Chakra Balancing & Haromization:

There are 7 energy centers called Chakras; and they parallel the spine. Each chakra has certain qualities and associations. The chakras play important roles for health, realization and spiritual development. Each chakra is generated by a nerve center and interacts with one or a group of hormone glands near its location those determine its operating point. And the seventh which is beyond the physical region. Balancing a state in which both sides are equal: harmony or proportion: Make, come, or be in a state of equilibrium: Theories on chakras fit within systems that link the human body and mind into a single unit, sometimes called the 'bodymind'

* Chakras are interpreted as pools of swirling energy residing within the body: Each chakra can be blocked by emotions or thoughts which causes stagnant energy throughout the body. If the Avatar opens all seven chakras, by doing actions to cancel out its blocked emotion,

* Charka: The English word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit cakra meaning "wheel" or "circle". More generally, the term refers to circular objects or formations, and Apte provides 23 different definitions for cakram used as a noun. Examples include "discus" (a type of divine weapon, particularly associated with the god Vishnu), a potter's wheel, a form of military array, etc.

* There is a wide literature on chakra models: philosophy, and lore that underpin many philosophical systems and spiritual energy practices, religious observance, and personal discipline. Theories on chakras fit within systems that link the human body and mind into a single unit, sometimes called the 'bodymind' (Sanskrit: namarupa). The philosophical theories and models of chakras as centers of energy were first codified in Ancient India.

* Charka a centre of energy: located in the subtle body where the subtle nerve channels converge like the spokes of a wheel.  A Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "circle"; usually refers to the centers or points of spiritual power that resides in or compose the human astral/subtle body. A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column.

* There are six of these wheels: Stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. It is the six major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness. Chakras in the head from lowest to highest are: talu/talana/lalana, ajna, manas, soma, brahmarandra, sri (inside sahasrara,) sahasrara. Chakra are commonly described, as above, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy of the human body.

* There are 7 energy centers called Chakras: and they parallel the spine. Each chakra has certain qualities and associations. The chakras play important roles for health, realization and spiritual development. Each chakra is generated by a nerve center and interacts with one or a group of hormone glands near its location those determine its operating point. And the seventh which is beyond the physical region.

* The following primary chakras are commonly described:

1. Muladhara (Sanskrit: lower body.

2. Swadhisthana (Sanskrit: reproductive parts.

3. Manipura (Sanskrit: navel.

4. Anahata (Sanskrit: heart.

5. Vishuddha (Sanskrit: throat.

6. Ajna (Sanskrit: eyebrow or forehead.

7. Sahasrara (Sanskrit: top of head.

* The concept of Chakra are often treated in different ways: Depending on the cultural context. In Chinese medicine, traditional chakra locations correspond to acupuncture points. In some Eastern thought, chakras are considered to be gradations of consciousness and reflect states of the soul-these systems rely less on proof than on experience (under the assumption that 'proving' the existence of chakras is asking to 'prove' the existence of the thought process). A mystic may deal with chakra as a model for their internal and external experience, and when talking about 'energy centers', may be talking about subtle forces which connect to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.

* Bhattacharyya's review of Tantric history: Says that the word chakra is used to mean several different things in the Sanskrit sources:

1. "Circle", used in a variety of senses, symbolizing endless rotation of shakti.

2. A circle of people. In rituals there are different cakra-sdhan in which adherents assemble and perform rites. According to the Niruttaratantra, chakras in the sense of assemblies are of 5 types.

3. The term chakra also is used to denote yantras or mystic diagrams,

4. Different "nerve plexi within the body".

* In Buddhist literature the Sanskrit term cakra (Pali cakka): Is used in a different sense of "circle", referring to a Buddhist conception of the 4 circles or states of existence in which gods or men may find themselves.

* Chakrology: Is a neologism sometimes employed by Alternative Medicine practitioners or esoteric philosophers for the study of chakras. There are many different chakrologies, some of them based on ancient Indian Hindu Tantric esoteric traditions, New Age interpretations, or Western occult analyses, as well as ancient Greek and Christian references. There are numerous traditional and modern models of the chakra system of the human subtle energetic body. As the system is subtle, these differences may co-exist and be perceived as foregrounding and backgrounding different qualities or attributes for specific reasons or purposes rather than perceived as vying for ascendancy. That said, the bodymind is a system, refer systems theory and no chakra is supreme. Chakra work in dialogue and in relationship to each other. This dialogic model is how Ayurvedic Medicine view the energetic interplay of the Chakra. This dialogic model of the Chakra is directly comparable to the human endocrine system and how different glands chemically signal and communicate to each other.

