chakra test

At certain points, I like to take a chakra test to gauge where I should concentrate on my self-awareness.

Here's a short version of how emotions affect the chakras:

How emotions affect the chakras

There are emotions and states that are able to close down chakras, if they're not processed adequately. Anodea Judith calls them 'demons' in her book 'Eastern Body, Western Mind'. The demons affect the 'rights' that are associated with the chakras.

1. Root Chakra

Fear

The right to be here

2. Sacral Chakra

Guilt

The right to feel

3. Navel Chakra

Shame

The right to act

4. Heart Chakra

Sorrow

The right to love and be loved

5. Throat Chakra

Lies

The right to speak and hear truth

6. Third Eye Chakra

Illusion

The right to see

7. Crown Chakra

Attachment

The right to know

Here are the results of my test:

Root Chakra is under-active which means that I tend to feel nervous in situations.

Sacral Chakra is over-active due to me being over-emotional. I know this and I wish I can control my emotions.

Navel Chakra is open and clear sailing. I feel confident in a group setting.

Heart Chakra is also open. I am compassionate and friendly, and I work at harmonious relationships.

Throat Chakra: Open. I have no problems expressing myself, and I might be doing so as an artist. Hmmm, I think I'm border line because I don't feel that I express myself that well. I do love taking photos and it does feel good when I get a couple of awesome shots.

Third Eye: Under active. I get confused easily and have a hard time thinking for myself. This is not so far from the truth.

Crown Chakra: under-active. I'm not very aware of spirituality. It also said that I'm rigid in my thinking. I'm still confused about that statement...see I'm confused again!! I think I may be rigid due to not stepping outside of the box much.

*********************************************

The Chakra that effects me the most is the sacral chakra. This is the chakra located in your belly. Which makes total sense. I am overweight by 4o lbs so I am a emotional eater. I don't even know I eat emotionally. I would like to clear that chakra and eat food to nourish my body, not my emotions. Being over-emotional is really stressful because it controls my life. I won't even get into the way I feel during "that time" of the month. I know diet and exercise help but I still feel over-emotional when I've been trying hard in those areas. When I am in full mood swing mode at "that time" of month, I am in denial that I'm exaggerating pretty much anything. That way of thinking is getting me nowhere. I have to stop acting in denial. Maybe meditation would help. If you have any feedback on this subject, please share with me your secrets!!!
