“A chakra is a swirling vortex of energy. Energy can be seen flowing into all chakras from the Universal Energy Field. Each swirling vortex of energy appears to suck or entrain energy from the Universal Energy Field. They appear to function as do fluid vortexes we are familiar with in water or air such as whirlpools, cyclones ,water spouts and hurricanes. The open end of a normal chakra in the first layer of the aura is about six inches in diameter at a distance of one inch from the body. Each of these vortices exchange energy with the UEF. Thus when we speak of feeling “open”, that is literally true. All the major chakras, minor chakras, lesser chakras and acupuncture points are openings for energy to flow into and out of the aura. We are like sponges in the energy sea around us. Since this energy is always associated with a form of consciousness, we experience the energy we exchange in terms of seeing, hearing, feeling, sensing, intuiting or direct knowing. In eastern esoteric literature, each of the 7 chakras is seen having a certain number of petals. On closer investigation, these petals appear to be small rotating vortices spinning at very high rates. Each vortex metabolizes an energy vibration that resonates at its particular spin frequency. The Sacral Chakra, for example, has six small vortices and metabolizes six basic frequencies of energy, and so on for each of the other chakras. The colors observed in each chakra are related to the frequency of energy being metabolized at its particular rate.” –Author Barbara Brennan from Hands of Light
