How do our chakras effect our daily lives?
In the forth release from our new book "Gateways of Light" we consider the third transition called "The Transfiguration" - a powerful and heavenly liberation. It can perhaps best be understood as the dramatic shift in the internal balance of consciousness from identification with the bodymind to identification with the soul. The transmutation takes place within our chakras. So how does this occur and how can we facilitate the necessary rise of vibration?...

The soul enters the body at birth and connects with the bodymind through the chakras and meridian energy system. Ideally it would be experienced as a heavenly infusion of energy but we're living in a dense and often unforgiving world. Previously we will have experienced unconditional love, but practically from our very first breath we begin to discover that love here is not always so unconditional.

So begins our descent into the denseness, distortion and judgmentalism often prevalent in our world. We are rewarded for being "good" and chastised for being "bad". These judgments frequently come with loaded energy and as the growing infant we may take on the blame for other people's tightness, anger or frustration. Correspondingly we build conditioned behaviour patterns in response to the outer world's opinions and actions in relation to us.

We may for example feel victimised and retreat inwards or alternatively overtly rebel against what we may perceive as controlling energy. These conditioned behaviours generate fixed neural pathways in the brain - closed program loops. It's kind of like a river flowing down a mountain but creating eddy currents in which debris gets stuck. Just like the river, the soul itself fragments and dissipates throughout eddy currents within our bodily system; we get lost in our thoughts, emotions and beliefs.

The key to changing this balance and unblocking the eddy currents so that the river of life may flow freely through us again rests in the chakras. If we can change their vibration by recognising what is going on in our lives (in our relationships for example) then we can release the blockages and elevate our vibration. We can reconnect the lost fragments of soul until its presence in our lives outweighs the previous distorted dominance of the personality.

It is then that the closed loops of behaviour begin to dissolve and we begin to experience ourselves once more as the eternal "Seer" of all things expressed freely and joyfully as the soul through the bodymind. The key to this transition is to recognise which chakras are blocked and why; then to unblock them during the course of our daily interactions within society. Meditation or various chakra therapies will help because they tend to activate those repetitive patterns of behaviour 'shining a light on them' such that we can see them more clearly. Ultimately though, it is by confronting and dealing with the behaviour as it happens that we can release the old patterning; we experience a continual choice - either give in to the old patterns or express a higher truth instead.

So it helps us greatly to know exactly how the vibration in the chakras effects our behaviour in order that we may shift the balance from personality led actions to soul led ones.
