 However, I have also found that working within these modalities gives support to aspects of oneself (to elements, chakras, and directions) and that can always be helpful.
CHINESE FIVE ELEMENTS
Most of what I know about Five Element Theory was taught to me by Eliot Cowan. I'm grateful to Eliot for his deep knowledge of the five elements and his commitment to the plant spirits. Also Jason Elias, who is a fine acupuncturist, has helped me to understand the five elements in a comprehensive way. |

 The Hindu scheme has seven major chakras. The first chakra is located at the base of the spine and is responsible for storing basic biological energy. The second chakra is located near the genitals and fuels procre-ative functions. The third is near the sternum, supports organ health, and serves as a location for storage of strong emotion. The fourth chakra surrounds the heart, powers the heart and lungs, and serves as a storehouse of emotions relating to love, relationships, and human virtue. The fifth charka is in the throat, powers the thyroid, and is associated with personal expression. |

| I advised Richard to scan his body, checking all his chakras for cords connecting him to his former wife. He did this but found even more cords that were connected to his past work situation. He successfully cut the cords and I called on Calendula to help heal the wounds left from this. Very shortly after this everything changed in his life. His relationship shifted with his former wife, but more importantly, the relations with his past work situation totally resolved to the point that money was actually going to come his way. |
| Likewise, it is helpful in three chakras, the first or root, the second or Hara, and the fourth or heart. Working in concert, Trillium grounds one in a sexuality that is tempered and given substance by the heart. This particular Trillium is dark blood red and, as the color may indicate, is useful to arrest excessive blood flow from all parts of the body.
Cynthia, one of my students, experiences Trillium in a very intimate way. She says, "When I first met Trillium it was like a recognition. |
| Here we can experience our connection to "All That Is," allowing this creator energy, through involution, to bring vital life force to all our chakras. Integrity and wisdom are qualities associated with the crown chakra. Integrity brings us into a sense of wholeness where we are no longer separated from our truth—we can be completely honest. Wisdom is more than an accumulation of knowledge; it is the ability to integrate inherent knowing into a meaningful context. Through the seventh chakra the organizing principle is a recognizable force that brings order. |
| I then checked her chakras and found that the second chakra, the Hara, and the fourth chakra, the Heart, were blocked. (Often these two are blocked at the same time.) I called on Calendula to help clear the second chakra. Julia's homework for this session was to wear orange as much as possible, to allow herself to have sexual fantasies, and to set an intention for a loving relationship with her husband that included intimacy that wasn't necessarily all sexual. I also gave her Calendula cream to rub on her lower belly. |

 Kundalini and tantra yoga focus on activating the energy centers in the body called chakras. The chakras are seven cores of energy in the body. This type of yoga involves exploring the core of the body rather than the limbs—moving to the center and seeing the body as rivers of energy.
• Raja yoga concentrates more on meditation and less on strength and is good for the beginner.
• Sevananda yoga is a holistic approach. There are five basic principles that unite the body, mind (intellect), spirit, and heart. |

 Some used contemplative healing or visualizations; others worked with tones and planned to sing or ring bells on behalf of the patient, the purpose of which, they claimed, was to reattune their chakras, or energy centers. A few worked with crystals. One healer, who'd been trained as a Lakota Sioux shaman, intended to use the Native American pipe ceremony. Drumming and chanting would enable him to go into a trance during which he would contact spirits on the patient's behalf. They also enlisted a Qigong master from China, who said that he would be sending harmonizing qi energy to the patients. |

 If you know about chakras, this might be on example where my second point is the field of the second chakra, which is often associated with emotions. Happy times—the energy we are creating between us feels great!
2A: Two-Point Sequence
I am holding her head just to control the response. You can see very big physical responses with the Two-Point. She might have tension between her shoulders, or perhaps an upset stomach. Whatever two points you choose to notice will work just fine. You do not have to touch the "problem" orea in order for it to change. Your mind can link up with that. |

| By looking at the colors of plants, we can observe associations the plant may have with the many aspects of a particular chakra, being aware that different cultures may view the chakras differently. We will explore the chakra system in depth in chapter 11. These color associations are guidelines and are not written in stone; they are only one way of looking at the colors. You may also want to look at color correspondences with other systems such as the Five Element cycle or directions of the Medicine Wheel.
The root chakra is at the base of the spine and is red in color. |

 From this brief description of the significance of the chakras, it is clear that the emotions and the physical body are considered to be linked inextricably in the science of yoga.
Yogic Conduct
Yogic philosophy includes a code of moral conduct, which is to aid in the spiritual path and help the yogi to be healthy and peaceful. Yogic rules of conduct require a person to avoid the following: injuring, lying, stealing, attachment to sensual desires, attachment to grievances, immersion in inertia, attachment to self interests, attachment to consumption, and gluttony. |

 The conscience and virtue we develop from the awakening of the other chakras need Love as the energy to reach their full quality and power. It is with the awakening of this fourth chakra that we begin to experience ourselves and God as Love. Many people feel the Divine Self of all creation is centered in the heart. As the awareness of the heart chakra matured, this one regularly saw and experienced a blue flame of consciousness within his own heart. This occurred both during meditation and in everyday activities. The opening of the heart is very special. |
| This is why it is so important that the awakened and merged awareness of the right life of the first three chakras be stabilized and integrated as the foundation of creating holiness in daily life. Without this foundation it is difficult to hold the energy of superconscious experiences or to stabilize them in a mature spiritual awareness.
The awakening and spiritualizing power of Kundalini often brings many spiritual experiences. |

