Chakra Analysis: Score Interpretation:
21-24: Indicates a very strong Chakra
12-6 : Indicates a weaker Chakra
However, it is the distribution that is important. Compare your scores between different parts. Aside
from the strongest and weakest chakras, is there a distribution pattern, e.g. higher scores in lower
chakras, or higher scores in the upper or middle chakras? Does this pattern coincide with your own
views and how you perceive yourself?
An Analysis of Chakra Distribution
In the Chakra system energy flows in two ways --vertically as it passes through all the chakras and
horizontally, as it passes through each chakra. The vertical channel can be thought of as the basic
source, while the horizontal flow between the earth and the heavens—between matter and
consciousness. In order for this flow to be full, each end of the spectrum must be opened and
connected to the raw energy source particular to it.
If the first chakra is closed, then the upward flow of liberating energy is blocked off. Cosmic energy may
still come through the crown chakra, but it has no pull from the lower body to move toward manifestation.
Ideas may be proliferate, creativity and awareness may be high—but the person has a hard time
finishing projects or directing his life. The consciousness may consist of loosely formed ideas or
fantastic but impractical schemes that never come to fruition. There is a little of that in each of us.
On the other hand, if the crown chakra is closed while the first chakra remains open, our problem is
reversed. The earth energy has no pull toward expression, but sits like a wallflower waiting for a dance
partner. The person may be highly practical, well focused and secure financially, but lacking in creativity,
hopes, and dreams or awareness of subtle planes. Plenty of plodding, but no dancing. Change is
difficult, ruts and habits set in. The person has cut off his liberating current. The inability to manifest
anything new results in an attachment to whatever security already exists.
These are extreme examples and most situations are not so clear cut. These combinations result in a
dominant theme of either cosmic or earth energy. Some people are perfectly balanced, but this is the
exception rather than the rule. Establishing the dominant theme is the first step in analyzing chakra
blockages.
Both upward and downward currents can also be altered by imbalance in any of the chakras between
the two ends. If a person has a block in the second chakra, for example, with heavy emphasis on the
cosmic energy, then most of the chakras are still well fed (chakras 7-2 or flow from top to bottom
stopping at the blocked 2nd chakra) with the greatest deprivation occurring in the first chakra. Opening
the first chakra may then alleviate the problem by bringing energy up from the earth to meet and
balance the cosmic energy trying to come down, if the first chakra is closed then the cosmic energy will
have a hard time filtering down as low as the second chakra.
If a person with a second chakra blockage has predominantly physical energy, then they are likely to be
in sorrier shape. Now five major chakras above are all blocked from there main source -- the first
chakra. In treating a person like this, one can work on opening the crown chakra (though it is likely to be
difficult) or working on the second chakra directly to allow the earth energy to rise. This example
illustrates why sex is often more important to physically oriented people. Aside from mere physical
stimulation, it allows passage of energy to the rest of the body, otherwise malnourished.
Likewise, the middle chakras can be analyzed in terms of the directions of the vertical flows. Fifth chakra
blocks in a mental type result in an inability to manifest creativity and communication| ideas. In the
physical type, they result in communication without content -- without knowledge or creativity to back
them up.
In the third chakra blockages, a physical type may have power with no control over it. It may be
intermittent, or intensive. In the mental type, there may be a great deal of mental strength, but an
inability to really accomplish anything in the "real" world -- a lack of confidence in dealing with tangible
things.
When the heart chakra is blocked, then of course, energy from both ends is also blocked. The
mind/body communication is shut down and needs to be re-established to open things up again.
Likewise, if one or the other end points (first and seventh chakras) are blocked, the energy will balance
itself in one of the other chakras, depending on which current is dominant (physical-earth up. Mental-
heaven down).
Each chakra is a combination of earth and cosmic energy. The ratio between these two energies
determines how the chakra expresses itself.
Briefly the even chakras (2, 4 and 6) are of a receptive, yin quality, while the odds (1,3, 5 and 7) are the
masculine. Therefore men have a tendency to be stronger in survival, power, and communication, while
woman have a tendency to be stronger in the emotional, loving, and intuitive realms.
