Introduction: The Chakras are located up the body as can be seen in the picture below. These are tuned to certain points within the body and are a link to achieving a higher vibration of the entire system. If any one of these are "blocked" for any reason (and there are many reasons), only partial clearing will be accomplished, if at all. Achieving a higher vibration of one's system is important in that such a vibration elevation will move one to the "next level" of achievement of the inner spirit while in the earthly body, aligning and moving the spirit closer to The Creator - to be in "oneness" with The Creator. This is not meant to be an all-encompassing dissertation on the Chakras, but will give one an idea and perhaps a direction.

The Seventh Chakra or Crown chakra is located at the top of the head. It externalizes as the pineal gland and governs the upper brain and right eye. Through this chakra one may ultimately reach the feeling of integration with God. Its color is seen as violet or sometimes the combination of all colors: white light. The Sixth Chakra or third eye is located in the center of the forehead. It externalizes as the pituitary gland, governing the lower brain and nervous system, the ears, nose and the left eye, the eye of personality. Through this center we consider our spiritual nature. It is seen as the color indigo - a vibrant combination of red and blue. The Fifth Chakra or throat area externalizes as the thyroid gland, and governs the lungs, vocal cords, bronchial apparatus, and metabolism. The center of expression, communication and judgment. It is seen as the color blue. The Fourth Chakra is the heart, it externalizes as the thymus gland governing the heart, blood, and circulatory system and influences the immune and endocrine systems. This is the center through which we love. It is the color green. The Third Chakra is located in the solar plexus externalizing as the pancreas, governs the action of the spleen, gall bladder, and aspects of the nervous system. It is the clearinghouse for emotional sensitivities and issues of personal power. It is the color yellow.
