How chakras af fect our health and happiness

There are seven main chakras in the human energy system, a l igned up the sp ine from the base to the crown of the head. The chakras are conductors of energy ; hea l thy chakras a l low energy to f low freely through our phys ica l and emotional bodies and our energet ic system. The f low of l i fe force energy or ch i may be thwar ted however by negat ive ly often by negat ive thoughts . The chakras govern phys ica l par ts of the body y act ing as an energy conductor. Each of the seven chakras re lates to a par t icu lar duct less g land and speci f ic organ in i ts area , supplement ing them with l i fe energy channel led from the cosmos and the ear th . I f one or more is b locked, l i fe energy wi l l not f low freely through the system and we can develop phys ica l problems in that area .

Each re lates to not only phys ica l i ssues but to emotional i ssues . Each has encoded with in i t the pattern of our att i tudes which are b locking the l i fe force or a l lowing i t to f low freely. I t i s our thoughts and att i tudes more than anyth ing e lse which b lock or re lease the f low of energy through the chakras .

During the Soul Awakening Coaching Method we wi l l look at the Chakra stor y under ly ing the f i rst three Chakras as these are what we c lass at the phys ica l chakras that conta in a l l o f our human condit ioning .

The 7 Chakras and Endocr ine Glands

Each of the chakras in the body is pa ired with an endocr ine g land and governs i ts funct ion. So before we go any fur ther, here are each of the chakras , the ir corresponding g land, and their funct ion:

Your Chakra System


Why a deeper understanding of the Chakras is so important.

When we fee l stuck in our l ives , whether i t be from insecur i ty, conf idence issues , lack of sp ir i tua l awareness or the other myriad problems that can occur in our l ives i t can be too easy to sett le into i t and accept i t as the norm. . Even when we have some knowledge of our Chakras we can focus main ly on the phys ica l aspects that they govern and not pay any attent ion to the deep emotions that they are a lso connected to.

In th is eBook, An Introduct ion to Chakras we’ l l be looking at the ‘aspects ’ of ourse lves that the Chakras tru ly represent and how working with them int imate ly can help us uncover deep rooted issues that can cause b lockages , whether these are se l f - truths we have been condit ioned to learn from chi ldhood, negat ive se l f - ta lk , lack of grounding or poor mot ivat iona l sk i l l s to name a few. By rea l ly gett ing to know and understand the power of ba lance in a l l the Chakras and doing some deep work with in we can re lease the potent ia l to be joyfu l , pass ionate , ca lm, sp ir i tua l , grounded and truthfu l in a l l th ings which is turn wi l l br ing about unpara l le led fee l ings of ca lm, stab i l i ty and purpose .

Whether i t ’s for yourse l f or for a c l ient , working through a l l the aspects us ing meditat ion, introspect ion, quest ions and intens ive se l f -care we can tru ly unlock the power that l ies with in each ‘aspect ’ to ensure that body, mind and sp ir i t are fu l ly connected and ready to l ive the best l i fe poss ib le . Only through these techniques can Soul Truth be unlocked with i ts boundless rewards of abundance and rea l i sat ion of h igher purpose .

The Chakras

Root Chakra


METAPHYSICAL - IDENTITY, ROOTS, FAMILY, BELONGING, SUPPORT, FOUNDATION, TRIBE, STABILITY AND STRUCTURE.

PHYSICAL - REPRODUCTIVE GLANDS (TESTES IN MEN; OVARIES IN WOMEN);

CONTROLS SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT AND SECRETES SEX HORMONES.


Nothing is more impor tant to us than our roots , the power of The Ear th f lows through us and keeps us grounded as we mainta in our stab i l i ty in in the phys ica l world . We need these fee l ings of secur i ty and wholeness to funct ion, when we fee l ‘un-grounded’ i t can make us fee l lost and anxious , l ike a sh ip without an anchor. Our most cruc ia l inst incts of sur v iva l are nur tured here and without these ‘roots ’ we may become disor ientated and lose our way in l i fe . Healing through the Root aspect:

Those who have an underact ive Root aspect may f ind themselves fee l ing smal l and unable to meet their own needs . This person wi l l need to work on deep grounding meditat ion to re-establ i sh their connect ion to the ear th in order to fee l stab i l i sed and whole .

