Balancing and Treatment
"It is important to understand the connection between the energies stored in the
chakras and imbalances in the body. Many of the physical, emotional, and mental
imbalances in our clients can be balanced and harmonized by working on the chakra
regions with acupuncture treatments".
- Mikio Sankey,
Esoteric acupuncture: Gateway to Expanded Healing Volume 1.
A combination of techniques are used to balance the chakras, some to critail an over-abundance of energy others to bolster a weakened center.
The chakras mediate the flow of qi and so acupuncture offers the most direct method of change. Crystals and stones are placed upon the chakras. You'll find a soothing in their weight and textures. Medical tuning forks are then used to harmonize the qi directly via the needles with the structure of the cells of the body and the lattice of the stones. You may find some of the stones cool with time while others grow warm.
The application of these methods is generally governed by the Wu Xing generative principles as indicated by this diagram. Once the effect of a properly balanced chakra system has been achieved, the qi is symetric and mutable, it may be encoded with an esoteric pattern such as the Celestrial Tuning Fork Yin or Yang Patterns.
From the diagram it is clear that many synergies exist with the Tree of Life. Yantras aid in our visualization of the hidden geometries at work as acupuncture meridians cojoin the paths of the Tree and the chakras overlay the Spheres. As Jacob's Ladder bridges the Earth and Sky so too the chakras bridge, each in turn, the spiritual potential of the physical body through which the Kundalini serpent may rise to the sublime crown of heaven.
