Spirituality: what are the 12 chakras?
Many people are familiar with the 7 chakra system and it's okay if you haven't heard of the 12 chakra system as it is a relatively new idea. To fully understand the energy of your body, you need to know the 12 chakras as they add depth and insight to your understanding of how these chakras work to balance the energies of life. The 12 chakras can be found inside or outside your body.
What is the 12 chakra system?
Being a relatively new system, it has no unified understanding. It is driven by modern perspectives that are expressed by energy workers. The name suggests that there must be 12 chakras, but there are actually 13 chakras in the 12 chakra system. Hence, it can be referred to as 0-12 chakra system.
There are 2 main categories into which the 12 chakra system is divided:
The first category identifies the 5 additional chakras, other than the primary chakras, on the outside of the body. These are located at the end of the spine up to the crown. This includes one chakra below the root and the rest of the 5 above the crown.
The second category includes all 12 chakras that are found within the human body which locates the 5 additional chakras among the 7 primary chakras.
Although there are 2 categories in which the chakras can be seen, the first category is mainly used and indicated as the correct one. However, both can be applied and used to interpret.
The 12 Chakras: connection with the Universe
To get a detailed view of your connection with the universe, the 12 chakra system is used. All living things on Earth are connected to the universe; from atmosphere to space. You can guide the energies from outside your body to use them as healing remedies.
The 12 chakras and their meaning
The 12 chakra system is connected to the energy it conveys from your head, down your spine and into the Earth. This energy channel also connects the sun and the center of the universe with our bodies to resonate the energies of these beings.
This helps maintain a functioning 12 chakra system, which freely transfers and transmits energies from one place to another without any obstruction being caused.
The root chakra
Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra helps you feel familiar in all types of situations. The feeling of home, which is obtained on Earth, is controlled by this chakra; it makes you feel safe.
When this chakra is not active, you feel insecure, nervous and afraid.
If hyperactive, this chakra makes you want to have more security by increasing the possession of things that give you a sense of security.
The sacral chakra
Located in the naval area, the sacral chakra controls the feelings of pleasure and sexuality. When you are active, you can be more intimate with yourself and with others.
Control your passion for sex, abundance, pleasure and learning to let yourself go.
When you are inactive, you feel detached and emotionless. It is very surreal to even feel something like it has no meaning.
When you are too active, you feel hyper and too emotional. You must have met people who get excited very quickly; it is due to the fact that their sacral chakra is hyperactive.
The solar plexus chakra
Being self-confident and in control is associated with the solar plexus chakra. It is the source within you that generates courage and increases your confidence when it runs out.
When not active, you feel undecided about things and making decisions becomes a tedious and endless task for you.
However, when you are too active, you become arrogant and you want to be the dominant person in your group. Your whole personality depends on this chakra and knowing how to control it is a huge plus as far as what people can think of you.
The heart chakra
Love, kindness, affection, and your ability to interact socially with people are controlled by the heart chakras. Located in the center of your body, it controls all your emotions.
When you are open, you work in harmony and your nature is very friendly. Your friends and colleagues find you very compassionate.
However, when it is inactive, the heart closes and does not let anyone in. So, you get the feeling that you are what people call "ruthless". You don't trust anyone and can't successfully lead conversations.
The throat chakra
Your communication skills and methods are all controlled by the throat chakra. As you express yourself in front of others, your writing skills and your artistic expressions are all associated with this chakra.
Introverted people have closed throat chakras. However, people who talk a lot and can express their feelings easily have a functioning throat chakra. You may also have met people who talk and keep talking without listening to others ... these people have an overactive chakra.
The third eye chakra
Located in the center of the forehead, the third eye chakra is the center of the higher mental faculties. Like your intuition, your mind, your psychic abilities and your driving feelings.
When these chakras open, feel, feel and see beyond the norm. Your visualization becomes very creative and unnatural in an unrealistic way.
Your energy beyond your physical energy is controlled by these chakras and helps you make the daily decisions you have the right to make.
Fantasy, hallucinations and connection with the subconscious are all part of the work of the third eye.
