What is a Chakra?

A chakra is a spinning vortice of energy, also referred to as a wheel or sphere of light, that exists within you. It forms part of an ancient metaphysical system that helps you to understand your life energy as part of your multidimensional self or energetic being.

Your thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, beliefs and actions all influence the energy of your chakras, which in turn influence your health and vitality. The chakras can be compared to a computer; together they form the hard drive and individually they are like computer back-up disks: they contain and hold certain information of your journey through life.

There are seven major chakras within our bodies. Each chakra vibrates at a certain frequency, is represented by a colour, is related to a certain endocrine gland and is concerned with certain physical, emotional, mental and spiritual issues.

Spiritual Truth

LOVE IS THE ONLY REALITY

The colour-coded way
you walk a classical labyrinth:

YELLOW
ORANGE
RED
GREEN
PURPLE
INDIGO
BLUE
(MAGENTA)

If you walk a classical 7-circuit labyrinth, the following pattern emerges:
3-2-1-4-7-6-5-(8)

If you work with the chakras, it indicates that you go through the heart (4) from the material world (1, 2, 3) to the spiritual world (5, 6, 7). The heart is in the centre. This strengthens the knowing that love is all there is. Love is the only truth, the only reality, the only power. Love is eternal.

If you draw lines in the sequence that you walk the labyrinth; that is 3-2-1-4-7-6-5, it forms what looks like a cup. This cup, some say, relates to the Holy Grail and its secret knowledge. The wisdom lies within.

Your heart is known by the path you walk.
