Traditional medicines from all over the world devote attention to the energy fields of the human body. Chinese acupuncture combined with Indian chakra healing provides a dual path to physical and spiritual health. In Indian medicine the chakras are places in the body that are crucial to the free flow of energies. The word chakra is a Sanskrit term that means wheel of light. These two alternative therapies can also be combined with aromatherapy, which provides this path to health with a third dimension.
The human body comprises numerous chakras, or energy foci. Indian medicine recognises seven key points that correspond closely to the key organs that are central in Chinese traditional healing. For example, the spleen and liver in Chinese medicine correlate with the fourth chakra in Indian medicine. The principal chakras run down the center line of the body, parallel to the spine. They are (in order from the head to the groin) the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, spleen and root chakras. The chakras are physical manifestations of spiritual energies. Each chakra is linked to different aspects of consciousness and different spiritual potencies. The second chakra is associated with sexual vitality and the life force, the third with personal spiritual power and the fifth with creativity, for example.
The chakras are not only concerned with the flow of energy in the body but also with mediating positive and negative energy from the surrounding environment, that affects physical, emotional and spiritual health. Chakra imbalances are caused by stress, illness, poor nutrition and social and spiritual problems, amongst other things. Similarly to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is concerned both with energy locations and the flow of energy, or qi, along channels or meridians. Yin and yang are the positive and negative forces of qi. Both acupuncture and the chakra circulatory system aim to restore balance, to release energy blockages and boost qi.
The combination of these two healing systems and philosophies enhances their efficacy. Acupuncture is the traditional Chinese way of freeing the flux of energies. Chakra healing offers a complementary perspective on where those blockages occur and where treatment can most effectively be applied.
The philosophy of aromatherapy, using essential oils, complements Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine still further. The oil can be inhaled, applied to the hands or feet, matched to the particular chakra that needs re-balancing or simply placed within the patients energy field. The specific oil used may also be chosen according to principles of color therapy, with different colors corresponding to different chakras and their particular energies. Different oils also have differing energizing effects.
Chakra healing with acupuncture and aromatherapy brings together different but complementary systems of healing to improve diagnosis and maximize the effects of treatment, without recourse to drugs. It is a holistic way of restoring physical function as well as emotional and spiritual equilibrium.
