The seven chakras

Chakra: (Sanskriet: ‘wiel, ‘schijf’,’cirkel’.) Term gebruikt om de centra van licht aan te duiden die zijn verankerd in het etherische lichaam en de energiestroom van de vier lagere lichamen van de mens bestuurt.

Er zijn zeven hoofdchakra’s die corresponderen met de zeven stralen, vijf kleinere chakra’s die corresponderen met de vijf geheime stralen, en een totaal van 144 lichtcentra in het lichaam van de mens.

Functions of the chakras

Djwal Kul explains the functions of the chakras:

Each of the chakras has a special function, and we shall consider these functions step by step. Each of the wheellike vortices that comprise the chakras has, according to the teachings of the masters of the Himalayas, a certain frequency that is marked by a number of petals, so-called. These petals determine the flow of the energies of God to man, and they govern certain aspects of God’s consciousness, commonly called virtues, which may be amplified within the chakras.

The chakras that are presently operative in the being of man are anchored in the lower etheric body, and their positions conform to the organs in the physical body which receive the flow of vitality from the higher bodies necessary to its functioning. These chakras are located at the base of the spine, over the spleen, over the navel, over the heart, at the throat, on the brow, and at the crown.

The placement of these chakras to correspond with nerve centers in the physical body was adjusted during the epoch of the Fall of Man. There remains, however, in the higher etheric body the line of the seven chakras as forcefields for the seven rays; and these are for the distribution in the four lower bodies of the frequencies of the seven Elohim, known as the seven Spirits of God.
