7 Chakras
Definition of Meridian Lines and Nerve Points:
Meridian lines – a meridian in our body is just like a freeway system in a country. It helps transfer various types of information to different parts. The connection points between meridian lines – the nerve points, would be just like freeway junctions, which allow cars to transfer through without blocking.
When a nerve point is blocked, it would be like a big traffic jam within a junction, without any cars able to move. This would result in the body becoming stiff and painful.
A traffic jam can have two causes – too many cars going through the junction at the same time, which could mean too much stress. Or the second cause which would be like a car accident, in which a nerve point has been hit or damaged.
All the nerve systems through the meridian lines join to our centre core (the spine), this becomes the idea of Chakra.
Definition of Chakra:
A Chakra is a main energy centre within our body. It connects to our nervous system and meridian lines in a very complex system.
You can also imagine a chakra as an airport that allows an airplane to fly to a different destination and the path the airplane takes between two airports would be like the meridian lines within our human body. The power that enables the airplane to fly is the energy (this includes both the petrol and the engine – like our blood and nervous system). The passengers in the plane are the information of our intention, which directs how we use our energy for different types of activities.
However there are 7 main airports within our body. These 7 airports are well known in Eastern Asian philosophy – the 7 Chakras. They offer a transit line to the many different smaller airports within the body. The smaller airports represent nerve points. A nerve point is like an airport it allows the airplane to do a transit, refuel and transfer more information, which in our bodies would be changing the information and enables us to active our body to complete certain activities – even to read a few lines from a magazine would need millions of airplanes to fly within our body. The human body is quite a busy transportation system, that’s why it is so easy for us to feel stressed and build tension within our bodies
Each energy centre carries a different function that relates to a particular activity in life.
Desire
1st Chakra Energy
Energy Type: Desire
Location: In between the Perenium & Testicles (In between nerve points, Long & Strong and Connection Yin) – for women the pelvic floor
Chakra Name: Desire Ocean – like an ocean wave, whatever you desire you get, is not enough a new wave comes. It is also called a black hole system – the story of desire is never ending.
Element: Fire Energy
Many people have an impression that desire is bad. This is because most people misuse desire in an ego and greedy way. The ego and greedy use of desire of desire is common amongst people and it brings well known bad results, like people that have are greedy for food, and they become overweight. The misuse of desire in a greedy way only leads to more suffering. It is bad because you don’t have the wisdom to control it.
Desire is not good nor bad. Like a knife – a knife in the hands of a psycho person used to kill people is bad. But in the hands of a skillful person used to slice food to feed to the hungry it becomes good.
So, desire is not good or bad, but can be good or bad. If desire is directed in a spiritual direction it automatically becomes spiritual function. Desire becomes perfect.
When desire is guided into perfect, we can enjoy desire in an unlimited way. Life has a program for us to enjoy life, but because we a limited by our blindness and greed we aren’t able to see the proper use of desire.
Desire & Emotion
Definition of Desire: The wish to want something. If you want something that is already desire. A lot of people believe that Sex is desire…. but it is the feeling of ‘want’ that is desire.
Levels of Desire:
Survival & continual survival (Food & Sex/Procreation) *sex is also the final level because it comes from the desire to continue your own life – but it’s wrong because another life is another life.
Secure the survival (job, money, property)
Emotion to build up relationships – so that you can enjoy the survival (relationships with others also surviving to increase the security)
Fame (Wants the security of love from many people, even more money security – security of survival from fame is even stronger)
Power – politics. If you like me or don’t like me it doesn’t matter. I have the power of armies and countries, I can control everything. Security that comes from this is very big because security is no longer reliant on other people, it is totally up to you.
Blind belief – trying to get security from death by blind believing in a heaven etc. ‘Hopefully we can continue to survive after this life…’
Understand life through knowledge – trying to understand life. Using knowledge to discover some sort of eternity to continue life. This is when science power is formed. However science only observes physical materials – it uses the power to be aware to observe and analyse these materials. This observing power is the power of life.
Passion
Passion is the power the makes you trust that there is value to be ambitious for. There are two types of passion possibilities; One is the power of being excited, which is the passion power itself for the future goal, but it could end in suffering because the passion is leaded by blindness. The other is passion that motivates you to work hard towards a goal that may bring excitement.
It connects to your consciousness, through feeling, through idea, through desire – and convinces you that you need it.
Passion energy is represented by the colour of orange, and the name passion lights.
Passion is both good and bad, but is also not good nor bad – it can be both and it can be Perfect.
Passion can be both good and bad depending on the intention or the reason for its use.
It is neither good nor bad because the power is self does have intention. So the power of passion alone is just a tool.
Passion is perfect because it can be used to develop wisdom and compassion.
Passion will encourage you to only follow the eternally true ideas. If it’s not eternal in the end it will end, or you will fail.
It will motivate your heart to only follow what is truth in life, what will help you to understand more. This passion wants you to become perfect.
Passion that encourages you to follow the eternal truth of life will lead you into a perfect life – because you will only be following something that is eternal. Not that is part of things that are constantly changing – which will only bring you suffering.
Passion:
When I was young I heard sentences like ‘our body is a mini universe’ and ideas like ‘through different types of spiritual training we can discover our true self and connect to enlightenment.
At that time I really had no clue what they were talking about but they all invoked feelings of mystery and adventure.
It sounded as though that was the highest level of joy that we could possibly experience in life.
But my normal life seemed far away from this high standard of being. Until, through many different types of training, like yoga, taiji, martial arts and meditation, I finally understood that all this has something to do with the wonderful gift within every life, the 7 Chakras.
Once I came to understand this incredible 7 chakra centre core energy it brought me the possibility to break my limitation to be aware of more – beyond human limitation, to enjoy an unlimited great sense of joy. Which is a wonderful secret force to create the power of happiness.
A common mistake we have in life is that we are often searching for happiness in other people or a future situation, that means we depend of happiness from some external factor. Which means that it doesn’t matter whether we obtain it or not, we will always be insecure. But to understand the secret force to create the happiness, means we will no longer have to be a beggar – we become a king of happiness.
To be able to create a fortune of joy for ourselves and more importantly be able to share this joy with others. That’s the true fortune of life.
Once you discover this 7 chakra secret force. All other things such as health, fame and wealth will just come along – because you will have this entire developed positive energy to support you to reach any goal you want in life. Your positive energy will radiate to those around you, and they in turn will be willing to support and follow you.