 In fact, they cover chakras one, two, three, four and five. And the fifth chakra, or the throat chakra, is constricted and tightened with a shirt, a tight collar and a tie. No wonder a lot of business people can't say what they really want to say.
Business suits cover up the heart, as if to say, "I'm an individual with intellect but no heart." And in fact, if you look out around the business community, you see that paradigm played out over and over again. It's all about making money, crunching numbers and doing the finances, but rarely about heart. |

| We begin to develop a quality of sensitive perception of our inner and outer lives, to balance the raw forces of the first and second chakras and become interactors rather than reactors.
In the process of a full awakening, the solar plexus (third) chakra becomes harmonically linked with the heart (fourth) chakra. This linkage allows the information input of the solar plexus chakra to be interpreted through the Love of the heart chakra. The awakening leads to the fusion of the balanced emotion and power of the third chakra with the universal Love of the heart, or fourth, chakra. |
| When the third chakra is harmonized with the heart, the awareness of the upper chakras manifests more easily as spirituality in everyday life. Another aspect of this awakening is the transmutation of the primordial desire/will power of the third chakra into attunement with the Will of God. It manifests as the awareness that whatever God does is for the best. It allows us to change the self-service of the first chakra to selfless service. It is another step in developing a trust in God. |

| Certain gemstones are used for healing specific organs by contact with the body's related energy centers, called chakras. Certain stones also direct energies toward emotional states. Quartz crystals are probably the most popular. Quartz can be a beautiful white, such as milk quartz, or colorless and shiny like rock crystal. The rock crystal's therapeutic properties are aimed at soothing resentment and envy. It is also used to calm weak kidneys, cardiac pain, and upset stomachs.
In some cases, the healing properties of gems are used to stimulate energy flow to certain areas of the body. |

| Cousens's model of Subtle Organizing Energy Fields (SOEFs), for organizing energies as they manifest in more dense forms, helps to explain the many seemingly exclusive phenomena: nutrition, breatharianism, resurrection, longevity, chakras, consciousness, and biological transmutation. We are presented with a unified theory, not only of nutrition but also of existence. He describes an energy continuum with a spectrum of laws that apply within the specific frequency range of our material plane. |

 Halpern believes that the chakras vibrate at specific frequencies that relate to the notes on a music scale. When there are disruptions to the chakras caused by stress, disease or other factors, the frequencies are thrown off. By applying specific sounds or musicto the body, the chakras can be returned to normal, and the body will heal itself, he says.

| All of the chakras are thought to be externalized as endocrine glands.
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine. It governs understanding of the physical dimension. It represents the human's most primitive responses. The fight or flight response and, therefore, the adrenal glands, as well as the kidneys and the spinal column, are governed by the root chakra.
The second chakra, located at the center of the pelvis, is associated with the sexual and reproductive functions of the body. It governs the ovaries and testes. |

 Each of these chakras can teach a form of awareness: body awareness;
* gender;
» social identity;
» consider ourselves lovers of the divine, people who love nature and mankind; the arts and creativity;
* androgyny, resolving sexual dualities as well as being the center for meditation; and what reality is and what the underlying substratum is on which we superimpose our simplifying projections. At this last chakra can be found divine consciousness.

 You can use the chakras in the palms of your hands like lenses to focus this healing light in concentrated form onto areas of the body in need of healing and cleansing. Have the mental attitude that this light originates from a higher source.
Generally, hold your hands eight to 12 inches from the body and point the palms towards the organ to be healed. If you feel warmth or tingling in your palms, this means that there is an obstruction in the person's body; continue beaming until these disappear, ten to 20 minutes, but with growing experience go longer. |
| The corresponding chakras in the different bodies are interconnected. The more we spiritually develop, the greater becomes the exchange of energy between the different bodies, with the energy generally flowing from the finer to the denser bodies. Excellent books on energy healing, energy bodies, and the chakra systems are Hands of Light and Light Emerging, by Barbara Ann Brennan.
You can experiment with two complementary methods of increasing your energy reservoir. In one, imagine energy entering through the crown chakra; in the other, imagine you retain the prana inhaled with the air. |
| Focus for a moment on the inside of the elbows, then go to the middle of the palms and feel another pair of minor chakras there. Let some of the energy flow out the tips of the fingers and then move up the outside of the arms to reconnect with the microcosmic orbit where you left it.
When you can readily feel the circulating energy and the various centers on its path, you can sometimes use a short form to energize and center yourself quickly. Imagine the energy entering the top of the head and rapidly jumping down from one center to the next to the base of the spine. |
| Therefore we need to concentrate mainly on developing the four higher chakras.
Various shapes such as pyramids and cones have been shown to concentrate bioenergy or prana. Some healers have patients sit inside small-scale pyramids with good results. I have experimented clinically with Reichian orgone accumulators, small pyramids, and cones.
Bioenergy can be generated not only by certain shapes, such as pyramids and cones, and materials such as crystals and precious metals, but also by metals and nonmetals arranged in alternating layers. |
| It may be in the form of an energy rushing upward from the lower chakras. Is it activating your arm or leg muscles, so you want to hit or kick? Intensify any body feeling. Hit the table or a wall with the padded side of the fist; kick a cushion or the air. How does it feel now?
If you are frustrated, where in your body do you feel it, apart from your head? Ask the same with other feelings, such as fear, anxiety, worry, jealousy, hatred, longing, compassion, love, devotion. With tender feelings, focus your attention on the heart. Do you feel a stirring there, something moving? |
| Finally, with some practice, we may be able to fuse our awareness of all of these chakras and remain centered within this integrated feeling awareness.
When we are centered, we are not only mentally and emotionally poised and balanced, but at the same time alert and intuitive. In this way, we can remain in touch with our spiritual guidance continuously during our waking activities. When we are active while being centered, both sides of our brain work in a balanced way and this is reflected in the balance of our whole personality. |
