The Chakras are energy vortices of the energy body that comprise part of the energy system. When perfectly open and balanced, one is lead to the experience of a harmonious reality, connection to the Oneness in everything, and ultimately to union with the Divine Consciousness.
Anahata and Emotional Issues
As we have seen, this chakra is associated with issues of the heart. All romantic love is motivated by our constant search for union with the source of love. The highest form of romantic love is given to us when we can give to others unconditionally. If we can learn to respect and understand another person’s feelings, then we will also feel at peace within ourselves.
Sexual Problems
Doubts and Imbalances
If we are thwarted in love, and cannot make meaningful relationships with others or do not have friendships that last, we may begin to doubt ourselves. We may ask “What is wrong with me? Why aren’t I popular and loved like other people?”. We may also question our ability to relate to others, and start to attract a dark cloud of doubt and confusion into our auric field.
Such feeling may grow until they are a real imbalance, preventing us appreciating others - or ourselves. If we don’t deal with these types of feelings, we will begin to hold in our emotional pain. Then our whole chakra system starts to close in on itself and is no longer able to ‘feed’ the physical body effectively. There is no input of love - and no output of love; the ability to love is dying in our physical body. Therefore we need to begin to love and live.
Brightening Up the Aura and the Chakras
If we, as individuals, can take the following steps, we will begin walking a path of increased awareness of our aura and our chakras, and will nourish our mental health and many other parts of ourselves, too. This is sometimes called the Path of Beauty.
- Take medical advice if you are suffering from great mental anguish.
- Begin a path of understanding about which types of therapy or counselling could help you. When we put out a message to the universe, then if it is part of the greater plan for creation, it must respond - that is the nature of universal love. We will always draw to ourselves the help we need.
- Start to practise some techniques that will increase your energy levels and self-esteem. Many great teachers have said “... if you cannot love yourself, you cannot love others”.
