Mind body connection and the energetic system
PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL BODY CONNECTION
Our energetic health, is the life force, the prana, that makes us alive and the flow of that life
force, is critical in the connection between our mind and body. The chakras are both supporters
of, and /or obstacles to, that energetic health. They are the bridge from heaven to earth. There are
two directions of movement on the bridge. The shiva consciousness descends from the crown
(and this is the masculine principle, grounding and manifesting pure consciousness without
form.) The feminine shakti energy, is the primordial power of the universe rising up from the
pereneium making it’s way in an ascending current of liberation and realization through the
central channel of the body. It is the flow of the awakening energy, a flow of great intensity and,
of great release, an opening of energy that can be both exciting and chaotic. Shiva descending
energy has grace and order and this energy brings peace and impregnates shakti with
consciousness. This upward flow is the liberating current that leads to awakening and
enlightenment. The downward current is the path of manifestation, creating in the earth, the
fulfillment of our inspiration. The point is to have a complete journey both there and back.
When bringing the charkas back to balance it is important that both of these energies are
flowing unobstructed and finding their expression. The charkas are portals between the inner and
outer world, the place in the body where our physical reality meets our spiritual nature.
Allowing the life force energy to flow optimally allows us to experience our full aliveness. How
does this apply to you? Your body is the vehicle to carry the aspirations of the spirit, and the
karma, past lifetime wounds. This programming of your chakras determines the particular
challenges and frustrations that you will experience in your life. Here, in this program, you are
presented with the opportunity to go into your charkas and write the programs that work and help
you manifest the life that you want, that support your personal growth, your healing and your
recovery.
The chakra’s provide a context for understanding how to progress along our path
and journey of healing. There are seven steps or healing pathways that are given to us, for
our growth and evolution and all steps and pathways are incremental and equally
important in arriving at our destination. To align our inner space with the outer journey is
critically important to understand. We must be aware of, confront, transform and
remove any and all obstacles to our positive forward movement along this path. By
nourishing our consciousness and our emotions with truth, love and positivity we clear up
our internal limitations and open up our external movement.
In order to successfully heal the emotions it is valuable to know how to fully occupy
our physical and energetic body, to become fully embodied. The development of ou
emotional mastery is intimately connected to how we are occupying our physical and
energetic body. How present affects your ability to be connected to your own physical
sensations, independently of how uncomfortable, intense, or constricted you may feel, is
how we truly manifest and develop our courage, our ability to confront with presence and
awareness of everything that is here, this is what really determines how masterful we will
be in relation to our emotions.
Making the choice to be fully connected, fully present with yourself is the most
courageous, transformative and healing choice you can make. This choice consistently
made is the key to transformation and liberation. Issues, disturbances and illnesses
manifest themselves in the mental, spiritual and emotional body before they even start
showing up in the physical body, so it is possible to resolve issues before they even
manifest on the physical plane, preventing the need for physical discomfort and
disease. It is extremely valuable to practice sensitizing your connection to your physical
body so that you can heighten your sensitivity to your energetic body, your chakras and
heal any constriction or energetic build up prior to it becoming a physical problem.
Your spiritual energy can be lost, frozen or trapped in these areas of contraction and
until we reclaim that life force we are limited in our energetic system our creative,
intuitive and sensual capacity, obstructed and unable to fulfill our potential. It is also
valuable to establish a physical practice such as yoga that allows you to be connected to
your body in a way that supports greater physical and energy body awareness. Moving
into shapes that tug on the connective tissue of the body, opens up the pranic channels
and, the nadis, so that the breath can move throughout the body freeing the trapped
physical, mental emotional and spiritual energy in a way that liberates nourishes, and
energizes your essence.
