It is a profound formula for wholeness, a template for transformation, and a map for manifestation. Its seven major energy centers correspond to nerve ganglia along the body’s core. As a whole, the system forms a bridge that connects universal polarities: spirit to matter, heaven to earth, and mind to body. The chakras are stepping-stones along that bridge, bringing those polarities into union. “Union” is the meaning of the word yoga, the system from which the chakras originated. They function as doorways, or portals, that lead to the journey’s next level. By following this map, you can ensure your success along this path. Everything alive has a core: every blade of grass, every animal, and every tree. The trunk of a tree has a core, as does every brand and every lead. Even planets and stars have cores. You have a core running through the middle of you, from your crown to your base, from heaven down to earth. Creation proceeds from the core. We grow outward from our core, and our core is our scared center.The seven chakras are embedded into our nervous system. When aligned, they form a vertical channel along our core. Within this channel, two major currents of energy move upward and downward: the currents of liberation and manifestation. This guidebook focuses specifically on the current of manifestation, the downward current from crown to base. This current moves step by step from ideas to reality. As a map, it can guide you in creating the life of your dreams—on purpose.
