 Chakras Reading (according to eMode)

Rosie, you are radiating positive energy from your:

This chakra is located in the center of your forehead and is often called the third eye. The sixth chakra represents one's ability to see and really know truth. In your case, this chakra appears to be clear and unblocked so that positive energy can flow from it freely. Radiating positive energy from your sixth chakra indicates that you've cultivated higher wisdom concerning the important life lessons associated with this energy center. You're apt to be accepting of the people and events in your life, rather than pass judgment on them. You're also likely to have developed a higher level of intuition than most people have.

People like you who possess strong sixth chakra energy seem to be able to look past superficialities to see life's core realities. Not only that, but when a situation is murky, you're usually one to actively seek out the truth. At times, this positive flow of energy from your sixth chakra can even heighten your psychic powers, helping you to know the unknowable.

Generally, you have a higher mind about you that allows you to be more objective than many people are. So whereas others might tend to take feedback personally, you're typically able to step back and evaluate comments more dispassionately. If a criticism applies to you, you'll take it for what it is. You'll also try to make changes where they're warranted. However, if a comment is unhelpful, you'll usually discard it. By not feeling threatened or personally accused by others' beliefs, you ordinarily manage to spare yourself the wounding that most people inflict upon themselves. This positive, self-affirming energy is sure to serve you well.

At the same time this positive energy is being conveyed, you are showing signs of an energy disruption in your First Chakra. This blockage could be due to current events in your life that make you question your sense of safety in the world. You may also be feeling alienated from those who used to make you feel most secure and cared for. Alternately, this blockage could also be caused by more long-standing beliefs or negative circumstances that have made you fear for your life or safety. Such problems could have come in the form of actual threats to you, or they may have simply been worries over anticipated difficulties. Either is potentially damaging to your first chakra's natural flow.

The picture below depicts where each of the seven chakras is located in the human body. Note that some people believe the body has more than seven chakras. However, generally speaking, most believe in the seven energy centers illustrated here.

The First Chakra

The first chakra or root or base chakra is located at the base of the spine. This is a source of great energy and is the first of the seven chakras in terms of where it is located on your body. Here it is depicted in the body:

Your first chakra is associated with your connection to a tribal force and your sense of belonging in the world. It symbolizes the physical plane of existence — both the earth and your physical body. This being true, it's not surprising that the first chakra is known to be the source of self-preservation and survival. When this first chakra energy is disrupted, you may be more liable to feel alone in the world, be afraid for your safety, and feel disconnected from other people. You're also likely to feel ungrounded, lacking a strong connection to the earth or your body. Energetically, when the first chakra is disrupted you can feel you have no real "roots."

Rosie, your first chakra is a level 2.4 out of 10. This means that right now it appears that you have a preoccupation with survival on some level. Such a focus can get in the way of your enjoyment. It can also keep you from taking the risks necessary to be happy. By working the lessons associated with this blocked energy, you can begin to feel safe enough to take more risks and live more fully.

These are some common themes associated with problems in the first chakra:

  • Believing that you're holding onto life by a string, like your life is about to fall apart
  • Feeling that you are in a powerless position
  • Working diligently to ensure you do not lose shelter, money, or safety
  • Extreme blame or lack of identification with your family of origin
  • Fear that you will be rejected and completely alone
  • Eating for comfort and to ground the body

Disruption in this chakra is also sometimes associated with separation from the mother at birth.

In its ideal state, the first chakra brings health, prosperity, feelings of security, and a vivacious attitude toward life. However, when energy is blocked, it may result in any number of illnesses. Blocked energy in the first chakra is most often associated with problems in the:

  • Colon
  • Bladder
  • Female or male reproductive system
  • Urethra

Possible psychological problems associated with disruption in this chakra include:

  • Identity problems
  • Dissociative disorders
  • Dependent personality disorder
The Second Chakra

The second chakra is associated with the element of water. It is often called the sexual chakra, because sexual energy is believed to originate there. But the second chakra is much more than simply a sex chakra; it is the seat of creativity. This chakra is located at the sacrum, which is the densest bone in the spinal column. Here it is depicted visually:

When the second chakra is closed or blocked, it can make the entire person appear lifeless. A blocked second chakra can cut you off from your emotions, and you may feel removed from an interest in sexuality. On the other hand, if your second chakra is excessively open, emotions can sometimes rule your being, creating an unbalanced system overall.

