The Soul, as previously mentioned, is your own personal cove in the ocean of the Spirit. One’s own Soul has a structure in the “form” of a system of energy centers that provide one with both power and healing. These energy centers give structure to one’s inner world. Called “chakras” these spinning transformers of energy enable one to become more refined and less animalistic. They enable one’s personal power to become more transcendent, consummate, total, and exquisite. They are not physical objects, but vortexes of energy associated with various parts of the garage of the Soul—the body. They affect our moods and are affected by moods.

Chakras form a bridge between the body’s energy field—our spiritual aspect—and the body’s physical parts. They are the key way your body makes physiological responses to your thoughts.

Just as your circulatory system, respiratory system, and digestive system are primary components of your physical body, so too are the chakras one of the key systems of your energy body. This energetic portion of your being is the part that transmits and records your thoughts and interactions.

Chakras cause one’s biology to be determined by one’s biography. They are the links between one’s good and bad experiences of events and one’s physical body. In this way, the psychosomatic (mind/body) energy regulated by the chakras is the bridge between one’s experience and one’s body, between the visible and the sacred, between the microcosm and the macrocosm, and between sexuality and spirituality.

Here is a simple explanation of what the chakras do, from certified Reiki specialist and hypnotherapist Inessa Zeleski:

“Generally speaking . . . the three lower chakras (the root, belly and solar plexus chakras) correlate to basic primary needs - those of survival, procreation and will - and have a larger physiological component to their functioning. The four higher chakras are more related to our psychological makeup: the heart, throat and third eye chakras are more advanced and more mature, defining love, communication and knowledge; the crown chakra is purely spiritual, providing the connection to the universe beyond” (Zeleski).

When one arouses all the chakras through practices described in the Heartwood Path for Couples course, spirituality takes on a whole new meaning and importance in one’s life. The particular brand of spirituality described in the Heartwood Path—Creation-based and largely in the Christian mysticism tradition—is, primarily, a way of passion that leads to compassion.

HumaNatureConnect Activity

Getting To Know Your Chakras With The Help Of A Candle

For this activity, find a comfortable and private place to sit upright on the ground. Clear a space for your lighted candle and place it on the ground in front of you. As you experience each of your chakras healing will occur because when the chakras are experienced the awareness sends energy to the chakras which, in turn, stimulate the important endocrine gland associated with each chakra, thus bringing forth increased flow of nutrients needed for the various functions of the body (as described subsequently). Look at the light and imagine a light growing inside of you, between your legs at the base of your spine.
