Many times, we wonder what makes us behave the way we do!
This blog will briefly study how the 7 chakras control our behaviour and how we perceive life and the people around us.
A few Remarkable Facts about 7 Chakras
Who is controlling you?
The brain is what controls you.
You are controlled by the brain, which controls your behaviour, responses, decisions, etc.
Everything that you do is pre-determined by the physiology of the brain.
So you are what your brain is.
Now, the brain is controlled by what medical science calls the 7 ductless glands or chakras.
What are the 7 Chakras?
These Chakras are like switches to different parts of the brain.
When moved fast or slowly in turn, it affects the brain functions, affecting your thoughts, feelings, emotions, decisions, and behaviour.
Now, we will see how the 7 chakras function, which is crucial to understanding our behaviour.
7 Chakras Facts Linked to Our Personalities
Mooladhara
This chakra deals with certainty and stability.
If this chakra were slow, that person would be unsure of everything.
He/she will always be negative; they cannot be certain of anybody, and their life is quite miserable.
Now, let’s see what happens when the Mooladhara chakra is very fast.
This person will be very sure about everything, very certain about everything. He could have a house on the beach, and the government could tell him to vacate his house. A tsunami is going to hit – he would say, whether tsunami or no tsunami, nothing will happen to my house.
So when there is a balance in chakra, that is the middle path.
Then you are a superior person. When the chakras are at extremes, they are inferior beings.
Swadistana
This is a pleasure chakra.
Now, if this chakra were very slow, however rich he might be, he could not enjoy anything.
I have seen a person who is quite rich, but he doesn’t enjoy his life.
He has a luxurious life, a lovely family, and a good car. But he will go out for a small ride only once a year and park it back only to see whether it works! He is not happy or content with his life.
How would it be when the Swadistana chakra is fast?
There is constant indulgence in pleasure.
Having pleasure sometimes is okay, but constantly living in the act of pleasure makes anyone foolish.
Manipura
This is chakra for power.
If the chakra is very slow, they would be a coward and cannot make bold decisions.
If the chakra is fast, these people will be power-hungry lions!
The primary concern in any relationship is power: “How important am I?” or “What is in it for ME?”. These kinds of people are a nuisance to any great work because the work is never the focus.
Anahatha
If this chakra is very fast, they will be overprotective or possessive in nature.
They think being overprotective of children or their families is love, while it is not but possessiveness.
If this chakra is slow, then how much love you give it won’t be sufficient for such a person.
They will constantly be testing the other’s love for them. They will be very insecure and dissatisfied.
Vishudhi
So now we move on to the fifth chakra, or the Vishuddhi chakra. It is also called the chakra of questions.
If this chakra were very…very slow, there’d hardly be any questions about anything in life. No questions. The person would behave like a robot. They just keep working like a machine.
Now the real problem for most people is that the chakra is very fast.
If the chakra is fast, then it will be full of questions. They’ll be asking questions about anything and everything. These are fundamental questions. That’s when the trouble begins.A fundamental question has no answer.
Questions like who am I? What is the purpose of this creation? Is there a god? Who created him? That’s a fundamental question.
There are no extremities to these two higher chakras, i.e. Agneya and Sahasrara.
Agneya Chakra
The Agneya chakra is the seat of intelligence. The person in whom the agneya has flowered would begin to live a principled life.
They function from awareness and are mindful in whatever they do. They knew the laws governing the human life.
Sahasrara-The Crown Chakra
When the Sahasrara chakra has flowered, the person is awakened.
It is a thousand-petal lotus which is in a radiant blue colour
He automatically lives a great life not because he holds to some principle but because principles are natural to him because his heart has awakened.
