What is your technique for working with them at the moment?RyukaAscendant wrote:In other news I'm still trying to open the 8 chakras on my back when I connect to both the highest and lowest chakra I can outside of my body. It's rather difficult though to get them to open until I have a purpose though. It used to be so much easier, *sigh* that's what I get for falling out of practice.
In my experience, chakras don't really need to be 'opened' -- just kept cleaned out and balanced.
Maybe you mean something similar by 'getting them open'?
If you're familiar with the microcosmic orbit, that will help with the common chakras, but there is also the macrocosmic orbit:
Polaris (the north star) and the Big Dipper are symbols for the higher chakra, and the swirl is a symbol for the lower one.
The reason you can't open them until you have a 'purpose' is that the Mind moves energy. Intention is energy moving at the direction of Mind. Circulation and Cultivation are also very good intentions, which allow energy to begin moving. "Chakra" means something like "Vortex", and the main characteristics of a Vortex is movement.