Rosie, your second chakra is a level 8.4 out of 10. This means that at present, you are relatively free of the tug of greed and envy that others struggle with so often. Your chakra's energy is flowing freely, so when appropriate your sexual desire is accessible to you. However, having a higher level for this chakra often means that your sexual energy is channeled into creative energy in general. This can give you a strong proclivity toward both self-expression and creative work.

Some common themes associated with problems in the second chakra are:

  • Difficulty being a "good loser"
  • Threatened by dependency on others
  • Envy and greed dominate thinking
  • Feelings of entitlement that don't necessarily correspond with actual deserved rewards
  • Difficulty regulating emotions — either having no access to them or feeling overwhelmed by them
  • Taking on exaggerated male or female roles
  • Fear of poverty

In its ideal state, the second chakra brings a sense of fluidity, a depth of satisfaction and feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to go with the flow of life. Blocked energy in the second chakra is often associated with problems in the:

  • Kidneys
  • Lower back
  • Pancreas
  • Spleen
  • Prostate gland
  • It is also associated with:
  • Allergies
  • Diabetes
  • Diarrhea
  • Ulcers
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Anemia
  • Leukemia
  • Premenstrual syndrome
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Menstrual problems
  • Infertility
  • Vaginal infections
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Impotency
  • Slipped disks
  • Bladder infections

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Depression
  • Sexual difficulties
  • Borderline, narcissistic, antisocial, or histrionic personality disorders
The Third Chakra

The third chakra is associated with the element of fire. Appropriately, it is located at the solar plexus in the sternum. Here it is depicted in the body:

The third chakra is associated with personal power. People who are empowered have high positive energy emanating from their third chakras. Knowing that you can move things forward in your life to order to learn, grow, and live well is closely related to having a clear third chakra. Individual charisma is also generated in this energetic region. Conversely, people who don't trust their own perceptions or feel confident in their own decisions may experience disruptions in this chakra.

When the third chakra is closed or blocked, it can lead to a lack of energy, fatigue, and a yearning to be quiet and shut down. During times when this chakra is blocked, confrontations with others can be very hard to initiate or even tolerate. Blockage can also lead to problems building and sustaining interpersonal relationships based on equality.

Rosie, your third chakra is a level 8.6 out of 10. This means that at this point you are highly empowered to take life on and move forward with a strong confidence backing you up each step of the way.

Here are some common themes associated with problems in the third chakra:

  • Inability to stand up for yourself
  • Low self-esteem
  • Feeling unable to make necessary life changes or to get unstuck if in a life rut
  • Feeling easily overwhelmed by real or perceived obstacles in life
  • Being overly self-critical
  • Being highly sensitive to others' criticisms or rejection
  • Preferring to not make your own decisions
  • Having trouble receiving compliments
  • Difficulties building respectful relationships with others
  • Being easily intimidated
  • Feeling like a victim
  • Being resentful about having to take responsibility for others

In its ideal state, the third chakra generates a great deal of energy for meeting personal goals. It also encourages a balanced sense of self, deep self-acceptance, and self-respect. These positive feelings carry over to one's relationships with other people. Blocked energy in the third chakra has been associated with problems in the:

  • Adrenal glands
  • Liver
  • Stomach

It is also associated with:

  • Digestive difficulties
  • Ulcers
  • Addictions, especially to stimulants
  • Arthritis
  • Eating disorders
  • Cancer
  • Coordination problems
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Obesity
  • Premature aging
  • Gallstones
  • Pancreatic disorders
  • Diabetes
  • Hepatitis
  • Indigestion

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Uncontrollable or overwhelming anger
  • Bipolar disorder or more mild but still extreme highs and lows in mood
  • Insomnia
The Fourth Chakra

The fourth chakra is associated with the element of air and is sometimes called the heart chakra. This is due both to its location near the heart and because of the emotions with which it is associated. Here it is depicted in the body:

The fourth chakra is associated with a gradual increasing of consciousness, as it sits between the lower three and upper three chakras. However, primarily, it is the center of unconditional love. When a person becomes disconnected from their heart and the emotions associated with this region, the fourth chakra becomes closed off. This often results in both low energy and shallow breathing. At times when you're feeling a fourth chakra blockage, you might even feel that it's difficult to breathe.

