Understanding the Chakras:
An Insight to the Complexity of being Human.
The chakra system is a theoretical model interpreted as a transformer of energy. Compared to electrical transformers, these energy portals collect the energy that flows into our bodies, and processes and transform electrical frequencies into sensations – what we experience as thinking and feeling. By understanding these energy portals, we bring consciousness to the complexity of our identities and gain insight into our true selves.
The chakra system offers seven basic "Chakra identities" which can be seen as metaphoric layers covering our true Selves - our Essence. Anodea Judith, author of "Eastern Body, Western Mind", offers a unique understanding of the chakra teachings and clear application for the western mind.

Human Development and the Chakra Centers
Everything in our universe is subject to specific rhythms and cycles. Rhythmic
laws can be seen everywhere - in our heartbeat and in respiration, in the alternation of day and night, and in the coming and going of the seasons. Cycles also repeat themselves in the development of living creatures. A certain sequence of stages is always maintained, therefore, it is logical that our human development also develops according to a certain sequence.
The knowledge of the functions and purpose of the chakra system can guide us in understanding our human development. It is believed that we pass through a chakra every seven years, starting with the root center, and the characteristics of the chakra in question become the base theme of our lives for the seven-year period. The seven-year period, however, is also divided up again into seven one-year periods, each corresponding to one of the seven chakras and starting out with the root center.
Each year, a new theme awaits us, and every seven years, a new base theme.
Knowledge of the significance and purpose of each chakra can help us to understanding and optimize our human development.
Sharamon and Beginski, "The Chakra-Handbook", summarize a basic understanding and practical application of the cycles of human development in light of the chakras. The summarized tables reveal what we can expect to experience (each year) and the influences we may be susceptible to, in the light of the chakra energies.
