The Energies of the Chakras

You are composed of a physical and an energetic body. Your energy body consists of the soul, the chakras, and the Higher Self. We typically conceptualize the chakras as circular points of light that are similar to a rainbow and fixed closely along the spine. 

1. The first chakra is located at the base of the spine and is usually depicted by the color red. 
2. The second chakra is located near the sexual organs and above the first chakra. It is depicted by the color orange. 
3. The third chakra is located at the solar plexus and is depicted by the color yellow.
4. The fourth chakra is located at the center of the chest, near the heart, and is depicted by the color green. 
5. The fifth chakra is located near the throat and is depicted by the color blue. 
6. The sixth chakra is located between and slightly above the eyes and is sometimes called the “third eye.” It is often depicted with the color purple. 
7. The seventh chakra is located at the top of the head and is usually depicted by either the color indigo or white.

Spiritual Energies Associated with Each Chakra

The energies of the lower chakras (point one, two, and three) are more “physical” in nature, and perhaps more tactile than the upper chakra points (five, six, and seven).  For example, you ground through the first chakra, and the other two are close to the earth point and deal with bodily functions, but also spiritual ones. The energies of the upper chakras are more mental, ethereal, and spiritual. 

The chakra points are balanced and aligned, even though there are an odd number of chakras. There are three upper chakras and three lower chakras. The fourth chakra is neutral and relates to the heart and to the energy of love.  Love is the center concept to existence.Love is the energy of the Tao and connects and holds all the Tao together as one.

These are the types of spiritual energies associated with each chakra:

First Chakra—Spiritual Energy of Sensing

The spiritual energy associated with the first chakra is related to sensing and connecting. This is how we receive input to interpret our environment. It is also the force that helps us connect to other energetic forces, such as the earth and to other life forces (people, places, animals, etc.). This is the chakra energy that helps us ground or stay rooted and connected with the earth, for example. This is the spiritual energy that helps us sense another person’s essence or true nature. This is the spiritual energy we use to connect with our environment, tribe, or community.  

The spiritual development tool that is most closely associated with cultivating this type of spiritual energy is food. In part it is because food comes from the earth and food is our connection to the earth. We use our senses (smell, taste, touch, visuals) to interact with food and it connects and becomes a part of all our senses. This process of interacting as well as consuming food is a way of partaking of the earth’s energy.

Second Chakra—Spiritual Energy of Truth

The second chakra is associated with the energy of truth. The core of truth is creativity. The core of creativity is the ability to create. Sex is the core of creation. This means that the spiritual development tool that helps us cultivate truth is through sex. But the caveat to create truth through sex requires the presence of love for that person. Sex alone won’t cultivate the energy of truth unless it is enveloped in love.

Third Chakra—Energy of Time (Past Regression and Future Sensing)

The spiritual energy associated with the third chakra is associated with time. It includes the ability regress to the past or to sense the future. The manner in which we interpret and respond to this spiritual energy is through our emotions and feelings. Being able to tune into your feelings and understand your emotions, as well as control your feelings will be a necessary skill should you decide to develop skills where you work with the energy of time.  

The way to cultivate this spiritual energy within you is done through the use of sound. Some people can cultivate this energy through chanting, or drumming, or through music. Different types of vibrations can be used to help one’s spiritual energetic self not only improve or balance their emotions, but also can be used to help them work in "time".  Regressing to the past, sensing the future, or visiting parallel timelines are activities that can be experienced by you and developed with this chakra energy. 

Fourth Chakra—Energy of Love

The fourth chakra’s spiritual energy is associated with the energy of love, harmony, balance, and change. The energies associated with this chakra are associated with love in all forms: the ability to love yourself, your partner, family, friends, humankind; all life.  The spiritual energies associated with this chakra are about transformation. We call this spiritual gift “ command projection” because it can create change in many forms. The act of healing, for example, is a transformational act and is associated with this chakra energy. 

