Chakras & B/H/M/S

For the most part, when I mention the word chakra, most people, if they’ve even heard of chakras, have it filed under a vague heading like, All That Spiritual Stuff. And it is true, chakras form the basis of the human energy system — the one that powers all the other bodily systems that are so handily broken down in medical school curricula.

As part of my one-woman campaign to spread this vital information, I created a Compendium of information on the chakra system. You will never find it in a bookstore or online, but you can, for a donation, request a copy here.

As part of that process, I realized that I used all sorts of words like spirit, soul, archetype, incarnation that most of us assume we understand. But do we really?

If my counseling practice of over forty years is any indication, we actually don’t know what they mean. Or, we can’t articulate it. They’re in that same mental folder Spiritual Stuff.

So I created The Unapologetically Eccentric Glossary. Here’s part of the introduction …

These are definitions that I have developed over 40 years of practice with actual persons and their struggles. They are things I say aloud to clients/patients to make sure we’re on the same page. What’s important, though, is not that you agree with my definitions. What’s important is that you give some serious thought to these sorts of words, figure out what you believe about them, and are able to articulate them clearly to yourself or to persons who come to you for care.

So just as it is supremely important to remember that the chakras are best considered as a system, and are meant, at all times, to work together, it is also incumbent upon each one of us to learn and know the vocabulary that best fits our belief systems.

Today’s Chakra Vocabulary Word is B/H/M/S.

In the sense of chakras, B/H/M/S: stands for body/heart/mind/spirit, the four divisions into which I believe all humans can be discerned, should such segregations be necessary. And, sometimes they are, just so we can talk about what’s actually going on rather than using a broad brush.

They appear in order of density:

Body functions at the speed of earth.
Heart functions at the speed of water.
Mind functions at the speed of air.
Spirit functions at the speed of fire.

These are also the physical elements to which they correlate.

These are important because they play a major part in chakra detection. Let’s use an example.

Let’s say someone has financial issues.

Already we know that these are likely to show up somewhere in the vicinity of the second orange sacral chakra. Likely, they will also appear elsewhere, almost like a metastasis.

So, approached by quatrains, Orange sacral corresponds at the higher quatrain to sixth indigo brow chakra. That’s also a place to check.

Further investigation could yield information based on b/h/m/s, like this:

Often when an issue is seeded [by “seeded,” I mean: originated] in the body, it can mean that there’s a memory involved. Perhaps from this lifetime, or from others — past, present, or future.

When an issue is seeded in the heart, it can mean that there’s an emotion involved. Again, depending upon where the sensation arises from within the chakra, past, present, or future could be in play.

When an issue is seeded in the mind, it can mean that there’s a belief involved. Perhaps conscious, yes, but also — and more likely — subconscious. Again past, present, future could be in play.

When an issue is seeded in the spirit, it can mean that there is karma involved, also belief systems (not just a belief as above), also religious training. Again past, present, future.

Each of these b/h/m/s, whether provoking memory, emotion, belief, or karma et al, will have a different story attached to it, regardless of whether they all describe “financial issues” or not.

In order to heal, and thus have a chance at cure, each story will have to be addressed in some healing, wholing way.

Each chakra has its own spectrum of B/H/M/S realities, often vastly different ones from chakra to chakra, and uniquely suited to your growth this time around.

Now, how to Body/Heart/Mind/Spirit play out in your chakras?

Blessèd week.
