Understanding Energy and Chakras
Each major chakra is connected to: A MAJOR NERVE PLEXUS & ONE OR MORE ENDOCRINE GLAND(S)
The 7 major chakras are each associated energetically with a major nerve plexus, a major endocrine gland, and various internal organs and physiologic processes. The major endocrine glands which secrete hormones then connect to the brain via the vagus nerve.
Western Origins of the 7 Chakra System
Acknowledging John Woodruff: Pioneering the Way for Eastern Philosophy
The 7 major chakras discussed in general are energy points that run vertically from the top of your head and down your spine. Depending upon the particular system someone utilizes to classify the different frequencies, there are 7, 8, 12, or 13 major chakras. There have been over 88,000 minor chakras reported in the literature scattered throughout the body. In this book, I focus on the 7 major chakra system that was first introduced to western society in The Serpent Power by John Woodroff. Woodroff translated two classical Indian texts into English in his book.

A chakra is a wheel-like vortex spinning in a circular direction at distinct points of our body. This forms a vacuum in the center of the energy center that draws in energy at a vibratory level. THIS VACUUM CAN DRAW IN MICROWAVES, ENERGY AND EMOTIONS.

Light & Color

Understanding and balancing our energy centers allow us as individuals to become more in tune with ourselves and with others on multiple levels. In order to be properly understood, chakras are a concept that needs to be approached both scientifically and spiritually-not just one or the other, because when you combine these two perspectives is when the true realization hits you. As such, understanding the basics of light and color is fundamental to learning about chakras.
Understanding Light
Understanding Light
When you take pure light and shine it through a prism, the light will break into a spectrum of 7 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). This spectrum is familiarly recognized as the spectrum of the rainbow and serves as the foundation of every visible color.
Color and Frequency
Absence of Light Stimulates Melatonin
Understanding Light
Each color has its own vibration. Red has the longest wavelength and the slowest vibrational frequency. In western medicine and the field of psychology, red is often associated with being warm and stimulating.

Violet is Calming. Violet is on the upper end of the spectrum and correspondingly has the shortest wavelength and the highest vibrational frequency. We often recognize violet to be cool and calming. There are frequency changes in the wavelengths of light from red to violet that account for the spectrum of colors that we can see.

In modern science, we’ve learned that certain colors can stimulate mental activity, and other colors can calm the mind. Modern science recognizes that we need light energy for nourishing our brain (the absence of light stimulates melatonin production, making us sleepy), emotions (Harvard provides UV lamps to dorm rooms of students who experience seasonal depression), and the physical body (our body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight).

Electromagnetic Waves Are Measured in Thz
Whereas visible light is only light that can be processed by the retina and that the eye can see, electromagnetic radiation is all of the particles and waves that make up all of our reality. In essence, electromagnetic energy can be conceptualized as very dense particles of light energy that manifest in a multitude of ways.
When using an EMF detector to measure electromagnetic energy, the data is often collected in the unit of measure known as a terahertz (THz). 1 THz is equivalent to 10^12 hertz.
In the same way that Steve Jobs created the iPhone to function in response to the electromagnetic waves emitted from our fingertips, we now have the technology to detect chakras using an electromagnetic frequency (EMF) detector.

YIN AND YANG IN RELATION TO CHAKRAS
IN WHICH DIRECTION DO CHAKRAS ROTATE?
These circular energy centers are in constant motion, rotating, as they receive and radiate energy at specific frequencies.They rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on whether it’s male or female energy that’s driving it. So, when a chakra in a person with predominantly male energy is rotating clockwise, the same chakra in a person with predominantly female energy will rotate counter-clockwise and vice versa. This enables the energies of opposite sexes to compliment each other.
Yang=clockwise rotation=male energy
Yin=counterclockwise rotation=female energy
In western medicine, the scientific term given to the relationship of mind and body is allostasis. The mind alone cannot nurture your whole being, nor can a proper food diet solve all of your physical and mental ailments. It is through a balanced chakra system that you can achieve a harmonious and balanced existence, and thereby achieve a healthier state of consciousness.
A Spiritual Perspective on Light
Light is referenced divinely in all world cultures
Some say that light was the first thing to be created in the Universe

If we look at this world’s ancient history, we can see references to light in almost every ancient culture. In ancient texts, although the understanding of light is depicted in a multitude of ways, light is never spoken of purely scientifically as being an electromagnetic manifestation of the third dimension. Instead, light itself is always depicted as being intimately connected to the creation of our reality.

In biblical texts and in Egyptian culture, second only to sound, light is the first thing that was created in the creation of everything. Any of the words attributed to cosmic consciousness such as God, the Universe, Allah, Source and Brahma, is essentially, “light”.
We Are All Light Beings
In human culture, God and spirit are often equated to light, and some of you may be familiar with the spiritual concept that we as humans are essentially beings of light. Based on our thoughts, day to day choices and actions, and the degree to which we choose to limit our perspective by illusion or choose to broaden our thinking from awareness, we can prevent or allow ourselves to be a living embodiment of the light being that we are at our core - our highest vibrational state.
Effects of Living in Fear and Worry
Worry, fear, disease, argument and frustration keep you at a lower vibrational state. Health, joy, abundance, love, and self-expression are healthy modes of being that are also in line with a higher vibrational state of being.
