The Anahata is associated with the Divine Soul or Higher
Self, being the location where we contact our angelic counterpart.
It is said to be the seat of the "Very Subtle Mind" and "Very Subtle
Wind" that are immortal and pass from lifetime to lifetime.
The silver chord that connects our Soul with the Soul of humanity
comes through the Crown chakra and lodges here in the Heart chakra.
The Heart chakra resonates the Divine principle behind the human
Christ, and retains the history of our cosmic and human evolution.
As the white
drop descending from the Crown and the red
drop ascending from the Wheel of Emanation unite in the Heart,
they bond in the permanent drop that passes from lifetime to lifetime.
The movement of these drops in sushumna creates an ecstasy said
to be 100 times greater than an orgasm (see Vajrayana
(Tantric Buddhism). Like a drop of water in a crystal
pool, the waves emanate out--not in a 2D plane but in 3D space--rising
up through the chord to our Soul Family, and
out to our human family.
Being that the Heart chakra resides at the center of the 7 chakra
system, it acts not only as an anchor for our consciousness in 3D
space but as the starting point from which the Divine Love of the
cosmos interpenetrates our vehicle.
This creates a system where the 3 chakras below the heart and the
3 chakras above the heart work as pairs. The Divine
Love radiates out from the central point in waves, or harmonics
of Love.
- The 1st harmonic reaches the 5th and 3rd chakras simultaneously.
The energy created is akin to the phenomena occurring when an
electron jumps from one orbit to another, creating a photon of
Light (manifesting the ray
of wisdom).
- The 2nd harmonic reaches the 6th and 2nd chakras where a similar
energy occurs creating another color of Love (manifesting the
ray of love)
- The 3rd harmonic reaches the 7th and 1st chakras simultaneously
where the Love Energy manifested creates the third Color of Love
(the ray of life).
Together these Colors of Love make up the full spectrum of Love,
similar to the way in which the three primary colors of Light make
up the full spectrum of visible light in this realm.

| The
Shoulder-Blades Chakra
The Shoulder-Blades chakra is located opposite the Heart
chakra. It works with the Heart chakra in the front
of the body to activate the feelings of peace, love, happiness,
etc. The Shoulder-Blades chakra represents the point
where the lower
will overlays with the higher
will, essentially the meeting place of individual
choice and the cosmic/karmic design laid out by universal
law. When the lower
will and the higher
will are aligned, the
drops flow effortlessly in the central channel and the
resulting ecstasy radiates both within and without, in all
directions.
Activity in the Shoulder-Blades chakra operates on multiple
levels (see Shoulder-Blades
chakra):
- On the raw emotional and mental levels, it is the center
where Ego choice plays out in the moment. It signifies
the potency of will concentrating in the governor
channel, and through the lower
will represents the location where our actions manifest
in the outer, physical world.
- At the auric level, the Shoulder-Blades chakra operates
as a pump that draws forth chi-energy from the Adrenal chakra
and pushes it up to the higher chakras.
- At the Soul body level, this chakra creates a link to
our angelic counterpart, the Cherub. Through meditation
and practice of acting out of unconditional love, a connection
is made such that communication with angels becomes possible.
Thus, this chakra operates to enable spiritual travel, and
acts as a protective mechanism during travel in the physical
realm.
In a way similar to how the cosmic
drop from the universe enters the pool
of love in the Heart, the karmic
drop is drawn up from the Earth through the reservoir
of experience, manifesting in the lower chakras, and deposits
in the pool
of choice located in the Shoulder-Blades chakra.
The pool
of choice is the holographic projection of the activity
manifesting in the pool
of karma as it outpictures in 3D space. There is
a constant interplay of the ripples occurring as the Shoulder-Blades
chakra works with the Heart chakra. Here the pool
of choice interpenetrates the pool
of love, and the combined vision is either enhanced and
expanded or diminished and solidified. Which of these
occurs is based on the individual's alignment of the lower
will with the higher
will. Since the Heart works as the receptive component
of the Anahata, the Shoulder-Blades works as its active component,
thus allowing an individual the opportunity to issue out the
love vibration as a harmonic of the Divine
Love permeating all space.
