CHAKRAS
Chakra: In Yoga, the
seven occult centres of life and consciousness in the spine and brain,
which enliven the physical and astral bodies of man.

What
are CHAKRAS?
These
centres are referred to as chakras ("wheels") because
the concentrated energy in each one is like a hub from which radiate rays
of life-giving light and energy. In ascending order, these chakras
are muladhara (the coccygeal, at the base of the spine); svadhisthana
(the sacral, two inches above muladhara); manipura (the lumber, opposite
the navel); anahata (the dorsal, opposite the heart); vishuddha (the cervical,
at the base of the neck); ajna (traditionally located between the eyebrows;
in actuality, directly connected by polarity with the medulla) and sahasrara
(in the uppermost part of the cerebrum).
The seven chakras are
divinely planned exits or "trap doors" through which the soul
has descended into the body and through which must reascend by a process
of meditation. By seven successive steps, the soul escapes into Cosmic
Consciousness. In its conscious upward passage through the seven opened
or "awakened" cerebrospinal centres, the soul travels the highway
to the Infinite, the true path by which the soul must retrace its course
to reunite with God.
Yoga treatises generally consider
only the six lower centres as chakras, with sahasrara referred
to separately as a seventh centre. All seven centres, however, are often
referred to as lotuses, whose petals open, or turn upward, in spiritual
awakening as the life and consciousness travel up the spine.
