| The
Base of the Neck Chakra
The Base of the Neck chakra is located where the neck joins
the shoulders, just below the 7th cervical vertebra.
After receiving the rising yang chi from the Shoulder-Blades
chakra, the Base of Neck chakra completes a circuit starting
with the Adrenal chakra below, through it's connection to
the functional channel via the Base of Throat chakra at the
front of the body. This circulates the energy back down
through the frontal chakras to the Solar Plexus, then over
to the Adrenal chakra and back up again. Since the Base
of Neck chakra is counterpart to the Base of Throat chakra,
together they act as an anchor through which the lower chakras
in the circuit (Shoulder-Blades/Heart, Adrenal/Solar Plexus)
receive the Soul Wisdom. This provides the location
for the higher
will impression to interface with the lower systems.
As a result of the chi-energy circulation here, the
entire circuit is balanced through the central point in the
Heart, which then serves as a connecting point with the energy
channels of the hands, arms, and legs (see Base
of Neck chakra).
The Base of Neck chakra connects to the Back of the Neck
chakra as a point of support for the super conscious connection
between the Crown chakra and the physical Self. The
strength of this connection is based largely on the available
chi-energy circulating through the system of chakras described
above. Thus, the Base of Neck and Base of Throat connection
provides the substance through which the higher
self can view the reflection of the karmic
drop resonating in the Heart.
The Back of the Neck Chakra
The Back of the Neck chakra is located at the middle of the
back of the neck, between the 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae
. Through it's connection with the Base of Neck chakra,
this chakra serves as an anchor point between the higher consciousness
and the physical body. Thus the Back of Neck chakra
provides the anchor point through which the Crown chakra attains
access to the individual's pool
of choice. It is a passive connection in that Spirit
cannot affect the reality due to free choice, but due to position
will have direct access to the entire life history, thereby
justifying the term "all-knowing". Essentially,
it is the Soul presenting the pool
of choice vision to Spirit, and through the Throat chakra
in the front represents the Soul's presentation of Spirit
to Ego. Together they represent the voice of the Soul.
Additionally, the Back of Neck chakra connects to the Mouth
of God chakra above it. Thus, another circulation of
chi-energy is operating within these sets of secondary chakras,
where the rising yang chi ( governor
channel) provides the created
seed expression to Spirit, and through the descending
yin chi ( functional
channel) provides the experience of Spirit through the
Ego's ability to interpret the Soul Voice. From the
personal perspective then, the Back of Neck connection provides
Ego with access to the Soul body, and with Spirit when the
attitude is toward 'seeking'. Psychologically this exposes
a sense of self, and when dutifully seeking, reveals an undying
knowingness. As a result, the Back of Neck chakra is
considered to be a mental center, essentially providing access
to the higher
mind (see Back of Neck chakra).
As the Base of Neck chakra draws a response from this chakra
in regards to exposing the
moment outpicturing in the individual's pool
of choice, the Back of Neck chakra draws from Creator
the consciousness best appropriate to expose the Ego's attention
towards seeking. This response is significantly affected
by the condition of the yang energy in the governor
channel.
Since the upper 3 chakras are controlled indirectly through
the physical, emotional and mental desire resonating from
the lower 3 chakras (lower
self), opportunity to positively affect the moment is
often significantly diminished. In cases where the lower
desire is exceptionally emphasized, the Back of Neck chakra
may be compensated to respond to the request from Base of
Neck as a conditioned response or pattern. In this case,
the lower
will would repeat the pattern through the Word issued
out the Throat chakra by Ego. This would further compound
the initial misalignment, solidifying the unhealthy karmic
pattern.
The Mouth of God Chakra
The Mouth of God Chakra lies above the 1st cervical vertebra.
This chakra mediates and draws upwards the chi-energy of the
governor
channel via it's connection with the Back of Neck chakra,
and allows the ascending chi to rise to the Crown chakra.
Additionally, it provides a link to the Palatine chakras at
the front of the body through its connection with the central
Brow. Thus it works to balance the overwhelmingly yang
energy of the head centers by attracting the yin energy of
the functional
channel. In addition, this chakra creates a direct
connection to the Crown Chakra at the top of the head, thus
an intimate connection between the 5th and 7th chakras.
The Mouth of God chakra draws in the spiritual breath of Soul,
thus it's connection with breath and sound (see Mouth
of God chakra).