Emotionally, when this chakra is blocked, you're likely to feel wounded or victimized. Often this will be due to trying to work out past problems. People who have studied chakras liken this kind of chakra disruption to a hurt child inside of us, hashing out scenes over and over, trying to get closure on difficult events. If this kind of inner turmoil happens on an ongoing basis without relief, the overall effect can be a feeling of being stuck in the past. When the energy from the fourth chakra is disrupted, you may have trouble protecting yourself from emotional harm because you generally feel raw and emotionally vulnerable.

When the fourth chakra is open and energy is flowing positively, far different feelings result. For example, you are likely to feel open, loving, and compassionate to those around you and to be very accepting of people for who they are.

Rosie, your fourth chakra is a level 5.4 out of 10. This means that right now, you generally have loving compassion for others, but sometimes disruptions still occur. These disruptions may come in the form of either blockages or being too open with this chakra. At times like these, balance is the key. When you feel emotionally stuck on someone or something, it's a sign to explore what's happening with your fourth chakra and find out what's going on.

These are some common themes associated with problems in the fourth chakra:

  • Feeling stuck and wounded by events from the past
  • Being unable to forgive someone and holding on to the anger you have toward them
  • Fear of breaking down emotionally
  • Being too emotionally vulnerable
  • Feeling unloved or unworthy of love
  • Feeling shamed by being rejected
  • Being resentful of others for the love they receive
  • Extreme loneliness
  • Fear of showing affection

In its ideal state, the fourth chakra will radiate love and warmth. It will help also help you feel a strong, centered connection with yourself, so that you can reach out to others with compassion and a lack of judgment. This chakra also helps you to come to new levels of self-discovery. Disrupted energy in the fourth chakra has been tied to problems in the:

  • Heart
  • Thymus
  • Upper back
  • Lung
  • Shoulders
  • It is also associated with:
  • Vascular difficulties
  • High blood pressure
  • Autoimmunity problems
  • Heart attacks
  • Enlarged heart
  • Blocked arteries
  • Asthma
  • Emphysema
  • Bronchitis
  • Poor circulation

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Self-destructive behaviors
  • Suicidal ideology or acts
  • Trouble emotionally connecting with others
  • Feeling alienated from others and in opposition to yourself
The Fifth Chakra

The fifth chakra is associated with acts of communication, including speaking the truth or finding creative ways for self-expression. It is located at the base of the throat and is often called the throat chakra. Here is an illustration:

This chakra is associated with sound in general. The meaning of your own personal truth is central to this chakra. The more free-flowing the energy of this chakra, the more you are able to speak your truth without fearing the consequences — or at least without letting external forces stop you from doing it. When the throat chakra is too open, you may talk more than other people would like and may not listen closely enough.

On a different level, this chakra is also associated with personal will. When the chakra is very open, your will can be excessively strong; when it is closed, your will can seem nonexistent. However, at times when the fifth chakra is in balance, your will is aligned with divine will. During such periods, you're likely to feel that things are going your way, rather than having to fight against the current in order to reach your goals.

When your fifth chakra is disrupted, personal truths can become harder to express. You may even become afraid to speak your opinions or feel unsure about what you might say. Issues of the will can also come to the fore during these negative times. For example, you may feel that when things go wrong, others are entirely to blame and when things go right, it's solely your will that created the success. Such exaggerated and absolute thinking is often connected to disruptions in the fifth chakra.

Rosie, your fifth chakra is a level 8.2 out of 10. This means that at present, you're not one who is afraid to speak the truth. In fact, you appear to be well aligned with your true self, and you aren't hesitant to let the world see who you are. Self-expression and skilled communication likely come very naturally to you right now.

