I have found that most people are able to see the streamers off the tips of the fingers with a few minutes practice and clear instrcutions. Although most of the time these streamers are blue, their colors vary in the red and purple areas also. They may be any color.
Exercises to Observe Other Peop;e's Auras
now that you have done the exercises inChapater 7 pbserving the aura at your fingertips, let's look at other people's aura.
Again use a darkened room--later evening light, not ready dark. You should be able to see each other faces easily. Ask your friend to stand in front of a plain white wall or a screen.
Make sure you do not have any lights that you may accidentally look into. You want to relax your eyes.
To see the aura, you want to use your nighttime vision, as when you are walking in the dark and you notice that you can see things better if you do not look directly at them. You are using the rods rather than the cones in your eye. The rods are much more sensitive to low light levels than the cones, which are for daytime and bright color use.
Look at the area of space either near the top your friend's head or at the neck-shoulder area.
Unforcus your eyes so that you are looking at an area of space rather than a fine line.
As you softly gaze at a space four or six inches deep around the head, allow the light to come into your eyes.
Create a sensation of allowing something to come into your eyes, rather than your eyes reaching out to grasp something as they sometimes do when you try hard to see something. Give yourself plenty of time.
do this with other people, preferably with someone who sees auras so that you can correlate what you see.
You may think you see something, and as soon as you do, it will be gone before you can even say,"That's it!" make sure if you look away at a blank spot om the wall, you do not see the same thing. That is the afterimage effect, in which your eye will hold an image due to a complementary door effect to bright contrast intensity.
The auric phenomenon is very fast and doesn't stay. It pulsates. You may see it flow down the arm or flash a color upward and out of the field.
You may see a haze around the body that does not look exciting. Don't be disappointed; this is only the beginning.
Pick up a pair of aura goggles at the local holistic book store and follow the instructions you find in them. They help you develop your ability to see and have a cumulative effect on the sensitively of the eye. Cobalt blue glass is the best color, but hard to get . Most aura googles are dark purple and work fine.
Don't do any there exercises too long;you will fnd yourself geting very tired after a while. I have found a group of people get very excited when they first see something; then as they continue, doubts come in and each person's energy system tires. Soon you have a room full of very quiet, tired people. So just do a little everyday. And check out what you have seen with the illustrations and descriptions that follow.
If a person has a strong feeling, his quiescent aura will suddenly be permeated with an other color and form correlating to his emotional state. Then, after the feeling tones down, the aura regains its original general appearance. The length of time this takes varies with the individual and depends on several factors. If the person has not released the feeling, it will remain in his aura ( usually faded) until he does.
If he releases part of the feeling, that part will be released. The colors and forms may rapidly flash and move out of the auric field, or they may simply fade away over a period of a few minutes or even a few weeks.
They may even be colored over or masked by other colors and forms in a layered effect. Some forms, which I will discuss later, stay in the aura for years. Every thought,feeling, and experience a person has affects and changes his aura. some effect always remains.

OBSERVATIONS OF AURAS IN THERAPY SESSIONS
The aura is really the "missing link" between biology and physical medicine and psychotherapy.
It's the "place" where all the emotions, thoughts, memories and behavior patterns we discuss so endlessly in therapy are located.
They're not just suspended somewhere in our imaginations, but they are located in time and space.
Thoughts and emotions move between people in time and space through the human energy field, and leaning about it is the way to get a handle on this activity. Let's look at people move through their daily lives and then in therapy sessions.
We will concentrate on the colorful moving forms of the lower four layers of the aura and return to our discussion of chakras in a later chapter.
Perceiving Colors in the Field
When one first starts to read aruas, the meaning of the colors may not be understood directly.
Then, practice, general meaning of colors will become clear,.
When the practitioner has more sensitivity through using her gift, she will also read the meaning of the colors she perceives ( Color will be discussed in detail in Chapter 23)
One of the earliest ' explorsions" of the human energy field I observed remains one of the most vivid.
In 1972 during a bioenergeticsprimal sream intensive workshop, I watched Linda light up like a Christian tree as she screamed about the death of her father from caner.
Bringt beams of red, yellow, orange and some blues streamed from her head.
I blinked my eyes, but it didn't go away.
I squinted; I moved around the room; I looked for the after-image.
The phenomenon was still there. I was seeing something
I could no longer deny the many experiences I had had observing apparent colors around people's heads.
I began observing the phenomenon more closely.
As I slowly became more proficient at seeing the aura, I started trying to corelate my findings with the personal state of each subject.
I found that people flash bright colors when they are engaged in feelings or actions.
When they are quiet, the auric field returns to a stable "normal" state for that person.
In general I have found that the "normal" or "quiescent" aura looks like Figure 7-1
It has a dark bluish-purple or clear pulsating layer out to one quarter inch or as much as one and a half inches from the skin.
it is constantly pulsating at the rate of about 15 pulses per minute.
The pulsations usually from a wave-like motion down the arms, legs and torso.
First it is surrounded by a light blue to greay hazy layer which is much birghter close to the body and fades with distance from the body.
The blue color generally turns to a yellow color around the head at about three to four inches in distance.
There are usually P.88.2B were not functioning properly. This means that she was negatively aggressive in terms of pride (chakra 5B), self-destructiveness (chakra #B) and dampening her sexual power. She dampened her sexual power by splitting the energy flow in chakra 2B into four parts ( the pendulim showd four distinct and separate circles) and using it in negative ways, such as fights with her ex-huasband.
After the first retreat, the only improvement in her will functioning was in the area of pride, which had let down and become positive functioning in the area of her profession (5B). It still had an overactive component, which took the place of the pride used to compensate for feelings of inadequancy in that area.
When she came ot the second retreat two years later, she still carried with her the same illues of will.
These got resolved during the course of the second intensive retreat, and all the will centers started to function normally.
The feeling centers showed some difficulties, but not as much as the will. The heart center (4A) remained open thoughout both years.
( she is very good at loving.)
The throat center (5A) showed trouble with talking in nourishment and an aggressive denial of her needs.
