DEFINING HAPPINESS --- BY THE ROLE OF EACH CHAKRA

Chakras are the energy centres of the body

they are like funnels connecting the filament to the source 

each colour represents a different type of energy

the amalgamation of all creates a healthy , bright body

We cannot define light unless we know darkness...We cannot respect good health unless we know illness. ... Similarly  to find happiness, we usually need to experience unhappiness.

Happiness is unique to each individual. Though our society defines happiness in terms of money and success it has been found by experience that people who are rich ore successful are not necessarily happier than those who are not. Each set of circumstances brings its own set of problems and happiness is derived from attaining a balance between the negative and positive.

There can be no generalized definition of happiness. When we standardize happiness ,we start thinking like robots and become mechanical in approach. Souls come on earth to experience happiness but each has a unique definition of what constitutes happiness. For example, for one person the image of happiness may appear as realizing one’s talents while for another happiness may mean having a surfeit of consumer goods.

Happiness is a feeling of being positive given a

set of circumstances.

Happiness, love and peace are one of the higher vibrations of human existence and were not pursued by our animal ancestors. While animal thinking remained centred on the lower vibrations of experience like food clothing and shelter human beings evolved to deepen the experience of life by pursuing happiness.

Everything that human beings do is to achieve happiness.

The soul incarnates in a human body to convert negative energy into positive. The physical body is the channel or the vehicle of the soul in which its sits top move towards achieving its life purpose. The physical body can be compared to a funnel or a torch while the soul is the battery or the life force. The soul needs the physical body to radiate light.

It can also be called that the body is a car and the soul is the owner of the car . The  mind is called the driver of the car and a soul ,mind body integration is needed to achieve happiness.

The physical body is made around energy centres or chakras. When all the chakras are functioning optimally the soul is said to be moving towards a desired level of happiness .

There are seven main chakras in the body and each denotes a particular level of happiness. Happiness is attained when all that each chakra signifies is attained.

For example the root chakra is the base chakra . It is situated in the lowest tip of the spine and is red in colur. It signifies basic needs of security , food and shelter are met . If this chakra is well balanced the person has the happiness that s/he is secure and safe.

The second chakra or the sacral chakra  is the centre for sex and work related issues. It is sirtuated around the navel and is orange.If this chakra is activated it means that the person’s sexual and work life are well balanced. The person is happy with his sex life and his professional work performance.

The third chakras is the Solar plexus. It is the centre for power and respect. It is situated above the stomach and is yellow.  If the solar plexus is well balanced the person feels powerful and respected. S/he is happy in terms of having power and respect .

The fourth chakra is the heart chakra. It is green in colur and situated in the chest. It is the centre for love. If this chakra is well balanced the person can give and receive love easily. This person is happy as s/he feels loved and can emote love without fear of betrayal . If there is betrayal this chakra gets damaged and has to be healed for the person to be able to receive love again .

The fifth chakras is the throat chakra. It is blue and is the centre for communication. If this chakra is well balanced the person can speak his mind easily. This person feels good while talking and expressing himself. If the person is rebuked for talking freely this chakra gets damaged and has to be balanced again for communication to flow smoothly.

The sixth chakra is the Third eye chakra. It is indigo and is the centre for intuition creativity and imagination. If this chakra is well balanced  the person is aware of his/her life purpose and receives guidance from God and angels frequently. This person feels happy as he feels spiritually connected and his life appears meaningful as s/he pursues the path pouf the soul. If the person loses this balance he may become insane or mad  too rational or too psychic and may not achieve the required material/ spiritual balance needed to be happy.

The seventh chakra is the CROWN chakra. It is violet and is the chakra which connects us to our Higher Self and God. When the crown chakra is well balanced the person always feels connected to god and never feels alone in the world. S/he has the security That God is there to support . When this chakra is damaged the person feels dead and negative. He feels disconnected with God and his own life force and may even feel suicidal often.

Animals are centred around the lower three chakras . The higher chakras make the soul human from being animal like.

A human being centred around food, clothing, sex , work and power largely remains in animal consciousness whereas a human soul who realizes love, meaningful communication , a connection To one's innate soul sense and To God moves towards human consciousness and the spiritual  Till now Earth being a  planet of 2-3 dimension in the universe was centred with struggle for survival and power but it is now moving towards higher dimensions. In the New Age, Earth will move towards love and compassion . People centred around fear and competitive survival will no longer be able to survive as humans On Earth and will dioe in calamities or wars to be reborn as animals so as to evolve all over again.
