- Healing with Hands


As most of you are awarethere are Energy Vortexes in our bodies which regulate our state ofhealth.
These are known as the energy Chakras. The principle charkasare seven in number and are given
the colours of the rainbow orVIBGYOR. I will try to give a few details of the seven primary
charkasindividually in this post. Their various names have been listed below Iwill be referring to
them with their English names for the simple factthat I am writing in English.

1. Sahasrara or Crown Chakra


2. Gyan or Ajana or Third Eye or Brow Chakra
3. Vishudha or Throat Chakra
4. Anahata or Heart Chakra
5. Manipura or Nabhi or Solar Plexus Chakra
6. Swadhisthana or Hara or Sacral Chakra
7. Mooldhara or Root Chakra
Crown Chakra
Itis symbolized by a flower of thousand petals. The colour assigned to itis Violet. This is where life
force comes into us. We stay connected tothe life force from here. If developed, it gives the power
ofvoluntarily leaving our bodies. Its from here that the Reiki Masteropens the Reiki Channel and lets
Reiki flow into your body till itreaches the root chakra.
Third Eye Chakra
Itis said to have two petals only. The colour is Indigo and has nothingto do with Tata Motors. It helps
develop logical thinking and theability to see beyond the obvious. If developed it gives us the
powerof clairvoyance and intuition. It helps us empathize with others.Associated with supreme
consciousness, pituitary gland and controllingbody functions.
Throat Chakra

ThisChakra has sixteen petals. It is assigned a deep Blue colour. Itdevelops creativity, quality of
speech, truthfulness, etc. Along withthe Heart Chakra it plays an important role in our ability to
connectto the outside cosmos and move above our basic survival, food and powerneeds. These two
chakras help us seek divine help, enabling us toconnect to the source of all things, which is why
when we pray ourhands are always folded and raised at the level of these two chakras.
Heart Chakra
Saidto have twelve petals this chakra is supposed to be Green in colour. Itgenerates feelings of love,
caring and nurturing. From this chakraupwards our higher self becomes visible. We become less
obsessed withmaterial things and start thinking of the world, others, ourinterconnectedness, etc.
Solar Plexus Chakra
Tenpetals are assigned to this chakra, as is the colour Yellow. Itprovides you the feelings of
assertiveness or submissiveness. Theexertion of power and authority over others is controlled by
thischakra.
Sacral Chakra
The number ofpetals is six and the colour of the chakra is said to be Orange. It isassociated with
sexual energy, sensuality and sensitivity.
Root Chakra
Ithas four petals and is symbolized by the colour RED. It provides thebasic will to live, fear, survival
instinct, etc. It is also associatedwith the excretory functions of the body.