Some common themes associated with problems in the fifth chakra are:

  • Fear of public speaking
  • Fear of letting go
  • Feelings of inner rigidity
  • Fear of exposure
  • Dishonesty to cover the feared truth
  • Inability to say what you mean

In its ideal state, the fifth chakra gives you the energy and centering you need to speak the truth. It also helps you to make unique contributions to the world by unleashing creative, self-expressive energy. Blocked energy in the fifth chakra is sometimes associated with problems in the:

  • Ear
  • Lymphatic system
  • Mouth and teeth
  • Neck and shoulders
  • Throat
  • Jaw

It is also associated with:

  • Hearing difficulties
  • Parathyroid complications
  • Thyroid problems
  • Sore throat
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Stiff neck
  • Tension headaches
  • Swollen glands

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Stuttering
  • Poor auditory memory
  • Inability to use words for adequate self-expression
  • Addiction to drugs
  • Cigarette smoking
  • Alcohol overuse
The Sixth Chakra

The sixth chakra is associated both with light and with psychic abilities. This chakra provides a source of inner knowing, as well as an objective reflection of how things are. By being focused on a commitment to the truth and flexibility of thought, people with clear sixth chakras usually have a sense of life's realities that surpasses usual conscious barriers. For this reason, the sixth chakra is connected with higher levels of wisdom and a level disposition. It is located between the eyebrows. Here it is depicted in the body:

When this chakra is closed or blocked, you may have trouble seeing the big picture of events that are unfolding in your life. The truth of matters can be dwarfed in details, and you may become easily confused. At times like these, you can sometimes overlook the subtler forces in any situation because you're so busy giving attention to literal details. You may also find that you have a tendency to judge people and events pretty harshly.

Rosie, your sixth chakra is a level 8.8 out of 10. This means that at this point in time, you generally see the grander scheme of life and have more perspective on difficult situations than most others do. Psychic powers are inherent in the chakra energy you are generating, making it valuable to pay attention to your intuition. You are the type of person others likely consider to be wise beyond your years.

Here are some common themes associated with problems in the sixth chakra:

  • Trouble putting things into perspective
  • Lack of strategic thinking; inability to see the forest for the trees
  • Inability to pick up on intuitive or psychic information
  • Being highly focused on concrete, linear thinking
  • Confusion and clouded thinking
  • Fear of self-examination and the unknown
  • Emotional denial
  • Insecurity over others' skills
  • Being slow to learn from life experiences

It's also interesting to note that when someone's sixth chakra is too open, they can become so geared toward generalities and the big picture that they become unable to focus on a project's details to complete it. Also, a very open sixth chakra can lead to receiving too much psychic information so that one is overwhelmed by it.

In its ideal state, the sixth chakra brings you insight and helps you see both the big picture of a situation and its important details. By providing perspective, this chakra helps balance and prioritize the issues of your daily life. It can also provide access to psychic information. On the other hand, blocked energy in the sixth chakra is associated with problems in the:

  • Face
  • Eyes
  • Central nervous system
  • Brain
  • Head
  • Sinuses
  • Pineal
  • Pituitary

It is also associated with:

  • Headaches
  • Cancer, especially brain tumors
  • Visual problems
  • Blindness
  • Deafness
  • Neurological disorders

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Extreme confusion
  • Inability to focus
  • Either lack of intelligence or access to it
  • Being hooked on fantasy
  • Paranoia
  • Poor visual memory
  • Psychoses
  • Schizophrenia
The Seventh Chakra

The seventh chakra is associated with thought. It signifies our relationship to all things and the unity of everything. This chakra also symbolizes self-knowledge and spiritual consciousness. It is located at the crown of the head, but it is connected with the entire muscular system, the skeletal system, the skin, and nervous system. Here it is depicted in the body:

The seventh chakra is associated with a more profound spiritual connectedness than the other six chakras are. This chakra is the seat of higher wisdom and the energy that comes from it. The seventh chakra is thought to give access to the infinite intelligence that exists in the universe and is our key to opening the door to it. This chakra allows for self-expression on higher spiritual levels and is associated with the pineal gland, the gland that produces visions in dreams. When asking the question, "Who am I, really?" you are tapping into the energy of your seventh chakra.

When this chakra is closed or blocked, you can feel cut off from spirituality. At such times, your relationship with the divine becomes limited, and fears of the spiritual side of life can be magnified. Disruptions in your seventh chakra can also amount to the inability to gain closure on unfinished business. Such problems have the potential to end up as a real thorn in your side. Most of all, lack of flow in your seventh chakra leads to an inability to live in the present. People with blocked seventh chakra energy seem to always be either revisiting their past or looking ahead to the future.