This softened by the end of the first week, and when she came back in two years, it had been resolved, mostly through establishing a very sweet relationship with the man who she loves.
On the other hand, the solar plexus center (3A), which relates to who you are in the universe, was closed when she first came.
It opened during her retreat, but in the second year period, between retreat, it was open again and metabolizing more energy.
You will note that here sexual power center cleared when her relationship with the man she loves became more stable and clearly defined through the work in the couples retreat.
During the first retreat, she opened her feeling centers and began to feel safe in the universal world of feelings.
In the second retreat, having done a lot of work on the feeling centers, which were not as blocked as the will centers,
she was able to deeply confront her misues of her will and rebalance it.
As you can see from the reading, most of the chakras showed larger diameters, which means that the person posessing this energy system has a lot of power.
It is interesting to not that the crown, third eye and heart centers all remained open through the two year period.
This means that she is very connected to her spirituality, conceptual reality, and is capable of loving.
The overall picture of her personality is that her primary clear function is reason and that she compensates for and defends against vulnerable feelings with the will, which is too aggressive.
As I said earlier, by the end of the seocn rereat, all centers except the executive will center were functioning well.
As long as they stay that way,she will be balanced in her reason,will and emotional functions and will lead a more happy and balanced life.

I have found that when a chronically closed chakra opens during a therapy session, it is common that another chakra that is usually open will close briefly in compensation.
The personality is not able to tolerate the new "opened" state without some degree of imageined "protection" in the beginning
Intensive Retreat Case Study
Now let us examine the chakra configurations actually measured in a case.
This is a woman who came to the Phoenicia Pathwork Center in Phoenicia, New York, on two separate occasions to do a weeklong retreat that included very intensive work on herself. that first was in 1979, and the second in 1981. The second time she came, it was with her new husband, and they did very intensive couples work. The chakra measurements were taken before the week's work started, and then again after the week's work was completed.
All measurements were taken when the woman was in a very quiet state and had been for some times.
They are shown in Figure 10-3. To interpret these readings you will need to use both Figure 7-3 and 9-1 and Figure 10-2 of this chapter on the meaning of each chakra.
As you can see from the reading, the most harmoniously functioning centers are those of the reason, next these of feeling, the worst of the will. This means that she has a find mind, which functions well, especially in its concepts of reality (6A) and in the integration of her personality and spirituality (7).
Her mental executive will center (6B) has a right/left split most of the time, meaning that she tends to be agrressive when it is more appropriate to be receptive in any given situation that is related to carrying out her ideas in a step-by-step fashion. She will decide what to do and proceed to do it in a step-by-step way, regardless of where or not it is time to start.
When she arrived for her retreat, this center was aggressive. By the time the first retreat was over, this center had calmed down, was no longer aggressive,but rather was still. This configuration of stillness did not hold or change to harmony as it often does over time.
Two years later, when she came back, the center was again aggressive; and it did not change during the second retreat.
At the time of the last reading, she still had a problem with being over aggressive when carring out her ideas.
This was the only case of no change in her chakras. All the other chakras were balanced by the end of the second retreat.
Her other will centers showed problems, too, with each one of them not functioning at one or another time during the weeks involved.
When she arrived in 1979, chakras 5B, 3B and

The same general rule for measuring severity holds true of the back and forth pendulum swing which is either vertical (parallel to the body's vertical axis[V]) or horizontal (perpendicular to the body's vertical axis [H]).
The vertical aspect indicates that the individual is diverting energy upwards toward the vertical, which means he's avoiding personal interaction.
The horizontal pendulum movement indicates the individual is holding down and compacting the energy flow and feelings to avoid personal interaction.
Fore example, a pendulum reading of V5 at chakra 3A indicates that the person is focusing his personal connection toward the vertical and spirituality, and avoiding a personal relationship with another human being.
He defines who he is in the universe from the point of view of a spiritual belief and cuts out the aspect of being connected to another human being.
Whereas a pendulum reading of H5 for the same chakra would indicate that person is not connceting to anyone, not on the spiritual level, not on the human level.
This could lead to personal isolation.
This particular motion could go into a still chakra (S) from underuse and compaction. Strong phychodynamic work is needed in such a case.
When an indivudal is focusing his psychological work on a particular aspect of his being, either from deciding to do so from an inner place or forced to from some outside circumstance, the particular chakra or chakras involved will probably display chaotic or asymmetrical movement (CEAS, CCEAS) as in Figure 10-2.
This movement will cause the pendulum to swing chaotically, usually exhibiting elliptical motion combined with a shifting axis.
At first, this movement may confuse the beginner;however, if the pendulum is held over the chakra for a longer period of tume, the axis shift witll be observable.
The circumscribed pattern of the pendulum will look like the last two items in Figure 10-2.
Whenever this type of movement is observed, the therapist knows a lot is going on in the client
It is time to work deeply on the issues involved, but a the same time giving the client a lot of personal time and space to do his own self examination/transformation.
If he can take a few days off from work at this time and be undisturbed by his daily routine, he will be able to make the best of this period of great personal change.
I have regularly observed this phenomenom in people undergoing deep personal transformation work in weeklong intensive retreats.
As the therapis become more proficient in use of the pendulum, he will begin to observe more "qualities" in his measurements. The rat of swing ( how fast the pendulum moves) indicates the amount of energy being metabolized through the chakra.
With practice, the therapist can also "pick up" qualities such as tightness, tension, exuberance, heviness, sadness, grief, peacefulness and clarity. A fast swing can be fast and tight, indicating overlook, tension and pressure in that area.
A fast weing can also be combined with an exubernt feeling, indicating a lot of positive aggression in that area.
Thus, by developing more acute sense to the quality of the energy flowing through the chakra, the therapist can be better informed about the client's state. He can tell how stable a chakra is, approximately how long it has been in the state it is in, whether it changes back and forth between two states, and more.
A chakra may be open 20% of the time, or 80% of the time.
This can be "picked up" by the sensitively trained therapist.
This, of course, takes practice with verification.
Chakras go through different phases as they change from closed to open through the intensive work in therapy.
The process of chaing one's belief system redirects chakra movement.
