Lower chakra development - why?

Why until now have I concentrated on lower chakra development when most probably everyone is interested in the spiritual chakras and beyond? Primarily this is because every journey begins with a single step, and even though I have a huge amount I want to share with reference to not only the high chakras but also the higher spiritual regions (and believe me it gets absolutely fascinating even if it is from my experience and perspective). Secondly I want everyone to be successful. It is easy to live like a spiritual monk and develop and become a guru, however this does not achieve your aim in life.
Each of us is here for a unique purpose and you do not necessarily fulfil that purpose by cutting yourself off from the world (yes it makes life easier). If isolation is not this lives challenge you will fail no matter how advanced you become. Think back to the case of Jesus, he was well aware of his destiny when he was a young child but he still learned a real world trade, he became a carpenter. He had to master real world survival skills of the time which is ultimately to put food on the table.

You also have to master these real world survival skills. You have to be able to fulfil your real world destiny before you can truly be free to explore your inner universe.

So far in the Blog I have covered a number of things which I would like to highlight.

Breathing
Retraining yourself to breathe properly is a highly under-regarded skill. Any serious spiritual seeker should make great pains to consider their breathing technique not only in meditation but in every day life. Good deep breathing should become habitual which in essence will turn you into an energy generating machine which is so important for spiritual development.

Learning a breathing skill for transmutation, will increase your personal power as well as develop your spiritual ability. Many have never learned the science behind breathing and so I will summarise now (though I will post in depth later). Every individual has a certain amount of life essence which is used for healing and reproduction. By using appropriate techniques this can be transmuted into pure energy which your body can use to heal on a deeper causal level. This energy will also provide you with the raw spiritual potential necessary for enhanced development. There are also yogic exercises which will further enhance this.

Body
It is a sad fact of life that you grow up, but once you finish growing you slowly start to die. This may seem overly pessimistic but it is true. It is important to look after your body because no matter how spiritual you are or intend to become, your body will let you down. In my opinion economy of effort is vital because there is just not enough hours in the day to do everything, so I believe that if spiritual development is your number one priority you should try and encompass physical exercises which supplement and enhance your spiritual efforts. Hence why I included the Tibetan rites in my early posting.

Soul
Balance is an issue in development, which can hamper you in everyday life. As you develop you will start to feel emotions begin to overpower you. Many people report feeling fear or anxiety anger or rage. It is important to realise that these issues are just your subconscious mind clearing and healing your energetic blueprint. A simple and effective way of bringing your life back into balance is to call on the planetary rays (and planetary rays 2). Some people would prefer to work with ascended masters and beings of light. This is not a problem as each master has their own individual qualities which can benefit you greatly. All you have to do is ask. (Ascended Masters and Planetary Rays). One great aspect of using the masters is that you build a relationship which can help prevent feelings of spiritual isolation.

Manifestation
Everything which I have written about thus far has a real world aspect. However many seekers have been made aware of manifestation by the vast popularity of the film “The Secret”. Manifestation is a completely natural occurrence which happens daily in your lives. The real secret is that through development what you manifest will be in line with your highest goals. You can not do this through positive thinking; you must overhaul your entire system, In order to prevent any subconscious negativity from creeping in and polluting your thought process. I have written a post on this subject purely as a warning (do not buy any secret behind the secret rubbish). Everything I have linked to above will strengthen your manifestation power tenfold and prevent negativity from destroying what you have set out to achieve.

All I can say is, be an open minded sceptic and give it a go….Its the best free information money can buy.

Chakra Healing - Healing the Chakra System

Whether you are interested in Psychic development, manifestation of material wealth, or even your own health, you will not progress very far if you have imbalances and blocks in the chakra system. Chakra healing is fundamental to all aspects of spiritual development. There is an awful lot of material written on chakra healing, varying from energetic healing systems to colours and crystals. However each source I have read misses completely the necessary corrective action required by each individual necessary to heal the chakra's and progress.

There are relatively standard answers for chakra healing; you can find them pretty much anywhere. Some rather unscrupulous individuals may even charge for the very basic information that I will provide in the list below. I say unscrupulous because none of the systems on their own work. Each healing system requires interaction from the healee.

