The Energy Centers Of The Human Body
The human body has eight energy centers, each associated with particular glands, neurocircuitry, and emotions. Painful experiences can cause a particular energy center to get stuck. Blocked energy centers obstruct the flow of energy in the body, weaken the electromagnetic field around the body, and impact health negatively.
The eight chakras (energy centers)—understanding their physiological, emotional, and energetic signature
In Indian Vedic scriptures, the energy centers of the body are called chakras (wheels). Each chakra produces its own chemical expression which activates the cells, tissue, and organs in the corresponding area. Each chakra is an individual center of information and has its own specific energy (and specific associated emotions), frequency, and level of consciousness. Each chakra also has its corresponding glands, associated hormones, and particular neurocircuitry (sort of “mini-brains” or ‘minds”). Through the autonomic nervous system (ANS) these “mini-brains” get programmed to operate subconsciously in the body.
These chakras and their corresponding glands are the inferior Mesenteric Plexus (sexual glands); Superior Mesenteric Plexus (digestive and pancreatic glands); Solar Plexus (adrenal glands); Heart Plexus (thymus gland); Thyroid Plexus (thyroid gland); Pineal Plexus (pineal gland) and Pituitary Plexus (pituitary gland). Each center governs several corresponding organs and bodily functions.
The first energy center governs reproduction, elimination, and sexuality; the correlated hormones are estrogen and progesterone (in women) and testosterone (in men). This is a center of creative energy.
The second energy center governs digestion and elimination; correlated hormones are those that balance the blood sugar level. This center represents social networks, relationships, family, and culture.
The third energy center governs the stomach, liver, gall bladder, kidneys; it is associated with adrenaline, cortisol, kidney hormones, renin, angiotensin, erythropoietin, liver enzymes, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and hydrochloric acid. This is a center of willpower, control, ego, aggression, competitiveness, and self-esteem.
The fourth energy center givens the heart, lungs, and the thymus gland (“immunity gland”); associated hormones are the growth hormone and oxytocin, but also over a thousand chemicals that stimulate the health of the immune system. This is a center of elevated emotions, such as love, selflessness, trust, care, inspiration, kindness, etc.
The fifth energy center governs the tissues of the neck, the salivary glands, the thyroid, and the parathyroid. Associated hormones are T3 and T4, as well as the parathyroid chemicals responsible for the metabolism. This is a center of expression, language, and sound.
The sixth energy center governs the pineal gland; it is associated with the hormones serotonin and melatonin. This center is linked to a state of lucidity, and to a shift in perception beyond the physical senses and tuning in to higher frequencies.
The seventh energy center is associated with the pituitary gland, which creates harmony among all the other glands in the body. This is a center of divinity which, when in balance, leads to a sense of harmony.
The eighth energy center (located ~40 cm above the head) is not associated with any region of the physical body. The activation of this center leads to deep insights and understanding, bouts of creativity and epiphanies, and access to the quantum field.
What it means to have “blocked” energy centers (or what happens when the energy gets stuck in one of the energy centers)
When we place our attention on each chakra, we direct our energy there, and these centers activate in a balanced manner. As a result, they become coherent (orderly), and their corresponding chemical expressions bring about physical health and well-being.
The events in our lives (especially the painful, stressful, and traumatic ones) can cause our energy to get stuck in one of the lower three energy centers (known as the survival centers). When this happens, our energy flow is obstructed, and it cannot reach the higher energy centers. As a result, the electromagnetic energy field around our body shrinks, our light diminishes, our personal enemy is trapped, and this lowers the frequency of the signals to the cells, tissues, organs, and systems in the body. When that happens, disease is likely to occur.
For example, if you think a thought such as “I am underpaid,” a neurological network in your brain is turned on. If you continue to think more such thoughts, more neurological networks get turned on, and they stay firing together. This activity creates in the brain’s frontal lobe a realistic inner image of yourself as an angry or frustrated person. You are likely to accept that image as a real one, and when that happens, a chemical reaction is triggered. The brain neurotransmitters begin to influence the neuropeptides (the chemical messengers created by the autonomous nervous system), which then signal the adrenal glands to release corresponding hormones. In this particular case, the release of adrenaline will make you feel even more agitated. Your third energy center becomes activated, and you start broadcasting a specific energy signature “I need another reason to feel angry.” The negative thinking-feeling loop causes you to store energy in the form of emotions in your third center of survival. This reaffirms your identity and keeps producing the same level of mind, and more of the same chemistry in the body. Your body gets emotionally conditioned into the past, and it becomes “the mind of anger.” This subconscious anger is, in fact, energy stuck in the third energy center of the body, the solar plexus. With it, many physical health problems occur, such as issues with digestion, kidneys, and the immune system.
Similarly, many people have repeated thoughts of either guilt or victimization. These thoughts also turn on particular neural networks in the brain which, when sufficiently many, create in the frontal lobe an image of a guilty person. As a result, you get more guilty thoughts, the neurotransmitters influence corresponding neuropeptides, and the second hormonal center receives a signal. In this case, your energy gets stored and stuck in your second energy center. Some physical health issues that you may begin to experience are sickness, nausea, and pain in this part of the body.
In this way, the emotion that you are most frequently and repeatedly experiencing defines the center in which most of your vital energy gets “trapped.” People who are preoccupied with their sexuality get most of their energy stored in the first energy center. Individuals troubled with thoughts of fear, guilt, sadness, shame, or low self-esteem have their energy stuck in the second energy center. Feelings of anger, frustration, aggression, and control cause the energy to be stuck in the third energy center. These three energy centers are based on survival emotions. If the three survival centers get overly stimulated at once, they claim too much of our vital energy, depriving the body of the possibility to grow, repair, heal, or create.
