Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient India and China, traditionally viewed the body's structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology is halfway between structure and function, identifying certain entities in the human body that represent the flow of life energy and, in a sense, the channels for that flow, that do not correspond to the anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. Chakras are energy centers in a person's biological field and are responsible for their physiological and psychological state as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by the energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as "whirlpools" and in the Indian language are considered as "bursts of energy" or "wheels".
The energy conversion process takes place precisely in these centers. Vital energy, together with blood, circulates the meridians in the chakras and powers all the organs and systems in the human body. When circulation stagnates in these meridians, the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method designed specifically to combat such stagnation is Chi Gun, an ancient Chinese method of self-healing that activates energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release energy by massaging specific areas corresponding to different chakras.
In the Vedic canons, 49 chakras are mentioned, of which seven are basic; 21 are in the second circle and 21 are in the third circle. According to the Vedas, there are several energy channels leading to different places from the chakras. Three of these channels are basic. The first of these, called "Sushumna", is hollow and is concentrated in the spine. The other two energy pathways, 'ida' and 'Pingala', are located on either side of the spine. These two channels are the most active in most people, while the "Sushumna" remains stagnant.
The seven basic chakras spin at high speed in the body of healthy individuals but slow down in times of illness or with advancing age. When the body is in harmonious balance, the chakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy, which leads to various disorders.
The first base chakra, "Muladhara", is located at the base of the spine in the region of the tailbone. This chakra stores life energy, which is the core of a strong and healthy immune system. A person can't get sick, grow old, or even die before exhausting their stores of this vital energy. The will to live is controlled by Muladhara. It is also in charge of bones and joints, teeth, nails, urogenital system, and large intestine. The first symptoms of a malfunctioning Muladhara are unreasonable fear, fainting, lack of security or faith in the future, leg and foot problems, and bowel disorders.
The interrupted activity of the Muladhara chakra causes, among other things, a lack of energy, digestive problems, bone and spine diseases, and nervous tension.
The second chakra, "Svadhistana", is located at the level of the sacrum, three or four fingers below the navel. This chakra regulates the pelvis, kidneys, and functions. We also feel other people's emotions through this chakra. Symptoms of poor functioning of "Svadhistana" are kidney problems, cystitis, and arthritis.
The third chakra, "Manipura", is located in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for storing and distributing the energy produced by digestion and respiration. It is responsible for vision, gastrointestinal system, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and nervous system. The symptoms of stagnant "Manipura" are as follows: increased and constant worries, as well as stomach, liver, and nervous disorders.
The fourth chakra, "Anáhata", also called the heart chakra, is located in the chest area. Through this chakra, we create and receive love. It is in charge of the heart, lungs, bronchi, hands, and arms. Symptoms of stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalance.
The fifth chakra, "Vishudha", is located at the level of the throat and is the center of analytical powers and logic. This chakra maintains the skin, and the organs of hearing, along with the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include lack of emotional stability, discomfort in the cervical spine, swelling of the throat, difficulty communicating, and esophageal and thyroid disease.
The sixth chakra, "adj", is located between the eyebrows and is called the "third eye". Here is the throne for the human brain. "Adjna" circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person's "third eye" stops working properly, we can experience a decrease in intellectual abilities, headaches and migraines, earaches, olfactory disorders, and psychological disorders.
The seventh chakra, "Sahasrara", is located at the very top of the head and represents the peak where an individual's energy vibrates at its highest frequency. It is considered a spiritual center and an entrance into the body for cosmic energy. A stagnant 'Sahasrara' can result in a decline or lack of inner wisdom, as well as a lack of basic intuition.
With this basic knowledge about the first seven chakras, we can answer the question: "How can we use this information to locate the causes of our troubles and problems and, with the help of Eastern medicine, learn to control the functions of the chakras ourselves?" ?”.
From the perspective of Eastern medicine, our health depends on the distribution of our energy consciousness information field. Lack of energy inevitably causes disease. According to Tibetan medicine, the only difference between youth and old age and between a sick and a healthy individual is the difference in the speed of rotation of the swirling energy centers of the chakras. If these different speeds balance out, the old will get younger and the sick will get well. Therefore, the best way to preserve and maintain our health, youth, and vitality is to restore and maintain a balanced movement of the energy centers.
The easiest way to keep the chakras in balance is through a set of physical exercises. Yannis called it not just exercises, but rituals. These rituals allow the human body to shape its energy centers to an ideal level of function. The seven rituals, one for each chakra, must be performed together every morning and, if not possible, in the evening. Skipping rituals unbalanced distribution of energy, so for best results should not be skipped more than one day a week. Daily chakra rituals are necessary not only for revitalizing the body but also for achieving success in every area of life. “Once you learn to transform your energy, you will also be happier,” Yannis concluded.
For learning these rituals (which have changed the lives of many people around the world).
