Chakras - Focus points within your body

Where is the Third Chakra? Solar Plexus or Navel?

I was introduced to the concept of Chakras around twenty years ago and those first lines and pictures in an old occult book, that my friend showed me in his furious Saturn Return knowledge integration and light bulb frenzy, turned out to be closer to the truth than most of the Chakra stuff that I have seen since.
                                                                                                  
I had the opportunity to visit India recently and I took the time to have private lessons with a Hatha Yoga teacher (Dr Prafullata).  

Yoga is Chakra work.  It is the method of purifying the energy systems and allowing the energy circuits to flow freely in their divine power and have union of the powers within and connection to the  Universe.  That great all pervading essence that just is life itself.

Yoga is Sanskrit for Union and Kundalini is the energy that you are born with and it sits in a coil at the base of the spine and provides nourishment and security throughout your life.

There are a lot of warnings about raising Kundalini and rightly so.  It is not a simple conjuring trick that unwinds a powerful sepent of energetic current from the base of your spine and then you are some kind of Cool Groovy Elite Awakened soul... It is a gently growing awareness and a move towards conscious action, thought, feeling and being that allows peace and calm balanced, thoughtful actions in the world and within.

The Chakra positions as explained to me by my Guru are that each is at the back of the body near the spine and with palm outstretched and fingers extended one can find each of ones own chakras by measuring from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the liitle finger along the central channel of the body.  Each of our chakric centres is alighned perfectly for us and our body proportions.  

During our Kundalini meditation masterclass my Guru described the base chakra as residing around the space of the perenium and the sacral chakra as being behind the top of the pubis.  The third Chakra is located at the navel or close by.  ​There is a large field that encompasses the solar plexus area yet this is also in the realm of the heart chakra and the inteplay of both will be significant in the manifestation, of this body areas energy field. 

This was a reminder and a revelation for me.  In that first description of Chakras that I read many years ago with a friend, this was the description and the crown was white not violet.  In the midst of my meditation I could tell that this description of the placement of the power centres made perfect sense and was the puzzle peice that had kept me from truly mastering Chakra knowledge and therefore a practice and method that could heal my world with implementation of chakra harmonizing practises.  

Each Chakra may be overly energized or of low ebb or so called blocked and each may even be both.  The Chakras are as small disks, spheres and as great radiating funnels that stretch from a singular point near the spine to large swirling vortices either side of the body - front and back.

The heart, throat, third eye and crown Chakras are a hand span above each to the next, yet attention to these is unwarranted until the grounded chakras are sturdy and secure.  

Yoga asanas (poses), Diaphahmatic breathing, relaxation techniques and healthy diet and lifestyle routines keep the whole body including the 108 Chakra points free flowing and balanced.  

One of Many depictions of Chakras from Eastern Philosophy:

The Crown Chakra is a White flat disc

Many of our Western depictions and concepts of Chakras depict the crown chakra as Violet.  The Chakras as with other colour reference symbolisms are different in different books and as they spread accross people time and cultures.  

The most important thing is that our Mind is able to calm and centre when we want it to and that our foundations are stable.  This is both physically and psychologically.  This understanding is why I chose to study Naturopathy.  Thinking is fantastic but the mind and chemically driven emotions function best when we eat, sleep and exercise well.  
​Namaste.