Activation Methods

Further to Chakras for Beginners. Each chakra has a colour, a crystal, a sound and a ray. By using any one or all four you allow the chakra to vibrate thus releasing any blocks. This has a temporary healing effect, i.e. any local blockages may be cleared and the associated organs improve in efficiency.  However (and this is key) any release is only temporary and will reoccur unless the root cause is exposed and dealt with. In many cases the root cause has lain dormant so long that the whole chakra system is on the verge of collapse. This is an issue that is so often ignored in literature and in so called "Master" practice.

Permanent Change
If you require healing, you must take appropriate action according to what I believe to be the core values of spirituality. Every doctrine without fail highlights the core values of love, compassion and forgiveness as necessary for health and progression. Yet when the vast majority of practitioners of any healing art conduct their business they tend to forget or ignore them completely. I have found through experience that an individual can not heal, can not manifest and can not progress spiritually without abiding by these core values. Any practitioner who zaps you with Reiki or such like and says "arise you are healed" is living in cloud cuckoo land. Healing is a personal journey and there is not one individual alive who does not require healing.  Even the most enlightened of guru's must continue to heal or collapses can occur.

As an example of how this works, you as an individual is struggling to take action (3rd chakra) have lost your job or interest in your job (2nd) and now fears for the future (1st Chakra). Conventional wisdom dictates that you must heal from above the highest affected point i.e. in this case from the heart chakra. However issues have compounded and the root chakra is affected (also I would suggest that all development should occur from the bottom up). So rather than attempt to heal the anxiety caused by failure to take action (in the solar plexus) head to the root chakra and remove the fears that cause the anxiety (also and energetically important you allow the outflow of the energetic system to open up and make healing of higher levels much easier).

I would suggest working at a root level in all cases of personal healing and spiritual journey. As Jesus said, the wise man built his house upon a foundation of rock. Only once healing is satisfactory at that level should you attempt to progress. As you can see this is a long old journey but it works, and provides for a balanced material life and solid foundation for advancement into the spiritual.

Chakra Activation and Clearing
Using this list  you can find a healing technique appropriate to your level:
chakra healing
1st chakra - Colour Red - Chrystal Ruby - Sound/Mantra Lam - 1st Ray
2nd chakra - Colour Orange - Crystal Carnelian - Sound/Mantra Vam - 2nd Ray
3rd Chakra - Colour Yellow - Crystal Carnelian - Sound/Mantra Ram - 3rd Ray
4th Chakra - Colour Green - Crystal Emerald/ Rose Quartz -Sound/Mantra Yam - 4th Ray
5th Chakra - Colour Blue - Crystal Blue Lace Agate - Sound/Mantra Ham - 5th Ray
6th Chakra - Colour Indigo - Crystal Blue Lace Agate - Sound/Mantra Om - 6th Ray
7th Chakra - Colour Violet - Crystal Diamond - Sound/Mantra Ng - 7th Ray
chakra healing
Using our example we start by selecting a method for making the root chakra vibrate. We choose the 1st Ray (I will cover the planetary rays in depth in a later post) as this allows us to contemplate what arises from our subconscious during meditation. During the meditation we see someone bullying us at work, it makes us angry and we procrastinate on the issue. This is now where the real healing occurs. If we are to truly and permanently heal this blockage and solve the problem, we must forgive this person with all your heart.

Forgiveness is an incredibly powerful healing tool, without which we can not progress. When I say forgiveness I don’t mean sit and say "oh well that’s it, I forgive you" and carry on subconsciously hating the individual. Really and truly, earnestly forgive.  You could say something like "I forgive you for everything " and keep repeating it until you feel a release. Visualise yourself making up with the individual, hugging the individual, see them accepting your forgiveness.  Only once you feel that gasp of release are you healed of that particular blockage.

This process should be repeated for all levels and chakras, and should become a continuing practice throughout your life.  Because only through forgiveness can you be truly set free.

