Basic chakra understanding made easy
________________________________________
Each chakra is associated with particular organs, glands and nerve plexuses.
Each chakra is also associated with certain states of conciousness.
The 7 chakras function in union, as do the the organs, glands, nerves and other systems of our bodies.
Just like in your physical body; the chakras may be weak, strong, balanced or imbalanced.
Just as a massage can soothe an aching muscle, or a right nutrient can stimulate a gland, so also can a chakra be stimulated.
Why bother? Bringing chakras in balance?
Because they are a part of our energy system.
When the human energy system is working in balance, then the body & mind are in balance also.
The function of the chakras affects every aspect of who we are and how we experience life.
______________________________________________________
The human body has a spinal system.. the main spinal cord running straight up the middle thru the spine.. and intertwined with it are two ganglionic nerve chains.
This was represented also in the physicians staff.
The main stem (the staff ), with two snakes intertwining upwards (the nerve chains)
and a pair of wings on top representing the 3rd eye; the eye of wisdom.(all starting at the bottom, ascending to the top to be released upward as the tips of the wings point up into the higher conciousness..
So also is our spiritual energy system connected in the same ways as the physical bodys' electrical nerve system.
The main energy line (likened to the main spinal cord .. runs up the middle
and is called the sushumna
It is along the sushumna that the chakras lie.
Intertwining the sushumna are the ida (running up the left central side)
and the pingala (running up the right).
These are like the ganglionic nerve chains.. they crisscross at each chakra.
The ida is connected at the end of it to the left nostril and is lunar in nature.
The pingala is connected to the right nostril and is solar in nature.
All these channels in unison with each other convey energy to each chakra.. just as much as the ganglionic and main spinal cord deliver electrical energy to the physical body.
The sushumna is the core channel of all energetic flow within the human body,
just as the spinal cord is the core channel fot electrical energy in the body.

- The Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Chakras by Neph
15 y
4,451
(gathered from various sources, from Argüelles in particular on the ninth & tenth)
In some methods (particularly Antero Alli's Angel Tech), the 8th chakra is cast as octaval to the first's function as, at the base of the CNS, the sense of existence, but where the first survival function is the awareness of a singular organism, the 8th chakra is awareness aware that it is everywhere-always, and that this sense can be mediated to the smaller organismal parts of mind as anywhere-anywhen-ness. Typically in diagrams the eighth chakra is portrayed directly up on the pineal-crown line four inches to a few feet above the head; however, this chakra goes anywhere direct it, sort of like a wizard's eye. If you initialize it on its own you can take it for a fly, but if you harmonize it with your other chakras you can take any of those parts of your being wherever you like.
The eighth chakra is somewhat common to find information about (probably half of chakra listings mention it), but one seldom hears about the other two chakras beyond the ones mentioned so far. These two aren't within the bounds organism's epidermis either. One of the chakras (I call it chakra zero for its position below the first on the column) exists approximately six thousand, three hundred and sixty feet below your feet: it is our Earth's core. Many methods that use the chakra system also emphasize grounding - with the Earth's core as a chakra one grounds with the ease of resting one's feet together. Teleologically this is the 9th chakra, because once one realizes one can move awareness beyond the five senses to extend the light-body, it's a reasonable leap to include the earth in your body as the second octave begins.
The 10th chakra is the bound following the leap that the earth is part of Our body: it represents our connection to the collective mind, unconscious or not (aka the noosphere). This one is between the inner and outer Van Allen radiation belts (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_Radiation_Belt
), which reflect electromagnetic activity taking place on the earth's surface as well as incoming information from the Sun and other planets, and constituents of even larger systems that influence life on this planet. Become, between these belts, an eagle soaring high and seeing far and encompassing many perspectives.
Some may dispute that these are not chakras, because they are not within what we have been trained to consider our bodies. You don't have to include them in your chakra ontology if you would prefer to keep your awareness within your individuality, but even if you don't call them chakras, these represent three useful links to have in doing energy work of all kinds. Ethereal exploration is loads of fun and mobile awareness has boundless usefulness, grounding is a very useful practice, and access to the collective mind is what we need to wisen as a species.