The tool used to cultivate this chakra energy is color. Using different colors or lights of color can be used to augment any of the chakra. It can also be used to change any of the chakras, too. Using colors of pure light and even different combinations of color can be a very powerful tool to change one’s spiritual energies.  

Fifth Chakra—Energy of Communication

The fifth chakra’s spiritual energy is associated with communication. Communication takes many different forms.This energy is used to communicate with other people, but is also used to interact and communicate with your Higher Self. It is also used to help you communicate with spiritual Beings who may be serving as a Guide for you. In addition, this energy is also used for your inner communication, such as what happens in dreams, promptings, impressions, and meditation.

The spiritual development tool most closely associated with cultivating this energy is the use of rituals. Rituals are a way that uses our mind, body, and spirit in a story, metaphor, or convey a message that is felt as well as experienced.  Rituals are a broad form of communication that engages our entire being, and because of this, it is a tool to help improve the quality of our communication energy of the fifth chakra.

Sixth Chakra—Energy of Knowing

The sixth chakra’s spiritual energy is associated with awareness, gaining insight, and knowing with absolute surety. It is the energy from this chakra that helps us gain awareness and understanding. The process one’s spiritual self uses to gain more awareness and understanding is usually through connecting and interacting with other planes of the Tao. One’s spiritual self typically learns to use the energy of the 6th chakra by learning how to project ones energetic self to the astral plane. After that is master, visiting other layers of the Tao (or beyond) can also be achieved. 

The spiritual development tool most closely associated with cultivating this type of spiritual energy is with meditation. Meditation allows the mind to focus, clarify intent, or even wander.  Knowledge is an acquisition into the mind and uses the energy of knowing.

Seventh Chakra—Energy of Integration

The spiritual energy of the seventh chakra is associated with the integration and connection with the Tao (or Mother Nature, Mother Earth, God, Goddess, All that is).

The spiritual development tool most closely associated with cultivating this spiritual energy are activities associated with movements that bring the physical, mental, and spiritual realms together. It is almost a kind of blending together of the life force energies, the elements, and the soul into a kind of interconnection. This can happen with meditative movements, such as with Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, nature walks, some kinds of swimming, running or other activities where you have a sense of connection between mother nature (or the elements) and your body, mind, and spirit.

The spiritual experience that is created with the seventh chakra energy is the gift of telepathic communication. This type of mind-to-mind communication can occur with another person on the physical plane, or when with nonphysical Beings, such as helpers who come to assist with a healing. It is the communication that is used when you visit other nonphysical places, such as when you begin to meet with your Higher Self, or interact with your Spiritual Guides. Telepathy is the primary mode of communication when you travel to other levels of the Tao. 

Summary 

Each chakra is not only a different color it is a different type of energetic frequency of spiritual energy. Because each is a different type of energy, each chakra also creates a different type of spiritual experience. When you cultivate different chakras, you increase your probability of having spiritual experiences that are associated with that energetic vibration.

An example of how paying attention to your thoughts, feelings is the beginning of everything

The message I keep getting is to let others know about the importance of tuning in and being aware of one's thoughts and feelings. This is the important message for this era in humanity - learning to trust one's own thoughts, feelings, hopes, and desires. This is the beginning step that we all must take to embark upon a life of meaning and purpose. This is the way a person learns how to start thinking and being their own person and taking responsibility and ownership for their life experience.

I then had a compressed series of experiences with a personal dream message, then a meditation, then an Qigong exercise, and finally a message from beyond with a recommendation to share this compressed experience as an example of how paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and knowing your desires, translates into messages, guidance, and answers. This is kind of a typical day for me - I dream, I meditate, I do Qigong exercise, and I get input. Then I do my regular day tasks and live a normal life.

But I was prompted to share this morning's experience as an example of how being tuned into my thoughts, feelings, dreams, and sensations works for me and how this translates to getting answers to questions I've been focused on.

I keep a journal and record significant dreams, questions, thoughts, desires, significant events, new awareness, and guidance I have received. This is today's entry.

