there is no unique or unified understanding of the 12-chakra system to this day. The knowledge about the 12 chakras has come from modern perspectives also expressed by contemporary healers and energy workers. 2-Put simply, there are 2 main types of configurations(an arrangement of elements in a particular form) presented in modern healing schools of thoughts: The 12 chakras are located either both inside and outside of the body or all inside Organization of the 12 Chakra System. 3-We are already familiar with the basic seven energy centers, let’s focus on the remaining five introduced in the 12 chakra system. Similar to the format of standard spiritual chakra charts, each one of the five additional chakra possesses their own location, color, and function. 4-The traditional chakra colors follow the spectrum of the rainbow, while the extended system may add colors associated with metals or other elements. Among them are gold, platinum, and a combination of colors that are sometimes referred to as “opalescence”(Resembling an opal) or “iridescence”(a lustrous rainbowlike play of color caused by differential refraction of light waves) for the highest frequencies. 5- We can find descriptions of the twelve chakra system locating the 8th chakra underground and the remaining higher energy centers above the crown.The following chakra chart contains 12 energy centers and locates the “underground” earth chakra in 8th position,Viz;-. 1-Root Chakra — Base of the spine — Red 2-Sacral Chakra — Just below the navel — Orange 3-Solar Plexus Chakra — Stomach area — Yellow 4-Heart Chakra — Center of the chest — Green 5-Throat Chakra — Base of the throat — Blue 6-Third Eye Chakra — Forehead, just above area between the eyes — Indigo 7-Crown Chakra — Middle of the head — Violet (As Manas Chakra ) 8-Earth Chakra ;-(As Lalana chakra) Located roughly three feet below into the earth at your feet. — Brown — No matter where you are, the earth chakra keeps you grounded.

It ensures our connection with the earth. Because it works primarily with the energies of the earth, it is very physical in nature. It participates to our physical well-being and connects us to the grounding energies of the earth and our environment. Just like the first (or root) chakra, it is useful to heal any bone and bone marrow-related issues. It can also play a role in any DNA-reltated or hereditary issues. 3-This centre does not need to be located in space/time. You can imagine the sun itself is the chakra. This chakra connects us to the monad (a single unit)or oversoul. Connecting with this centre is a major step in our awakening. To connect with the 10th chakra we have extended our inner channel into the core of the sun and stabilised there. 4-This allows us to download light and information through the solar stargate.

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE HIGHER CHAKRAS?- The first spiritual chakra is located approximately two feet above your head. If you’ve ever seen paintings depicting holy figures with circles of golden light around their heads, you’ve seen a visual representation of the love and light that flows from activated higher energy centers. But this glow is not only available to holy men. Here are the five most important things to know about what activating your 8th chakra can do to help you live a truer, happier life.... 05 FACTS;- 1. CONNECT TO YOUR HIGHER SELF;- A-Your 8th chakra is the doorway between your immortal soul and your earth-bound personality.If you’ve done the requisite self-work—through meditation or energy healing or other methods—you should be able to talk to your higher self and ask her the questions you most want answered. B-Your higher self can give you access to the Akashic records, help you find your true life purpose, and remind you that you are a perfect being made of love and light. Opening your 8th chakra and stepping through the veil that separates your earthly self from your eternal soul will open your eyes to the vast space beyond physical plane boundaries. 2. CLEAR YOUR KARMIC RESIDUE;- A-Karmic residue( rest) sounds pretty gross, and it lives up to its name. It’s the leftover karmic energy that builds-up after lifetimes of clinging to the same patterns. These tired and worn-out routines keep you rooted to this planet. B-Since your 8th chakra is the gate that leads to the divine, it is the last chakra that holds the human information that is not needed or desired in the expanded universe of an opened 8th chakra. C-Residual energy sticks around, waiting for you to clear it out once and for all before you move on to connect with your higher self and beyond. Activating your 8th chakra can help you shed those patterns that keep you reincarnating and are not useful any more, release that icky(unpleasantly sticky) karmic residue, and connect with the greater spiritual universe that starts with your higher self. 3. UNCOVER SPIRITUAL GIFTS;- A-As your connection to the greater spiritual community grows with an activated 8th chakra, your awareness expands, and you may find that you develop new abilities. Perhaps you’ve always been intuitive, but with an open 8th chakra, you’ll discover your powers of intuition increasing. B-Other latent (inactive)talents may reveal themselves as you continue to widen your 8th chakra, including astral travel, telepathy, clairvoyance (sixth sense), and even energy healing. At first, these new capabilities may seem overwhelming, but Your higher self would never bestow these gifts upon you unless you were ready. 