Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) was an ancient Greek
philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on
diverse subjects, including physics, poetry, biology and zoology, logic,
rhetoric, politics and government, and ethics. One of the essential aspects of
his philosophy was his reasoning about Energy and the Body. “The
energy of the mind is the essence of life”. Aristotle distinguishes between natural bodies, and
artificial, such as tables and chairs. Both sorts of bodies have the ability to
be moved. Animate bodies (natural bodies) move themselves, such as humans, but
inanimate objects need force to move. This movement of bodies occurs in time
and place.
As a layman, how do we
understand this energy, essence, mind-body connection? Many authors have
explained this concept in their various books, cd’s, self-help modules. The Law
of Quantum Physics says that Everything is made of Energy. Then how is it that
we can harness this energy for our betterment? What is it that we can do to
keep our body in a state of harmony?
Our thoughts and actions operate from the universal energy
source. Thoughts are
powerful. When we think to take a step, we take a step. When we think to raise
our arm, the arm is elevated. Since thoughts are energy, it would make sense to
choose positive thoughts and actions that will benefit us by replenishing and
expanding our supply of energy, not draining it. The
Universal Life Force flows through the top of the head and down the chakras,
nurturing our bodies with energy; which flows upward through the chakras
communicating individual insight and a conscious sense of universal
interconnectedness. A Chakra literally means a “wheel” or “disc”. According
to the traditional writings there are 88,000 chakras in the human body of which
the most significant ones are the Seven Main Chakras located along the
central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
They are located in the ethereal body and they express the embodiment of
spiritual energy on the physical plane. They are centres of activity that
receives, assimilates and expresses life force energy. They are responsible for
the person's physical, mental, and spiritual functions.
They
absorb and transmit energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial
entities, from people even from things.
Blocked energy in our 7 Chakras can
often lead to illness so it's important to understand what each Chakra
represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.
The
chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating. The activities in them influence
our body, glandular processes, thoughts and behaviour.
When
one (or more) of the chakra is blocked; either partially or completely, and the
energy does not flow harmoniously through them, or it is wide open, it will
result in imbalance that is
manifested in all areas of life.
Each
chakra is expressed on the physical body in one of the endocrine glands that
regulate physical and emotional processes in the body. The imbalance in the
chakra will also be expressed in the endocrine gland linked to it.
Childhood
traumas, cultural conditioning, limited belief system, bad habits, physical and
emotional injuries. Or even just lack of attention, all contribute to chakra
blockage.
Difficulties
abound in life, for each one, we develop a coping strategy. If these
difficulties persist, these coping strategies become chronic patterns, anchored
in the body and psyche as defence structures. It is important to recognise the
blocks we carry, find and understand their source and meaning, and develop
tools to heal them.
We can
influence our chakras, our health, and our lives by using different techniques
such as Colour Therapy, Yoga, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Musical
Composition Incorporating Potent Brainwave and Chakra Harmonics, Conscious
Breathing, Physical exercises, Meditation, Guided Visualisation, Positive
Thinking, Affirmations, Aromas, Crystals and Gemstones.