My Dream

In my dream I was a passenger in my car; I was in the front seat. I believe my sister (or someone I know who I am close to) was driving and we ended up in what seemed like a tall large cave with a road running through it and a parking lot in this cave. It seemed like other cars were going to hit us and we ended up moving out of the way and backing into a wall in the parking area. We got out, walked around. It seemed this area was a type of tourist attraction that I had never heard of - even though it was close to where I live. 

I followed behind others who were pointing to an area on a jagged rock wall as being remarkable. I looked at it and only saw a bumpy rock. 

I then walked to another feature others were gathered around. It included an area that was up a few steps and then you walked into what looked like a small rock crevice. I walked up the steps, went into the crevice, and saw nothing other than rock, then exited the crevice. I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about.

Then I meandered to another area that had a group of people pointing to areas on a large rock wall as if it were a painting. Again, I didn't see anything but stone. But then I started to see very pale, slight colorings of lines and realized this was a petroglyph of some type, and I started to get excited, since I’m “into petroglyphs”. I had never heard that petroglyphs were near to where I live. I was excited! I then went back to the other areas I had examined and now saw a face image on the bumpy rock. I went back to the crevice and now saw there was an abundance of diverse images and faces in this rock. I knew this was a very important find! The more I stood and observed, the clearer these images became. 

I left, wanting to bring my camera and take photos, but I couldn’t find my camera or phone to take photos. I then woke up, got up, and went downstairs to do my daily morning meditation. I made some green tea and sat in the dark and began to meditate.

My Meditation 

In this meditation, my thoughts began, but were not about my dream, but rather about how I have eyes where I sometimes can see beyond the physical. This usually happens when I give a Qigong medical treatment, for example - where I “see” inside of the patient’s body and the problems that are there. I can also tune in at times and “see'' spiritual beings who come to assist. I also have experiences where I “see” bright light in a dark room - even though there are no lights turned on. In other words, there are times when I am using my physical eyes to look and observe, but see beyond the physical realm and into that nonphysical realm. This doesn’t happen all the time - but it is enough that I know when it is physically real and spiritually real. I’m also aware this also occurs with sounds, or smells, or tastes - my senses are sometimes able to tap beyond the physical and into that nonphysical space and retrieve and report on those sensations.

In this meditation I was now being told that “focusing on improving one’s sensing skills means that you are reaching beyond the physical senses and tapping into the nonphysical, but still using those physical means to report on what you are receiving. This is what it means to expand one’s ability to sense - it’s improving your skills and abilities to interact and receive input from all these other layers of the Tao and send it into your physical self as a means to enhance the message and communication.”

I then ended my meditation and began doing Qigong exercises to accompany the sunrise.

My Qigong Exercise 

When I completed my Qigong exercise, I stayed standing with my eyes closed and arms outstretched to continue to receive Qi and life force energy into my energetic self. In this phase or receiving and welcoming subtle energies into me, my thoughts turned to my dream last night of messages hidden in stone that I eventually was able to perceive and see, and then my early morning meditation about how expanding ones sensing skills uses your senses and then goes beyond the physical realm into the spiritual realm. Now I heard another voice in my mind explaining what happened in my dream and meditation.

“Last night you were exploring the metaphysicalTao and being guided by someone you trust. You stopped to “see” things that are there, in the area you live, but in a different layer beyond the physical realm. The dream showed you that you could tune in and open up to receiving input and the messages embedded in the earth. The dream message was to show the process of not only developing that skill, but how it can be used. 

The meditation that happened after you woke up was a way to guide your mind on how the expansion of sensing skills works - you use your physical senses but you are training them to go beyond the physical realm and tap in and receive the messages and input from other layers within the Tao.

You now have a new awareness.The process of expanding one’s awareness may occur in multiple steps with messages being sent and received in different manners - dreams, thoughts, meditations, etc. When the awareness moment happens, it can come  from the gathering of all those pieces together to provide the full message. 

