There are seven chakra points along the spine ranging from the Base, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Brow, and Crown chakras.
Base- related to instinct, security, survival and also to basic human potentiality. Physically, governs sexuality, mentally it governs stability, emotionally it governs sensuality, and spiritually it governs a sense of security
Sacral- physically it governs reproduction, mentally it governs creativity, emotionally it governs joy, and spiritually it governs enthusiasm
Solar Plexus- related to the metabolic and digestive systems. Physically, governs digestion, mentally it governs personal power, emotionally it governs expansiveness, and spiritually, all matters of growth
Heart- physically it governs circulation, emotionally it governs unconditional love for the self and others, mentally it governs passion, and spiritually it governs devotion
Throat-relating to communication and growth through expression. Physically, governs communication, emotionally it governs independence, mentally it governs fluent thought, and spiritually, it governs a sense of security
Brow- relates to the access of intuition. Emotionally it deals with clarity on an intuitive level
Crown- generally considered to be the chakra of pure consciousness. Deals with the release of karma, physical action with meditation, mental action with universal consciousness and unity, and emotional action with "beingness"
I believe that we have already accomplished the base (root) chakra because we have gained security and basic human survival. We have also completed the second chakra point known as the sacral point. This can be see as the Renaissance, enlightenment period, and sky rocket population of the earth. Leading to the third chakra point the Solar Plexus.
This is the chakra dealing with digestion, personal power, expansiveness, and all matters of growth. Globalization is the physical branching and growth of our nations/states/tribes and the vast number of religions in the world is a spiritual growth never before seen. We are an information era where you can acquire any knowledge in the blink of an eye with the help of the internet, books, communication. Student Unions are popping up, free (barter) based economies arising, the free share of music, art, and information on the internet, and other various forms of personal power. There is a gradual shift happening now that is putting power the hands back into the people (PowerShift 2009) and giving them a collective voice. And one of the main aspects, physical none the less, is digestion. FOOD! You will see various diets appear and reappear, talk of subsidies to farmers, organic farming, food additives, natural food, whole food, genetically modified food, processed food, fast food, slow food, bio dynamic food, etc. Food is the topic of many discussions and controversies. Whatever you put into your body is how you are going to feel and is ultimately going to affect your body. I believe we are in a food revolution and we need to realize how we acquire our food and what we are eating. No longer can the average person remain unconscious of what they eat. Take responsibility for every dollar you lay down and every calorie going into your body!

ReplyDeleteI agree with this, especially since I watched the Monsanto video and since I learned from another friend about how McDonald's has been getting their beef.