A chakra that is continually closed at a large diameter (CC6) will sometimes, over a period of time, decrease its diameter in the harmonious direction until it becomes C6. Or more often a CC6 chakra, say in the heart or solar plexus, may, within as little as five minutes of deep crying, turn around to C6. This type of change will not hold long, but, as the person continues his work over a long period of time, the chakra tends to stay "open" longer each time, it is opened. This increases its overall percentage time of harmonioys functioning, and the person will feel himself being happy for longer periods P.85.related to issues involved with the particaular psychological aspects governed by that chakra.
For example, if the will center between the shoulder bladers (4B) reads passive ( elliotical to words upper left), the person will be unable to reach out for what he wants.
This person will remain passive when aggressive action is accled for.
This person will wait for someone else to do it, or someone else to give it to him.
He will also not be able to stand up for his rights or his turn.
Many times, a false humilty is held up as the reasion this person remains passive, but the truth is that he is afraid to be aggressive, usually due to some very deep iamages about what it means to be aggressive.
The image about aggression comes directly from childhood experience. For example, a child may have a very aggressive father, who would overpower or humiliate the child every time he reached out for what he wanted.
This convinced the child that reaching out for what he wanted.
Children are very creative, so the child probably experimented with ways of getting what he wanted, or at least of getting something as compensation for what he wanted.
Whatever way works in what the child will adopt as natural behavior.
He will continue this behavior until it no longer works well in his life.
Unfortunately, the habit is hard to break, and changing to find new ways takes work, because aggression is seen primarily is a very hostile aggressive component of the personality that would like to blast out feelings without restraint and take what it wants.
If this is done repeatedly in a therapeutic stting, the person will eventually be able to integrate his healthy aggression with the rest of his personality.
this aggressive work needs to be done simultaneously with work that turns passivity into healthy recptivity.
The more the circular movement of the pendulum is distored above ang given chakra, the more severe is the psychological distortion.
The most severe right/left split is shown by the back and forth movement of the pendulum at a 45 degree angle to the vertical axis of the body(R3,L4 of Figure 10-2). The larger the pendulum movement, the greater the amount of energy contained in the distortion.
For example, an R6

Remeber that th figure are dawn as you are looking at the front of the patient's body.
4/18/2008 P.82.erratically . The size and direction of the pendulum movement indicates the amount and direction of energy flowing through the chakra.
Dr. John Pierrakos has found that a clockwise movement of the pendulum denotes a psychodynamically open chakra.
That means that the feelings and psychological experiences which are governed by and flow through that chakra are well balanced and full in that person's life.
If the pendulum moves counterclockwise, that chakra is psychodynamically closed, indicating a problem area in its corresponding psychological aspect.
That means that the feelings and psychological experiences which are governed by a flow through that chakra are not balanced, because the energy is blocked, and probably the person has negative experiences associated with them.
The size of the circle made by the pendulum is related to the chakra's strength and the amount of energy flowing through it.
It is also related to the amount of energy the healer and subject have that day.
If a larger circle is circumscribed by the pendulum, there is a lot of energy flowing through it. If the circle is small, there is less energy flowing through it.
It is improtant to keep n mind that the size of the chakra is not the diameter of the circular figure circumscribed by the pendulum, but is indicated by it. The size of the pendulum's circle is a function of the interaction of all three fields, the field of the subject, therapist and pendulum. But is indicated by it.
The size of the pendulum's circle is a function of the interaction of all three fields, the field of the subject, therapist and pendulum, as mentioned earlier.
If the energies of both people are low, all chakras will appear to be smaller.
If the energies are high, all chakras will appear to be larger.
One must focuse on comparison of the relative sizes among the chakras.
Health is achieved by balancing the chakras to create an even flow of energy through them all.
For health then, all chakras should be about the same size.
There are many variations between the clockwise and counterclockwise basic froms that indicate various psychological states.
Figure 10-z is a table of the various shapes a pendulum circumscribes.
Although at first glance this table may seem a bit complicated, it is really quite simply.
Each moment circumscribed by the pendulum in a variation between the extremes of a full open chakra( clockwise 6' diameter), C6, or a fully closed chakra, which is counterclockwuse, CC6. I rarely find diameters larger than 6 inches unless the person is overusing a particular chakra or is very open after a spiritual experience, when most of the chakra are open. I have measure up to C10 (clockwise with a diameter of 10 inches).
The only exception to falling between C6 and CC6 is the completely still chakra (S) where the pendulum exhibits no movement at all.
In this case, either the chakra is reversing its spin, or the individual has so overused or held down and blocked the particul pyschological functioning associated with this chakra that is has ceased to pin altogether and no longer metabolizes any energy from the Universsal Energy Field.
this is a state that, if continued for very long, will most assuredly result in disease, since the body cannot function healthily without being able to make use of outside energy. ( see Chapter 15 on the relationship between illness and the chakras.)
Any elliptical swing of the pendulum indicates a right/left side imbalence of energy flow in the body.
The designations of left or right refer to the left of right sides of the patient's body,i.e., the pendulum swings upward to the left (CEL) or upwards towards the right (CER) side of the patient's body.
This also indicates that oneside of the body is tronger than other.
The right side (CER, CCER) represents the active, aggressive, "masculine" or yong nature.
The left side (CEL, CCEL) repressents the passive, receptive, "feminine" or yin nature of the personality.
When the pendulum circumscribes an ellipse standed up toward the right side of the subject's body, Dr. John Pierrakos has observed that the personality has its masculine aspect more developed thatn the feminine.
This person will probably be "overactive" in the sense that he would be aggressive in moments when receptively is more appropriate.
This will happen with regard to issues directly related to the area of psychological functioning governed by the particaular charka which exhibits ellipical motion
In any chakra where the elliptical pendulum swing is up toward the left (CEL, CCEL), the person is more likely to be passive in situations
4/17/2008 P.81. Chapter 10Chakra or energy center diagnosis
There are several ways to discern the state of the chakras, In the beginning you will need to explore which practice is easiest and most useful for you.
The best way I have found to start sensing the states of the chakras is to use a pendulum.