You now have an awareness that when one is expanding their sensing skill abilities, it begins with that desire, and then thoughts and feelings, and then focusing on those desires, thoughts, and feelings and using your physical senses to help increase your awareness. The input of sensations, thoughts, feelings, images, sounds, etc. may expand beyond the physical realm to provide that fuller picture of meaning. 

It starts out small, but grows and expands like ripples made on a still water lake. Awareness may begin with the rock hitting the still water, but the growth of awareness is like the ripples made from that single moment when the rock hits the water.”

My recent thoughts on 'how to increase and improve my awareness to help me expand my consciousness' have led me to this experience of a dream message, a meditation message, and guidance from beyond.  In this dream, for example, the message was about how my ability to see can expand beyond what I physically see. The awareness of seeing beyond the physical then expands into new areas and then creates new thoughts, impressions, and feelings. Even messages by nonphysical messengers and spiritual guides begin to direct new concepts and ideas into my meditations and other communication methods I am open to receiving. These then create even more new thoughts, feelings, awareness, and impressions within my physical self. The outcome is  an expanding awareness of consciousness, which is what I have desired. The ripple grows. New concepts and ideas emerge.  

Conclusion

Learning to pay attention to your thoughts and feelings is the beginning of becoming more aware. Your thoughts and feelings will help you become aware of your desires and your thoughts and feelings will then start giving you feedback to help guide you towards what your desires are. The process of awareness grows and expands and eventually gets deeper and broader. Others will be drawn in and come forward in new ways to help open doors that can assist in helping you achieve your desires, and more and new thoughts and feelings will become part of your life. Eventually the nonphysical realm from the other layers of the Tao will also be drawn in and start to be part of this movement and flow as well. But it all begins with the first step - being aware of your thoughts and feelings.

Begin with Trusting Your Impressions and Feelings

You are a spiritual being inside a physical body. Your spiritual self (your soul) desired to have certain experiences in that physical body on planet earth. Your spiritual self came into that physical body with a toolkit to help navigate your experience in that physical body. This “spiritual toolkit” is made up of feelings, and impressions. It is your thoughts, feelings, desires, and impressions that are aligned with the life purpose. 

Your physical body is set up to receive input, guidance, validation, and assurances from your energetic, spiritual soulful self through your feelings and impressions. It is your feelings and impressions that are the primary mechanism to guide your choices and decisions. When you improve and expand this ability to sense your feelings, trust your feelings, and act on those feelings and impressions, your ability to navigate your life improves. 

Trusting your feelings and impressions is how you engage with this internal, built-in navigation system.You have to tune into your thoughts, feelings, and impressions to receive this guidance and personal advice. You then learn to trust your feelings and impressions and use them as part of your decision making process. If you ignore your feelings and impressions, or not trust them, you probably are taking someone else's advice over your own feelings. This usually leads to choices and decisions that are not aligned with our life purpose - they are aligned with someone else's needs or ego. But what happens next? Your soul will feel an emptiness or have an awareness that this is wrong or you are not where you need to be. Eventually this unpleasant feeling will grow, and grow, and grow until it is as if there is inner SHOUTING within you pleading to be recognized. If you finally accept and re-engage with these new feelings and act on them, you may be able to get on the track that is aligned with your real life purpose. This can be done at any age because the life lesson we all need to learn is to TRUST OUR FEELINGS AND IMPRESSIONS.  

When you tune into your feelings, trust your feelings, and act on those feelings, you can gain a greater sense of validation and assurance that your feelings and impressions are correctly guiding you. Eventually you may reach a point where you can receive more complex messages and input, including images, or have visions, or even visitations and guidance from spiritual beings. Your life will become aligned directly to your life purpose. 

If you want a more fulfilling life, start trusting your internal navigation system - your feelings and impressions. Notice how your life changes and your satisfaction increases due to having a life that is aligned with (and to) your life purpose.