4. LEARN YOUR SOUL'S PURPOSE;- A-The 8th chakra is like the record room for your soul’s contract, which is another way of saying your life purpose. Your soul enters this world with a goal, which has to do with learning lessons in order to evolve. Your soul’s purpose is always clear to your higher self, but may not be as obvious to your personality once it incarnates onto the physical plane. It takes the activation of the 8th chakra to get in touch with your higher self enough to be let into that record room for a glimpse at your soul contract. B-After your 8th chakra is activated and open, don’t be surprised if you begin to feel like you need to shift your focus, especially if you have spent years ignoring your true passion. That nagging (Persistently painful) voice that tells you to follow your true path is really your higher self offering guidance, encouraging you to get to work on whatever your soul is meant to do while in this body at this time. 5. EXPERIENCE DIVINE LOVE & SPIRITUAL COMPASSION;- A-When you start to understand that you are truly a soul living temporarily in a physical body rather than a body with a soul, your capacity for deep compassion and divine love begins to blossom. As the 8th chakra expands and this knowledge is fully absorbed, you become more spiritually compassionate because you now know that everyone else is on the same journey. B-Each soul plays its own important role in the interconnected community we’re all a part of, and by activating our 8th chakra and peeking at that huge spiritual tapestry, we experience true unity, which is followed by unconditional love from the Divine. Once you feel the power of divine love, you will reflect that love in your actions and it will spread like ripples in a pond. Imagine what the world could be like if everyone had golden halos from their open 8th chakras beaming love and compassion. It starts with us. HOW ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH THIS CHAKRA SYSTEM?-
06 FACTS;- 1-Infinite Divine light from the cosmos and heavens above shines down upon our energy body system. It flows in through our higher chakras, down and in through our crown chakra at the top of our head… It then flows down along our spinal column, through our 7 chakra system, down through our Earth Star Chakra, and all the way down in a grounding column or pillar of crystalline light to the light at the core of the Earth. 2-We are one with this light at the core of the Earth, that is one with the Divine, Infinite Divine light and frequency then flows up from the core of the Earth, up through our Earth Star Chakra and up into our Root Chakra. From there, it flows up along our spine in a column of Divine White Light through all 7 chakras within our physical body. 3-It then continues up and out our crown chakra at the top of our head, through our higher chakra energy centers 8-12, connecting us directly with the Divine. We are one with the Divine, and with All That Is. 4-Light from the Divine then pours down around our entire being, and flows in through our higher energy centers, our Soul Star Chakra, and in through our Crown Chakra at the top of our head before pouring down through the 7 chakras contained within our physical body. 5-The light then continues pouring down, returning to the light at the Core of the Earth… Before once again flowing up through our Earth Star Chakra, in through our Root Chakra and up along our spinal column. 6-Cosmic Divine light and Earth Light, flows up and out of our Crown Chakra at the top of our head into the light, up into the light, above the lights and into direct presence with the Divine and All That Is before pouring down upon us, in an unending, Divine, energetic cycle. NOTE;- This is our energy body, balanced, awakened and Divine… in the 12 Chakras System.While many of us are still learning to ‘awaken the silent centers of the brain’ through just the lower seven chakras, there is still much more room to grow. Our spiritual evolution takes on a constant process of returning to the indivisible, such that we increasingly become aware that we were never ‘split’ or ‘less-than’ at all. Allness contains Everything. This is our true state.......SHIVOHAM.....
