WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
'Chakra' means wheel, something circular that rotates, which is how our centers look to those who can perceive them.
The chakras lie along a central line that runs up our spine from the tailbone to the crown of the head. This central conduit for energy is called Sushumna. Entwined around it on the left and right sides of the spine are two other energy lines, the Ida and the Pingala, which carry feminine and masculine energy respectively. Ida and Pingala run from the tailbone to the nostrils, weaving back and forth around Sushumna. Wherever they meet and cross lies a chakra.

WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
Chakras are the subtle energy hubs of our body. The seven major chakras are:
SAHASRARA
AJNA
VISHUDDHi
ANAHATA
MANiPURAKA
SWADiSHTHANA
MULADHARA
Though they have no physical location,
these energy centers are present along
the length of the body.
Chakras roughly correspond to, and influence the activity of, the important glands of the body. The chakras deeply impact our physical and mental health. Chakras are, in turn, affected by our thoughts and emotions. The chakras are direct channels to the boundless energy of the Cosmos.


WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
Immoderate lifestyles, stress and negative emotions can 'lock' the chakras, or cause them to malfunction.
Without even being aware of it, we are continuously blocking off these important sources of energy.
Energy is health.
That's why almost all physical and mental illness can be partly or wholly cured, simply by cleansing and energizing the corresponding chakra.


IS CHAKRAS CLEANSING IMPORTANT?
These chakras were discovered a long time ago during the Vedic age. In fact, in many of the spiritual chants, you will find referen Today science has proved that there is a gland located near each of these chakras that is related to that particular chakra. These seven chakras supply energy to the glands.
These seven major chakras deeply influence our physical, emotional and mental activities.
These chakras have great power.
Chakras are energy centers and if they are kept in a cleansed and energized condition, they can cause us to live an ecstatic and healthy life.
Dis-ease is only an imbalance in any one of these chakras, because our body and mind are rooted in our inner consciousness. Keeping these chakras in a healthy state, we can see a transformation happening in us at the mental and physical levels


A SHORT STORY

A SHORT STORY
After World War I, a biplane was
abandoned near a remote tribal
settlement in Asia. The tribal people
had never seen an aircraft in all their
lives. There was a lot of excitement
and commotion about it and a big
crowd gathered around it. They
wondered what it might be and each
one started giving some suggestion
about it.
They finally concluded that since it
had wheels, it must be a bullock cart!
News spread in the village about the
new bullock cart. There was a lot of
celebration in the village and the
biplane was taken around the
settlement yoked to bullocks, and it
served as a bullock cart.


A SHORT STORY

Some weeks later, a young tribal boy who had returned from the city where he was studying, saw the biplane. He got into it and looked around. He saw all the gears and mechanisms in it. He fiddled with the switches and levers.
Suddenly, the engine came to life!
He managed to taxi the plane on the ground for a short distance and the villagers were shocked at what they saw. The boy had seen tractors being used and declared to the people that the biplane was not a bullock cart but some kind of tractor.



A SHORT STORY
There was great celebration once
again and the biplane started being
used as a tractor!
Six months passed by and a retired
army officer came to the village. He
saw the biplane being used as a tractor
and was shocked! He told the villagers
that it was not a tractor and that the
plane could actually fly. They refused
to believe him because the only things
they had ever seen flying were birds!
The army officer got into the aircraft,
flew it for a short while and landed.
The villagers were
wonderstruck. Then they understood its true potential.


A SHORT STORY
MORAL
Understand: man is a wonderful
mechanism meant to fly. But we
don't know our true potentiality.
We have a very limited view of
ourselves. Most of us operate only as
a bullock cart, at the instinct level,
surrendering to our emotions.
Just like this, there are mechanisms
or gears inside us, called the chakras,
which are boundless energy centers.
Each of them is associated with a
particular emotion within us. If we
understand how to handle the
emotion properly, we can function
as an aircraft.


HOW DO OUR CHAKRAS GET BLOCKED?
Each chakra is connected to a different
endocrine gland in the physical body.
The endocrine glands govern our
hormones and therefore also our
emotions.
Any positive or negative experiences we
have had relating to the emotion of a
specific chakra is stored inside that
chakra.
FOR EXAMPLE, The second chakra, lying between the navel and the pubic bone, governs fear. If we have had a deep fright at some point in our lives, the feeling of it is stored in that chakra. It determines how we react to future situations that remind us of our fear. It may block us from achieving our goals in life by interfering whenever we need courage to face our situations. The existence and location.


HOW DO EMOTONS CONNECT TO CHAKRAS?
It has been proven that when a person is
locked with a particular negative
emotion, the chakra associated with that
emotion shrinks to the size of a coat
button. It becomes that small.
But when the same person experiences
the associated positive emotion, the
chakra expands to the size of a
cartwheel! This is the effect that our
emotions have on these energy centers,
our chakras.
Our energy flow in these chakras is
blocked by our negative emotions and
activated by our positive emotons and
we are totally unaware of it!




