The journey through the seven chakras
We start with the root chakra, this is all about survival, food and shelter. Once we have this sorted in our lives we go to the second chakra where we experience sex and the energy of life. So, having gone from a state of survival then move into a state of sexuality. Then move to a sense of self with the third chakra. This is a 'me' or 'I want' mentality. Once connected to our 'self' and our ego, we can pass the heart chakra which can love and move beyond our selfish motives. The time has come to the throat chakra that the experience of communication not only speech but also telepathy. Naturally, then move on to our third eye that has to do with knowledge and meditation. This is the point where beyond our physical and emotional needs and go beyond meditation experience. This is well in the crown chakra where we experience Nirvana or enlightenment.