The crown chakra
Your spiritual practices which must signify and depth are connected through the crown chakra. Connect your higher self to your higher chakras. Being connected to the spiritual realm and aligning with the purpose for which you were sent to Earth results in a balanced crown chakra.
When you are closed, you feel lost and have no connection with the Divine. You feel like your life has no meaning and you have a hard time trying to connect with angels and God.
However, when you are open, you have a sense of enlightenment and you feel that your connection with the Divine is very strong. You don't feel lost or abandoned.
The soul star chakra
This chakra is called the "Seat of the Soul". This soul star chakra is located outside the body and, when active, is connected to all the other 7 chakras located within the body.
This chakra helps you feel divine love and connect with it. Before divine light falls on you and your physical being, it falls on this chakra. Hence, all the divinity that exists in you comes from the Soul Star Chakra which transmits it within your body. It is the source of divine light that enters your body and forms an important part of your divine beliefs.
You can also access Akashic records with the help of this chakra.
The chakra of the star of the earth
Being the center of the Kundalini forces, this chakra only awakens from spiritual practices. Otherwise, he sleeps almost always. But if you are a regular practitioner, this chakra can always be active.
The gifts and beliefs of your soul allow you to realize the full extent of your abilities. You would not be able to achieve this without activating the Earth Star Chakra. Therefore, you should keep practicing your spiritual beliefs to keep this chakra up and running. Help to let divine light flow through your body and soul.
The universal chakra
Being the gateway to the infinite flow of creation, this chakra provides a path to connect with divine light to align with the physical being of this universe.
A big step in your awakening is managed by this chakra for spiritual evolution.
By connecting to this chakra, you feel less influenced by the energies around you and you get the ability to change and influence the energies around you. So, you can reduce negative energies and fill your environment with positive energies to have high vibrational frequencies. It will make it easier for you to have a subtle mind and connect with the Divine for spiritual guidance.
The galactic chakra
Teleportation, bi-location and traveling beyond the limits of time and space are all associated with the Galactic Chakra. It is called the "Channel of Prophecy".
You can go anywhere and learn to communicate with the higher beings who descend on you. You can learn how to heal and get information about your current existence with the help of beings from the spiritual realm. Having an active Galactic Chakra helps balance your life with the Earth and higher beings in the spiritual realm.
The Chakra of the Divine Door
The direct connection of your inner being with the source of all energies is incomplete if your Divine Gateway Chakra is closed. These chakras provide the highest method of communication that you can have with the Divine.
Opens the door to other worlds to explore.
Activating this chakra allows the blessings of the Divine to flow upon you. This is the moment of divine awakening and it gives you the opportunity to grow spiritually and advance towards spirituality.
12 chakras
Earth, universe and 12 chakras
The core of the 12 chakra system is that all beings in the world are part of the whole. Each is connected to the Earth and the universe through a sort of thin cable that starts from the roots of the Earth and reaches the atmosphere and space. Connect everything together to create ONE WHOLE.
The 12 chakras allow you to access the energies beyond your body and get in touch with a wide range of dimensions for human experiences.
The light that shines on and through you through the higher energies flows from the Soul Star Chakras to your Crown Chakras and then to the primary chakras located within the body. The light then continues to shine until it reaches the center of the Earth. After passing through the center of the Earth, it flows back through the Earth Star Chakra and the Root Chakra to the spinal cord. It then flows towards your Crown Chakra up to your head. From there it will go into the atmosphere and there to the Divine and all the energy connected to it.
A balance between Divinity and Spirituality
Once the whole process is complete, divine light has fully entered your body and soul and you will feel a deep connection with the spiritual realm. You will feel more enlightened and at peace. It is an endless cycle that keeps repeating itself to ensure a balance of divinity and spirituality in your life to guide you to walk the right path.
The 12 chakra system ensures a balance of energy and awakens your spiritual abilities to gain a deeper insight into your capabilities to a greater extent. Once this is achieved, you will be more enlightened and will make use of your skills to make better use of your life. You will make sure that the reason you were sent to Earth is satisfied with the utmost effort needed.
