Unlocking the Mysteries of Chakra Closure: Spiritual Ascension and Life Energy

Chakras, the mysterious energy centers in the spine and astral body, have long fascinated yogis and spiritual seekers. These energy centers are vital pathways through which divine life energy, known as Prana, flows through the body, enhancing spiritual and physical well-being. Understanding how to close, balance, and seal chakras is a complex and essential practice in spiritual ascension.

The Location and Function of Chakras

The seven main chakras are located along the spine and in the brain, corresponding to the nerve plexus of the physical body. They are not part of the physical body but rather the astral body, the electrical system governing the physical body. Prana, the life energy, enters the body at the medulla oblongata, the junction of the back of the neck and the head. This energy then travels to the brain and down the astral spine, distributing to all parts of the body through these chakras.

Advanced yogis can reverse the flow of Prana, channeling it upwards instead of downwards. This process is known as spiritual ascension and is characterized by awakening the consciousness at each chakra. For example, the heart chakra is the center of divine love, the cervical chakra is the center of calmness and expansion of consciousness, and the spiritual eye is the center of divine joy.

The Spinal Path to Divine Awakening

The spine is often referred to as the "highway to the infinite," a term coined by Paramhansa Yogananda, a renowned spiritual teacher and author. The Bible also calls the spine the "tree of life," a reference to the importance and vital nature of the chakras. The ultimate goal is to direct Prana to enter a special nadi called the sushumna, which runs up the spine, beginning a journey that opens each chakra one by one.

Revelations 1: 19–20 states, “These [chakras] are known to the yogis and to Saint John - who described them in the Biblical book of Revelation as the seven seals, the seven stars, and seven churches with their seven angels and seven golden candlesticks.”

The Role of Lower and Upper Chakras

According to Yogic teachings, rather than the modern New Age feel-good misinterpretations, the lower three chakras are always open. They maintain your emotional and physical energy, and your spiritual ignorance. It is not possible to open, balance, or close them. They remain as they are.

The upper four chakras are closed and remain so because your soul keeps them closed for your protection. As you develop your spirituality, wisdom, self-mastery, egolessness, and compassion over countless lifetimes, the chakras will open one-by-one as a result of your growth. It is essential to be aware of these truths to avoid being misled by modern mumblejumble.

Conclusion

Understanding the principles of chakra closure is crucial for spiritual ascension and harnessing the power of life energy. It is important to seek knowledge from genuine and ancient teachings and not fall for modern misinterpretations. By following the wisdom passed down through centuries, you can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
