The chakras and channels of energy
Mooladhara Chakra
The first chakra is situated below the sacrum bone in
which resides the Kundalini, and its main aspect is the
innocence. Innocence is the quality by which we experience
pure, childlike joy, without the limitations of prejudice or
conditionings. Innocence gives us dignity, balance, and a
tremendous sense of direction and purpose in life. It is
nothing but simplicity, purity and joy.
It is the inner wisdom that is ever present in the little
children, and gets sometimes clouded by our modern lifestyles.
But it is a quality which exists eternally within us and
cannot be destroyed, waiting to be manifest as pure joy when
the Kundalini rises.
Swadishthan Chakra
The second chakra is the chakra of creativity, pure
attention and pure knowledge. It is the one which connects us
to the inner source of inspiration, and enables us to
experience the beauty around us. The pure knowledge given by
this chakra is not mental, but it is direct perception of the
Reality, that can be felt in our palms and indicates our
subtle blockages. Also this is the center of pure, steady
attention and power of concentration.
On the physical level it looks after our liver, kidneys,
and the lower abdomen. When we think too much, this center
gets drained of energy and diseases like diabetes or blood
cancer can occur when this chakra goes completely out of
balance.
Nabhi Chakra
The third chakra is the one that gives us the sense of
generosity, complete satisfaction and contentment. On the left
side, the main quality of this center is peace - clearing this
chakra can relieve stress and tensions. On the right side, it
looks after our liver which is the organ of our attention and
power of concentration.
When enlightened by the Kundalini, the Nabhi chakra gives
us our spiritual ascent, righteousness and inner sense of
morality, and complete balance at all levels in our life.
