TOWARDS HOLISTIC AMALGAMATION

Our precious human body is made up of two layers; the interior (the spiritually invisible) and the exterior (the materially visible). We are aware of the visible, physical body. Life energy or prana flows through the body via seven chakras or energy spinning junctions, which enlivens almost 72,000 nadis or power points. The chakras are the major holders of this cosmic energy, and lie along the spinal cord, connecting the astral body with the physical sheath.

We maintain our physical health by regular exercises and wholesome diet. Similarly, the spiritually invisible body too needs nourishment, met basically by the Divine Connect in regular prayers and meditation and also through colourful fruits and vegetables, which has been benevolently and abundantly provided by Mother nature. Let us begin by understanding the subtle chakras of our body, the colour associated with each of them, and fruits and vegetables that promote their working to the optimum:

1. Muladhar Chakra: This is the lowermost chakra, which helps us to remain rooted to the earth. It denotes survival skills, josh, vitality, strength and a sense of being grounded or secure. One whose root chakra is healthy will also be abundantly wealthy. The vibrant colour red is associated with this chakra. Fruits like apples, cherries, watermelon pomegranate, red leaves, beets and tomatoes are rich and promote spurting of energy levels.

2. Swadhisthan Chakra: This chakra, also termed the Hara emits orange colour relating to the element of water in the human body. It depicts creative energy, in all its aspects. Carrots, oranges, papaya, pumpkin, yam, peach and apricots help to increase creativity levels and a sense of self worth and positivity.

3. Manipur Chakra: Also called the solar plexus, this chakra emits yellow colour and regulates the fire element in our body. The energy in this chakra takes the form of emotions like jealousy or greed and can also mean positivity and sunshine. It is hugely responsible for feelings of confidence, cheer, courage, joy, self-esteem and harmony. Mangoes, sweet corn, lemons, bananas, jackfruit, pears, mustard, turmeric, corn and pineapple lift our mood instantly.

4. Anahat Chakra: This chakra, which emits green colour and relates to the air element, regulates our relationships with others and also determines love, fear, compassion and piety. Since God intended humans to live with utmost love, He has surrounded us with greenery all around and abundant green food in the form of green vegetables like cucumber, fenugreek, spinach, cabbage, parsley, all gourd varieties. The leafy vegetables remove and fix acidity immediately.

5. Vishuddhi Chakra: The throat chakra, as it is called, emits blue colour and regulates the functioning of thyroid and para thyroid glands. This chakra is responsible for our ability to express our true feelings like grief and also our artistic abilities. This chakra is generally nourished by liquids like lukewarm water, coconut water and fruit juices. Blue food is a rare occurrence in nature.

6. Ajna Chakra: This chakra, also called the third eye carries indigo colour, a mixture of red and blue. A well developed ajna chakra endows the person with intuition, memory and intelligence. Also, forgiving others becomes easy. Grapes, raspberries and plums are quite helpful in promoting peace and wisdom.

7. Sahasrar Chakra: Also called the crown chakra, this chakra connects us to the Divine. This chakra emits violet colour and offers wisdom, power to perform miracles and transcend relativity. Figs, plum, raisins, beets, turnips, brinjals and olives empower the chakra. It needs to be mentioned that engaging in spiritual pursuits and meditation enhances the spin of this chakra.

Our emotional, psychological and neurological health aligns, to a great extent, on the colours we choose to wear and eat and invite into our lives and homes. For a healthy heart, use more of green in its various hues and eat more of greens. Similarly, for better digestion, consume yellow coloured foods and wear more of yellow shades. This holistic amalgamation promotes and accentuates healings. For excellence in expression, add on more blues to your home interiors. I feel compelled to mention here that AUM is the oroginal Mahamantra, which activates and balances all the chakras to their most desirable and harmonious levels.

From the perspective of spirituality, our life is actually a journey towards self realization, which begins, undoubtedly from the root chakra, where we try to make ourselves secured and gradually progresses towards the sahasrar chakra, where it loses its individuality only to merge into the universal consciousness! Here, the ember of human ego gets sublimated. Life is all about our struggle to reach to this pinnacle of permanent joy and love !!!!

ALL THE VERY BEST
