THE 7 FUNDAMENTAL CHAKRAS:
The chakras are divided into 7 parts from base to head. The basic one which is situated in the root is called the ‘Muladhara’ chakra.
The Muladhara chakra is the base of the ‘energy body’. In yoga, the main focus is set on this chakra and it is said that is very important to set a stability in this chakra. The awakening of your kundalini depends on this chakra. This chakra has the element of earth, a sense of smell and excretion is also done from here.
The second chakra is situated just above it which is called the ‘Svadhisthana’ chakra. This is situated just above the genital organ.
This chakra is just located above the Muladhara chakra. It is situated just two fingers above the Muladhara chakra. It is just below the belly button.
This chakra of the body functions for the sense of taste and reproduction.
The next in line is the ‘Manipura’ chakra. It is placed just below the navel.
This chakra is the center of willpower, dynamism, energy and achievement. This chakra helps in digestion and has the power of power in the entire human body. When one focuses on this chakra, one receives the power to create or destroy the world.
Then comes the ‘Anahata’ chakra. It is just below the rib cage.
This chakra is described as a tiny flame in the heart. Anahata means the sound of two striking objects that comes together. This chakra is associated with air, touch and the actions of the hands.
The next chakra is the ‘Vishuddhi’ chakra and it is at the pit of the throat.
This chakra purifies the center which is called the nectar or amrita. This chakra helps in creativity and self-expression. When this chakra is open, all the negative experiences are transformed into learning and wisdom. All the success a person receives in his life is determined by how polluted or clean this chakra is.
The next is the ‘Ajna’ chakra. It is situated between the eyebrows.
When the word ‘Ajna’ is translated, it means a command or to perceive something. This is considered as the eye of the intuition and intellect. When a person sees something in the mind’s eye, it is the Ajna chakra that helps them see it. The person who acquires these powers realizes his unity with the Brahman or the universe and they gain the ability to create, preserve and destroy all the three worlds.
The last and the final chakra is called the ‘Sahasrara’ or the ‘Brahmarandra’ chakra. It is situated at the top of the head. If you must have observed, this is a soft spot on the head when the child is born.
This chakra is called the ‘thousand-petaled lotus’ and it is the most subtle chakra in the human body. It is related to the pure consciousness and it is the head of all the chakras. The reason is that from this chakra all the other chakras emanate. When a yogi reaches a stage where they can raise their Kundalini, which is the energy of consciousness, a state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is experienced.
This stage is said to bring rebirth and the siddhis in the power of the person who practices it. A person is able to transform itself into a divine being and can become whoever they wish to be.
