chakras
location
|
 The
chakra system can been viewed as a "seven-leveled
philosophical model of the universe." The seven chakras
(Sanskrit for wheels or disks) are wheels of bio-energetic
activity radiating from nerve ganglia (clusters) that start at
the base of the spine and continue on to the crown of the head.
Although
the energy of the chakras can be monitored, they have no mass or
substance of their own. Each individual chakra does, however,
have a general location.

rights
Each of
the seven chakras has a basic right that, if infringed upon or
not claimed/expressed, can provide problems in that chakra and
thus, in life.
- The right to be here:
simply to exist, take care of ourselves, and have possessions.
- The right to feel:
to express and understand one’s emotions, needs, and wants.
- The right to act:
to be innovative and free.
- The right to love and
be loved:
freedom from projected or received prejudice, low self-esteem,
and violent conflict. Being the central chakra, if any of the
other rights is harmed, the right to love may be harmed as
well.
- The right to speak
and hear truth:
Transgressions include: not be listened to, family secrets,
and not being spoken to honestly.
- The right to see:
Transgressions include: being told our perception is
inaccurate, having things deliberately hidden from us, and
having the scope of ones vision denied.
- The right to know:
the right to
truth, accurate information, knowledge, and to simply know
what’s going on. This includes spiritual knowledge and the
right to connect with and interpret the divine as one chooses.
