Using Chakra's in Healing...

[Kaylara]

Ok, I was wondering what kind of techniques you know about for using your chakras in your healing work. Do you use the secondary chakras (in your hands and feet) at all? Why do you move the energy the way you do, and what benefits does it have?

Chakras and Healing

As stated in the definitions of the chakras, they influence all parts of the body. Most ailments have a element of energy flow problems. The stem from the chakra being too active or sluggish or blocked. This upsets the bodies natural equilibrium. The chakra healing is not directs specifically at relieving illness. For true healing the deeper reasons for the illness addressed. The chakra balancing helps to put the body back in balance and establish equilibrium. By looking at the type of disorder/illness that you are experiencing, and studying the areas of influence of the specific chakra that is in control of that area you can understand how to proceed with healing. The concern with deeper causes of ill health always leads to increased self-awareness.

I do use the chakras in my hands to do a massage. This is not the type of massage where you are doing deep tissue massage or applying great pressure. I first balance the chakras in my hands if necessary. Ground and energize myself. I place the left hand on the chakra and my right hand on top of the left. Breathe deeply during this process, and visualize the color associated with the chakra flooding the area.

Ground and energize first. Another method that I use is to hold my right hand slightly above the chakra. I keep my elbow and hand on an even plane. The hand actually begins to rotate on its own. I use this to test the condition of the chakra. First I ask deity to tell me the state of the chakra. The direction of the spin (clockwise or counterclockwise) or lack there of will tell me the condition. If it is out of balance, I ask deity to balance this chakra and the hand will either start moving if it wasn’t, or will slowly begin to spin in a clockwise motion. I know there are differing opinions about the direction of the flow. According to my teacher they all spin the same way.

I guess I could include some thoughts on Chakra healing to this thread. I can ambitiously, attempt to place chakra healing techniques in this thread. I have several meditations and exercise routines for the original classes, but if everyone wants to have a chakra healing methods thread here we can work do that. I will put a poll up here to ascertain the level of interest. If enough interest is shown I will do this.
