 Introduction

The word ‘chakra’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘disk‘.

The chakras are seen psychically as spinning wheels of light and
color. They are swirling junctions of life force energy.

Chakras are energy vortexes located throughout our body which

regulate the flow of energy through our energy system. The
chakras receive life force energy, integrate it and transmit it
throughout the body. They form the connecting channel between
mind and body, spirit and matter and past and future.

The seven major chakras are located along the spine in our Etheric
Body which is not visible to the ordinary eye. The Etheric Body, or
Subtle Body, is the nonphysical body which overlays our physical
body.
Unbalanced chakras can cause imbalances in the physical body.
This disharmonious energy causes an insufficient flow of energy,
which causes dis-ease in the physical body.

Our emotions, our ability to connect with others and our physical
health are reflected in the condition of each chakra. Our thoughts,
emotions and actions can either block or activate the chakras. The
functioning of the chakras mirror how we choose to respond to
conditions in our life. We open and close our chakras when we
decide what to think and what to feel.
 Root Chakra

The Root Chakra is located at the perineum between the anus and
the sex organs. The color of this chakra is red. The parts of the
body affected by this chakra are the lymph system, skeleton system
(teeth and bones), the prostate gland in men, the sacral plexus, the
bladder and elimination system, and the lower extremities (legs -
feet, ankles , etc.). Also the nose, since it is the organ of the sense
of smell, and associated with survival. The endocrine gland
associated with this chakra is the adrenal glands.

This chakra represents security, survival, trust, the relationship

with money, home, job. The ability to be grounded, to be present in
the here and now. The ability to allow one's self to be nourished, in
the sense of allowing one's Inner Being to be satisfied. This chakra
also reflects a person's connection with their mother, and with
Mother Earth. How the person feels about being on the earth and
their connection with the physical body.

The Root Chakra channels the earth's energy up to our higher

chakra centers and helps to ground us on the physical plane. The
more we ground ourselves the greater chance we have of making
our dreams real and developing into the people we would like to
become. When we lose our connection to the earth, we cut
ourselves off from the healing source of Mother Earth. We
disconnect ourselves from our ability to lovingly care for and
nourish ourselves as well as to provide the physical comforts we
need. When we become disconnected, we become one of life's
victims.

The dysfunctional archetype of the Root Chakra is the Victim. The

victim feels helpless, stuck in a state of fear, with no sense of
empowerment. Being a victim is paralyzing on the psyche and the
body. In order to survive both emotionally and physically, it is
essential to ground these feelings and to reconnect with the earth.
Many people may not realize that they carry traces of the victim
mentality within their personality, but it may emerge during times
of stress or crisis. If they were to stop and experience the feelings
they have about life they may be surprised at the depths of the
anger, fear, resentment, and frustration they carry inside them.

The healthy archetype of the Root Chakra is the Mother. The

Mother represents our ability to nourish and look after the life
force within us with care, sensitivity, and vigilance. Integrating this
archetype is essential to our development, because she teaches us
how to take care of ourselves and to respect our needs. She helps
us integrate the feminine aspects of our personality so that we can
develop our capacity to love - love ourselves, love all people, love
life. As we develop the Mother within ourselves, we stop
projecting our needs onto the world around us so that we are able
to look after ourselves.

Grounding is essential for balancing the Root Chakra. One way to

do this is to imagine roots coming out of your Root Chakra and the
soles of your feet going deep into the earth. Imagine yourself being
securely attached to Mother Earth, absorbing her loving energy
through these roots.
There are many ways to balance our chakras. Many people use
crystals such as Ruby, Bloodstone, Smoky Quartz, Hematite, Black
Tourmaline, Obsidian, and Garnet. The stones can be carried in a
pocket, placed in the area of the Root Chakra or at the bottom of
the feet, or made into an essence.

Imagine your Root Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a

beautiful, clear red. If you see any other color, remove it and
imagine the chakra being filled with red energy. Once you are able
to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it spinning
in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you fill it with
red energy.
 Sacral Chakra

The Sacral Chakra, also known as the Sexual Chakra is located 2"
below the navel. The color of this Chakra is orange. The parts of
the body affected by this Chakra are the reproductive system, the
sexual organs, and the lumbar plexus. The gland affected by this
Chakra is the Gonads.

This Chakra relates to our sense of taste and appetite. This applies
to the physical levels as well as the more spiritual sense of loving
and enjoying life. Our well-being, our sense of sexuality and our
permission to give ourselves prosperity and abundance are all
focused in this chakra. From this chakra we are able to create - a
life as well as other manifestations. This Chakra is associated with
the emotional body and our willingness to feel our emotions.

