The fire associated with this chakra is responsible for transforming us and igniting our life to make it purposeful. This Chakra creates the raw energy from the Muladhara Chakra and Svadhisthana Chakra and transforms this energy into an active energy that is required for our actions. This Chakra is responsible for transforming Instinctual impulses or thoughts into the activities according to our will. Problems with the Manipura Chakra The Solar Plexus Chakra of an individual is very essential for a good energy and strength. It should remain balanced in order to be able to take the vital actions. As this Chakra is the source of our power and energy thus this Chakra is also responsible for our good health. This, this must always be balanced for the flow of energy. • If your Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra is blocked then the flow of energy will not take place inside of your body. You will lose all the capability of doing things or any activity. You will lose the power of fire within
Another prevalent symbol to me is the idea of sin. In The Ministers Black Veil Hooper just suddenly one day shows up to church wearing a veil. At first the people are sort of angered by it. People soon start to flock to his congregation to view the spectacle, and go so far as to test their '"'courage'"' by seeing who will go and talk to him. I think that the veil could represent sin. In The Ministers Black Veil Hooper was either trying to hide his sin from the people so that they could not judge him, which is god"'"s job, or maybe he was trying to protecting his self from the sins of the people. In the end of The Ministers Black Veil Hooper dies, and sees his congregation all wearing black veils, which would probably hint that maybe it represented the sin in all of us. In The Birthmark Georgiana"'"s birthmark could represent, as some religions believe, the original sin which is bestowed on all by the '"'hand'"' of god. But, unlike Hooper, Georgiana could not help her markings.
All things found in the universe are thought of as a balance of the two opposite but complementary forces yin and yang. Organs in our body can be predominantly yin or yang but the body still manages to maintain the overall balance because of the total sum of yin and yang in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine states that diseases are caused by an imbalance of yin and yang. When trying to restore the balance and the person’s health, practitioners look for the nature of the imbalance and use acupuncture as a method to correct the imbalance.“However, despite more than 3,0000 studies into acupuncture since the 1970s, there is no evidence that any force qi ( yin and yang) exists or that it flows along invisible energy lines.” ( “Why acupuncture is giving sceptists the needle”, David Derbyshire)Therefore the whole system acupuncture is based on can’t be reliable.

...as are a key part of our body is evident. They provide us with creativity and inspiration. Our chakras also keep the body motivated. When a child asks where the soul is, many answers may be thrown at him, but one that is hardly mentioned is the chakras. In my eyes, chakras are as much of a viable answer as saying that the soul is located anywhere else. Whether chakras are real, or whether they are a state of mind, there is one concrete fact, and that is the fact that they improve our lives. With the fact that chakras improve our lives, Buddha once said “To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.” Chakras; gateway to the soul, gateway to enlightenment.
The 5000 year old healing system of Ayurveda is based on the functioning of three units, namely viz three Dosha, seven Dhatu and Mala. These three units are fundamental to the proving an equilibrium of the mind, soul and body. Dosha is the physiology and psychological characteristics found in an individual, Mala is the metabolic endproduct, dhatus are the tissues present in the body.
Now that the chakras have become New Age parlance, there are many interpretations of their meaning and function being bandied about. While this popularity is making the chakras a household word, it is also spreading a lot of confusing, conflicting, and often erroneous information. It is important to realize the chakras come from an ancient tradition, which many New Age teachers have barely explored. Here is a brief summary of the development of the chakras historically.
In “Six Pillars of Energy Medicine: Clinical Strengths of a Complementary Paradigm” David Feinstein and Donna Eden (2008) argue that clinical experience and scientific investigations make energy medicine more reliable, and according to them because of six major reasons energy medicine can be used as a support to conventional medicine or as a full system for self-care and self-help. Energy medicine utilizes electromagnetic fields in the body because electromagnetic fields are managing all cells’ roles in the bo...

It has been studied and suggested that regular practice of Yoga increases the brain gamma-Aminobutyric acid levels which helps in regulating the excitability of the nervous system and muscle tone as well. This helps in reducing anxiety and improving mood functions, letting people lead much more emotionally balanced lives. Apart from the abovementioned advantages, yoga also helps in keeping cardiovascular diseases in check. The three principles of yoga: asana (exercise), pranayama (breathing), and drishti (meditation) help in monitoring heart activities and keeping it functioning healthily. It does so by reducing blood pressure, speeding up recovery related to heart failures or cardiac arrests, and lower other cardiovascular risk factors that some people might have genetically imbibed in them. Similarly, it helps people with chronic back aches. Regular practice of yoga can bring relief over a period of time, than medications alone. Pain medications for back ache or spine-related spasms generally have dangerous side effects such as gastric problems, nausea, and the relief they provide last for a very short period of time. Yoga on the other hand gives back pain sufferers a much necessary relief through stretching exercises and also by meditating which plays a major role in alleviating any kind of

In Augustine’s younger days he explored the concepts of Manicheism and studied the Manichee doctrine for nearly ten years. “Confused and bound by the ideas of his Manichee, Augustine’s interaction with astronomy and philosophy convict him that the Manichee beliefs are not the true truth” (Augustine 3, 135-136). Through the Manichee sect he was taught that God was not omnipotent and struggled...
Energy Healing Therapy is the channeling of healing energy through the hands of a practitioner into the client’s body to restore a normal energy balance and therefore, health.