Rosie, your seventh chakra is a level 8.6 out of 10. This means that by and large, you are able to live in the present. In fact, your connection to your spiritual self appears to be strong. Perhaps this is because you realize that your vision of life is only one reality and that a deeper truth lies in the spiritual world. As one with a high-level seventh chakra, you should realize that sometimes even positive energy related to this chakra can lead to spiritual crises; this is simply part of the path a more evolved person takes.

Some common themes associated with problems in the seventh chakra are:

  • Always focusing on the past or the future
  • Being continually unhappy with the present state of your life
  • Believing that life has no meaning
  • Feeling cut off from all things spiritual
  • Clinging to unfinished business from the past
  • Fearing true self-knowledge

In its ideal state, the seventh chakra brings a joy and a deep faith that everything happens for a reason. A person with pure, positive energy in their seventh chakra will feel harmony with everything and will be able to tap into the greater wisdom of the universe. Blocked energy in the seventh chakra has been associated with problems such as:

  • Brain tumors
  • Cancer
  • Epilepsy
  • Migraines
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Pituitary problems

Possible psychological problems associated with disruptions in this chakra include:

  • Multiple personalities
  • Nightmares
  • Memory problems

As you've learned, chakras are sources of energy in your body, each corresponding to a different physical region. However, the physical body is not all you're made of. In fact, many believe that there are seven layers of energy that make up your presence here on earth. Those layers are:

  • Physical body — This is the only body that can be viewed without clairvoyant abilities. It can be seen and felt. This is the densest of the seven bodies and is the one through which you most actively interact with the world.
  • Emotional body — This is the entity you use to both express and feel emotions, including the feeling of divine love.
  • Mental body — This body corresponds to the source of your thinking and reasoning. Abstract thinking, creativity, logical reasoning, and philosophy are housed here.
  • Intuitional/compassionate body — This is the source of compassion and is a vehicle for expressing higher forms of love. This body is beyond the restrictions of time and space. It allows you to understand things without having to reason through them first.
  • Will/Spirit body — This body is the vehicle for your spirit to express itself. This is essentially your spiritual will. It carries both the potentials for great positivity and great negativity. It influences how you make decisions.
  • Soul body — This is a more abstract body, not subject to the normal restrictions of humanness; it can provide guidance for the person from a soul level.
  • Divine body — This is the highest of the seven bodies. It is where your connection to the divine lies. The divine body provides us with the means to feel the presence of a higher power in ourselves and to feel oneness with all things.

Each of your seven chakras affects and is affected by these bodies. Interactions can be complex because each of the chakras has a specific location on each of the seven bodies. The book Kundalini and the Chakras discusses each of the chakras on the different bodies and gives information about how each chakra-body combination affects you. More information about these combinations can also be found in The Book of Chakras: Discover the Hidden Forces within You.

When your chakras are balanced, they are neither too open nor blocked. With practice, you can learn to willingly open or close your chakras, depending on events and how you want to feel. This section gives suggestions on how to:

  • Change your chakra state to make it relatively more closed or open
  • Clear chakra blockages
  • Pursue activities that will help your chakras

Note that some people believe working with the chakras can be dangerous and should only be done carefully once you become well informed about the powers of Kundalini energy. Kundalini energy is a powerful energy that is coiled at the base of the spine when dormant. However, when roused — by doing these exercises, for example — you may have an excess of energy to manage. With that caution in mind, consider taking small steps toward changing your chakras. Keep an eye on how you physically and mentally respond to the process.

To be most cautious, start at the top of your head and move downward when you're doing exercises or focusing on chakras. This is a good idea because your Kundalini energy is located around the root chakra. By focusing on your root or first chakra last, you'll have cleared the upper chakras and will be more able to handle the Kundalini energy released from your first chakra.