* In Hinduism: The concept of chakras is part of a complex of ideas related to esoteric anatomy. These ideas occur most often in the class of texts that are called ?gamas or Tantras. This is a large body of scripture, most of which is rejected by orthodox Brahmins. There are many variations on these concepts in the Sanskrit source texts. In earlier texts there are various systems of chakras and nadis, with varying connections between them. Various traditional sources list chakras. Over time, one system of 6 or 7 chakras along the body's axis became the dominant model, adopted by most schools of yoga. This particular system may have originated in about the 11th century AD, and rapidly became widely popular. It is in this model where Kundalini is said to "rise" upward, piercing the various centers until reaching the crown of the head, resulting in union with the Divine.

* The chakras are described in the tantric texts the Sat-Cakra-Nirupana: and the Padaka-Pancaka, in which they are described as emanations of consciousness from Brahman, an energy emanating from the spiritual which gradually turns concrete, creating these distinct levels of chakras, and which eventually finds its rest in the Muladhara chakra. They are therefore part of an emanationist theory, like that of the kabbalah in the west, lataif-e-sitta in Sufism or neo-platonism. The energy that was unleashed in creation, called the Kundalini, lies coiled and sleeping at the base of the spine. It is the purpose of the tantric or kundalini forms of yoga to arouse this energy, and cause it to rise back up through the increasingly subtler chakras, until union with God is achieved in the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head.

* According to contemporary buddhist teacher Tarthang Tulku:The heart chakra is very important for the feeling of existential fullfilment. A result of energetic imbalance between chakras is an almost continuous feeling of dissatisfaction. When the heart chakra is agitated, people lose touch with feelings and sensations, and that breeds the sense of dissatisfaction. That leads to looking outside for fullfilment. When people live in their heads, feelings are secondary, they are interpretations of mental images that are fed back to the individual. When awareness is focused on memories of past experiences and mental verbalizations, the energy flow to the head chakra increases and the energy flow to the heart chakra lessens. Without nurturing feelings of the heart a subtle form of anxiety arises which results in the self reaching out for experience. When the throat chakra settles and energy is distributed evenly between the head and the heart chakras, one is able to truly contact one's senses and touch real feelings. Chögyal Namkai Norbu Rinpoche teaches a version of the Six Lokas sadhana which works with the chakra system. The kye-rim (Tibetan) and dzog-rim (Tibetan) stages work with the 'chakra' (Tibetan: khorlo).

* Chakras, as pranic centers of the body: According to the Himalayan Bönpo tradition, influence the quality of experience, because movement of prana can not be separated from experience. Each of six major chakras are linked to experiential qualities of one of the six realms of existence. A modern teacher, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche uses a computer analogy: main chakras are like hard drives. Each hard drive has many files. One of the files is always open in each of the chakras, no matter how "closed" that particular chakra may be. What is displayed by the file shapes experience. The tsa lung practices such as those embodied in Trul Khor lineages open channels so lung (Lung is a Tibetan term cognate with prana or qi) may move without obstruction. Yoga opens chakras and evokes positive qualities associated with a particular chakra. In the hard drive analogy, the screen is cleared and a file is called up that contains positive, supportive qualities. A seed syllable (Sanskrit bija) is used both as a password that evokes the positive quality and the armor that sustains the quality. Tantric practice eventually transforms all experience into bliss. The practice liberates from negative conditioning and leads to control over perception and cognition. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche teaches a version of the Six Lokas sadhana which works with the chakra system.

* Loka: A word in Sanskrit, in Hinduism and Hindu mythology, means world, dimension, plane, abode, and/or place or plane of existence. Six Lokas refers to a Bönpo and Nyingmapa spiritual practice or discipline that works with chakras and the six loka that is dimensions or planes as well as the six classes of sentient beings in the Bhavachakra. Various traditions of the sadhana also include mindstream elements. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and Chögyal Namkai Norbu Rinpoche have published literature and teach versions of the sadhana or practice. For both of these versions the six lokas are cognate with the principal six chakra system of Vajrayana. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche states that: Traditionally the Six Lokas practice has been explained in terms of the purification of beings in other realms of existence, but Western practitioners may find it more useful to experience each of the lokas within themselves. Emotions are far more familiar and have a greater impact than the descriptions of realms outside the experience of most Westerners. At various times in life through your emotions you manifest the attributes of beings in each of the six realms and experience the same suffering that they feel.

* Traditional Chinese medicine: Also relies on a similar model of the human body as an energy system, except that it involves the circulation of qi energy. In the circuit of qi, called the Microcosmic orbit, energy also comes back down the front torso channel (equivalent to the nadis of Hatha yoga), and enters the tan tiens: when it returns to the heart (and cycles down and reascends to the head) further meditation/contemplation or union with deity develops. In Macrocosmic orbit the qi is also guided through the main channels in the limbs.
