      Introduction

      Chakras as

      Prisms of Light

      When I was a child, I saw colors. Of course, every child sees colors—noteworthy are the redness of an apple and the green of leaves. The moon is white, the sun is yellow, and everyone’s favorite jeans are denim blue. I saw colors, however, that others didn’t notice.

      I knew my mother was in a good mood when a pink haze surrounded her. My dad was happy when yellow flowed from his stomach area. When my parents were getting along, their hearts emanated green. When they were mad at each other, I hid in my room. The jagged red lightning bolts flashing between them spoke of trouble ahead.

      As I grew older, I was surprised to discover that others didn’t perceive the world with the same Crayola distinctions. I learned to ignore my oddball perceptions, although they never disappeared. Still, I always wondered about the source of these whirling and twirling movements of tints and hues, as well as the sounds, senses, and information that frequently accompanied them. These, too, were not obvious to others.

      How come certain parts of my body seemed to hum in specific tones? Why did my hands heat up when another person was sick? Why did I usually dream about my grandfather the day before he called? These anomalies weren’t addressed in school; neither were they discussed in church. My family was Norwegian Lutheran. There wasn’t a lot of thinking—or coloring—outside the lines.

      I didn’t learn about the origin of these extrasensory prisms of light, sound, and information until I was in my twenties and took my first class in energy healing. My world changed when the teacher explained chakras.

      The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk. In this most ancient of languages, the term is spelled cakra. My teacher explained how chakras have been a mainstream phenomenon in a variety of cultures. Her list included the Mayan, Aztec, Hopi, Cherokee, Celtic, Egyptian, Zulu, Sufi, Tibetan, Chinese, and—as we’ll concentrate on in this book—the Hindu culture.

      Every one of these cultures postulated the existence of subtle energy organs, also called centers or bodies. Subtle signifies the ability to operate beyond, but also through, physicality, and that was the chakras’ job: to manage all things physical, psychological, and spiritual.

      My first teacher taught the Hindu classical chakra system, which is composed of seven in-body centers, each spatially anchored in the spine and related to an endocrine gland. A unique energy called kundalini activates these centers, flushing hidden issues, emotions, and problems, but also awakening spiritual powers, thereby setting off a cascade of profoundly transformational events.

      Although body based, my teacher pointed out that every one of these chakras is also interdimensional. The vortex shape of a chakra enables it to link to various planes of reality. What enables the uniqueness of a chakra is the fact that each functions on a different vibrating band of frequency.

      And here is where my eureka moment occurred: the teacher said that each band of frequencies—or chakra—can be related to a tone, element, shape, or other quality, including a color.

      A color! Now I knew why my parents’ hearts glowed green when they bonded. Green is the color of the fourth chakra, which is based in the heart and relates to love. It made sense that their angry exchanges would spike as red. The first chakra is on the vibrational spectrum equated with red and represents passion, security, and emotions, including rage. The extrasensory colors I’d always seen, as well as the accompanying sensations or insights, hadn’t been gratuitous; they were related to the chakras.

      By the time I had completed my first class, I had fallen in love with chakras. Chakras described me to myself, but they also illuminated reality. Not only do chakras illustrate a human being (and every other living soul, for that matter), but they also showcase the innate divinity we collectively long to realize.

      Since my first introduction to these amazing subtle bodies, I’ve excitedly continued my study of and experimentation with chakras and related concepts while traveling in Asia, Northern Africa, Europe, and in the North, South, and Central Americas. I’ve nose-dived into ancient teachings, cross-cultural scriptures, and even science manuals and studies, constantly seeking to further explain these prisms of life to myself and to others. I’ve used the knowledge and concepts I’ve gathered over the decades to help nearly 60,000 clients better their lives.

      Maybe you can imagine how thrilled I am to author this book about chakras, which is part of Llewellyn’s series of little books exploring the marvels and mysteries of our world. I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible power of these energy bodies, and I want you to experience the same.

      Personally, I consciously interact with my chakras every day. As a busy mom, dog owner, businessperson, teacher, and author, they supercharge me to get everything done and enjoy my life at the same time. I completely rely on the inspiration I receive through these subtle organs and employ the techniques in the latter part of this book to keep myself healthy and happy, as well as cope with stress.

      Through my work as an intuitive and an energy healer, I employ chakra knowledge to help people accomplish the following:

      •  excavate the potential causes of life’s puzzles and predicaments

      •  bolster healing and recovery from illness, psychological wounds, problematic patterns, and other physical and mental challenges

      •  free repressed emotions

      •  express current feelings effortlessly and productively

      •  transform work into a joyful vocation

      •  solve financial and career difficulties

      •  soothe the heart and create more loving relationships

      •  attain a more constant state of peace and well-being

      •  attune to spiritual guidance

      And guess what? All the benefits on the above list—and more—are available to you, too. In short, chakra wisdom can help you live the dream, not only dream a dream.

      Toward this end, I invite you on a magical mystery tour of all things chakra, beginning with Part One. These chapters are fashioned to help you answer the basic question of what a chakra
