Chakra thread

This is a thread dedicated to the Chakras in order to get understanding of the dynamics and systems related to Chakras!

I'll begin with writing a story as to why I believe there even is such a thing. I am somewhat of a skeptic and have in the past dismissed this notion. But.. I had one lucid dream in which I meditated purely for the sake of meditation and trying to see where it leads and in this dream these symbols appeared in my body. All six or seven of them. I didn't count. :P In this dream-meditation I floated upwards into the sky and automatically started making hand-gestures in the form of Mudras. I remember making a similar but slightly different Mudra-symbol from a small buddha statue that my parents gave to me.

I didn't think much of it, although it did got me thinking. As if that experience was not conclusive enough I recall two more experiences in which these symbols appeared. Both of which happened under the influence of Freebase DMT. Unfortunately the experience of vaporizing DMT is brief and I didn't get enough time to experiment. Same thing with this lucid dream it all ended way too quick. In these two experiences I have looked in a mirror and seen coloured symbols appear in front of my Torso. I am not sure if I saw one on my forehead but I do reckon that there was some purple to be seen. Like I said it was over much too quick.

I have recently began actively trying to engage my "Chakras" into meditation. But it has been hard, there is too little that is happening for me to feel any notable changes. I therefore conclude that my techniques are generally useless. My last succes was last week where I tried a new sort of meditation called Gateway of Light. I do not know much about Gateway of Light but I do know that the general gist of it is to feel energy in ur hands. Well I did this while sitting in Lotus and moved my hands slightly above my knees. While breathing in deeply I began to feel a tinglint sensation across my hands. Then I felt an unseen force working to push my hands together as if it where a magnet. While this happened I tried to let my arms relax as much as I could without letting them fall. Then I noticed that my hands would automatically repel with every breathe I took and collapse with every exhale. Then I figured why not imagine there is energy within my palms and work on my Chakras. I tried working from top to bottem and slowly moved my arms across every chakra point on my head and torso starting from the third eye. While I felt relatively little, I did notice a theme in my thinking that corresponded to each chakra that I worked on. For instance I remember thinking in new ways about how to behave in a particular relationship while spending time on the heart chakra. Eventually I concluded that my root chakra is the most messed up so to speak :cackle:

After this experience I did feel highly rejunevated. I took a long walk and found myself feeling very filled up from the inside. I had a sense of focus that is hard to describe but felt way more sharp than usual and much more than before meditating. I mean I could zoom in on thoughts and think more clearly and also look at inanimate objects and not get bored because of the energy that filled me with purpose and meaning. But that was maybe the result of successful mindfullness-meditation and not chakras persay.

Trying my hand at a blog-like post. First time so bare with me :tongue:

There are many many systems describing this very real thing. The Kaballah system, the Chakra system are the most well-known. I know not much of either systems. Therefore I need your help.
All I know is my own personal experience and it is a limited conduit but it is pure knowledge. I would like you to share yours with me. I will try to share what I know in this thread.

Attachment 8028

The Chakra's in it's most unaldurated form looks a lot like this. I vaporized a powerful psychedelic called dimethyltryptamine and on more than one occasion looked into my reflection and have seen these symbols in front of my body while sitting in lotus.

I believe going deeper into the Chakras constitutes going deeper into the soul and memories. I believe each chakra houses different psyhological barriers that are memories and traumas related to these body-centers. And these barriers on a soul level also have an effect on the material body and vice versa.

I also believe the Chakra system may be a regulator of our immune system. It may very well be our immune system, actually. I think there's a danger in activating and enhancing the chakras I will extrapolate on this later.

Going into each and every Chakra and share what I know about it.

Crown Chakra~
Out of the top of the skull is an energetic opening of sorts. (HINT:Biological explanation needed)
When I was 18 there has been a clear sensation of energy leaking out of the top of my head. I had no idea of chakras at the time. I saw the world as a grid of energy and everyone as antennas ready to have telepathic conversations and join the collective dream. Also had the distinct feeling that I was sharing dreams/experiences with other people. Upon trying to confirm this however I was looked at as insane. I had the most beautiful experience after trying to connect with the heart of a girl I was befriending at the time. Maybe this is related more-so to the Heart Chakra. Funny thing, she declared her love to me the day after.