This device helps increase your sensitivities to the energy flow because it acts as an amplifier.
The best pendulums I have found for this purpose are made of beechwood and are pear-shaped.
They are one inch in diameter and one and a half inches long.
Their energy field is diffused, easily permeated , and also pear-shaped.
It is symmetrical around its vertical axis, which is important for this type of measurement.
( Beechwood pendulums can be purchased from the Metaphysical Research Group, Archers' Court, Stonestile Lane, Hastings, Sussex, England.)
If you have developed some sensitivity in your hands, or enjoy touching, you can practice sensing the energy flowing in and out of the chakra through feeling them with your hands.
This helps to get a sense of whether the energy is freeflowing or clogged, weak or strong.
You can do the same thing with an acupuncture point by simply placing your fingertip over it.
In this type of sensing, you may even get certain physical type of sensing, you may even get certain physcial feeling responses in your own body that give you the information you wish to know.
Eventually, after you develop your High Sense Perception to a greater degree, you may be able to simply look at the chakra to see how they are spinning (regularly or irregularly ) and what their colors are ( dark and clogged, washed out and weark, or clear, bright and of a strongtone). You may also be able to see if, and specifically how, they are disfigured. You may eventually be able to perceive them on each layer of the auric field.
But first let us practic using the pendulum
Exercise to Diagnose Chakra with a Pendulum.
To measure the front chakra, ask your patient to line on his back. To measure the the back chakras, ask the patient to lie on his stomach.
To measure the state of the chakra, hold the pendulum on a string about six inches long over the chakra and empty your mind of all bias as to the state of the chakra. ( This is the hardes part and requires practice. ) Be sure that the pendulum is as close to the body as possible witout touching it. Your energy flows into the field of the pendulum to energize it. This combined field of the pendulum and your engery then interacts with the field of the subject, causing the pendulum to move. ( See the Figure 10-1) It will probably move in a circular pattern, circumscribeing an imaginary circle above the body of your subject. It may move back and forth in an elliptical movement or a straight line. It may move P.79--80.his chosen purpose. He is also probably resistant to being in physical reality and in the position of an apprentice
On the other hand, if this center is clockwise and the idea center is counterclockwise, we have an even more upsetting situation.
Even if the person's basic concepts are not in reality, she will nevertheless proceed to carry the distored concepts out with a certain amount of success.
For example, if you believe this word is a nasty place where "everyone is out for himself so you just take what you want," and you have the ability to do so because you know how to go about it, i.e., your executive will is functioning, then you may act like a driminal. In this cause the heart is probably also clogged.
Your life will prove your idea to a certain extent.
You will be successful to a certain extent until you get caught.
Or, with this kind of configuration you may try to make something happen that is simply impossible to do in the physcial world.
Or, you may be the mover who carries out another person's ideas, whatever they are.
The crown center (chakra 7) is related to the person's connetion to his spirituality and the integration of his whole being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
If this center is closed, the person probably does not have an experiential connection to his spirituality.
He probabaly does not have that "cosmic feeling" and does not understand what people are talking about when they speak of their spiritual experiences.
If this center is open, the person probably often experiences his spirituality in a very personal form, unique to that individual.
This spirituality is not one defined by dogma or easily related with words.
It is rather a state of being, a state of transcendence of the mundance reality into the infinite.
It goes beyond the physical world and creates in the individual a sense of wholeness, peace and faith, giving him a sense of purpose to his existence.

If this is not the case, the person will hold back from givng his best.
He will be unsuccessful and conceal his lack of success with his pride.
He secretly " knows" he would be "better" if he would either give his best or get a more challenging job.
Somehow this person never does either and keeps a defense of pride in order to avoid the real despair underneath.
He knows that his is really not succeeding in life.
He will probably play the role of the victim, stating how life has not given him the opportunities to let him develop his great talent.
This pride needs to be released, and the pain and despair felt and also released.
In this center, we will also uncover the fear of failure that blocks taking the chance to move out and creat what one so dearly wants.
This also holds true of one's peronal friendships and social life in general.
By avoiding contact, this person also avoids revealing himself and feeling the fear of not being liked on the one hand, and competition and pride like, " I'm better than you; you are not good enough for me,"on the other , Since your feelings of rejection originate inside and we then project them out onto the other, we avoid the other person to avoid rejection.
Taking the chance of going for the profession you long for, moving toward the contacts you long for and revealing your feeling about it are ways of releasing there feelings and thus opening this chakra.
The forehead center (chakra 6A) is associated with the capacity to visualize and understand mental concepts.
This includes the person's concepts of reality and the universe or how he sees the world and how he thinks the world is likely to respond to him.
If this center is counterclockwise, one has confused mental concets, or images about reality that are not true and usually negative.
The person holding them projects them onto the world and creats his world by them.
If this center is clogged and weak, the person is usually blocked in his creative ideas simply because the amount of energy flowing through this center is small.
If this center is strongly counterclockwise, then this person has the ability to generate strong ideas that are negative.
It this is combined with a strongly functioning executive center, located at the back of the head (chakra 6B), this can create havoc in a person's life.
During the therapy process of purifying or sorting our negative belief images, when an image arise in the energy system and begins to function dominantly , this center will probably spin counterclockwise, even if it is usually clockwise.
this therapy process brings the image to the fore and causes it to manifest in the life of the person.
With therapeutic help, the person will understand and see the image clearly for what it is.
The center will then turn around and will spin clockwise.
Usually this type of counterclockwise motion can be detected by te seasoned therapist because of the unstable quality of feeling accompanied by the counterclockwise motion.
It will be apparent to the therapist that this is not the normal state of affairs.
For example, the chakra may even show a chaotic motion which tells the practitioner that an issue regarding one of his client's concepts of reality is strongly shaking the client's personality.
At the back of the head, the mental executive center (chakra 6B) is associated with implementing the creative ideas formulated through the center in the forhead.
If the executive will center is open, one's ideas are followed with the appropriate action to cause them to materialzie in the physical world.
If it is not open, the person has a rough time bringing his ideas into fruition.
It is especially frustrating to have the front center (6A) open and the back one closed.