As our body drew in its first physical breath through the
mouth, simultaneously it drew in its first spiritual breath
(Soul breath) through the Mouth of God chakra. Since
then, we have continued this process of breathing unimpeded,
and without thinking. When we focus on the in-breath
of Spirit through the Mouth of God, our Intuitive faculty
aligns to the process and begins to unfold a path of awakening.
This path includes ideas of change that will benefit our evolution
as a form of guidance in our lives. Unfortunately, due
to personal karma the change required often appears too great
to achieve, and the process is stopped short. Changing
habits is never easy, and it is even more difficult when the
reason for the change is not so easily described. There
is no guarantee that our intuitive guidance will ever be proved,
so often the pressure of making a living overrules the original
impetus behind the quest.
As we continue to work with the replenished Spirit through
the breath, the outpicture from the Ajna and Crown chakras
creates a more cohesive intuitive Self, one that can be brought
into conversations for both entertainment, and in defending
the decisions being made. Probably the biggest critic
to this whole process does not come from outside us, but from
within. The forces that have drawn together the characters
in our life act in accordance with universal
law. More often than not, we become the judge, jury
and the one accused of our own past actions, and we sabotage
ourselves by closing to the very guidance that has the potential
to help free us. |
| The
Base of the Throat Chakra
The Base of Throat chakra is located at the top of the breastbone,
in the V-like notch at the base of the neck. It supports
the thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism and physical
growth through the production of hormones. In combination
with the Base of Neck chakra in the rear, this chakra provides
the location for the Soul impulse to interact with the physical
body. And when desire to know Creator is pronounced,
this chakra will often operate through selfless service to
others and to the world as a whole (see Base
of Throat chakra).
In a way similar to how the Thyroid gland regulates growth
in our physical body, the Base of Throat regulates growth
in our Aura. As events of the
moment draw together the karmic
drop in the Anahata, the Base of Throat acts on the stuff
through focus on the higher
will. This builds the Astral body through the Solar-Plexus
projection. If the higher
will has been aligned with the lower
will, the Aura will be nourished by the combustion of
astral energy. If on the other hand, the lower
mind and lower
will (3rd chakra) are more active, the Astral body will
reflect a picture of the karmic patterns that are already
in place, thereby forfeiting the opportunity to experience
the higher
self presence.
The Throat Chakra
The Throat chakra is located midway between the heart and
the tongue and, with the Back of Neck chakra, is associated
with sound, both speaking and listening, including hearing
spiritual sounds such as voices and music. On a more
subtle level, the Throat chakra is associated with the dream
state, as well as with the faculty of lucid dreaming.
It is also associated with the processing of physical and
emotional substance as a form of nourishment.
When the lower
desire is especially activated however, this can result
in an inflated enjoyment for food. (see Throat
chakra).
As the Vishuddha Chakra opens, the Drop of Nectar that gets
stored in the Lalana chakra drips down and gets processed.
The nectar is extracted and becomes the 'food of immortality',
and the poison is released and absorbed into the karmic
drop of the
moment. Through the use of the voice (sound, The
Word, etc.) the poison can be transmuted through the implementation
of the higher
mind in connection with the higher
will (5th chakra). Unfortunately, when the lower
mind controls the lower
desire, the nectar is burned as fuel and the poison then
needs to be reprocessed by the system. In this case
it would act to limit the Wisdom available to the lower
mind, making it even more difficult for the lower vehicles
to release from unhealthy karmic
patterns.
The Palatine Chakras - Talu or Lalana Chakra
There are actually three chakras here located along the roof of the mouth (soft palate), that act in unison to mediate
the descending Chi energy of the functional
channel. The Lalana chakra is situated slightly
behind these and acts as a glandular reservoir for the nectar
that drips down from Bindu chakra. As long as the Vishuddha
Chakra remains inactive, this nectar (Ambrosia) then flows
down to be burned as fuel in the fire of Manipura. However,
when through meditation the Vishuddha Chakra is awakened,
the drop enters there to be refined and purified, thus becoming
the nectar of immortality (see Talu/Lalana
chakra).
In other words, the Vishuddha Chakra can be thought of as
the location where poisons--both internal and external--can
be transformed and transmuted, bringing forth the bliss of
the nectar which is always present with the poison.
Poison here is regarded as any disturbance that may be occurring
in the body, whether physical, emotional or mental.
Behind every situation that is troublesome, there is an alternate
view on that situation which carries with it an advantage
of some sort, even if ever so subtle. By always seeking
the vision of an event that carries the highest value, our
conditioning becomes reprogrammed to that process and the
bliss of every day living then becomes the byproduct. |