Third Eye Chakra.~
Not much that I know of the third eye chakra.

Throat Chakra~
Yes ok, throat chakra. I vaped an unmeasured amount of DMT and ended up lying still in the bed. I felt extremely cold as my arms was felt collapsing into a void and my arms split in 2 and started to function as a tunnel for part organic part machinelike snakes to travel through as if it was a tube. My body seemed to be making a double. And my throat was doing the same. My throat chakra/plasma-body literally felt to be falling apart from my own throat. I sensed a schism in the two and in hindsight it was as if I was about to take the body of one double and use it for Astral Travel. . Anyway, this is how I read from others as a use for the throat in Kabbala magic or what have you.

Heart Chakra~
When I am feeling a certain focus in my chakra's during meditation I feel a sort of heat traveling through this part of the body. There is the left side, our actual heart. Here is where I usually feel sensations when speaking with sympathy.
There is also the Thymus gland but it actually sits a little bit above the heart chakra in between the heart and the throat. The Thymus gland is very important for our immune system. And shrink in most people after puberty. This is I believe a horrible misunderstanding to believe that this is a natural shrinking!

Solar Plexus Chakra~

Sacral Chakra~

Base Chakra~

Must edit this post later but I thought I would give you guys a little sneak peak . :D
Any additions folks? Please post any suggestion that you may want to add.

Your attachment won't open.

I did some research and experimentation with chakra's not long ago. Each chakra has a certain colour which corresponds with certain functions. This information is easily accessible on the net.

What I found really interesting is that if you focus on each separate chakra whilst singing out loud "Doh Ray Me So Fah La Te Doh" it empowers each chakra to such an extent you can feel the energy quite easily. Try it yourself when no one's around, the first "Doh" is at the soles of your feet and the next "Ray" at your Root chakra and so on. You have to move your awareness to each area so sing it slowly and just experiment.

I find that my root chakra is quite easy to activate just like how the crown chakra opens in a cone shape radiating from the top of your head, the root chakra also opens in a cone shape towards the ground. If you ground yourself by imagining roots like a tree going from your feet into the ground it also makes it easier to feel.

You can stimulate each chakra individually by moving 2 fingers in a circular motion just above it. Clockwise brings energy in and anti-clockwise clears it. This is a good technique for feeling the energy there.

I also tried some kundalini techniques, a really good one is Sahaja Yoga it worked first time for me. I managed to find some kundalini MP3's and exercise video's too. Something else that is good for bringing in energy is pranayama breathing.

Hey Eonnn. Thank you so much for ur reply.

I am planning to expand on the Chakra's frequencies and their associated sound. As well as on the coning shape of the Crown Chakra. I did not know that about the cone shape towards the ground. Very interesting. But I have indeed seen the Coning of the Crown Chakra so I am inclined to believe that you are correct on this one as well. I will experiment and extrapolate on this. Same with the fingers.

I am interested in Kundalini and Prana but I can't seem to find proper guidance. Can I ask you to please give a little more detail; maybe a quick word on Sahaja Yoga and a little more in-depth on how you do Pranayama practices?

I did this exercise. Very powerful.

Yeah I was looking for videos last night but couldn't find any decent. Had another look today and found some. That video you posted is basically the same as Sahaja Yoga. The first time I did Sahaja Yoga I experienced 10 minutes of blissful silence, my inside voice was dead quiet for a solid 10 minutes it was awesome.

This is Sahaja Yoga:

Contrary to the title it's not so much yoga as it is just placing hands in certain area's. The practice facilitates the movement of kundalini up to the crown chakra allowing self-realisation.

This is Pranayama:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1OHj9O6lMQ

With Pranayama you should also visualise golden-white light coming in through your nostrils and down into your belly, and do it much longer than she does in the video. If you do it right then after you have finished you might have a metallic taste in your mouth, this is called jade nectar and is a byproduct of the exercise and should be swallowed as it is very beneficial for you. This practice is said to increase frequency of LD's and AP's so do it before you go to sleep, you can do it lying down if needed.

By the Way,

This is the kundalini yoga video I have a copy of at home:

This set of video's in below link is the Mp3's I was talking about that are very good at raising kundalini:
