What is the Chakra system?

That’s a pretty good question and I’m glad you asked.
I can only share my experience and what feels true to me in this moment. This does not mean my thoughts are wrong or right, it is purely what I believe to be. As I journey into the depths of who I think I am, I have found that “truth” is merely our perception of any given subject. One can quote and read all the research in the world from the top people in any given field, but if my experience is different than the research, then I will always trust in my innate wisdom.
One of my guiding principles is Pono, which states that effectiveness is the measurement of TRUTH. So with that in mind, I will share what the Chakra system is to me.
I believe, through my experience, that we are much more than the physical body we see in the mirror. We have many bodies on much more subtle levels – the emotional body, the mental body, and the spiritual body. I believe the P.E.M.S. bodies are only the beginning but they are the only realities I can recall experiencing.
For me the body is only a biofeedback mechanism to bring our awareness to what is going on in our consciousness and our unconsciousness.
Here’s an example of how the Chakra system – the state of our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies filtering into our physical reality through the Chakras – might manifest.
Think of autoimmune diseases.
Could these diseases be the body bringing our awareness to parts of our ego that are full of self-hatred? Could it be the body turning against itself to bring our awareness to this self-hatred in the hope that we will hear its message and heal the roots within our consciousness to bring about true health, wellness and human evolution? Hmmmmmm… I say it is a possibility. I also say I could be quite delusional, either way I find it interesting.
Here is another way to understand the Chakra system from Paul Chek’s PPS Success program.
The Chakra system can be thought of as a satellite TV dish on your house that receives your emotional, mental, and spiritual states. The dish (Chakras) interprets this subtle energy and projects it into a descrambler (your glandular and plexus systems). These systems then funnel the energy into your TV (what you see and experience). What you see and experience is recorded by your DVD player (the organ system) and this process goes on for most of our lives. It continues until we each realize that we hold the channel changer in our hand, and can choose to watch any channel available. With this knowledge we can change our reality and heal ourselves through our perceptions.
The Chakra system is yet another tool that you can use to explore yourself and your clients.
In my experience, we can get lost in the mathematical/logical brain quite quickly and discount possibility and exploration. If you feel this coming up in you, I invite you to ask yourself, “Why am I so afraid of this idea? What part of me is afraid of letting go of control? What does it mean/represent to me to be someone who explores the Chakra system and how does that threaten my other ‘ideas’?”
My last question for you is this.
Do you want to continue to watch the same channel for the rest of your life unconsciously or do you want to consciously create your reality through your perceptions?
The choice is truly yours.
