|
Chakras in Sanskrit means “spinning wheels,” and refer to the energy centers of the human body. There are 7 major chakras. They are connected to the major functions of our organs and glands. These energy centers can become weakened through emotional hurts. These energy centers become blocked and produce disease and emotional problems.
The chakras are associated with a planet and its meaning in our lives. The order of the chakras in relationship to the planet’s rulership is based on our solar system, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, and the Sun.
The 1st root chakra is at the base of the spine ruled by Saturn and indicates our earthly grounding. The 2nd sacral chakra ruled by Jupiter is our reproductive center or creative. The 3rd solar plexus chakra ruled by Mars pertains to assertiveness. The 4th heart chakra ruled by Venus indicates our ability to receive and give love. The 5th throat chakra ruled by Mercury pertaining to our ability to communicate. The 6th brow chakra ruled by the Moon is our 3rd eye indicating our intuition and the 7th crown chakra ruled by the Sun indicates our connection to the Divine.
Working on healing these energy centers can heal our body and life. I will discuss ways to heal the planetary energies in the next lesson.