One has many creative ideas, but they never seem to work out.
This is usually an accompanying excuse which blames the problem on the outer world.
Usally this person simply needs trainning on how to carry out, step-by-step, what he wants to accomplish.
In doing this type of step-by-step work, a lot of feeling will emerge.
" I can't stand to wait so long";
"I don't want to take responsibility for this happening";
"I don't want to test this idea in physical reality";
"I don't accept this long process of creation, I just want it to happen without so much work",
"You do the work, I'll be the idea man."
This person probably lacked early training in how to take the simple steps in the physcial world to accomplish P.77.want or in our accomplishing something. We will have to go through them to run them over to get what we want, rather than see them as helping us.
We would believe statements like " my will over yours." and " my will over God's." Deep-seated beliefs relating to how the unierse fuctions are involved here.
An image of the universe as a basically hostile place where the strong aggressors will survive, sometimes boils down to "not getting my way means my ultimate survival is at stake." The person fuctions by control and seeks to make his world safe by controlling others.
The solution is for this person to realize how he creates a hostile envoroment through his aggression, and then to take the chance to let go and see if survival is possible without control.
taking such a chance will eventually lead to experiences of begin, abudant and safe universe in which the person's existence is supported by the whole.
In another case, this center may be overactive. It could measure very large in a clockwise direction accompanied by a small clockwise or counterclockwise heart chakra.
In this case, the person's will isn't particularly negative; it is just used to serve the function the heart center would serve.
Instead of being able to let go, rust and love, i.e., run more energy through the heart chakra(4A), the person compensates with his will.
He runs more energy through the rear aspect of chakra 4 between the shoulder blades.
The person may be saying covertly , " I want my way without having to consider your humanity."
This person functions mainly from will rather than love, or power over rather than power from within.
It is the distortion from which one would "own" one's mate rather than be an equal.
The throat chakra (5A), located at the front of the throat, is associated with taking responsibility for one's personal's need.
The newborn is brought to the breast, but must suck before nourishment is gained.
This same principle holds throughout life.
As the perspn matures, the fulfillment of his needs rests more and more upon himself.
Maturity is reached and this chakra functions properly when one ceases to blame others for one's lacks in life and goes out to create what one needs and desires.
This center also shows what the stae of the person is with respect to receving whatever is coming toward him.
If the center is measured as counterclockwise, the person does not take in what is given to him.
This is usually associated with an image about what it is that is coming to him in the first place.
That is, if the person sees the world as a negative, generally hostile place, he will be cautious and have negetive expectations about what is coming his way.
He may expect hostility, violence and humiliation rather than love and nourishment.
Since he sets up a negative force field with his negative expectations, he will attract negative input to him.
That is, if he has expectations of violence, he has violence inside of humself and, therefore, attracts it via the law of like attracts like, as explained in Chapter 6 on the nature of the Uniersal Energy Field.
As the person opens his throat center, he will gradually attract more nourishment ubntil he is able to receive so much that he will be able to keep his throat center open most of the time.
In the interim, he may very well attact a negative input shortly after openiny the center due to his beliefs that that is what will come.
When he is able to go through this experience, connect to the original cause within himself and find inner trust again, he will reopen his throat center.
This process of opening and closing continues until all the misconceptions of receving or taking in are transforned into trust in a benign nourishing universe.
The aspect of assimilation that occurs at the back of the fifth chakra (5B), sometimes referred to as the professional center, is associated with the person's sense of self within the society, his profession and with his peers.
If a person is not comfortable in this area of his life, then this discomfort may very well be coverd by pride to compensate for lack of self-esteem.
the center at tha bck of the neck is usually open if one is successful and well suited in one's work and astisfied with that work as one's task in life. If the person has chosen a profession that is both challenging and fulfilling and is givng his best to his work, this center will be in full bloom.
He will be professionally successful and P.76.reveals a lot about your personal reactions to other people.
The nature of the chakra cords that you build in your first family will be repeated in all the following relationships that you create later.
As a child, the child/mother cords represent just that, the child/mother relationship.
As an adult, you will most likely grow dependent child/mother cords between you and your mate.
As you move through life and mature, you gradually transform the child/mother courds into adult/adult ones.
Ths diaphragmatic center ( Chakra 3B), located behind the solar plexus, is associated with one's intention towards one's physical health. If someone has a strong health-love toward his body, and an intent to keep it healthy, this center is open.
This center is also known as the Healing Center and is associated with spiritual healing.
It is said that in some healers this center is very large and developed.
It is also a will center like the one located between the shoulder bladers and is usually smaller than the other will centers, except on people who have healing abilities.
This center is associated with the solar plexus center, in the front, and is usually open if the solar plexus center is open.
If a person has the solar plexus open and therefore is connected to his place in the universe, accepting that he fits as perfectly as each blade of grass, and the "lilies of the field," this person's self-acceptance will manifest on the physical level as physical health.
Overall health-mental, emotional and supiritual-requires all centers to be open and balanced.
You will see, as we move through the chakra descriptions, the front and rear aspects of each work together as a paire, and a balance between each is more important than to try to open only one very widely.
The heart chakra ( chakra 4A) is the center through which we love. Through it flows the energy of connectedness with all life.
The more open this center becomes, the greater is our capacity to love an ever widening circle of life.
When this center is functioning, we love oursellves, our children, our mates, our families, our pets, our friends, our neighbors, our countrymen, our fellow human beings and all our fellow creatures upon this earth.
Through this center, we connect cords to heart centers of those with whom we have a love relationship.
This includes children and parents as well as lovers and mates.
You have probably heard the term " heart strings," which refers to these cords.
The feelings of love that flow through this chakra often bring tears to our eyes.
Once we have experienced this open loving state, we realize how much we have missed it before and we cry.
When this chakra is open the person can see the whole inividual within his fellow man.
He can see the uniqueness and inner beauty and light in each individual as well as the negative state (closed), the person has trouble loving, loving in the sense of giving love without expecting anything in return.
The heart chakra is the most important chakra used in the healing process.