Those with an over-act ive Root aspect may fee l a need to dominate or may suf fer with compuls ive behav iour, the key th ing here is to c lear any b lockages and work on establ i sh ing ba lance by working through any past cha l lenges that may be in f luencing th is behav iour such as fami ly-trauma.

The areas of the body governed by the Root aspect are coccyx, large intest ine , adrenal g lands , back, leg , feet and bones .

Root aspect represents foundat ions , sa fety and sur v iva l , some impor tant quest ions to work through here are what areas in l i fe do you not fee l sa fe? Do you trust that l i fe wi l l suppor t you? Are you able to establ i sh hea l thy boundar ies?

Understanding the First Chakra - Root


Our Root Chakra is located at the base of our sp ine . I t ’s the f i rst of the 7 main chakras because energy f lows upwards through us from the Ear th before travel ing on to the remain ing 6 .

Our Root chakra is our base of be ing . Our Tether to Ear th , where a l l o f our core , “Root” aspects come from. I t in f luences our needs such as sa fety and secur i ty. I t ’s where we store our sur v iva l inst incts and in f luences our fee l ings of abundance or scarc i ty.

I t keeps us grounded, as i t i s our most phys ica l chakra .

When i t i s damaged or b locked, i t can cause fee l ings of anxiety, scarc i ty and fear. These fee l ings can cause negat ive mani festat ions in your l i fe such as :

Phys ica l a i lments may appear in the lower body such as feet , legs , knee (etc . ) pa in . I t could a lso mani fest as a lowered immune system or fer t i l i ty problems.

Our Root Chakra becomes b locked or damaged by s i tuat ions and c ircumstances in our l ives that have made us fee l unsafe , phys ica l ly hur t or in a state of lack or danger in anyway.

When i t becomes damaged or b locked, i t can swir l with e i ther too much energy or not enough. Not enough energy results in you becoming smal ler, scarc i ty and strugg le dominate and you have trouble meet ing your needs .

I f i t swir ls with too much energy you can become greedy or control l ing . OCD tendencies or obsess ions may mani fest .

We a l l have a Root Chakra stor y. Ident i fy ing yours is a key in success fu l ly c lear ing and hea l ing i t . When we know what caused the problems, we can more eas i ly remedy them. Ident i fy your Root Chakra stor y by tragedy, danger, suf fer ing and strugg le in e i ther your past or your parents who could have passed on their own blocks to you.

Clear ing and restor ing proper energy f low wi l l he lp you to f ind ba lance so that you may move onto the next chakra .

Sacral chakra


METAPHYSICAL - RELATIONSHIPS, SENSUALITY AND THE EXPERIENCE OF PLEASURE, INTIMACY, CREATIVITY, EMOTIONS AND MANIFESTING.

PHYSICAL - ADRENAL GLANDS; REGULATES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

AND METABOLISM.


How often in l i fe do we fee l l ike we are exist ing but not rea l ly l iv ing and enjoy ing? We can fee l l ike we are going through the mot ions but not ab le to express ourse lves fu l ly whether that i s creat ive ly, sexual ly or emotional ly. The aspect of second chakra , known as the Sacra l enables us to fu l ly engage with int imacy, warmth and p lay fu lness . We a l l have an inner chi ld that longs to break free and have some fun, when we sup-press th is par t of ourse lves we can fee l sta le , imprisoned and joy less . We need to let our ideas f low, create for the sake of creat ion rather than being ens laved to precon-ceived ideas , r igorous ru les and over ly-control led emotions . Healing through the Sacral Aspect:

I f someone is strugg l ing with an underact ive Sacra l they may be hold ing onto unex-pressed emotions that are wait ing to be re leased. They wi l l need to work with their inner chi ld through deep meditat ion to d iscover what br ings them joy, what they can re lease to make room for unfettered enjoyment?

Moreover i f someone is strugg l ing with an overact ive Sacra l Aspect they may be br imming over with too much st imulat ion, ideas that never reach fru i t ion before they move onto the next , overspending and re lat ionship problems. In th is instance they need to do some work on reba lanc ing th is aspect with hea l thy eat ing , exerc ise and a f f i rmat ions . This aspect governs h ips , lower back, sexual organs , b ladder, k idneys , stomach, large intest ine , pe lv is , appendix , and bodi ly f lu ids .