Illnesses associated with this Chakra are Kidney weakness,

constipation, muscle cramps, lack of energy, allergies, and loss of
weight. Excessive energy in this Chakra make people emotionally
explosive, overly ambitious, manipulative, caught up in illusions,
overindulgent, and they see people as sex objects.

The negative archetype of the Sacral Chakra is the Martyr. The

Martyr does take a greater degree of responsibility for itself than
the Victim of the Root Chakra, but it is not strong enough in its
sense of self to be empowered or vitalized. The martyr lets its
energy dissipate by always seeking approval and helping others.
The martyr's life is full of suffering. Whatever the situation, the
Martyr is unable to liberate its heavily negative attitudes toward
life and create the joy and happiness it so desperately desires.
This archetype feels helpless to change its situation. It does not feel
entitled to personal happiness and can suffer for years, unable to
change its life patterns. The Martyr relinquishes its claim to
happiness in order to maintain peace, stability and balance for
others. This can be at the detriment of its own mental and
emotional health and physical well-being. Usually the Martyr feels
it is doing the right thing for children, spouse or parents by living
an incomplete and unfulfilled life, and suffering at the expense of
its own creativity and personal well-being. There is also a deep
sense of guilt as the Martyr believes it deserves the suffering.

The healthy archetype of the Sacral Chakra is the Empress/

Emperor. The Empress/Emperor represents both worldly power and
earthly pleasure. It is the archetype of people who love feeling well
and who thoroughly enjoy life. It is comfortable with abundance,
prosperity and success. It has a strong sense of life and a gusto for
pleasure and fun. People who identify with this archetype have the
attitude that there is always enough and that they will always be
provided for.

Crystals to balance the Sacral Chakra are Carnelian, Coral and

Amber. These stones can be carried in a pocket, placed in the area
of the Sacral Chakra or made into an essence.

Imagine your Sacral Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a

beautiful, clear orange. If you see any other color, remove it and
imagine the chakra being filled with orange energy. Once you are
able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it
spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you
fill it with orange energy.
 Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located below the breast bone. The
color of this chakra is yellow. The parts of the body affected by this
chakra are the muscles, skin, the large intestine, the stomach, the
liver, the pancreas and other organs and glands in the region of the
solar plexus. This is the chakra those of us with Fibromyalgia need
to work on.

This chakra relates to our sense of sight and impaired vision. This
chakra is concerned with our sense of power, control, freedom and
mental activity.

Illnesses associated with this chakra are digestive difficulties, gas,

food allergies, liver problems, diabetes, gall stones, muscle cramps
and spasm, depression, and difficulty breathing. Excessive energy
in this chakra causes people to be judgmental, workaholic, a
perfectionist, overly intellectual, and emotionally cold. Deficient
energy in this chakra causes people to be depressed, have a lack of
confidence, worry about what others think, confused, have poor
digestion, be afraid of being alone, jealous and mistrustful.

The negative archetype of the Solar Plexus Chakra is the Servant.

The Servant archetype undervalues itself and does not honor its
basic worth. The Servant is not as dysfunctional or disempowered
as the Victim or the Martyr, but it represents someone who does a
job well but who is neglected and receives little acknowledgement
for what it does. The servant does not have a sense that it deserves
better than what it receives in its life. As the Servant is ignored it
finds itself lingering in the background. The Servant does not have
enough of a sense of its esteem and worth to acknowledge itself
and so is dependant on others to give it what it cannot give to
itself. This archetype relinquishes its personal power and emotional
needs in order to win acknowledgement and approval.

The healthy archetype of the Solar Plexus Chakra is the Warrior.

This archetype lets us all the be hero or heroine in our own lives.
We take control, harness our willpower and live from an
empowered position in our work, relationships and in the world
around us. The more we can give ourselves permission to feel good
in the power of our own energy, the more personal power we
accumulate in our lives. Our ability to stand up for ourselves is
associated with this archetype.

Crystals to balance the Solar Plexus Chakra are Citrine, Gold

Topaz, Amber, Tigers Eye, and Gold Calcite. These stones can be
carried in a pocket, placed in the area of the Solar Plexus Chakra or
made into an essence.

