the beautiful explanation of chakras, from avatar the last airbender
in case anyone else needed to read through this today.
chakras are pools of spiraling energy in our bodies. there are seven chakras that go up the body. each pool of energy has a purpose, and can be blocked by a specific kind of emotional mark. be warned: opening the chakras is an intense experience, and once you begin this process, you can not stop until all seven are open.
the first chakra is the earth chakra, located at the base of the spine. It deals with survival, and is blocked by fear.
what are you most afraid of? let your fears become clear to you. you are concerned about your survival, but you must surrender those fears. let your fears flow down the creek.
next is the water chakra[, located below your belly button in the center of your stomach]. this chakra deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt.
look at all the guilt that burdens you so. what do you blame yourself for? now accept the reality that these things happened. but do not let them cloud and poison your energy. if you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself.
third is the fire chakra, located in the stomach. this chakra deals with willpower, and is blocked by shame.
what are you ashamed of? what are your biggest disappointments in yourself? you will never find balance if you deny this part of your life.
the fourth chakra is located in the heart. it deals with love and is blocked by grief.
lay all your grief out in front of you. love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. a love of your lost ones has not left this world, it is still inside of your heart; and it is reborn in a form of new love. let it flow through you.
the fifth in the chain is the sound chakra, located in the throat. it deals with the truth, and is blocked by lies, the ones we tell ourselves.
you can not lie about your own nature. you must accept yourself as you are.
the sixth pool of energy is the light chakra, located in the center of the forehead. it deals with insight, and is blocked by illusion.
the greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. we are all one people, but we live as if divided. we are all connected, and everything is connected. even the separation of the four elements is an illusion. if you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one; four parts of the same whole. even metal is just a part of earth that has been purified and refined.
the final chakra is the thought chakra and is located at the crown of the head. it deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachment.
once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in the state of mind where you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. meditate on what attaches you to this world. now, let all of those attachments go, let them flow down the river; forgotten. you must learn to let go, otherwise you won’t be able to let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe.
