Think of the heart. Think of it beating, pumping blood in and out. Imagine the blood flowing through the blood vessels, circulating in the entire body. Feel its essence, its presence everywhere within.
The way that blood flows is strikingly similar to how ki works. Ki, the energy of the body from spiritual origin, has centers throughout the body, each pumping ki and continuing its flow. Chakras is the name given to these centers.
Seven chakras, aligned vertically in the body, are the main centers, the main hearts that pump ki to the other centers. Thousands of minor chakras embed the ki system. They have their use, yet their significance is nothing to the seven main chakras.
Each of the seven has a vital role in the function of ki, not only to pump ki, but also to ‘program’ the ki to perform a certain function. The seven chakras are reservoirs, they hold their specific ki, and when it is time to pump, they will pump out their own ki. When ki from elsewhere enters a certain main chakra, some will be pumped out, while the rest will remain to be programmed and held in the reservoir.
The programmed ki carries on its functions. Each chakra has its own program, and each will be explained in other articles. The program is the function relating to the human being. Ki in each chakra affects the body on various levels---physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
The level that the chakras compose our being is tremendous. They are the main reason for most of our being---the physical appearance and function, the emotional nature, the mental processing and outlook, and the spiritual strength that we possess. Should the seven chakras be in optimal condition, the human with these balanced chakras would have the potential to soar above others. Increased athleticism, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual powers that seem impossible will become that person’s reality.
Yet, most people possess unbalanced, inefficient chakras. It is the result of years of negligence to the existence of chakras. No one is to blame, however. The majority of humanity is not to blame. It has not come to light. It is also a cause for many of the unresolved pains in society---corruption, greed, illness, war. Events such as these do not simply happen. They are actions caused by people prone to doing them, and they are prone to doing them because they are not balanced.
For a person to reach full potential, the chakras must be balanced, for the chakras determine how you operate. In a later article, I will post a balancing exercise.
The following articles will focus on each of the main chakras---the location and the function.
For now, here is the Sanskrit name and basic description of each. Note that each chakra has a specific color that parallels the color spectrum. From lowest to highest, it goes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
