Your Internal Energetic System - Chakras
Just as your body has a nervous system, a lymphatic system, a digestive system, and a circulatory system, it also has an energetic system.
ELEMENT 7.2: YOUR INTERNAL ENERGETIC SYSTEM
“The chakras are very intelligent. They are like the software of the whole computer body.”
–Sri Dharma Mittra
YOUR CHAKRAS
Your aura is closely related to another element of your energetic system: your chakras. In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “wheel” or “vortex,” and in diagrams of the seven chakras, you’ll see that each chakra looks like a ball of energy hovering over different parts of the spine, from the base of the spine up to the crown of the head.
The chakras represent different aspects of our consciousness, but they are also closely associated with the physical body. Each chakra corresponds not only to specific emotions and mindsets, but also to different parts of the endocrine and nervous system. However, the chakras are not part of the physical body; instead, they are aspects of our consciousness, similar to the way the subtle bodies of our aura are aspects of our consciousness.
YOUR DISRUPTIONS
When we refer to chakras being “open,” we mean that they are functioning optimally and allowing energy to flow freely throughout the body. However, when chakras are “closed” or “over-active,” they throw off the balance of energy throughout the body and cause discomfort and disease.
Thus, we can usually connect any physical maladies we may be experiencing to disruptions in our chakras—which in turn come from disruptions in our consciousness. In other words, our consciousness connects not just to our brain but to every part of our self and every cell in our body. Through your consciousness, you can communicate with and heal the different parts of your body.
Below, you’ll learn more about the seven chakras and how they affect your endocrine glands.
| Endocrine gland | Secretion | Governing |
| Adrenals | Epinephrine | Survival |
| Ovaries/testicles | Oestrogen/testosterone | Sexual development |
| Pancreas | Insulin | Metabolism |
| Thymus | Lymphocytes | Digestion |
| Thyroid | Thyroxine | Immunity |
| Pituitary | Somatotrophin | Growth |
| Pineal | Melatonin | Body rhythm |
