Mini-course Learn the Laying on of Hands Day 3 - The Base Chakra — YouTube from the CEC Library

The chakras are fundamental to our vitality, providing energy. Knowing them helps us grow and direct our energies coherently, benefiting ourselves and those around us. Let us explore the seven major chakras: base, spleen, navel, heart, laryngeal, frontal, and crown. Each one processes energies in distinct ways. The base chakra deals with dense energies, connecting us to the Earth and to human relationships. When we pick up an object or carry out a physical activity, it is the base chakra that facilitates that transit of energy and perception.

Each chakra has a specific function. Understanding how it works in everyday life is essential, especially for those who wish to practice laying on of hands. The chakras are crucial in the transfer and exteriorization of energy. With knowledge, we can enhance healings, improve our life, and avoid illnesses, as well as share this knowledge with others.

The base chakra operates on four levels of frequency, each one with a spectrum that changes gradually. The first frequency connects us directly to the Earth, while the last one links to the next chakra, such as the spleen chakra. The hepatic chakra, although not mentioned before, is important because it exteriorizes energies, especially those that are poorly resolved or emotional. The spleen chakra has a counterpart on the back. The base chakra is counterposed to the crown chakra, located above the head. The distance between them reflects the variety of frequency activities they carry out: the base chakra deals with dense and human energies, while the crown chakra encompasses universal frequencies, often imperceptible.

Consciousness is in the most active chakra. If it is the base chakra, perception is more limited, focused on physical and solid exchanges. The crown chakra, on the other hand, offers a perception beyond what the base chakra can take in. The base chakra is also involved in physical and sexual activities, such as erections and the capacity to generate life. Phenomena such as poltergeists are manifestations of intense activity of the base chakra, common in places where there is great emotional difficulty. Working with that energy is important, but it must be done in a balanced way. One cannot operate with the base chakra alone; all the chakras must be used.

Consciousness in the base chakra implies a relationship with the world based on its limitations. This can lead to extreme behaviors, such as aggressiveness or a lack of perception. As one rises through the chakras, perception widens and becomes more complex. The environment and the other person become more important as one advances spiritually. When the crown chakra is reached, one perceives that one is the other person. To take care of the other is to take care of oneself. The base chakra, in turn, is linked to physical movements. If the energies of that chakra are densified a great deal, physical effects can be produced. For example, consuming a lot of meat intensifies the processing of the base chakra, making it more potent.

It is fundamental to learn to work with the base chakra—a complex learning process. Perceiving the physical world is as challenging as perceiving the spiritual one. One example of this is master painters, who see the world in a sophisticated yet physical way. Ask yourself whether you can observe the details they highlight, such as contrasts of light and shadow. A painting by Monet, for example, reveals colors that he saw in a unique way. Monet sometimes painted 17 or 18 paintings in a day, repeating the same painting to capture the sun's different reflections and shadows.

The energies of the base chakra are crucial in healing processes, such as the restoration of tissues in surgeries. That dense energy is close to our etheric double, which connects the physical body to the astral body. When we exteriorize energy, we take it in from the environment and make it available to the one who receives it. Working with the base chakra implies codifying energies at that level. We must be aware of our responsibility and of the importance of the will.

Spiritual help comes when we are aligned with spirituality and contribute to the energetic balance of the world. Spiritual helpers assist us because we help improve the world. Our presence also improves the people around us. This is simple and logical, based on common sense. Work with the base chakra begins early. During the day, depending on the environment, one may use that chakra more or less. The daily course involves rising from the base chakra to the spleen, to the navel, and occasionally to the higher chakras, depending on the activities. In subtle environments, such as forests, one can feel peace because of the difference between the base and crown chakras. However, upon leaving, one returns to the base chakra, its "home."

Sustaining higher positions is difficult; the "energetic elevator" goes down easily. When someone speaks ill of another person, for example, the energy flows quickly, generating euphoria. It is important to know what one is doing in order to benefit oneself and others. The energies of the base chakra are powerful. If you are carrying out an exteriorization for someone with difficulties and you use the energy of the base chakra, that denser energy can help move the person's energies.

An important point: when using the energy of the base chakra, if harasser spirits are present, they can be repelled, because that energy is dense and you have the physical body as support. That energy is where we draw strength from when we are unable to take in everything we need through the chakras, which can cause tiredness after the process. Many people, when they receive spirits, feel exhausted because they spend energy from the physical body instead of only channeling the energy that passes through them.

It is crucial to understand that the duration of an exteriorization is important, as is the will. The beginning and the end must be well marked out. You need to know how long it takes for you to start feeling weak, because from that point on you will no longer be helping the other person and you may end up draining the energy of the one being assisted. Some people are able to sustain the exteriorization for five, ten, or fifteen minutes, while others can endure half an hour, an hour, or more, depending on the level of consciousness.

When at a higher level, the energy flows calmly, without spending personal energy, only channeling the energies of the environment. The base chakra is excellent, but it also exposes us to serious spiritual challenges. Consciousnesses close to someone focused on the base chakra tend to be primitive, reactive, and turned toward the physical world. If a person with the base chakra in high activity passes away, they may not perceive the spirits around them, because of the density of their condition.

The base chakra has a speed that, depending on the level of work, can become anxious, straying from balance. Anyone, in any chakra, can carry out exteriorization of energy. It is important to know your own energies in order to benefit others. The energy exteriorized is codified by our emotions and feelings, reflecting who we are.

People turned toward spiritual assistance transmit energies that reflect their essence, which can be positive or negative depending on their emotional state. For an effective exteriorization, it is important to be relaxed, to avoid heavy eating, and to practice breathing exercises. Positive thoughts and happy intentions are fundamental. The exteriorization begins with the interaction with the person, including facial expression. When beginning, state that you are starting the exteriorization for that specific person, and when you finish, end it formally. This delimits the working space and prevents undesired consciousnesses from interfering.
