From seeker to spiritual adept

[Sacred Fool]

What are exactly the chakras or energy centers in lay terms? I sometimes fail to understand how they fit directly into life as lived. So it would be good to start by defining them in detail, but in simple terms.

How about some simple terms absent the detail?


In work-a-day terms you could think of your chakras as your indicators of engagement with Creation in this incarnation. You might think of them in terms of resistance to experience versus a more smooth flowing way of traveling through space/time.

If you're inwardly engaging by way of conflict and resistance in the areas represented (will to live, etc., etc.), then you'll be experiencing the blockages or over-chargedness as manifested struggles in your outward life (a/k/a catalyst).

If you're flowing with the stream of things, then your experience, your engagement, will be deepening in a more balanced sort of way.

So, you can check your life to get a sense of your chakra doings or check your energy centers to get a sense of how you're experiencing your incarnation. Either way, some would recommend that, when as you might be working with such things, you try to list towards balance and smooth flow.


After this it gets a mite technical.

Hope this helps a tiny bit.