ANAHATA CHAKRA

ANAHATA CHAKRA
'Anahata' means 'that which is not created'
So this chakra is something to do
with love, sentiments, associated
with emotions.
This chakra gets locked when you
expect the attention of the others.
If you live for the attention of the
others, this chakra gets locked.
When you start showing the
unselfish love this chakra opens.

WHY DO WE DO
WHAT WE DO?
For instance, if you see what are all the activities you are doing to get the good name from somebody, from others. If you see and note down, you will find your whole twenty four hour is spent in signature campaign.
You have written one big book, “I am a good father you are going and keeping it in front of your son, please sign it”
Almost all our activity will be based on this signature campaign only. We are continuously in signature campaign; we are trying to get as many signatures as possible to prove that I am good, as many good opinions as possible to prove that I am good.. Just, I’m a good father, I’m a good mother, I’m a good son, I’m a good brother, we go to everybody and stand, please just sign it, please just sign it. He is standing with a big book please just you first sign it. So almost all our life if you see, we are signature campaign.

WHY ARE WE CONSTANTLY SEARCHING FOR OTHER'S OPINION?
Why do we bother so much about others' opinions about us? Why can't we judge ourselves by our own strength and continue to do our work? Why are we deriving strength from others?
All this is because of two things:
one, we don't know anything about ourselves. We know ourselves only through others' opinions of us, only through others' certificates. second: when others give us their approval and attention, they are actually giving us energy to move on. Attention IS energy! That is why we feel so boosted when they give us attention.

A SMALL STORY
A lady once went shopping with
her husband because she wanted to
buy a coat for herself. They visited
many shops but she could not find
what she wanted. The husband
became tired.
He asked, 'Dear, do you know the
exact kind of coat you want to
buy?' The wife replied, 'Of course! I
am looking for a drop-dead coat.'
The husband could not understand
what she meant.
He asked, 'What is a drop-dead coat,
dear?' She replied, 'When people
see it, they will drop dead!'

SEARCHING FOR CERTIFICATES
All the time we are looking to see how we can collect certificates from people! Every action of ours is unconsciously related to what people will say to it and how people will react to it.
For example, a bag may come reasonably
within your budget and it may have a
good utility value also.
But unconsciously, your mind will say that people may not appreciate the look of the bag very much. You start choosing again! But you will not agree that you are searching for certificates, because it is an unconscious process in you!


WHAT YOU
DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT
ATTENTION NEED!
Attention need is the first, foremost thought current, thought patterns which gets created in your system All the emotions are centred on “attention need”. First thing, you need to know, your emotions are not you. Your emotions are a result of years of conditioning, that has gone into you. you have been conditioned on multiple levels; Parents, siblings, other family members, teachers, friends.

Whatever we do, whatever we think,
we are subconsciously seeking
concurrence and approval from the
people around us in some subtle way.
We are very keen that we should earn a
good name from everyone. We may
not do this in a very obvious fashion,
but if you analyse deeply, you will not
be at ease without the appreciation and
endorsement of the people around you.
This endorsement, this approval, is what we call 'attention-need'.

HOW TO UNBLOCK YOUR ANAHATA CHAKRA?
when you do with love and affection the
anahata chakra opens. when you do with
love and affection you never feel tired.
When you do it for the sake of love and affection, when you do it selflessly, when you allow it to happen, energy simply flows, you don't feel tired. When you do it expecting the result, opinion, energy gets blocked.

WHAT IS REAL LOVE ?
Real love knows no object. It is
simply there whether there is an
object or not. Real love is the
subject itself. It does not know any
object. You are the subject and you
have become love, that’s all. Any
object that comes in touch with it,
feels it. Just like a river flows
naturally and people enjoy it at the
different places that they encounter
it, real love exudes from a person
and the people around him will be
able to feel it.

LOVE ALL
Real love is something so deep, so energizing, that you will not know it unless you experience it. Love is an expression of energy, not something that is transacted. You can love the trees on the road, you can caress them and feel the energy flow from you.
You can love people whom you pass by on the road without even knowing them. Love is actually your very being, not a distilled quality that you possess. Nothing is as misconstrued as love is today.
Today, love is more of a transaction. If someone says something nice to you, you love him; tomorrow if the same person falls short of it, you don't love him that much or you probably hate him.

THE
BHAGAVAD
GiTA
BEAUTIFULLY
SAYS:
Karmanyevaadhikaaraste maa phaleshu kadaachanah
It means, Your job is only to do the work, not to be concerned about the result. Whatever you do should be an overflowing of the loving energy inside you. Then, you are not bothered about the results. bothered. you don't even know to expect results because you are continuously moving and expressing your blissful inner energy. So we can't even say that you don't expect results. You are just flowing joyfully, that's all! This flowing energy is real love.


IF you do with love and affection you will not feel tired, whenever you don’t feel tired, be very clear you are not working for that signature campaign, you are not doing for others opinion. When you feel tired be very clear you are working with that expectation of result. Through love you can do anything, whatever is the product will be always there, great contribution to the humanity.
