Chakra System
Chakra System
Tantra teaches that the same potent energies that govern the cosmos exist within the human body. The energy body, though not anatomically discernible, runs parallel, on an etheric level, to the physical body.
The energy circuits, or meridians (like in acupuncture), are called nadis. Three nadis are particularly imporant: the Sushumna, the central energy channel located within the spinal column, the Ida, the nadi of the lunar force located on the left of the spine, and the Pingala, the nadi of the solar force located on the right of the spine. Both the Ida and the Pingala intertwine around the Sushumna.
Each of the seven main energy centers, called chakras, is represented as a sacred lotus flower. The number of petals on the flower denotes the frequency at which each psychic energy wheel whirls around. On every petal is inscribed a letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, which creates a specific cosmic vibration or sound, known as a mantra.
Kundalini is the raw energy of Shakti. The unawakened Kundalini is represented by a serpent coiled three and a half times at the base of the spine. This dormant force must be awakened if the Tantric yogi is to achieve enlightenment.
As consciousness is raised through meditation, Kundalini yoga, or Tantric sexual union, the Kundalini Shakti ascends through the Sushumna, unlocking the cosmic energies within each lotus center until she reaches her absolute fulfillment in the crown chakra. Only when the Tantric yogi has raised his or her consciousness to this level can true spiritual enlightenment be achieved.
Each chakra has both a male and a female deity associated with it. These sub-deities represent certain aspects of the two principle deities in Tantra -- Lord Shiva and his consort, Shakti. However, Tantric meditational deities should not be confused with what different mythologies and religions might mean when they speak of gods and goddesses.
In Tantra, the deities represent the essential qualities of the fully awakened experience latent within us. To use the language of psychology, the deities are archetypes of our own deepest nature, our most profound level of consciousness. In Tantra, we focus our attention upon such an archetypal image and identify with it in order to arouse the deepest, most profound aspects of our being and bring them into our present reality. Therefore, although not absolutely necessary, initially it is often helpful when one is meditating on a particular chakra to meditate on its corresponding deities.
The process of transcending from form to the formless is like learning the initially abstract letters of the alphabet. We learn "A" by associating it with a concrete thing such as an apple. Then, after we learn the alphabet, the apple for "A", ball for "B", and cat for "C" disappear. We can then make words and communicate by combining the letters of the alphabet into words, sentences, and paragraphs. Just as the alphabet is helpful in learning a language, the divinities of the chakras are helpful in spiritualization of the cognitive, conative, and affective aspects of consciousness. Then, just as the letters disappear, the divinities with form also vanish when the formless divinity is reached.

Crown Chakra
Crown Chakra
This chakra is related to thought and the creation of our worldview. Its orientation is toward self-knowlege and the understanding of our universal identity. The Crown chakra represents pure, undifferentiated cosmic energy. The desire to experience the Divine, however you define this, is the dominant drive here.
At this level, we are not satisfied knowing about the spiritual life, we want to merge with the Divine and have all of our actions guided by this union. When you have awakened to this level, all of life is seen as a spiritual experience. You see the Divine smiling back at you from all of reality.
To reach and sustain this level of consciousness, however, requires that all the previous chakras be likewise balanced and integrated.

"Vissudha," "Throat chakra," "Mercury chakra": Throat
![](http://www.asian-massive-crew.com/religion/hinduism/throat.jpg)
The throat chakra is related to communication and creativity. The core need is to find your authentic voice and speak your own personal truth. Writing, painting, dancing, music, thinking and countless other forms of creative expression becomes available to us.
Communication is essential to create successful relationships. Without open, honest expression of our wants, desires and needs, relationships soon become stale, falter and fail. When we communicate authentically, masks come down and we meet each other outside our facades.
With authentic communication and empathetic listening, we learn how to hear beyond the tone or volume of the voice our partner uses that may seem harsh, to reach the underlying pain, and listen with love and understanding.

"Anahata," "Heart chakra," "Venus chakra": Heart
"Anahata," "Heart chakra," "Venus chakra": Heart
With the three chakras both above and below it, the heart chakra is the central matrix. It is related to love, and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy heart chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, and have a profound sense of peace and centeredness.
Most of us are excellent givers, and as such can give love very easily. For many, it's difficult to learn how to receive love as well as give.
Some may feel that they aren't worthy of such an incredibly beautiful gift as love, and must learn to love themselves before they can begin to recognize the love that is coming their way. When we open to love, we realize the more we love the more we can love.

"Manipura," "Power chakra": Solar plexus
[COLOR=Purple] "Manipura," "Power chakra": Solar plexus
The belly is the area of our energy center. It rules our personal power, will and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, the third chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and nondominating power. The belly is also the feeling center, the place where many of our emotions and passions originate.
When something happens in our lives that creates emotions, these emotions seem to "grow" out of our guts and spread out through our bodies and psyches to whatever path is appropriate for their expression.
Emotions are energy in motion and once created they will attempt to release themselves unless restricted by conflicting beliefs and mechanisms. Unexpressed emotions, such as anger, when repressed may stick in your "gut" and the tension may become stuck, creating a chakra block.

"Svadhisthana," "Sex chakra," "Jupiter Chakra": Sex organs
[COLOR=Magenta]"Svadhisthana," "Sex chakra," "Jupiter Chakra": Sex organs
The sex chakra connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally, it brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change.
It is the seat of your creative energy. The sex chakra needs, in many of us, more recognition, acceptance, attention, love and, in some, healing to receive and enhance the flow of life force from the spiritual crown chakra, through the visionary third eye chakra, the expressive throat chakra, the empowering belly chakra down to the secure base chakra.
Ecstasy is yours when you coordinate, integrate and synergize your sex chakra and other chakras. The sex chakra is possibly the most important chakra because it is the gateway to our physical incarnation.

"Muladhara," "Base Chakra," "Saturn Chakra": Perineum
"Muladhara," "Base Chakra," "Saturn Chakra": Perineum
People who have difficulty expressing themselves in a creative, spontaneous and flexible fashion or who have trouble allowing their feelings to flow freely in a non-compulsive, unobstructed fashion may feel tension in this chakra. The base chakra deals with the desire to own and possess.
This chakra usually stores trauma when a person feels belittled or helpless. If a person is tense and tight in the anus, she or he is over-concerned with material and survival needs and may experience difficulty giving and receiving in an unrestrained fashion.
They may try to hoard and possess everything they come in contact with. If that area is flexible and vital, that person is usually open, giving and free-flowing in the world.