Healing Circle
Another way of activating a chakra and assisting in the clearing process is to join our healing circle here at the Healing Sphere (I will get a post up with how to go about joining) This is a wonderful energy which comes from the 352nd level of Mahatma.  It is not available everywhere as there are still too few people on the planet capable of channelling this vibration of energy. (I promise I will work on the healing circle next)

Chakras for Beginners - Understanding the Chakra System and its Benefits

Many people when starting to explore their spirituality in a deeper manner they become aware of and wish to understand chakras a little more.  In response to this I wrote this "Chakras for Beginners" post.  Be under no illusion this is a subject that everyone can learn from regardless of age race or otherwise. so without further ado


Chakras for Beginners
The Chakra system is an essential tool when considering development no matter whether you follow a particular ideology or not. Each chakra is representative of a particular state of consciousness thus by mastering each stage of consciousness you in theory are more than capable of creating the material aspects of the corresponding chakras.

I had one email from a "psychic" who says "I’m working out of the third eye chakra so how come I’m struggling to make ends meet?" I hope the following post will explain why.

The Basic Chakra System
There are many chakras in the bioenergetics system, but when dealing with basic consciousness we generally only deal with the seven main chakras which are:

1: The Root Chakra - located at the Perineum
2: The Sacral Chakra - located at the sacrum but emanates from the area at the top edge of pelvis below the belly button.
3: The Solar Plexus Chakra - Located at the Solar Plexus
4: The Heart Chakra - Located at the centre of the breast around four fingers up from the sternum.
5: The Throat Chakra - Located at the throat
6: The Third Eye Chakra - Located between the eyebrows and slightly above.
7: The Crown Chakra - located at the top of the head.

As said previously, each chakra represents a level of consciousness. There are many explanatory terms used for each so in order to keep things simple I will use basic terms for the sake of understanding. The root consciousness is the lowest form of human consciousness; it is our animal instinct and drive. The sacral level is our reproductive level and by reproductive, I don’t necessarily mean babies, I mean any form of activity both healthy and unhealthy which if repeated create an outcome i.e. hold down a job - get a steady pay packet. The solar plexus is the power centre and the self identity centre.  People who have settled into this level tend to be very self orientated, everything is for gratification of the self. In the heart centre the opposite is true. The heart is a sense of community and something greater than the self. The throat is the knowledge centre. The third eye is the wisdom centre and the crown the enlightened centre.

Each chakra has its associated positive and negative traits. It is the negative traits which tend to prevent manifestation in that level of consciousness. This negativity also creates blockages or energetic dead spots, which can cause overpowering thought processes which will not allow positive thinking. i.e. when you follow "The Secret" to the letter, you’ll sit saying "I am rich.  I have £100,000 in the bank."  When all the time the anxiety builds up inside of you because you know full well you are not rich and your flat broke, the debt collectors are at the door, and Santa isn’t coming calling this year!! Sound familiar?

Before you can consider attempting to clear blockages you still need to know how the system works in order to both prevent reoccurrence and to develop properly from this point onward. As we now know, the chakra system rises physically in relation to our consciousness. Therefore you will have been through a stage in your life where you have been animalistic, worked repetitively for results, been a little self orientated, searched for love etc. If you trace back over your life, you will realise that the further back you go the lower your consciousness was (or should be, I am well aware there are many adults who still behave like they are in primary school, but hey study the chakra system and you will work out why... the vast majority will not have progressed beyond the sense of self and selfish need of the third chakra).
chakras for beginner
I will use love as an example of how the system works. By now, searching for genuine love, you should have progressed through levels one two and three, i.e. you have progressed beyond the animal, you can now reproduce positive behaviour strategies, and have realised that to get on in life you have to take others into consideration. Love and the heart chakra has, like every other chakra, a mini consciousness which is representative of the entire chakra system.
chakras for beginners
You feel the urge to find a partner (animal) you try being cool, you try being wild and then realise its better to be nice (reproduction of positive behaviour).  You realise that if you want to keep hold of a partner you need to make sacrifices (self identity). Finally you are able to fall in love (heart).  Everything does not works out as planned but you learn (knowledge) subsequently by using all of your knowledge gained, you develop (wisdom) and suddenly by applying all of your wisdom you are able to secure a lasting relationship (enlightenment) you have mastered love......Next!!!!
chakras for beginners
Hopefully you could see that in basic terms in order to master each phase of consciousness in each stage of your life, you have to go through or have had to go through a mini development process. Achieving everything in life is exactly the same (but not so simple). We are humans, we have emotions and emotions cause energetic blockages! Blockages lead to fear, ill health and lack of action which equals no manifestation and "The Secret" castigated as a load of old horse manure. HARRUMPH