All energies metabolized through the chakras travel up the vertial pwoer current through the roots of the chakra and into the heart chakra before moving out of the hands or eyes of the healer.
In the healing process, the heart transmutes the earth plane energies to spiritual energies and the spiritual plane energies into earth plane energies to be used by the patient.
This will be discussed in greater detail in the chapter on healing.
Mudway between te should bladers, chakra 4B is assocaited with the ego will, or outer will.
this is the center from which we act in the physical world.
We go after what we want.
If this center is clockwise, we will have a positive attitude about accomplishing things in life and see other people as supports for those accomplishments.
We will then have the experiences to support this view because we live it.
We will experience our will and the divine will in agreement.
We will see the will of our friends aligned with our will.
For example, if you want to write a book, you will envision your friends helping you and it being accepted bu the publishers in a way that says, ' Yes, this is just what we were looking for."
On the other hand, if this center is conterclockwise, the opposite is true.
We will have the misconception that God's will and that of other people is opposed to our will
Peole will appear to be blocks in our way of getting what we
P.75.wander uninhibited into that beauty and wonderment.
the accompanying psychologucal problems from imbalance in chakra 2A and 2B result in unssatisfactory life circumstances.
For example, when the rear center is trong in a clockwise dirction and the front center is weak and closed, the person will have a strong sex drive and probably a great demand for sexual relations.
The problem is that the large amount of sexual energy and drive is not accompanied by an ability to give and receive sexually.
Thus, it will be very hard to satisfy a strong drive.
If the rear center in strong in a counterclockwise direction, the same is true; however,the drive will probably also be accompanied with negative images, perhaps even violent sexual fantasies. This, of course, makes the drive even hard to satisfy, and the owner of such a configuration may do a lot of sublimating in orer to avoid the issue altogether because of shame of such inner feelings.
On the other hand, the person may have many sexual partners and then miss the possibility of deep commmunion between two souls in the sex act.
The person may break commitments or not be able to make any commitments regarding sex.
The Solar Plexus ( Chakra 3A) is associated with the great pleause that comes from deeply knowing one's unique and connected place within the universe.
A person with an open chakra 3A can look up to the starry heavens at night and feel that he belongs.
He is firmly grounder in his place within the universe.
He is the center of his own unique aspect of exppression of the manifest universe and from this he derives spiritual wisdom.
Although the solar plexus chkra is a mental chakra, its healthy functioning is directly related to an individual's emotional life. This is true because the mind or mental processes serve as regulators of the emotional life.
The mental understanding of emotions puts them into a framework of order and acceptably defines reality.
If this center is open and functioning harmoniously, he will have a deep fulfilling emotional life that does not overwhelm him.
However, when this center is open but the protective membrance over it torn, he will have great uncontrolled extremes of emotions.
He could be infuenced by outside sources from the astral which may confuse him
He may get lost in the universe and stars.
He will eventually have physical pain in that area from overuse of that chakra and may eventually create a disease, such as adrenal exhaustion.
If thsi center is closed, he will block his feelings, perhaps not feeling anything.
He will not be aware of a deeper meaning to the emotions that lends another dimension to existence.
He may bot be connected to his own uniqueness within the universe and his greater purpose.
Many times this center serves as a block between teh heart and sexuality. If both of those are open and the solar plexus is blocked, the two will fuction separately; i.e,
sex will not be deeply connected to love and vice versa.
These two connect very nicely when one is aware of one's firmly rooted existence in the physical universe and of the long historical line of human beings who have served to creat the physcial vehicle this person now possesses.
We must never underestimate how deeply physical a being we each are.
The solar plexus center is a very important center with regard to human connectedness.
When a child is born, there remains an etheric umbilicus that is connected between mother and child.
There cords represent a human connectedness.
Whenever a person creates a relationship with another human being, cords grow between the two 3A chakras.
The stronger the connections between the two people, the stronger and greater in number these cords will be.
In cases where a relationship is ending, the cords are slowly disconnected.
Cords develop between other chakras of people in relationship also, but the third chakra cords seem to be a reenactment of the dependent child/mother connection and are very important in terms of transactional analysis in the therapeutic process.
Transactional analysis is a method to determine the nature of an interacting with them as a child would to a parent ( child/ parent)? Or are you interacting as if they are the child and you an adult ( adult/child)? Or are you acting as adults? This type of analysis P.74. For those who have already chieved such communion and have passed to other stages along ths piritual path, some spiritual disciplines like Kundalini yogya and Tanric tradition state that this discharge is no longer necessary for the well-being of the person. (Most human beings are nto in this category.) Many spiritual practices use meditation to contain, transform and redirect the sextual energy along the vertical power current up the spine to be transformed into higher vibratory energy which is then used to build the higher spiritual energy bodies. This is very powerful and potentially dangerous practice and must be done with guidance.
Gopi Krishna in his book Kundalini speaks of the transformation of his physcial seed, the sperm, into spiritual energy, or Kundalini, in this manner. Many spiritual practices advocate holding the sperm of spiritual seed for transformation.
Blocks in chakras 2A and 2B. Blociking of the public center may result in an inability to achieve orgasm in the woman who is unable to be open to and receive sexual nourishment from her mate. He will probably not be able to connect to her vagina and may not enojy penetration . She may be more inclined to enjoy clitoral stimulation than penetration. She may also want to alway be the agrressive one in the sexual act, i.e., be on top and initiate the majority of the movement.
His distortion here is that she must always be in control. In a healthy state she would want to be active sometimes and receptive at other times, but in this cause she unsciously fears her parten's power.
With gentle, patient caring and acceptance from her mate, she can slowly, over a period of time, open her public chakra to receiving and enjoying penetration. She must also go through the deeper feelings of fear and withholding from her mate that accompany her condition to find the images from which such feelings come as described earlier in this chapter. I am not implying that the woman should not be aggressive in sex. I am speacking more about a type of imbalance in given and receiving.
A servere block in the male in the public chkra is usually accompanied by premature orgasm or inability to achieve an erection. The male is afriand on some deep level to give his full sexual power and, thus, withholds it. His energy flow often gets interrupted, clogged or recirectionted toward the back, out the sacral chakra, so that in orgasm he shoots energy out the posterior second chakra instead of out the penis.
