Love, fear and hatred spring from same chakra

The human body actually has 109 nerve centers, but among those, nine centers are important; and even in those nine, seven centers (chakras) are of primary importance. And when energy (kundalini) or consciousness flows through these nerve centers, there are different emotions, feelings or sensations that one experiences. 

The base of spine or the sacrum is the location of the first chakra called the Muladhara chakra. When this chakra is activated, one experiences enthusiasm in life. When it is dormant, then one experiences dullness and inertia. This is the first chakra. The base of the spine is associated with the earth element.

The same energy moves upwards to the second chakra which is located behind the genitals and it manifests as procreation or creation – meaning in the form of any creative activity or as sex drive. When you are obsessed with sex, then you do not do anything creative. When you are engaged in any creative activity, then sex lust does not trouble you. So here the energy could manifest as a creative or procreative tendency. The second chakra is associated with the water element. It is the same energy (kundalini) that is moving through the nerve centers. Kunda means ‘pot’ in Sanskrit. The body is like a pot, and the energy in this body is called the kundalini. 

The same energy moves upwards to the navel region and manifests in four forms or feelings. They are jealousy, generosity, joy, and greed. When people feel jealous they feel some sensation in the stomach region. The third chakra is associated with the fire element.

From the navel region, the energy moves upwards to the heart region which represents fear, love and hatred. When people feel hatred or fear or love, the sensation is felt in the heart region. Love, fear and hatred are all the same. When there is love, there is no fear. When there is fear, there is no love. At any point of time, only one of the three emotions takes the front position while the other two move to the background. It is not that they disappear entirely. When they are so full of hatred, they have no fear at all and they have no love at all. 

When the same energy moves to the throat chakra, you feel gratefulness, and you have a sensation in the throat region when you experience grief. When you are grieving, your throat chokes. And when you feel very grateful, then also your throat chokes. 

When the consciousness moves to the centre of the forehead, it manifests as anger, awareness or alertness. Knowledge and awareness are depicted by the sixth chakra. The same point is also the seat of anger, and is also said to be the region of the mystical ‘Third Eye’. You must have read or heard the story of how Lord Shiva opened His ‘Third Eye’ and burnt Lord Kamadeva into ashes. This ‘Third Eye’ is the seat of anger as well as the seat of knowledge and awakened wisdom. 

When the Consciousness moves to the top of the head, then one experiences only bliss. There is nothing else. You feel totally connected and one with everything. You feel so blissful.
