Chakras, Elements, and Emotions
An experiential study of the chakras, elements and emotions offers great
gifts to support our human experience and our spiritual journey. The
inter-relationship and the movement of change and evolution of the dominant
or deficient energies and their movement toward balance within us support a
conscious, healthful and joyous life.
CHAKRAS
Yogic systems teach us about the energies of the spinning spiralling
vortexes of charkas and how they affect the physical nerve plexus and our
human evolutionary experience. They are drawn as wheels with petals but are
multi-dimensional in their range of movement and influence. Four chakras
flow up the stem of the spine to the throat and then rise to the brow where
spiritual practitioners focus the third eye of attention, meditation and
prayer that opens the crown chakra into soul connection.
PICTURE OF THE CHAKRA STEM
Chakra Emotions
Sacrum Root Chakra fear, clinging, resistance OR security, instinct
Pelvic Water Chakra attachment, desire, lust OR curiosity, caring, service
Solar Plexus Fire Chakra anger, resentment, jealousy OR humour, laughter,
joy
Heart Air Chakra greed, rush, selfishness OR love, compassion, kindness
Throat Ether Chakra grief, hunger, ego OR longing to merge with the divine
At times in life we are drawn strongly and passionately into a particular
chakra to learn life lessons. If there is a dominant chakra that influences
our life experience we can choose to diffuse the dominant one and develop
the ones that are deficient. A water dominant person could have difficulty
becoming angry; a fire dominant person with caring feeling; an earth
dominant person with taking risks and letting go; an air dominant person
with considering the effects of their actions on others and an ether
dominant person with sadness.
Although the pull of the chakra vortexes is powerful, it is possible to
learn to dance with the energies instead of indulging in them so that we can
move through excesses and deficiencies and restore balance. Once we become
aware of the energies, how they feel and how they change, our awareness
guides us to appropriate action.
We learn to restore emotional balance by centering our consciousness beyond
the emotional field of dramatic emotions (e-motions!) and become more
sensitive to subtle feelings and internal messages that help to guide us in
our lives. If we choose harmony and peace as our goal it becomes easier to
let go of excessive emotions if we have skills to release the emotions
associated with each chakra.
For example - If we become angry we can release the emotion with a powerful
movement as if we were chopping wood accompanied by a release of the HA
sound. Once the excess is released we can deal with the situation
appropriately.
Healthy body organs in each chakra plexus support balanced emotions. If the
bowels are functioning well there is less tendency to fear. A healthy liver
reduces imbalances of anger, aggression and competition. Conversely,
conditions like TB are often associated with excessive grief and heart
conditions with lack of ability to give and receive love.
Clearing the emotional energies of the chakras can be achieved through
movement, sounding, treatments, yoga, colour healing, rebirthing, emotional
release and meditation. Also whenever natural therapeutics are used to
cleanse the body systems together with rejuvenation through rest, nourishing
healing diets, bodywork and naturopathy treatments, transformation and
evolution takes place naturally.

stomach, duodenum and small intestine.

ELEMENTS
The elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether weave our physical,
emotional, social and mental world, as well as the world of world of nature
that sustains us. We inherit an elemental constitution, which usually has a
dominant element or elements that strongly influence our behaviour, health
and approach to life. How we live creates an excess or shortage of an
element. The elements within us also influence each other in a dynamic
interchange and flow.
We may experience a state of harmony from time to time when the elements are
in balance. Alternatively, we may experience a deficient element or elements
that will affect our lives. Usually the elements move in tandem with the
constant changes in life. Imbalances of the elements can be adjusted through
naturopathic therapeutics and conscious choices that enhances wellness.
Eventually with practice,
effort and surrender we move less from the centre
of being towards imbalance. From the centre of our being we are then able
to inhabit balance, harmony and peace for longer periods of time.
Elemental balance is influenced by weather, altitude, temperature, climate,
food and drink, emotions, thoughts and also shock or trauma. If we consider
these factors in our life and whether they are causing excess, shortage or
balance of the elements then we begin to dance with the elements. If you
don't dance the elements they dance you!
Ancient systems of medicine were based on creating a harmonious return to a
balance of the elements. Whether the elements were called Greek humours,
Ayurveda doshas, Chinese elements, or Hindu chakras, the awareness of the
energies that weave our inner and outer ecology were seriously considered as
a major influence on the patient's condition and method of treatment.
Other systems such as the water cure of Austria and Germany, Victorian ocean
cures, high altitude dry cures for tuberculosis or the cave cures of ancient
China utilised a specific element for a specific cure. Today luxury
destination spas are created around the elemental energies to inspire the
experience of the harmonizing effect of treatments and environments that
encourage a return to balance.
Also within each healing system there are elemental treatments such as heart
nourishment, body work, water cure, fire heat, air breath, etheric sound,
meditation and beauty which are offered to restore health through a balance
of the elements.
EMOTIONS
The elemental healing systems and mystic spiritual traditions reveal wisdom
about the relationship of the elements to the five passions from which all
emotions stem.
When we truly become interested in the mystery, magic and vast possibility
of our own being we become fascinated by the energies that weave our life
experience. Using the senses associated with the elements to feel, see,
touch, hear and taste our world and our own being allows us to come into
present awake attention so that we can learn from nature, life experiences,
relationships and our own being. We begin to notice how the energies and
emotions change, how cycles influence our experience, sequences repeat, and
patterns reappear. The study of yoga, tai chi, the I Ching, the healing
arts, meditation, purification and rejuvenation diets and participation in
personal and group retreats and training allows the time to deepen and
approach the mystery of your own being.
In today's world the multi-cultural mystic and healing systems are
discovering they are teaching the same basic truths and realities of this
world and our human experience. If you wish to explore your inner being and
discover what the teachings of the chakra elements and emotions can offer
you in your journey to understand, live and enjoy life as you fulfil your
human destiny your, be assured your life will be enhanced in ways you never
imagined.
EXPERIENCES OF PARTICIPANTS
As well as being gifted with visionary mystic experiences, participants
learn valuable information for improving their health, well-being and
quality of life.
"I have met God
I have touched the hand of God
I am a child of God.
I am Love.
I am free, free to give and receive love.
I am free to forgive.
The past is simply an illusion.
It really is okay to love myself."
³Dancing the elements was a very transforming experience that allowed me to
free my limitations and fears and let my true self shine, accept myself
fully for who I am and love myself, be in balance and be whole."
"The dances were powerful, profound, intense, grace-full and peaceful, fluid
in and out of my being. If anyone is truly wanting to 'dance' in the arenas
of wholeness and light and love and bring that out into the world we live in
- this is definitely the clearest path."
³The Air Heart Dance showed me how the pulse of life vibrates like an
intense light, pulsating through each cell of my body and every part of my
being. With each movement my illuminated body received pure love, absorbed
it, then radiated it to all parts of my being. I felt the light gain
incredible power and then pulsate back to the universe. The love light
expanded and contracted until there was no giving and receiving. The love
energy became one it just like I was love.²
³I have learned how to life my LIFE! You should be the Minister of Education
for the whole world.²