This experience is sometimes painful, resulting in an aversion to orgasm and an avoidance of intercourse.
this precipitates difficulties on other levels with his mate, as it does with the nonorgasmic woman.
Many times, of course,through the law of " like attracts like," there people find each other and share this mutual problem.
Too many times the "Pseudo" solution has been to blame the other person and try to find another mate.
This only perpetuates the situation until the "owner" of the problem has to finally admit ownership.
At this point, the work of digging out the originating images or beliefs can begin.
It is a blessing in these cases to have an accepting, understanding and strongly committed mate.
If both people, insteand of blaming the other, admit their difficulty, they can then focus on giving love, understanding and support to their partner and thus develop a new form of mutuality. This kind of growth takes time and patience.
It takes ture giving without making demands that one's desires be fulfilled by the other person.
Then, as mutual turst and self-respect grow from giving up blame and from giving love, sexuality usually opens up and grows into a nourishing exchange.
It is not unusual for one of these centers to be closed when the other is open.
Many times this is just how the pairs ( front/ back) of chakra work in people.
There will be an over-functioning in one and an under-functioning in the other, because the person cannot tolerate the power of having both aspects of a chakra functioning at the same time. For example, for some people it is very difficult to feel both tremendous sexual power and be very open to giving and receiving from another in lovemaking. Many times sexual power turns into fantasy rather than allowing the moment to unfold by immersing the self into the partner's depths and personal mysteries.
Human beings are infinitely beautiful and complex wonders.
Very rarely do we allow ourselves to simply

-ters come together, in the heart of the chakra, in this spine, the life force exhibits its second most powerful phycial urge and purpose--that of the desire for sexual union. This powerful force breaks through the self-imposed barriers between two people and draws them closer to each other.
So, each person's sexuality is connected to his life force. ( This is ture, of course, of all centers: any of them that is blocked also blocks the life force in that related area.) Since the pelvic area of the body is the cource of vitality, any center that is blocked in that area will have the effect of lowering physical and sexual vitality. For the great majority of humanity, the sexual energy moves through, charges and discharges in orgasm through these two sexual chakras. This movement revitalizes and cleanses the body with an energy bath. It rids the body system of clogged energy, waste products and deep tension. Sexual orgasm is important for the physical well-being of the person.
The mutual leeting go into deep communion through giving and receiving in sexual intercourse is one of the main ways humanity has of deeply letting go of the ego "separateness" and experiencing unity. When done with love and respect for the uniqueness of your mate, it is a holy experience culminating from the deep primordial evolutionary urges of mating on the physical level and the deep spiritual yearnings of uniting with Divinity. It is a wedding of both the spiritual and physical aspects of the two human beings. P.72.make our chakras flow counterclockwise, we send out energy out into the world, sense what the energy is that we sent out and say that it is the world. This is called projection in psychology.
The imagined reality that we project onto our world is related to our "image" of what we concluded the world was like through our childhood experience; and through the mind of the child we were then. Since each chakra is related to a specific pyschological function, what we project through each chakra will be within the general area that each chakra fuctions and will be very personal to each of us because each person's life experience is unique.
Thus, by measuring the state of the chakras we can determine one's overall long-term and current life issues.
John Pierrakos and I have related dysfunction in each of the chakras to psychological disorder.
Any disturbance in the chakra, as measured by dowsing techniques, shows a dysfunction in that particular area of psychological relating ( see Chapter 10 for dowsing technique). Thus, by measuring the state of the chakras, we are able to diagnose the client's psychological needs.
I also work directly with the chakras to effect a psychological change. Conversely, we have found that the psychological patterns described by therapists are connected with the human energy field in predictable locations, shapers and colors.
Figure 7-3 shows the location of the seven major energy centers of chakras used for diagnosing psychological states. These are divided into mental centers, will centers and feeling centers.
For psychological health, all three types of chakras: reason, will and emotion should be in balance and open. The tree chakras in the head and throat area govern the reason; the chakras on the front of the body govern the emotions' their counterparts on the back govern the will. Figure 9-1 gives a table of the major chakras and their psychological function.
Let us look at the general areas pf psychological functioning for each chakra. The first chakra, the coccygeal center(1), is related to the quanitity of physcial energy and will to live in the physical reality. It is the location of the first manifestation of the life force in the physical world.
When the life force is fully functioning through this center, the person has a powerful will to live in physcial reality.
when the life force is full functioning through the three lowest charas, combined with a pwoerful flow down the legs, there comes with it a clear and direct statement of physical potency .
The coccyx acts as an energy pump on the etheric level, helping direct the flow of energy up the spine.
This statement of physical potency, combined with the will to live, gives the individual a "presence" of power and vitality.
He makes a statement, " I am here now," and is well-grounded in physical reality. The "presence" of power and vitality emanates from him in the form of vital energy. He often acts as a generator by energizing those around him, recharging their energy systems.
He has a strong will to live.
When the coccygeal center is blocked or closed, most of the physical vitality of the life force is blocked, and the person does not make a strong impression in the physical world. He is not " here." He will avoid physcial activity, will be low in energy and may even to "sickly." He will lack physical power.
The public center ( chakra 2A) is related to the quality of love for the opposite sex that the person is able to have.
When it is open, it facilitates given and receving sexual and physcial pleasure.
If this center is open, the person will probably enjoy sexual intercourse and probably be orgasmic.
However, full body orgasm requires that all centers be open.
Ths sacral center (Chakra 2B) is related to the quanitity of sexual energy of person. With this center open, a person feels his sexual power.
If he blocks this particular chakra, whatever sexual force and potency he has will be weak and disappointing.
He will probably not have much sexual drive, tend to avoid sex and disclaim its importance and pleasure, resulting in undernourishment in that area.
Since the orgasm bathes the body in life energy, the body will not be nourished in this way,and it will not receive the psychological nourishment of communion and body contact with another.
Relationship between chakras 2A and 2B.
The sacral acts as a pair with the public chakra.