Imagine your Solar Plexus Chakra. The color of this chakra should
be a beautiful, clear yellow. If you see any other color, remove it
and imagine the chakra being filled with yellow energy. Once you
are able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it
spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you
fill it with yellow energy.
 Heart Chakra

The Heart Chakra is located in the center of the chest. The color of
this chakra is emerald green. The parts of the body affected by this
chakra are the heart, the blood and circulatory system, the cardiac
plexus, the lungs, the entire chest area, the immune system, thymus
gland and lymph glands.

This chakra relates to our sense of touch. Hugging is a Heart

Chakra activity. Sensitivity about being touched indicates heart
chakra sensitivity. Perceptions of love are related to this Chakra.
Difficulty with breathing and problems with the lungs indicates
tension in the Heart Chakra. A person's relationship with air
reflects their relationship with love. When our hearts are open, we
are at peace with ourselves and with those around us.

Illnesses associated with this chakra are heart pain, heart attack,
high blood pressure, fatigue, difficulty breathing, tension,
insomnia, anger, paranoia, and cancer.

The negative archetype of the Heart Chakra is the Actor/Actress.

This archetype refers to those who play at love but who are not
sufficiently aware and hide their darker feelings under the hidden
agendas of power and dominance. The Actor/Actress is incapable
of real intimacy because it resists feeling its fears and negativity to
loving and being loved by another. It goes through life acting as if
everything is fine, escaping its inner emotional reality and
managing to avoid the experience of intimacy. It doesn't expose its
own vulnerability and feels safe only at a distance from those it
professes to love. Love, for this archetype, is a mental exercise
rather than a function of the heart. When anyone becomes too close
to its vulnerable core, it closes down and sabotages its
relationships.

The healthy archetype of the Heart Chakra is the Lover. The Lover
first and foremost loves themselves. Without knowing who we are
and understanding and accepting ourselves, we cannot fathom the
power of love. As we choose love, we also choose life. As we
affirm ourselves, love eases its way into every fiber of our being.
This archetype loves people, animals, plants and all of life.

Crystals to balance the Heart Chakra are Emerald, Green and Pink
Tourmaline, Malachite, Green Jade, Green Aventurine, Rose
Quartz and Peridot. These stones can be carried in a pocket, placed
in the area of the Heart Chakra or made into an essence.

Imagine your Heart Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a

beautiful, clear emerald green. If you see any other color, remove it
and imagine the chakra being filled with yellow energy. Once you
are able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it
spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you
fill it with emerald green energy.
 Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is located at the base of the throat. The color of
this chakra is sky blue. The parts of the body affected by this
chakra are the throat and neck, the arms and hands, the brachial or
cervical plexus, the Thyroid Gland, the Parathyroid Gland, mouth
and teeth.

This chakra relates to our sense of hearing. It channels mental

energy to our minds and hearts to give voice to our feelings,
thoughts and experiences. This is the center for self-expression,
creativity and will power. The Throat Chakra is strengthened and
enhanced each time we express ourselves in truth and with
integrity.

Illnesses associated with this chakra are communication and/or

speech
problems, thyroid and immune system problems. Other problems
associated with the Throat Chakra are knowledge used unwisely,
ignorance, and lack of discernment.

The negative archetype of the Throat Chakra is the Silent Child.

This archetype holds onto its feelings and does not reveal its hurt,
pain or anger openly. The Silent Child stays closed in order not to
reveal its intense pain and sorrow, or its abuse. It learns to feel safe
in silence or jokingly hiding its true feelings. This archetype may
dampen its feelings with drugs, tobacco, alcohol or food. The
Silent Child will have to struggle to make itself heard and to feel
that what it says counts.

The healthy archetype of the Throat Chakra is the Communicator.

This archetype includes anyone whose job or personal well-being
is dependant on clear and direct communication, including artists,
musicians, and dancers. It takes responsibility for what is says and
how it says it. It speaks both its mind and its heart.

Crystals to balance the Throat Chakra are Turquoise, Chrysocolla,

Blue Topaz, and Aquamarine. These stones can be carried in a
pocket, placed in the area of the Throat Chakra or made into an
essence.

Imagine your Throat Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a

beautiful, clear sky blue. If you see any other color, remove it and
imagine the chakra being filled with sky blue energy. Once you are
able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it
spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you
fill it with sky blue energy.
 Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is located in the middle of the forehead

between the eyes. The color of this chakra is indigo. The parts of
the body affected by this chakra are the forehead and temples and
the pituitary gland, pineal gland, brain, eyes, ears and nose.

