The definition of the word health is freedom from disease, However health is so much more than that. Health is the presence and perfect flow of life’s energy through our body. It’s living a full and satisfying life, It’s the ability to change and feel happy.

The energy itself can be called zero point energy. It’s the energy that exists all around us although we can’t see it.

Each of us has an electromagnetic field around him, caused by the electricity in our body. Here is a short definition from Wikipedia:The electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field.
The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature.

Some call the field the aura. The aura is what helps us to feel when there is a person in a dark room with us, or to know when someone is sad without him saying so. Our aura has a structure it consists of several layers. Each layer has unique properties like color,location,lucidity and radiance.

The aura is actually created by the chakras. Chakra in Sanskrit means a wheel of light. We have seven main chakras in our body, their twirl creates the aura. The chakras are centers of energy. Below is a short description of each chakra.

In the picture to the left it’s easy to see the location of each chakra. Each chakra has a front and a back side. The front side is related to the emotions while the back side is related to the will.

Each chakra controls certain areas in the body: The first chakra controls the spine and kidneys. The second chakra controls the reproduction system. The third controls the liver, nervous system, gall bladder and the stomach.

The fourth controls the heart, blood and the vagus nerve. The fifth controls the voice, lungs, esophagus and the bronchi system. The sixth controls the lower brain, left eye, ears, nose and the nervous system. The seventh chakra controls the upper brain and the right eye.

The chakras can be open or closed. If they are opened it means that the flow of energy is in order. If a chakra is closed it means that there are psychological problems related to it, it means that the emotions, sensations and experiences that are controlled by the flow of energy through the chakra are not balanced.

There is a simple way to check how the chakras operate. Using a pendulum. It doesn’t have to be something special, you can create a pendulum by tying something small to a thread. Once you made a pendulum hold it slightly above the chakra without touching the body and empty your mind.

The pendulum should start moving: If it moves clockwise it means that the chakra is open ,if it’s counter clockwise it means it’s closed. The bigger the radius the more energy flows through it. If it doesn’t move at all it means the flow of energy is blocked, if it continues it will create a disease.

An elliptical movement of the pendulum indicates a lack of balance in the flow of energy between the left and the right side of the body, it also means that one side is stronger than the other.

The right side represents the active side, male side, aggression or the yang. The left side represents the feminine side,passiveness or the yin of personality. If the pendulum tilts to the right when moving elliptically the person will probably act too aggressively when he should be more accepting and vice versa if it tilts to the left.

If the pendulum moves vertically it means that the person is shifting the energy upwards and is avoiding personal involvement. If the pendulum moves horizontally the person repress and stifles his emotions to avoid personal involvement.

There are a few ways to improve the flow of energy through the chakras. Exercise is a great way, yoga in particular is recommended for the chakras. Here is a video of Chakra Clearing with Emotional Freedom Technique.
