Firstly, I would like to mention that all information I provide is simply my own truth and understanding of our existence on earth, and the greater universe. The one truth that belongs to all can be extracted from within the individual, through an understanding of one’s own life experiences. I offer my knowledge as a tool to help others come to their own realisations of their own existence.

What are Chakras? These are energetic centres that connect our physical body to the spiritual realm. Each physical body of life functions on its own through a source of energy. This energy can be described as the soul. The soul connects into the 7 chakras that exist within the human body, and this occurs as a baby takes its breath for the first time. These chakras align with the spine and allow for integration of your consciousness with matter. As a form of matter, your body can then act as a vehicle for the soul to experience the physical environment around you.

The 7 chakras can be listed as follows:

1. The Base Chakra
2. The Sacral Chakra
3. The Solar Plexus Chakra
4. The Heart Chakra
5. The Throat Chakra
6. The Third Eye Chakra
7. The Crown Chakra

Each of these chakras are responsible for not only our emotional well-being, but also play a role in regulating our health through the body’s endocrine system. This shall be discussed for another article. For now, I wish to focus on the other 5 chakras that complete the set of 12.

The number 12 appears to hold significance in the way humanity operates on this planet. We have 12 months on our calendar that has been calculated according to the earth’s orbit around the sun. Time is measured in increments of 12 hours that splits a day between the phases upon which the sun rises, and the phases of its sunset. Have you ever noticed that on a piano, one scale of notes will consist of 12 black and white keys? The median age of when girls begin their reproductive cycle is 12 years. As human beings, we are carbon-based life forms. On a periodic table, carbon has an atomic mass of 12. We have 12 pairs of ribs on each side of our rib cage. We also have 12 pairs of cranial nerves. There are even 12 inches in a foot. I could keep going on here, but the point is that 12 seems to be a very powerful number. It resonates within yourself in this planet, and expands out to the rest of the universe.

And here’s how. There exists 12 chakras that connect our human body to the rest of the physical universe. I’ve mentioned 7 so far, but what about the rest? Beyond the crown chakra, which lies at the tip of your head, exists another 5 chakras. The 8th chakra, exists at a level a couple of inches above the crown chakra. The next one lies 2 stories above the 8th. From here exists another chakra at a level just outside planet Earth. The 10th chakra is located in the further most outreached place of our solar system. The 11th, outside of our galaxy, and the 12th, towards the outer regions of the greater universe.

This system is designed to connect, what we describe as the soul, into a physical reality where we get to experience life on planet earth, and with the other billions of stars that are spaced out across this universe. Think of the soul as a player that wishes to experience a computer simulation. In order to do this, the player must take a seat inside the simulator. There are 12 levels. The level of difficulty is determined by the level you choose to play in. If you are a beginner, you must start from the 1st level and advance upwards. Sometimes, players that have already passed the first few levels will choose to repeat the lower levels just for fun.

I draw this comparison to what we are doing here as a human species. The soul chooses to experience life in this universe, and does so by connecting itself into the chakra system. I’ve mentioned the 7 that exists within the human body. When those 7 chakras are activated, it translates into an awareness of the individual’s physical existence that is limited to the human experience. An activation of the higher chakras will correlate to an increased awareness of not only our experiences on planet earth, but also a greater understanding of what lies beyond our planet and the intelligence that exists there.

It simultaneously gives rise to an understanding of an existence anywhere in this universe at a dimensional level that goes beyond the 3rd dimension. This is the dimension that most of us as human physical beings are currently experiencing. To evolve past the physical 3rd dimension, we need to better understand what religions and spiritual teachings have alluded to: That true life exists beyond the physical form, and into soul or spiritual existence.

There are life forms that exist in this planet which exist at 1st or 2nd dimensions. These are life forms such as microbes and insects that exist with a certain level of intelligence. As animals and humans, we fall into the 3rd dimensional category where we better understand life and how we can utilise the creation around us to further our species. Yet, there also exist other species of life, just like the various species of insects, animals, and our human selves. This may come to be a surprise to many people. The species of life that exists at higher dimensions may also exist on our planet, and because they exist at higher dimensions to ourselves, we are unaware of their existence. Perhaps we have been made aware of their presence through trickles of clues that have been made apparent through history, and through rumours, sightings and the paranormal phenomena.

Our human bodies have a template to which the chakra system can integrate itself on a cellular level. And this is through DNA. Our strands of DNA, which exists in the nucleus of every cell in our body, actually correlate to the same chakras that I described earlier above. And guess what? For the 12 chakras, we also have 12 strands of DNA too. As each strand of DNA becomes activated on a cellular level, it simultaneously activates the same level in the chakra system so that we can raise our level of conscious awareness in this physical universe. Our awareness of what we are experiencing will grow once we figure out the secret to activating the strands of DNA within ourselves.

So how does this information benefit you? It really comes down to the question that we’ve all asked ourselves at some point in our lives. What are we doing here and why were we born?

Ultimately, we are here to discover the meaning behind our own existence. For thousands of years, humanity has lived inside a bubble that we call planet earth. However, our awareness grew through time and we eventually figured out how to send a rocket into space. Then we sent a man to the moon. And through science, we’ve now discovered that our planet is really a drop in the ocean of other planets, stars, galaxies, and even universes. To swim in this vast ocean, we need to become the ocean in a drop. And the key to achieving that is actually through the decisions we make through life.

Through trial and error, we find ourselves on an emotional roller-coaster ride that eventually guides us to finding out what makes us happy, or what better serves us. And the reason for that is that it is in our own feelings of happiness that we get to tap into the great power of the universe. Many great teachers of human history have described the importance of love, peace, or happiness. These are simply words to describe a vibration of energy. By becoming this energy ourselves, we raise the vibration of our body on a cellular level. This raised vibration through feelings of love and happiness, causes a mutation in our DNA where our DNA strands may be activated. The activation of our DNA strands then switch on our chakra energy centres, and in this activation, we develop a greater level of understanding and intelligence within ourselves. It translates into a physical awareness of the truth behind our existence. If we learn how to love ourselves and feel this vibration, we activate the 12 chakra system – the soul’s portal entry into the wonderful universe we share.
