Welcome to the complete guide to 7 chakras. In this article, you will learn the 7 chakras in human body. Knowing how the chakras work in our mind-body system, is one of the essential skills you should master to live a happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling life.
The seven key chakras are the seven energy centers in the body, which control your health, emotions, thoughts, moods, relationships, immunity and spiritual awakening. When the chakras are properly open the positive energies in the body flows freely and you feel happy and if they are blocked you feel unhappy with several problems. The energy of the Chakras extends around and beyond the body to form what is called the Aura.
The names of the 7 chakras are: Root Chakra (Muladhara), Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana), Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), Heart Chakra (Anahata), Throat Chakra (Vishuddha), Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna) and the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara). They run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
Each chakra has seven states: open, closed, excessive open, balanced, active, under-active and overactive. Moreover, these states are dynamic in nature, because each chakra is constantly interacting with the external and internal environment. Before going into your chakra healing, chakra balancing or chakra meditation programs you must properly assess the state of your chakras.… Read more..
Stress Relief and Heart Rate Variability with Om Meditation
Sri Amit Ray explains how Om meditation and Om chanting is related to heart rate variability and stress relief.
Your heart rate is constantly changing to meet various requirements of your body and mind. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures how your heart rate varies over time. Generally, heart rate variability increases during relaxation and recovering activities and decreases during stress and anxiety. HRV reflects the changes in the interval between heartbeats (R wave) over time. HRV is NOT the same as plain old heart rate (HR). It’s not the “beats per minute” number most of us are familiar with.
Broadly speaking there are seven types of Om meditation. The impact of these meditations on stress level varies from person to person. HRV measurement just after different Om meditations can help you to assess the impact of your personalized meditation techniques on stress relief.The key for effective Om chanting is activating the Vayapini Nadi and the Kurma Nadi. Our studies strongly suggests that Vayapini Om chanting increases HRV and may be linked to the activation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex regions of the brain.

The main significance of Navratri is celebrating the victory of good over evil and above all embracing the spirit of joy and oneness, and leaving behind all that is limiting and hindering our growth as spiritual being.

Rediscover Your True Self – Transform the Darkness into Light
You are, inherently, whole and pure. Stress, strain, conflict, and other hurtful experiences may have covered your naturally intact core, but you can recover it. You can work from your inner resources and uncover your true Self and you can transform your darkness into light. Dr. Amit Ray here explains the power of Cosmic Self meditation for higher alignment with the pure Cosmic Self for happy and fulfilling life.
Power of Self-completing:
Self-completing means finding the light within and thereby aligning with the cosmic light. Meditation on cosmic Self, is the best way to align with the cosmos. Individual self is incomplete without its deep connection with the cosmic Self. Our Cosmic Self meditation techniques aim to reunify the individual with cosmos. Fulfillment comes when you free yourself from the artifices and regain original naturalness.
Once you rediscover your simplest and purest Self, your operations within the material world become effortless. You become harmonize with the cosmos.
“Individual self is incomplete without its deep connection with the cosmic Self. Cosmic Self meditation techniques aim to reunify the individual with cosmos.” — Amit Ray
Union with the cosmic Self
Union with the cosmic Self is not reserved for an elite of spiritual seekers. You don’t need to renounce the worldly life and isolating into unnecessary complexity. Self-completion lies right in front of your nose. The attitude with which you carry out your activities in daily life can turn anything from serving tea to sweeping the yard, into an act of fulfillment. Recognizing the presence of cosmic Self in everything, and operating in consciousness with this realization, is the essence of our cosmic Self meditation. You will realize that you are complete as you experience the present moment. Who Am I meditation is a special seven step technique to realize the cosmic Self.
Connecting the Energy Points with the Cosmos
The internal meditation process requires a firing process, which consists of moving vital energy through the human energetic metabolism. You energy points are distributed across the body some are blocked and some are open. There are 114 energy points and 72000 energy channels in human body. There are energy points under the soles of the feet, in the palms of the hands, and at the crown of the head. They serve to expel old vital energy, and absorb fresh refined energy into the body. A human being is healthy when pure vital energy runs fluidly through all energetic structures. Vital energy flow supplies the body and its organs with balanced sun and moon energies. “As within, so without” applies to everything, because everything is informed by the same underlying Truth.
“Life is not a discrete phenomena. It is a part of an intelligent cosmic field.
It is a cosmic dance.” — Amit Ray
Sri Amit Ray tells us about the science of 72000 nadis and 114 chakras in our psychic body.
Nadis are the pathways of the life energies and chakras are the purification and distribution centers of the life energies in our body. When the flow of the energies in the nadis and the purification and distribution processes in the chakras are perfect, we realize our divine true Self. If there is any blockage or disturbance in the nadis or in the chakras, we are disturbed and go away from our true divine Self.
Purpose of 114 chakras guided meditation, Om meditation or Vipassana meditation is to keep these nadis and chakras pure and clean so that we always remain connected with our divine self – the source of divine creative energy and pure energy of happiness. A lack of energy flow in the chakras can affect the physical, mental, psychological, emotional and spiritual health of an individual. Om has seven levels of vibrations and each vibration has its purification effect on the chakras and on the nadis, and they optimize the energy flow.
Many spiritual seekers and researchers asked me about the exact science and presence of chakras and nadis in the human body. To realize the nadis and chakras, you need deep awareness meditation. To understand the science of nadis in depth, you need a basic understanding of quantum physics, and the human nervous system.Read More »72000 Nadis and 114 Chakras in Human Body
