9. What are the chakras?
Steve ~ Thomas, can you tell us about the chakras in the body?
Thomas ~ There are different points within the human body. They have the ability to open up and allow more Light to come in or to come through you. Frequently with humans the chakras get bogged down or blocked, simply by living day to day and being caught up in being human and not paying attention to them. So, it’s helpful to periodically focus on them, do a clearing on them. Then letting them open and bring more Light in. It can really help you advance.
Steve ~ For someone listening to this, why don’t you talk about where the chakras are and how they would clear them.
Thomas ~ There are a few basic ones that all humans agree upon that exist. At the top of your head, your throat, your stomach, your heart but, there is really over thirty. To clear them, if you sit quietly and close your eyes and focus on one at a time. Picture it being cleaned off, dusted away, cleared and then the Light becoming brighter in it. And you will see and feel how that responds in the body. What you notice from that. Then do each of them in turn. Sometimes, if you haven’t done it before and you don’t feel it’s working. You can go to…there are several people specialize in doing this and helping (clear your chakras). So, you can go to them and ask for help.
Steve ~ Reiki Masters.
Thomas ~ Yes, Reiki Masters. They can help you do it. Your guides can help you do it. Often times though, if it needs to be done, you’re going to have difficulty connecting with your guides. Once you do they can help a lot but it can be very difficult to make that happen. Going outside (to a Reiki Master) at least until you get them all cleared. You know what it feels like. What to expect. Then you’re more able to do it yourself. Or to call your guides in to help.
Alison ~ So, you don’t need to know where all thirty are?
Thomas ~ No.
Alison ~ Cause I would need you to draw a chart. (laughter) Cause we have them above our body, through our body and below in a vertical. But then also, the field goes out horizontally too, right?
Thomas ~ Yes, and if you sit and just quietly imagine. Ask your body where they are. You may hear an answer from your body, but you will feel parts of your body heat up. Like, your elbow may seem very, very warm to you. You’ll know that’s a center for you. Cause your body will tell you. If you ask, your body will respond and tell you where they are.
Steve ~ Do the chakras have different functions? Is it important to know what those are?
Thomas ~ Basically, they affect the area that is closest to them. So, your throat would affect your speech. Being able to communicate. So, if you open that your words will flow more smoothly. That’s how they act. They affect the area immediately around them.
Steve ~ What about the crown chakra, what does that do?
Thomas ~ It affects what’s above you. It calls it in. And what is above you, is your guides. They’re there watching and waiting. So, you’re calling them in. You’re calling the Light.
Steve ~ I know when I call in energy, I feel it come in through my crown. And what about the third eye chakra?
Thomas ~ That opens you up. It increases your intuition. You see and understand a lot more.
Alison ~ I feel that and to me the crown is also the higher self?
Thomas ~ Yes.
Alison ~ And then third eye is a little ore like sight. It enables you to see what is there.
Steve ~ I often feel energy in my third eye.
Thomas ~ Something you should be looking at.
Steve ~ In addition to the chakras, we also have our aura, our etheric body, the elemental body, the physical body, can you talk about those?
Thomas ~ It’s all energy. You are composed of energy. And it’s constantly changing. Energy is always in motion. Your aura, it reflects, really on an emotional level, what your energy is doing. If you are very upset about something. It’s going to be dark. But if you’re feeling very connected and relaxed and happy, it will be more golden, more peaceful. And it changes as you do.
Steve ~ So, it’s like a mood ring!
Thomas ~ Exactly! (laughter)
Alison ~ And you can see it on people. Sometimes you can almost sense and see it on people.
Thomas ~ Yes. You do that. Everyone does that without realizing it. In a crowd, you can definitely tell when someone is really angry. You can sense it before they even speak or anything. You will sense that energy coming off of them.
Steve ~ What about the other types of bodies that we have? Is it important to know about them?
Thomas ~ Not really because, they’re all energy. They are all working together. And they’re all making you, you. But you is not a rigid being. You change. You’re not the same as you were last week. Or ten years ago. You’re constantly changing. And that’s what helps you to do it.
Alison ~ I know for myself and a lot of other people are this way and maybe everyone. The greatest pick me up is to be out in nature. So, I feel like to go outside and to be in nature helps my body adjust, clear energy.
Thomas ~ Yes. Can you talk about that or why that is?
Thomas ~ One thing, nature will almost attack negative energy. So, if you go out in nature and you’re feeling very upset something. Nature herself is going to come at you and clear that away from you. And heal you.
Alison ~ That’s why to me, walking in the woods or walking to a body of water if you can is very healing, clearing.
Thomas ~ Nature loves it when things flow. So, when she sees something that isn’t. She rushes in to fix that. It’s very healing, very energizing.
Steve ~ There was a two- or three-year period where I went to see two Reiki Masters. They would work on me for about an hour. During that hour, all three of us would see different things in our minds. Different guides or different scenes. It was very interesting. At the end of each hour, we would sit there and tell each other what we saw. Can you talk about what that was?
Thomas ~ When you’re doing that. You’re allowing someone else to move your energy around. It requires no effort on your part. So, you are able to experience, whatever energy chooses to bring into you. By them doing it, they experience because, by moving your energy. It changes your energy. So, you all become more open and receptive. You’re able to receive the gifts of experiencing.
Steve ~ I really enjoyed that.
Thomas ~ Like a mini vacation.
Alison ~ They offer it in some hospitals before surgery.
Thomas ~ The overall medical profession is becoming more open to it. We are seeing more and more; they are making it a part of their offerings. They’re starting to admit that it works. It changes things.
Alison ~ Thank you Thomas!
Steve ~ Thank you!
Thomas ~ You're welcome!