To work with th is aspect ask quest ions l ike do I a l low mysel f to fee l p leasure? Do I g ive mysel f t ime to be creat ive? How do I funct ion in re lat ionships?

Understanding the Second Chakra - Emotions

Sacral Chakra: Relationships, sensuality and the experience of pleasure, intimacy, creativity, emotions and manifesting. Purpose: Relat ionship to our fee l ings and emotions , creat iv i ty and sexual i ty. How we re late to others and express our emotions . Engag ing in p lay, p leasure , fun and creat iv i ty.

Represents our ab i l i ty to emotional ly express and connect to others . This can be l ikened to the inner-chi ld where we can fee l free enough to express ourse lves through pass ion, purpose and creat iv i ty. Here we exchange the energy of ourse lves with the energy of others around us and society, as we star t to form our own ident i ty and express ion.

When th is chakra is out of ba lance there can be issues with emotions , sexual i ty, and re lat ionships . You may not fee l ver y express ive and you can fee l uncomfor table express ing or honouring your emotions . There may be issues with re lat ionships , int imacy, emotional instab i l i ty, menstrua l cyc le and these issues can mani fest on a phys ica l leve l . Addict ions can a lso ar ise as a way to escape d i f f icu l t emotions .

Second Chakra

Solar Plexus chakra


METAPHYSICAL - TRANSFORMATION, WILL, IDENTITY, CONFIDENCE, EGO, MOTIVATION, DRIVE, SELF-WORTH AND MOJO.

PHYSICAL - STOMACH, PANCREAS AND REGULATES METABOLISM.


Power, conf idence , pr ide , br i l l i ance - the Power aspect i s so impor tant when i t comes to manag ing our ab i l i ty to handle ourse lves in d i f f icu l t s i tuat ions . Phrases l ike ‘ fee l ing frazz led’ and ‘hot tempered’ are par t of our ever yday vernacular for a reason. The f i re aspect p lays a p ivota l role in help ing us f ind a p lace of ba lance , ca lm and peace no matter what l i fe throws at us . I t ’s an area of great power and a resource of strength . Healing through the Power aspect:

I f someone is strugg l ing with an underact ive Power aspect i t i s key for them to work with how they can get more motivat ion in their l ives . This can be done through pract ica l exerc ises such as sett ing and working towards goals with a c lear structure in p lace .

Whereas i f someone has an overact ive Power aspect they may need to explore some ant i -stress techniques to help them achieve ca lm, pat ience and acceptance that a l l wi l l be wel l .

Power aspect represents who we are in l i fe and how we interact with the phys ica l world , i t ’s a l l about our unique indiv idua l i ty and the impress ion we leave upon the world with our att i tude and our act ions .

Power aspect governs the d igest ive tract , stomach, smal l intest ine , l iver and pancreas , and as such i t i s an area of trans format ion. The th ird chakra , known as the Solar P lexus centre represents the f i re in our bel ly, mot ivat ion, energy and ba lance , we can work with i t by ask ing ourse lves quest ions such as how is Power mani fest ing in my l i fe? How do my th ink ing patterns represent the e lements of f i re? Do I th ink too much? Am I too indi f ferent?

13

Understanding the Third Chakra - Power

Solar Plexus: Power, Transformation, Will, Identity, Confidence, Ego, Motivation, Drive, Self-worth and Mojo. Purpose: Conf idence , personal power, wi l l power, mani fest ing des ires into phys ica l rea l i ty, sense of ident i ty.

I f th is chakra is out of ba lance you may suf fer from issues of low se l f -conf idence and doubt in your ab i l i ty to make decis ions . You may lack a sense of purpose and d irect ion and not be able to use your intu i t ion or gut fee l ing as an intu i t ive gu idance system. Because th is chakra governs d igest ion, there can d igest ive issues and even anger issues from power imbalances .

Deeper Meaning of the Chakras

Third Chakra

Heart chakra


METAPHYSICAL – LOVE, GRIEF, NURTURING, COMPASSION & FORGIVENESS.

