Energy Centers - Matt1 - 07-07-2014 I will share some findings about the energy centers in different systems. It seems that every religion has the esoteric knowledge. Most people simply associate energy centers with Hindu and new age traditions. Law of One Quote:15.12 ↥ Questioner: How does an individual go about balancing himself? What is the first step? Hindu and kundalini Quote:In Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions and other belief systems chakras are energy points or knots in the subtle body. They are located at the physical counterparts of the major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. Chakras are part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels, called nadiis. Nadiis are channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana), or vital energy moves. Various scriptural texts and teachings present a different number of chakras. There are many chakras in the subtle human body according to the tantric texts, but there are 7 chakras that are considered to be the most important ones. Buddhism and tummo Quote:Tummo (Tibetan: gtum-mo; Sanskrit: caṇḍālī) is a form of breathing, found in the Six Yogas of Naropa,[1] Lamdre, Kalachakra and Anuyoga teachings of Tibetan Vajrayana. Sufi and Lataif Quote:al-Laṭaʾif as-sitta ("the six subtleties" singular: latifa) are psychospiritual "organs" or, sometimes, faculties of sensory and suprasensory perception in Sufi psychology, and are explained here according to the usage amongst certain Sufi groups (key terms in this article are taken from the Urdu, rather than the original Arabic). These six subtleties are thought to be parts of the self in a similar manner to the way glands and organs are part of the body. Drawing from the Qur'an, many Sufis distinguish Nafs, Qalb, Sirr, Ruh, Khafi, and Akhfa as the six laṭaʾif. Tao and the practice of microcosmic orbit Quote:Dantian, dan t'ian, dan tien or tan t'ien is loosely translated as "elixir field", "sea of qi", or simply "energy center". Dantians are important focal points for meditative and exercise techniques such as qigong, martial arts such as t'ai chi ch'uan, and in traditional Chinese medicine.[1][2] Judaism and the kabbalah. Quote:Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה, literally "receiving/tradition" (also transliterated Cabala, Qabbālâ etc.; different transliterations now tend to denote alternative traditions[1])) is an esoteric method, discipline, and school of thought that originated in Judaism. A traditional Kabbalist in Judaism is called a Mekubal (Hebrew: מְקוּבָל). Christianity (Although the most subtle and hidden of all major Religions) Quote:The Seven Churches of Revelation, also known as The Seven Churches of the Apocalypse and The Seven Churches of Asia (referring to the Roman province of Asia, not the entire continent), are seven major churches of Early Christianity, as mentioned in the New Testament Book of Revelation. In Revelation, on the Greek island of Patmos, Jesus Christ instructs his servant John of Patmos to: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."[1] Quote:The Seven Seals is a phrase in the Book of Revelation that refers to seven symbolic seals that secure the book or scroll, that John of Patmos saw in his Revelation of Jesus Christ. The opening of the seals of the Apocalyptic document occurs in Revelation Chapters 5-8. In John's vision, the only one worthy to open the book is referred to as both the "Lion of Judah" and the "Lamb having seven horns and seven eyes" It would seem that Asia has a much more open system of teachings regarding the chakras. The technique seems to be fairly similar in all traditions it can be summed up as the visualization of energy centers and path ways to move cosmic energy up and down the spine. This energy has been called Prana in Hinduism, Chi in Tao and Lung in Tibetan Buddhism. RE: Energy Centers - Plenum - 07-08-2014 yeah, something so fundamental is going to be rediscovered in many ways. other systems have more than 7 primary energy centres?

Dantien are storage (3 banks) rather than transformer/distribution centers like chakras. Prana runs through Nadis, Chi runs through Meridians. Nadis are not Meridians. There is a ton of confusion out there, and very few sources that go into fine detail. (07-08-2014, 05:41 AM)Bring4th_Plenum Wrote: other systems have more than 7 primary energy centres? Look at it as 7 "common", which are the basic "needs". There are subchakras that are fairly important to the evolving/awakening individual that can begin to activate. Some systems simply include those chakras above the mains, which do not directly deal with the physical. RE: Energy Centers - Matt1 - 07-08-2014 I would say the basic system is the same through out all of them. There might be some differences sure but over all its very very similar. if you look at kundalini practice and the practice of the Tao Micro cosmic orbit its the same idea going. RE: Energy Centers - Unbound - 07-08-2014 These techniques are relevant to one core concept - energy circulation. Through circulations of energy, the system is stabilized through equal energy distribution resulting in "crystallization" and balancing. The reason the techniques all have similarities is because each culture has created a system which can "cover the whole system". Since the spine is the basis of all fundamental movement of energy in the body, it makes sense that it would become the World Tree around which everything revolves (circulates). RE: Energy Centers - Adonai One - 07-08-2014 I have found the tangible "chakras" just to be nervous system responses. The actual "energy" flow has been seen to be a complex web, by myself, that I can only compare to a Sun with varying densities of heat. The red-ray enters through the outer-edges, primarily through the legs, and depending on how accepting you are, this energy transmutes through all the colors into pure white light at the core center of the spirit. Once one has accepted living completely, red disappears from the aura. Once one has accepted oneself completely, orange disappears from the aura. Once one has accepted what goes against oneself, yellow disappears from the aura. Once one has accepted what goes against oneself as the self, green disappears from the aura. (Difficult) Once one has accepted what everything wants completely, blue disappears from the aura. (Even more difficult) Once one has accepted as everything inherently complete, indigo disappears from the aura. (Not until the last days of your soul) Once one has become everything, violet disappears from the aura until there is no more aura and there is only light. |
