Chakras • crown chakra

It is located at the crown of the head. It controls and energizes the pineal gland, the brain and the entire body. It is one of the major entry points of prana. Energizing the crown chakra has the effect of energizing the whole body. It is similar to pouring water on a funnel causing the whole body to be flooded with prana. So, some healers proceed to energize the crown chakra even though the affected part is somewhere else. Malfunctioning of the crown chakra may manifest as diseases related to the pineal gland and brain. These may manifest as physical or psychological illness.

The whole body can be energised through the crown, forehead, ajna, back heart, solar plexus, navel, spleen, basic, hand, and foot chakras. An affected part can be energized directly or through the nearest chakra. Some healers may energise through a farther chakra, like the ajna or the crown chakra to treat a heart or abdominal problem. Therefore, one can deduce that there are so many possible healing techniques to treat one type of ailment. But the basic principles are the same: cleansing and energizing.

Acupuncture points and chakras are gates through which prana can easily go in and out. By energizing through the nearest chakra, the projected prana will have easy and direct access to the affected part. While energizing directly, the affected part has a filtering action on the projected prana, therefore, energizing takes more time and more prana.

In energizing the whole body, the solar plexus chakra is usually used because of its proximity to the many
important organs in the body. It is located at the center of the trunk, which contains many essential organs. When energizing the solar plexus chakra, it should be done slowly and gently. Too much and too intense energizing can cause difficulty in breathing.
