Are the Chakras Within the Body? - 04.08.10

Student Question: We talk about the chakras as levels of consciousness. Is there also an energetic kundalini within the body? Do the chakras manifest at different points in the body?

“It is more that the body is within the chakra than that the chakra is within the body,” reveals Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. Nevertheless there are symbolic links with different parts of the body, chakra two being linked with the sexual organs is an example, but the entire body becomes activated in order to fulfill that chakra. The chakras can also be linked individually to certain parts of the body that have to do with unconscious phantasies which are particular to each person. “But it takes a lot of sensitivity to be able to deduce from the symptom, the logic of the unconscious structure.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, April 8, 2010.
