I
decided
to
blog
about
Chakras
today,
take
it
for
what
it
is
worth
to
you...
Chakra
is
a
concept
referring
to
wheel-like
vortices
which,
according
to
traditional
Indian
medicine,
are
believed
to
exist
in
the
surface
of
the
subtle
body
of
living
beings.[2]
The
Chakras
are
said
to
be
"force
centers"
or
whorls
of
energy
permeating,
from
a
point
on
the
physical
body,
the
layers
of
the
subtle
bodies
in
an
ever-increasing
fan-shaped
formation.
Rotating
vortices
of
subtle
matter,
they
are
considered
the
focal
points
for
the
reception
and
transmission
of
energies.[3]
Different
systems
posit
a
varying
number
of
chakras;
the
most
well
known
system
in
the
West
is
that
of
seven
chakras.

Minor
chakras
In
addition
to
the
7
major
chakras,
there
are
a
number
of
other
chakras
which
have
importance
within
different
systems.
For
example,
Woodroffe
describes
7
head
chakras
(including
Ajna
and
Sahasrara)
in
his
other
Indian
text
sources.
Lowest
to
highest
they
are:
Talu/Talana/Lalana,
Ajna,
Manas,
Soma,
Brahmarandra,
Sri
(inside
Sahasrara),
Sahasrara.
In
addition,
the
chakra
Hrit
known
as
the
wish-fulfilling
tree
is
often
included
below
the
heart,
which
may
be
the
same
as
a
chakra
known
as
Surya
located
at
the
solar
plexus.
Some
models
also
have
a
series
of
7
lower
chakras
below
muladhara
that
go
down
the
legs.
Hrit
chakra
or
Surya
chakra
This
chakra
is
a
minor
chakra
located
just
below
the
heart
at
the
solar
plexus,
and
is
known
as
the
wish-fulfilling
tree.
Here,
the
ability
to
determine
your
destiny
becomes
a
reality.
It
is
also
known
as
the
Surya
chakra.[33]
It
supports
the
actions
of
Manipura
chakra
by
providing
it
with
the
element
of
heat,
and
is
responsible
for
absorbing
energy
from
the
sun.
In
Tibetan
buddhism,
a
similar
chakra
called
the
Fire
Wheel
is
included
in
the
scheme,
but
this
is
located
above
the
heart
and
below
the
throat.
Lalana/Talumula
A
chakra
known
as
Lalana
is
situated
in
one
of
two
places,
either
in
the
roof
of
the
mouth,
between
Visuddhi
and
Ajna,
or
on
the
forehead,
above
Ajna.
The
Lalana
chakra
on
the
roof
of
the
mouth
is
related
to
Bindu
and
Vishuddhi.
When
the
nectar
amrit
trickles
down
from
Bindu,
it
is
stored
in
lalana.
This
nectar
can
fall
down
to
Manipura
and
be
burned
up,
causing
gradual
degeneration,
or
through
certain
practices
it
can
be
passed
to
Visuddhi
and
purified,
becoming
a
nectar
of
immortality.
Manas
A
chakra
known
as
Manas
(mind)
is
located
either
between
the
navel
and
the
heart,
close
to
Surya,
or
is
located
above
Ajna
on
the
forehead.
The
version
on
the
forehead
has
6
petals,
connected
to
the
5
sense
objects
plus
the
mind.
In
Tibetan
buddhism,
the
chakra
located
on
the
forehead
is
called
the
Wind
wheel,
and
has
6
spokes.
Bindu
Visarga/Indu/Chandra
Bindu
visarga,
is
located
either
at
the
top
back
of
the
head,
where
some
Brahmins
leave
a
tuft
of
hair
growing,
or
in
the
middle
forehead.
It
is
symbolised
by
a
crescent
moon.
This
chakra
secretes
an
ambrosial
fluid,
amrit,
and
is
the
seat
of
the
white
bindu
(compare
with
the
white
bodhicitta
drop
in
the
crown
chakra
in
the
Vajrayana
system).
Brahmarandra/Nirvana
In
some
systems,
Sahasrara
is
the
chakra
that
is
on
the
crown
of
the
head.
However,
other
systems,
such
as
that
expounded
by
Shri
Aurobindo,
state
that
the
real
Sahasrara
is
located
some
way
above
the
top
of
the
head,
and
that
the
crown
chakra
is
in
fact
Brahmarandra,
a
sort
of
secondary
Sahasrara
with
100
white
petals.
Shri/Guru
This
is
a
minor
chakra
located
slightly
above
the
top
of
the
head.
It
is
an
upward
facing
12
petalled
lotus,
and
it
is
associated
with
the
Guru,
that
higher
force
that
guides
us
through
our
spiritual
journey.
Lower
chakras
There
are
said
to
be
a
series
of
seven
chakras
below
muladhara
going
down
the
leg,[34]
corresponding
the
base
animal
instincts,
and
to
the
Hindu
underworld
patala.
They
are
called
atala,
vitala,
sutala,
talatala,
rasatala,
mahatala
and
patala.
Atala
This
chakra
is
located
in
the
hips,
it
governs
fear
and
lust.
Vitala
Located
in
the
thighs,
it
governs
anger
and
resentment.
Sutala
Located
in
the
knees,
it
governs
jealousy.
Talatala
Translated
as
'under
the
bottom
level',
it
is
located
in
the
calves,
and
it
is
a
state
of
prolonged
confusion
and
instinctive
wilfulness.
Rasatala
Located
in
the
ankles,
it
is
the
centre
of
selfishness
and
pure
animal
nature.
Mahatala
Located
in
the
feet,
this
is
the
dark
realm
'without
conscience',
and
inner
blindness.
Patala
Located
in
the
soles
of
the
feet,
this
is
the
realm
of
malice,
murder,
torture
and
hatred,
and
in
Hindu
mythology
it
borders
on
the
realm
of
Naraka,
or
Hell.
Others
There
are
said
to
be
21
minor
chakras
which
are
reflected
points
of
the
major
chakras.
These
21
are
further
grouped
into
10
bilateral
minor
chakras
that
correspond
to
the
foot,
hand,
knee,
elbow,
groin,
clavicular,
navel,
shoulder
and
ear.
The
spleen
may
also
be
classified
as
a
minor
chakra
by
some
authorities
despite
not
having
an
associated
coupled
minor
chakra.