Due to the nature and mechanics of the Heart/Shoulder-Blades
chakras combined, it is the point within the body that best
represents the
moment. Though the cosmic
drop has great potential while descending through the
upper 3 chakras, and the karmic
drop is potent throughout it's journey through the lower
3 chakras, it is not until they meet in the Anahata that the
moment is actualized, the point where all possibility exists. |
| The
Heart Chakra
The Heart Chakra is the location where the cosmic
drop of Love enters at the birth
event, and radiates out in all directions. From
the moment of birth, this love radiation continues to pulsate
throughout the cosmos, and the body. This pulsation
will produce a range of emotions based on the condition of
the individual's chakra levels. For example, a person
with a blocked 3rd chakra will cognize the event in an egotistical
or self-centered way, whereas a person whose 3rd and 5th chakras
are aligned and working together will experience virtuous
emotions such as compassion, respect, happiness, etc.
In general, the experience will be somewhere on the continuum
of these extremes, and as the life force
continues to flow, the experiences unite to form a picture
of our psychological body.
As the cosmic
drop enters the pool
of love in the Heart, it draws together the karmic
drop in the pool
of choice in the Shoulder-Blades chakra, which resonates
out and contacts the Heart of other individuals. This
karmic
drop represents our connection to all others as well as
to our own past and future incarnations. In a relative
sense, the individuals visible in our current incarnation
reflect characters in our future and history, making the
moment fundamental in our evolutionary process.
The Heart chakra is the said to be center that governs the
positive (yang) chi-energy in the body, just as the Door of
Life chakra is the center that governs the yin chi- energy
(see Heart chakra). As
the individual works through the lower
will in the Kidney chakra to convert the lower
desire, the modified karmic
drop is raised to the Shoulder-Blades as it harmonizes
in the pool
of choice the reflection of the cosmic
drop pulsating in the pool
of love in the Heart. Then, as the Shoulder-Blades
receives the response through the karmic
drop of others, the Heart sends the adjusted Love vibration
back to the Kidney (Door of Life) chakra via the Navel.
As the individual continues to purify the lower
desire, a circulation of energy occurs in the lower chakras
which builds up the red
drop in the Wheel of Emanation. As the circulation
continues, the red
drop continues to rise, drawing to it the Drop of higher
mind at the point between the Adrenal and Solar Plexus
chakras, and finally attracts to itself the white
drop in the central Heart.
As chi is circulated throughout the chakra system of the
body, it collects and gathers at the Heart chakra before radiating
out through the hands or eyes of the healer. This healing
works on multiple levels, where the pranic love vibration
works to repair diseased cells on both the self and on others.
When the Heart center has been fully opened, it becomes the
channel for Divine
Love - or 'Christ Consciousness'. Once opened, the
immortal divine Soul (higher
self) is able to work through this center, and due to
this the Heart is often said to be the seat of the Soul (see
Heart chakra).
The Thymic Chakra - High Heart Chakra
The High Heart chakra is located above the Heart chakra and
below the Throat chakra. Being positioned between the
Heart and Throat, the Thymic chakra acts as a bridge between
our emotions and reason, and works to balance and integrate
the channels of higher consciousness and body wisdom (the
senses). Due to this, the Thymic chakra appears to provide
a direct connection between our Soul body and physical body,
essentially the place of the Cherub.
It is associated with the Thymus gland which balances and
regulates the immunological system of the body. In
a way akin to how the Thymus gland works to purify the body
by filtering out unhealthy substances through the lymphatic
system, the Thymic chakra works to purify the upper 3 chakra
centers from etheric congestion caused by unhealthy choices
and misdirected desire. As the individual works in alignment
with the higher
will, it causes the Heart to ascend to the High Heart,
thereby connecting with the Sacred Heart, or Christ Consciousness
(see Thymic chakra). |
