The Chakras
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org, please feel free to visit the school website)
Imagine the spiral serpents, the caduceus and Kundalini force, interlocking at key chakra points. These key points are the elements, starting from the bottom and moving upward. First, at the pelvic floor is the earth/root chakra. Second, is water, found under the navel. Third, is fire, at the solar plexus. Fourth, at the heart, is air. Fifth, at the throat, is ether. The sixth chakra is our third eye. This is the core center where our Soul enters our body and vibrates rapidly into stillness. (Sills, p.23) Another key factor is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), “the all-present Life Energy Principle which has its base in the brain, spinal cord and the nervous system.” (Stone, p. 57) Something I have intuited with my own musculoskeletal issues and repatterning is that the CSF is this “all-present Life Energy.”
“The expansion and contraction of the cranial rhythm, which arises in the brain, is a harmonic of the expansion and contraction of the energy system as a whole,” Sills claims. (1985, p.127). Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy, called CSF “the highest element in the body.”