At the two points where the front and rear cen- P.71. Chapter 9Chapter 9 PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF THE SEVEN MAJOR CHAKRAS
As a human being matures and the chakras develop, each represents the psychological patterns evolving in the individual's life. Most of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feeling and stopping a great deal of our nature engery flow.
This affects the development and maturation of the chakras, resulting in inhibition of a fully balanced psychological function.
For example, if a child is rejected many times when he tries to give love to another, he will probably stop trying to give love.
In order to do this, he will probably try to stop the inner feelings of love that he is responding to with action.
In order to do this, he will have to stop the energy flow through the heart chakra.
When the energy flow through the heart chakra is stopped or slowed down, the development of the heart chakra is affected.
Eventually, a physical problem will very likely result.
The same process works for all chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experience he is having, he in turn blocks his chakras, which eventually become disfigured. The chakras become "blocked," clogged with stagnated energy, spin irregularly , or backwards (counterclockwise) and even, in the case of disease, become severely distorted or torn.
When the chakras are functioning normally, each will will be "open", spinning clockwise to metabolize the particular energies needed from the universal field. A clockwise spin draws energy from the UEF into the chakra, very like the right-hand rule in electromagnetism, which states that a changing magnetic field around a wire will induce a current in that wire.
Grasping the wire with the right hand, point fingers in the direction of the positive magnetic pole .
The thumb will automatically point in the direction of the induced current.
The same rules hold true for chakras.
If you hold your right hand over a chakra, in such a way that the fingers curl clockwise around the outer edge of the chakra, your thumb points toward the body and in the direction of the "current". thus we label the chakra "open" to incoming energies.
On the contrary, if you curl the finghers of your right hand counterclockwise around a chakra, the humb will point outward, in the direction of current flow. When the chakra spins counterclochwise, the current is flowing outward from the body, thus the energies that are needed and that we experience as psychological reality are not flowing into the chakra when it is spinning counterclockwise.
WE thus label the chakra as "closed" to incoming energies.
Most people I have observed have three or four chakras spinning counterclockwise at any one time. Usually there become more and more open with therapy. Since chakras are not only metabolizers of energy, but also devices that sense energy, there serve to tell us about the world around us. If we " close" chakras, we do not let that information come in.
Thus, when we P.70.very wonderful experience Many of you have read the descriptions of those who have been pronouced clinically dead and have come back to life. They all speak of a tunnel with a brilliant light at the end of it. They speak of meeting a wondrous being at the end of that tunnel. Most have a life review and a discussion of that life with that being.
Most reveal that they themselves decided to return to the physical world to complete their learning, even though it was so beautiful where they went. Most of them no longer fear death, but look forward to it as a great release into serenity.
" So it is your wall that separated you from this truth: What you call death is actually transition into light. The death that you imagine you will experience can be found within your wall. Every time you separate yourself in any way, you die a small death. Every time you block your wonderful life force from flowing, you creat a small death. Thus as you remember those separated parts of your being and reintegrate them back into yourself, you have already died. You come back to life. As you expand your awareness spiritual reality and physical reality dissolved. Thus death dissolves, it is nothing but the releasing of the wall of illusion when you are ready to move on.And who you are is redefined as the greater reality. You are still your individual self; when you drop your body, you will maintian the essence of self. You can feel that essence of self in the future/past meditations that are given in Chapter 27 ( Self Healing). Your physical body dies, but you move into another plane of reality. You maintain that essence of self beyond body , beyond incarnaton. And when you leave your body, you may feel yourself to be a point of gold light, but you will still yourself."

Heyoan on Death
My guide has been lecturing on the death process, and I would like to quote him here. First he says that death is not what we have understood, but a transition from one state of consciousnes to anther. Heyoan says that we have already died, in forgetting who we are.
Those parts of us that have been forgotten are walled off from reality, and we have come into incarnation to retrieve them.
So although we fear death, he says we have already died, and in the incarnation process of reintegrating with our greater being, we actually find more life. He says that the only thing that dies is death.
During our life, we wall off experiences that we wish to forget. We do this so effctively that we do not remember many of them. We begin this walling-off process early in childhood and continue it throughout our life.
There walled-off experiences of our consciousness can be seen in the auric field in terms of blocks and will be discussed in the chapter on psychodynamics. Heyoan says that the real death has already occurred in the form of that internal wall.
"As you know, the only thing that separates you from anything is yourself. And the most important thing is that death has already occurred in those portions of yourself that are walled off. That would be perhaps from our vantage point the most clear definition of what the human being considers to be death. It is being walled-off and separate from.
It is forgetting. It is forgetting who you are, that is what death is. You have already died. You have in fact incarnated to bring to life those pieces of you that you arleady in what you call death, if we should ever use that word. Those parts have already died.
"The process of death, that which we would call transition to greater awareness, can be seen as a process in the energetic field. We will describe this now to help you understand the process of death from the auric point of view. There is a washing of the field, there is a clearing, and opening of all the chakras. When you die, you are going to another dimension. There is dissolution in the three lower chakras. There is dissolutions of, and note we say dissolution, of the three bodies. Those of you who have watched individuals die have seen the opalescent quality of the hands, of the face, of the skin. It is an opalescent mother of pearl as the individual is dying, and the beautiful opalescent clouds are wafting off. Those clouds are the lower energy bodies which serve to hold the physical body together. They are disintegrating.
They waft off, and the chakras there are opened and there are cords of energy coming out.
The upper chakras are great open holes into other dimensions. So this is the beginning stages of death where the energy field begins to separte.
The lower parts of the energy field separate from the upper parts.
And then during the three hours or so around the hour of death, there is a washing of the body, a baptism, a spiritual baptism of the body where the energy is flushed through like a fountain right up the main vertical power current.
A fountain of golden light flushes through, and all of the blocks are clearned.
And the aura becomes white gold.
How will this be experienced by the individual who is dying in terms of memory?
You have already heard it.
A person sees his or her entire life wash by them.
Well that's it.
There is a concomitant energy field phenomena of the washing of the aura.
All blocks are let go. All forgotten experiences of that lifetime are unblocked.
They all flow through the consciousness.
