Balancing the Chakras
Our Energy Field: Aura And Chakras
We are all aware that there is much more to our life beyond the physical body with five senses. We live in an ocean of energy. There is an energy field within and surrounding our physical body, which supplies the vital life forces that keep us alive. Although we may not be conscious or aware of their presence, these forces are fundamental to our life and consciousness. This energy field is also termed as our “Aura”. It is made up of multiple subtle energy bodies responsible for our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual life. The vital life force flowing in this energy body, called “prana” in Sanskrit, or “chi” in Chinese, is invisible to the eyes and is continuously in motion within and outside our physical body. It is that life energy which keeps the body alive and healthy.
As we become aware and sensitive of the energy field (or “Aura”) surrounding us, we evolve much beyond the limited sense of physical self. We start to understand and embrace the potential of this energy field that is subtle yet potent.
When you focus on a chakra, it is very easy to bring subtle physical energies into your consciousness.

The energy field consists of energy centres (chakras) and energy meridians or channels (nadis) that control various organs and functions of our body. Every organ, tissue and cell in our body has an “energetic” counter-part, the sum total of which is called our “etheric” body. If there is any form of blockage in the meridians or imbalance amongst these energy centres, it manifests as physical, physiological or psychological ailments. It is possible to unblock the energy channels and regain the balance in these charkas through various energy-oriented techniques.
