Chakras
By Dr. Tim Morgan, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
DEFINITION OF CHAKRAS: Psychic centers, wheels serving as transformers, receiving centers for incoming forces.
THE FIRST CHAKRA deals with the gland of Impar as a center, and is located at the tip of the spine. The gland controls the complete relaxation center for the entire body. Some of the other duties of the zone are the excretory functions, and all of the organs in the floor of the pelvis. This includes the reproductive process. Problems here can cause hemorrhoids, (paragitis) extreme pain at the end of the spine, superficial infect ions, rashes and sexual dysfunction. This zone also encompasses the hips , and the lower three branches of the great sciatic nerve. It causes problems in the legs and can lead to curvature of the spine.
THE FIRST RAY - Physical Ray - is red and is the vitality or energy center. It is a reproductive and creative force field. This ray also promotes heat and body temperature, as well as an "up" feeling when a person is "exhausted", this ray needs attention. People who have a low period - both physical and mental - need the first Chakra stimulated. For a good dietary program, one should consume the fruits and vegetables which are red and have a lot of iron. These include cranberries, beets, radishes, plums, apples, spinach, greens, etc. Don't forget the red juices such a s apple, tomato, cherry, cranberry, etc. However, if you find a person " very worked up" he doesn't need fiery red colors or high energy food, it over-stimulates. By the same token, if you have someone depressed, this regimen's excellent together with appropriate chiropractic care.
THE SECOND CHAKRA is located over the fifth lumbar vertebra. It is centered in the intestines. It controls the lymphatics in the lower part of t he body some of the muscle coordination, and circulation. This zone controls the non-voluntary muscles which cause peristalsis in the digestive tract. Trouble here causes constipation, colitis, dysentery, digestive problems and craps in the abdomen. It also causes acidosis. Many types of kidney problems, menstruation irregularity, and bed-wetting, along with miscarriages and impotency occurs here. This zone also involves the lumbar-sacral and sacroiliac articulations, sometimes known as lumbago. Poor circulation and phlebitis are associated with this area because it has control of the blood vessels. A very important function is the part it plays in the motion of bending.
THE SECOND RAY is the ray of higher knowledge. It is the splenic center and is orange in color. This ray promotes the process of digestion and a simulation through circulatory bodily functions. Orange is a warm color and helps free the mind of restrictive thinking. It puts a glow deep in side one, which can promote a feeling of well-being. The diet should include all the orange fruits and vegetables - oranges, tangerines, peaches , cantaloupes, carrots, apricots, winter squash, pumpkin, and all the juices. Think of that big orange moon in the sky and you realize the power of this ray.
THE THIRD CHAKRA is over the 12 thoracic vertebra. It is for cleansing t he entire body system. This includes all detoxification of the blood from nutrition intake. Posture has a great deal to do with the function of this area. Posture is the key to your health, because it aligns the powers of the body to react on each other, creating harmony and balance. Balance is the key between cellular fluids and is maintained throughout t he body. It is what life is based upon. The kidneys filter the blood and pull out most of the impurities. This zone controls portions of the liver and the solar-plexus and the adrenal glands, just to name a few. Psychological stress can affect the solar plexus and the adrenal glands, jus t to name a few. Psychological stress can affect the solar plexus, which upsets the nervous systems, causing an imbalance in the system and can affect the entire body. This creates an imbalanced vibration field. Many people in the esoteric field find the third Chakra needs more attention than most, due to this effect.
THE THIRD WISDOM RAY is the lower mental ray, and the color is yellow. T his ray is involved in the nervous systems and emanates through the live r and intestines. It is a purifier. The skin is very sensitive and receptive to change. The dietary program here includes the yellow-skinned fruits and vegetables and their juices. These include lemons, lemonade, bananas, squash, grapefruit, pineapple, pineapple juice, sweet corn, yellow apples, etc. These foods stimulate the logical mind process and reasoning powers. Folks who need mental stimulation should keep these colors a round them and consume some yellow food. This therapy is great for depression. THE
FOURTH CHAKRA is at the third dorsal. This is the heart area and is very important. It controls the heart and lungs. It does a tremendous amount of the circulatory work, including the aortae. This is the largest vessel and it takes blood from the heart through the entire body. Because of the daily routine in our sluggish society, it promotes this type pro bleb in the heart. The lungs, shoulders, tingling of the arms and hands, make up just a few of the symptoms that will manifest themselves through this Chakra. I cannot stress enough the importance of proper chiropractic adjustments for proper body alignment. The heart is a miracle of God's work and it serves us well.
THE FOURTH RAY - Harmonizing Ray - is the heart ray and is green. It carries a peaceful gentle vibration. It is the half-way point between man's lower vibrations and his spiritual development. It has somewhat of a blood pressure connotation because of the conflict between the two worlds. Problems with the heart could be psychological as "you broke my heart" or, "I can't face it." Keep green around for harmony. The dietary program includes all the green fruits and vegetables. Green beans, peas, celery, greens - endive, lettuce and cabbage - are some. Limes, limeade, green apples, avocados, green pears and green grapes are some of the fruits . This ray color is a calming one on angry people. Gentle the green earth, so too will one respond thusly.
THE FIFTH CHAKRA is the sixth cervical vertebra. This is the posture of the neck. Some of the areas that it supplies are the neck, esophagus, mouth, portions of the lower jaw, shoulders, tonsils, and the neck lymph glands. It has a few fibers that go to the heart and carotid arteries. T his zone, if misaligned, may cause severe emotional disorders. Many fear s and insecurities can be corrected with the proper Chiropractic adjustment and diet.
THE FIFTH RAY - Healing Ray - is blue. This throat Chakra is the one that slows things up for the healing process. I find many "upset" people complain of a "lump in the throat". These people need the calming color of blue and a correct dietary regime with chiropractic adjustments. We go to the blue fruits and juices - blueberries, blackberries, plums, damson s, and blue grapes. If the person is depressed, splashes of red and yellow can be combined with the blue for stimulation. But for a very "up" person, blue is the best color to have around.
THE SIXTH CHAKRA is the first cervical vertebra. This is an extremely important vertebra. It controls the entire body. It has the power to cause problems in the automatic sensations of the body. This includes breathing, heartbeat, persistalis, the entire spinal cord, and all it's functions. The first major cervical nerve comes out below the second cervical vertebra. I cannot stress too much the importance of this vertebra. If this vertebra is out of place, it can cause problems anywhere in the body.
THE SIXTH RAY is dark blue, indigo with maroon overtones. This is the third eye center. All the psychic currents are cleansed and charged here. This Ray responds to a clam, quiet meditative pose. It opens the channel s of the mind. For the dietary program, include all the blue and purple fruits and juices. Grape juice is great for fasting along with cranberry . The psychic centers sharpen after a cleansing fast.
THE SEVENTH CHAKRA is the major zone of the center. Stimulates production of the pituitary gland and balances cranial pressure. It is the entry- way for the intuitive connection. We all have this ability which is just as important for the enhancement of total health.
THE SEVENTH RAY is the Tiara Ray. All higher mind forces are here. This is the "Walla" ray. It helps all people, especially those who already have highly attuned systems. Nervous or excitable people need the colors purple and deep blues around them. The dietary program includes all purple fruits, juices and vegetables. Blackberries, purple cabbage, eggplant, purple grapes, beets, purple broccoli. I find that bath water charged with blue bath salts is very relaxing and is excellent for a "come down" from a high vibe trip. Again, this color will put a "down" person into a deeper state. Be aware of the moods of your loved ones and act accordingly.
