Location of chakras

[stiev]

Does anyone know the exact location of the main chakras on the spine? I do a style of yoga where you concentrate on the front and back of each chakra. It's not that hard to find the chakras on the front (anus, perenium, two fingers beneath the navel, centre of the chest, adam's apple, centre of the brain and crown of the head), but the exact points on the spine seem to be quite hard to find.

I found a book (by Susan Shumsky) that gives the exact vertebrae the chakras are located in, but have you ever tried to find a vertebrae? You have to feel down the spine with your fingers, counting lump by lump, and you always miss one or two. Some of them fade into each other and it's almost impossible to locate them by yourself.

Does anyone know a good way to pinpoint the exact location of chakras down the spine?

some physics can see the chakras, go to a physic expo or something like that and ask her or him to show you exactly where they are.

the internet is good in someways but it lacks touch and the other senses, if you can jump on a bus and go to a physic place and ask people who really no.

Thanks, guys. I looked at the site, AwakenedMind. It's funny. There seem to be two different systems for chakras. In the Sanskrit system, the second chakra is based in the genital area, the third chakra is in the navel, and the crown chakra is in the top of the scull. In the other system, the second chakra is based at the navel, the third is in the solar plexus, and the crown chakra is ABOVE the head.

Both these systems have the same Sanskrit names for the chakras, but the second one seems to be a western variation of the older, Vedic system.

Personally, it seems to make more sense having a chakra in the solar plexus. This area responds a lot to certain moods such as anxiety, anger, etc. It can also be hard to distinguish muladhara (anus) from swadisthana at the perenium (genital). These energies seem to merge and flow into each other, and they are so close as to make them hard to distinguish.

In the other system, the chakras are more evenly spaced apart. Does anyone know why there are two different placements for the seven main chakras?

I'm assuming that two different people have taught their different methods. Each having it's own results and the followers of that particular method believing in it.

There's also chakra systems involving 12 or 11 chakras. Some located outside the physical body.

I feel that as Humans Evolve Spiritually,  new chakras are perceived on the spinal chakral column .

As each individual develops , minor chakras are manifest on the human energy body in the limbs and in the subtle body layers . In the ancient past , five chakras were known .

In the Bible the 7 lamps are described though . And traditionally , esoteric wisdom dictates 7 .

purple core above scalp
indigo core at third eye
blue   core at mouth
green core at throat in centre of neck
yellow core at heart
orange core at belly button
red     core at genitalia


I can clairvoyantly see a large chakral centre when a sitter opens the mouth during a reading  .I feel that most images place the blue and green chakras too far south on the human body . The chakras appear spheroid , there light appears conic and will appear initially only on the front but will in time be clairvoyantly visible on the back and the flanks . This image has the green one on the heart and the blue one on the throat . I feel this is typical in graphic depiction but it is not accurate .


You can use a pendalum to determine where your chakras are . The pendalum should swing dramatically over the core of a chakra which is open .

 It is rare today to find a human who doesn't have 7 chakras open . That does not mean that all blockages are eliminated though . Older human beings born before 1948 might have been born with only 2 or 3 chakras open and would have had to work harder to open the remaining ones .

he 8th pink chakra is newly manifested. More are manifesting on those that choose to develop self spiritually and increase the light quotient of the human energy body . I believe that that there are 8 chakras on each human now and that we are beginning to develop new energy storage centres too .

The energy centres are called stones or tan tiens to feed them with energy . The three primary stones were described by medieval Hermetic alchemists and Taoist Alchemists

silver emergent
white emergent .............green heavens stone emergent



purple over the scalp .....green heavens stone emergent ~ xie spiritual energy of soul

indigo over brow centre....blue moon stone female tan tien ~ shen intuitive energy of mind
blue from nose to neck ....blue moon stone female tan tien

green from neck to heart..yellow sun stone dan tien  ~ chi vital essence of heart and spirit
yellow over heart ............yellow sun stone dan tien 

orange over belly button ...red earth stone male tan tien ~ ching sexual and generative energies of body     
red from naval to perineum red earth stone male tan tien     

pink perineum

Thanks for the great information, Hagethuriel.

You use the second system, i.e, the one where the base chakra is located in the genitals and the third chakra is in the solar plexus. In the system they use in Kundalini Yoga, the colours are the same but the third chakra is in the navel and the base chakra is in the anus (or just above it).

The pendulum is a great idea. I'll have to get a pendulum and try this. Do you know how to use them? Also, how did you develop the clairvoyant techniques you use? Did you learn them, or were you born with them?

I read somewhere that Plato wrote about the tri-colour rainbow. It said that back in Classical Greek times, people only saw three colours in the rainbow. Now we see seven so, as you say, we have developed a greater range of awareness over the years.
