Socio-Emotional Development

A chakra may be a wheel or a vortex, but it operates like a ball of energy interpenetrating the physical body. The Chakras themselves are not physical; you can’t see them on x-ray. 

They are aspects  of consciousness, and they interact with the physical and energetic body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the nine endocrine glands, and also with a particular group of nerves, called a plexus, making them important elements in healing. 

Thus, each chakra correspond with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland, which is they key to understand how chakra healing method work.

The Chakra represent not only particular part of your physical body but also particular part of your CONSCIOUSNESS. Your Consciousness, how you perceive your reality, represent everything it is possible for you to experience. 

All of your senses, perceptions, and possible states of awareness can be divided into seven categories, and each of these categories can be associated with particular Chakra. When you feel tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the Chakra associated with the part of you consciousness experiencing the stress, and in the parts of the physical and energy body associated with that Chakra. WHERE you feel stress is depends therefore WHY you feel stress.

when you are hurt in a relationship, you feel it in  your Heart. When you are nervous, your legs tremble and your bladder becomes weak. When there is tension in a particular part of you consciousness, and therefore in the chakra associated with that part of your consciousness, the tension is detected by the nerves of the plexus associated with that chakra and communicated to the parts of the physical and energy body controlled by that plexus. 

When the tension continues over a period of time or reaches a particular degree of intensity, it creates a symptom on the physical level and requires chakra healing to resolve. Again, the symptom serves to communicate to you through body what you have been doing to yourself  in your consciousness.

Just like thirst (by the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated), the physical symptom belies a long standing energy body, imbalance. In order to reverse it, physical change may be required first as well as Chakra healing practices. 

When we change something about our way of BEING, we can release the stress that has been creating the symptom(s), and then we can return to our natural state of balance and health.

No one chakra is better than the others or more important than any other in the process of energy body balancing and chakra healing. You don’t want to have extra Heart chakra energy and less Throat chakra energy; its simply doesn’t work like that. Ideally, all seven of your chakras are healed, balanced, open and humming, allowing energy to flow into and out of your body. 

The amazing thing is that your body is going to find a way to move energy in and out(unless, of course, your ego-self is telling it to hold on to something). If one of your chakras is closed or underactive, there is a very good chance that another chakra will overactive to make up the difference. (E.g. self ; how vishuddhichakra is imbalance/underactive and to make up the difference the swadhisthanchakra gets overactive)

Because your body ants to achieve energetic balance in your chakras, moving too far in either direction( underactive or overactive) in any one chakra can actually negativeeffects in your body and be counterproductive to the energy body and chakra healing process.

An underactive chakra kicks another chakra into overdrive, which in turn pulls extra energy say from that part of the body. We need to understand how we may act or feel when our chakras get knocked out of balance and need healing.

The opening and closing of our chakras works like an energetic defense system. A negative experience (and high-low frequency that comes with it) can cause the associated chakra energy to close in order to block that energy out. 

Similarly, if we are clinging to a low-calibrating feeling like Blame, prolonging the emotion because we refuse to deal with or move it, we close off the chakra (the channel through which the energy would otherwise escape), which then requires special chakra healing techniques. 

Any of the emotions that sit at the lower end will likely to trigger a chakra energy constriction. I believe e feel that constriction as the tightness that comes into our mind and body when we are stressed.

As we open and heal our chakras, energy is able to flow  freely once again and things return to normal. Sometimes it’s a matter of moving energy throughout our body, moving our own frequency up or tackling and extracting  a difficult thorn that is stressing us out.

For now, I simply want you to understand how important chakra healing is and that your chakras be open and allow energy to move through you without obstruction. Each chakra’s connection to a key Endocrine gland and Nervous system in your body means that an energy deficiency could lead to serious physical consequences if you ignore it for too long.

I often wonder if the heartbreak I experienced when my mother passed away at very young age due to cancer, which suppressed my immune system enough – along with negative thinking, grief, and sugar (cancer cell have far glucose receptor than normal cells) – to allow the cancer cells that were already in my body to grow.
