Chakras and Illness

CHART OF COMMON PHYSICAL AILMENTS AND THEIR POSSIBLE CHAKRA ORIENTATION

One of the most common questions asked from workshops and lectures is, “I have this or that ailment, what chakra is that?”

The following chart is an attempt to answer these questions in a systematic way. This is only a general guide, it is NOT ABSOLUTE, and DOES NOT constitute a diagnosis. In fact, I have refrained from putting it out for years, because I didn’t want it to become gospel, knowing how seriously people can take this kind of information.

Use it to help you think through the problem you have, asking especially, "What is the job of this organ or body part? What chakra is that job related to? Is the afflicted organ or part overdoing its job or under-doing? Is it stagnant or overcharged (excessive) or is it empty, repressed or undercharged (deficient)?

Below, I have given related chakras and their excess or deficiency. In some cases it is a little of both, (conflicted) which is given a C. In other cases, it needs to be determined by the symptoms going on in the area. Use your own judgment. Nothing is absolute. All ailments should be examined within the totality of the person. This just gives you a likely place to start, in looking for related issues.

Once you find out the chakra, then you can look at the exercises related to that chakra, whether it is yoga postures, journal exercises, real world tasks, or exploring the psychological material. For more information on exercises, see THE SEVENFOLD JOURNEY. For more info on thte psychological issues, see EASTERN BODY, WESTERN MIND.

Remember, excess chakras need to let go, detach, and discharge the energy, or send it to another area. Deficient chakras need to take in, nourish, focus, and open.

Number equals chakra, with base as 1, crown as 7.
E = Excess D = Deficient C = Conflicted (properties of both);
No letter, could be either
*Note: Nothing is absolute. All ailments should be examined within the totality of the person. This just gives you a likely place to start looking for related issues.