Changing chakra states
As has been mentioned throughout this report, when your chakras are too open or too blocked, problems can occur. For example, if your fourth chakra is very open and you're going into a classroom to take an exam, you might find yourself distracted from the task at hand. Instead, in a testing situation, you might consciously want to focus on opening your sixth chakra. This can help you increase the clarity of your mind. To follow are five steps to help you change the state of any of your seven chakras:

Step 1: Locate the area of the chakra you want to work with. Sense the chakra's energy as it is right now.

Step 2: Place your hand in that area of your body. Pay close attention to the physical sensations in that area.

Step 3: Visualize the energy around your chakra. What color is it? How large an area does it cover? Is it radiating out, pulling energy in, or feeling disjointed or free-flowing?

Step 4: Now visualize how you want it to be. When chakras are functioning optimally they will have circular energy, like a "wheel of light," which is the Sanskrit meaning for the word chakra. You may want to start simply by visualizing the area of the chakra energy as bigger or smaller than it is.

Step 5: Next, try visualizing your chakra in other ways. See it bigger or smaller, flowing in or flowing out. Practice with how these things feel. Then you can use your reactions as a guide to determine the best state for your chakra given the feelings you're trying to achieve.

Clearing chakra blockages
There are many ways to clear your chakras. Some healers can clear blockages using their hands or through their mental or spiritual powers. However, you don't have to seek out professional help in order to clear your chakras. You can clear blockages yourself by visualizing flowing energy out of the chakra that is blocked, thereby dissolving whatever is in the way of its optimal functioning.

Another way to clear chakras is to visualize light coming through your body. Lay down on the floor with your spine as straight and unstrained as possible and imagine a sheet of light that is very across your whole body. Starting at the top of your head, visualize this sheet of light moving slowly through the regions of your body. Imagine that this light is breaking up negative energy in your body and preparing it for removal.

Once you've covered your whole body and reached your feet, you're ready to remove the debris that this exercise produced. Starting at the floor, imagine another layer of light that is specifically designed to absorb negative particles. Move this long sheet of light from the floor, rising upward until it has cleared your whole body. Each time it encounters negative energy particles that were loosened by the previous step, it carries it out of the body. Once that particle is outside of the body, the sheet absorbs this negative energy.

Pursuing activities that will help your chakras
There are many types of exercises that can help your chakras. In fact, a wide variety of physical exercise will help to move your energy around. However, some muscle-building exercise can tend to clump energy in particular places. If you're looking to clear chakra energy, consider trying yoga, tai chi, or qigong. All of these practices help to release energy from your body and get your chakra energy flowing freely again.

Another type of movement that can help to keep your chakras balanced and flowing is free-form dancing. You may need to do this movement in private, but either way you should find the time and space to listen to an uplifting song, or something that resonates deep within you, and let your body move as it will to the music. Do not think about how it will look to someone else on the outside. Instead, focus on how your body feels and focus on truly expressing what you are feeling, throughout all seven bodies. Such creative expression is beneficial to all seven of your chakras.

The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and is meant to mean a disk of light. This term has also come to describe the seven power centers of the human body. It's believed that chakras are reflective of a person's psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being, as well as being tied to the physical health of particular areas of the body. It's been said that chakras carry and direct energy flow in the body. As a result, some people feel that blocked energy in one's chakras can create serious health problems, ranging from cancer to sexual dysfunction to heart problems. Disruptions in the chakra energy have also been associated with various mental disorders.

Historical data indicates that healers have worked with chakras and the body's energy systems for thousands of years. It is from those practitioners and people who have experienced benefits first hand that chakras' validity continues to be accepted. Chakra work, when one unblocks the flow of energy from particular chakras, came into being long before people had statistical methods to evaluate claims about its effectiveness. However, the continued popularity of this healing tool stands as testimony to its usefulness.

To turn the study of individuals' chakras into something measurable and testable, Emode's research team created an extensive survey to gain information from thousands of Emode members. Survey themes included a broad variety of questions, each associated with one of the seven chakras. After distilling survey information, Emode psychologists created the Chakra Test using the questions found to most reliably assess the seven energy centers. Each of the Chakra Test's dimensions was created to determine which of an individual's chakras are in balance and which may need attention. By comparing test takers with one another, Emode's testing method is able to spot markedly high or low disruption in any one of an individual's chakras. We hope you find this to be a useful tool for your own self exploration.