PHYSICAL - THYMUS GLAND; REGULATES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.


Love is one of the most natura l yet profound fee l ings we can exper ience in l i fe , whether i t ’s fami l ia l love , romant ic love , cu l inar y love , love of a pet , we a l l exper ience love in our l ives cont inua l ly and without quest ion, I t i s a force unto i tse l f . The love aspect when i t comes to the sp ir i t i s connected to expans ion, a breaking down of boundar ies and a recognit ion that there’s a force that i s much b igger than the se l f and in fact the universe is fu l l o f th is connected compass ion. Here we can see how the Love aspect can be worked with and enhanced:

People who are exper ienc ing an underact ive Love aspect may need to re-connect and work with the energ ies of the ir hear t and the emotional wisdom that can be found in th is area . This may require some hea l ing work to correct any trauma and hur t that may be b locking the way.

I f a c l ient i s strugg l ing with an overact ive Love aspect may need to do some work on ascer ta in ing their patterns of g iv ing and receiv ing , do they tend to be too empathet ic? Are they too g iv ing of themselves? These people may be neg lect fu l of themselves and need to work through that .

The des ires of our hear ts and our pass ions in l i fe are so impor tant , i f a person fee ls they are not dr iven by these pass ions they may fee l unfu l f i l led and a deep fee l ing on d iscontent . When our hear ts are in true a l ignment i t i s a nour ishment for body and soul .

The four th chakra is known as the Hear t centre and the love aspect governs our c ircu lat ion, hear ts , lungs , b lood ce l l s , ve ins , ar ter ies , capi l lar ies and lymph nodes .The power of oxygen that a lso courses through us is connected to the Love aspect .I t ’s wor thwhi le to look with in and ask quest ions of th is area - what l ives in your hear t? I f your hear t was a k ingdom, what i s the ru ler l ike , k ind or needy or imposing? Do you love yourse l f - how do you show yourse l f love?

16

Understanding the Fourth Chakra - Love

Throat chakra


METAPHYSICAL – AUTHENTICITY, EXPRESSION, THE SPOKEN WORD, TRUTH, VIBRATION.

PHYSICAL - THYROID GLAND; REGULATES BODY TEMPERATURE

AND METABOLISM.

Often in l i fe we can fee l inv is ib le and unheard, the v ibrat ions of our voice are so impor tant - we need to express ourse lves fu l ly and communicate free ly and with truth , but due to condit ioning and negat ive re lat ionships we can so often f ind ourse lves s i lenced, both to ourse lves and to others . The f i f th chakra known as the throat centre is a gateway to the v is ionar y aspects above and the phys ica l aspects below, so when th is i s b locked the consequences can be far-reaching . Genuine and pure express ion of ourse lves a l lows us to ‘speak’ our p lace in the world , and a hea l thy ba lance is th is aspect a lso a l lows us to hear the ‘ truth ’ of others as we become more able to l i s ten as wel l as express . Healing through our Authenticity:

Those with an underact ive Throat chakra may fee l unable to communicate e f fect ive ly, they may fee l introver ted and unable to engage . Working through th is with introspect ion and meditat ion wi l l he lp re lease these boundar ies , hold ing on to stuck emotions from chi ldhood can cause b lockages so th is i s the p lace to star t working through these fee l ings .

People with an overact ive Throat Aspect may be over ly cr i t ica l of themselves and others or quick to ta lk over people , interrupt constant ly, or bel i t t le others inconversat ion. In a s imi lar way, th is person wi l l need to do some introspect ive meditat ion but instead the focus should be on awareness of others , how does th is behav iour make other fee l ? What is the true meaning of l i s tening - th is wi l l he lp br ing about ba lance . The areas governed by the Throat Aspect are the throat , neck, ears , jaw, mouth, teeth , gums, tongue , and thyroid g land.

Some quest ions that may help work through any b lockages in th is aspect are where do you fee l you haven’t been a l lowed to speak? How would you l ike to express yourse l f i f not with your voice , for example music or dance? How does i t make you fee l when you are l i s tened to?