This chakra relates to extra sensory perception, clairvoyance,

clairaudience, clairsentience, etc. It is associated with the deep
inner level of Being we call the Spirit. It is the place where our true
motivations are found, and is the level of consciousness that directs
our actions and, in fact, our lives.

Illnesses associated with this chakra are confusion, mental illness,

bad eyesight, lack of clarity, and psychic exhaustion.

The negative archetype of the Third Eye Chakra is the Intellectual.

This archetype tries to master the forces of chaos by living from
the dictates and constrictions of the left brain only and it seldom
engages with its feelings, particularly those surrounding fear and
insecurity. Its mind is dry and has a static quality to it which limits
its happiness and restricts its capacity for joy. While it controls its
world, it avoids having to listen to its inner voice which may be
saying that it is time to relax, enjoy the day, or smell the roses. The
Intellectual is also highly opinionated and has many ideas based on
information from secondary sources rather than trusting what
comes from its direct experience. It does not trust its own intuition
to provide a valuable source of information to guide it through
life's challenges or uncertainties. The Intellectual is often full of
tension from worrying or thinking too much.

The healthy archetype of the Third Eye Chakra is the Intuitive.

This archetype is able to access its deepest knowing which we call
our intuition. It has become wise. It can make choices for itself and
help others to find their inner wisdom. This highly developed
archetype has the gift of inner sight, known as clairvoyance, and
trusts its inner knowing to provide guidance and answers to life's
perplexities.

Crystals to balance the Throat Chakra are Lapis Lazuli, Azurite,

Sodalite, Quartz Crystal, Iolite and Sapphire. These stones can be
carried in a pocket, placed in the area of the Third Eye Chakra or
made into an essence.

Imagine your Third Eye Chakra. The color of this chakra should be
a beautiful, clear indigo which is a mixture of blue and red. If you
see any other color, remove it and imagine the chakra being filled
with indigo energy. Once you are able to imagine the proper color
filling this chakra, imagine it spinning in a clockwise direction.
Spin it faster and faster as you fill it with sky blue energy.
 Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra is located on top of the head. The color of this
chakra is violet. The parts of the body affected by this chakra are
the brain, nervous system, the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland.

This chakra represents that part of our consciousness concerned

with perceptions of unity or separation. This chakra shows our
relationship with Spirit. It represents our connection with our
biological father, which becomes the model for our relationship
with authority, and ultimately with Spirit. It is the level of the soul.
When one experiences a sense of separation from their father, they
close the crown chakra, and experience a sense of isolation and
aloneness, as if they are in a shell, and having difficulty with
feeling contact with those around them. Thought processes tend to
justify and maintain the sense of aloneness.

The function of the Crown Chakra is to open us to the light of

Spirit which is externally connected to the Source. This chakra
channels the energy of that part of ourselves, often called the
Higher Self, and embraces us within its healing and protective
light, When we are open to receiving the love and wisdom from
our Higher Self we are filled with the energy of the Divine, guiding
and inspiring us in all we do.
Illnesses associated with this chakra are stress, worry, hysteria,
right-left brain balance, headache, and depression.

The negative archetype of the Crown Chakra is the Egotist. When

this chakra is closed, we experience an archetype which, because
of the high degree of conscious development and success it has in
the world, is often resistant to developing its spiritual development.
It can be described as proud, arrogant and full of its own self
importance. The Egotist is rooted in the belief that only it is
responsible for its personal achievements in life.

The Egotist stubbornly refuses any interest in spirituality or even

acknowledging the presence of a guiding and protecting presence
in its life. It is convinced that everything is within its control. Its
arrogance prevents it from being humble or for asking for help
from others when it needs support or cannot find true peace with
itself.

The healthy archetype of the Crown Chakra is the Guru. This

archetype is the highest level of responsibility, vitality and
empowerment. As we move into the Guru archetype, the realm of
possibilities expands to the infinite and we tap into the joy and
bliss of our spirit. Here, we are one with the Source, we are whole
and complete.

This archetype knows that it is the Source of all its experience and
accepts conscious responsibility for every aspect of its life. It turns
what has been unacceptable into acceptable, what has been dark
into light and what has been hidden into what can be loved and
embraced.

Crystals to balance the Crown Chakra are Amethyst, Diamond,

Sugilite, Purple Fluorite, and Clear Quartz Crystal. These stones
can be carried in a pocket, placed in the area of the Crown Chakra
or made into an essence.

Imagine your Crown Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a

beautiful, clear violet. If you see any other color, remove it and
imagine the chakra being filled with violet energy. Once you are
able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it
spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you
fill it with violet energy.