Understanding the Firth Chakra - Aut henticitye

Third Eye chakra


METAPHYSICAL – INSIGHT, WISDOM, FORESIGHT & INTUITION.

PHYSICAL - PITUITARY GLAND; PRODUCES HORMONES AND GOVERNS THE FUNCTION OF THE PREVIOUS FIVE GLANDS; SOMETIMES, THE PINEAL GLAND IS LINKED TO THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA AS WELL AS TO THE CROWN CHAKRA.

Incredib ly th is smal l space conta ins an ent ire universe of a l l -knowing wisdom - rather than just be focused on the tr iv ia l , ever yday aspects of l i fe , th is chakra a l lows us to tap into a col lect ive consc iousness and ga in the u l t imate ins ights and myster ies of the universe that are readi ly granted to us . The s ixth chakra is known as the th ird eye , i t g ives us our ins ight and is impor tant as i t he lps you and your c l ients deep-dive into v isua l i sat ion, intu i t ion and personal re f lect ion. Healing through Insight can be broken down as follows:

An over-act ive ins ight can be corrected by min imis ing sensory input through the phys ica l eyes and tra in to focus more on us ing the ‘ inner eye’ , th is can be done through deep meditat ion and v isua l i sat ion techniques .

Whereas someone who is exper ienc ing an under-act ive ins ight aspect may need to reach outs ide themselves , switch-up their rout ine and embrac ing new exper iences in their l ives .

St imulants such as ca f fe ine can actua l ly enhance these states , but they should be used with caut ion as they can eas i ly cause addict ion and anxiety.

Ins ight br ings together our imaginat ion, inte l lect and intu i t ion and helps br ings depth and understanding to our exper iences .

In terms of our bodies , the area of ins ight governs our bra ins , eyes , eyebrows, forehead and p i tu i tar y g lands .

Ins ight i s a key area for growth i f we are to rea l ly understand the rea l i ty of s i tuat ions in our l ives rather than just c louded percept ions and i l lus ions .

A worthwhi le exerc ise is to keep a dream journa l - what are the symbols and s igns your dreams are revea l ing to you? How do you th ink they re late to events in your l i fe?

20

Understanding the Sixth Chakra - Insight

Crown chakra


METAPHYSICAL – CONNECTION TO SOURCE ENERGY.

PHYSICAL - PINEAL GLAND; REGULATES BIOLOGICAL CYCLES, INCLUDING SLEEP.

Whatever your re l ig ious bel ie fs , we a l l have a def in i t ion of our own personal soul wisdom aspect . I t ’s the sp ir i t , the d iv ine spark , the undef inable aspect of us that i sn ’t phys ica l . I t ’s the most controvers ia l aspect in some respects because i t can’t be prov-en or d isproven through log ic , reason or sc ience . But i t i s there and i t f i l l s us with a greatness beyond reasoning . Working with Spir i t can help us understand the vast net-work of connect iv i ty that we a l l be long to - we can tap into pur i ty, c lar i ty and v i ta l i ty and rea l ly explore our greater purpose in th is l i fe . I t i s l inked to our h igher-se lves and the Great Spir i t that understands the machinat ions of the whole universe . How to heal through the soul wisdom aspect:

• Those who strugg le with an overact ive sp ir i t aspect may benef i t from an explorat ion of how to ground themselves . Meditat ion and prayer is impor tant here , br ing ing depth and r ichness to the person’s re lat ionship to their own spir i t to provide a hea l thy and stab i l i s ing awareness .

• An underact ive Soul aspect could indicate that the person needs to spend more t ime contemplat ing their true purpose in l i fe , they wi l l need to strengthen their connect ions and do some work on def in ing what sp ir i t means to them in their own unique l ives .

• Soul Wisdom is one of energy - a l l the energy that f lows through us and s i ts with in the connected energy f ie ld of the universe . I t s i ts with in a l l our ner ve endings and the vast spectrum of connect ions that make us whole .

• To work with Soul aspect we can beg in to ask ourse lves more searching quest ions such as what does sp ir i t mean to me? I f my sp ir i t had a colour what would i t be? How does the concept of sp ir i t make me fee l ? Do i have any preconceived ideas about sp ir i t from my chi ldhood?
