Chakras and Your Career Success
A Chakra-by-Chakra Guide to Moving Through Career Challenges and Embracing Career

Opportunities
In our quest to understand ourselves better, to stay motivated and clear, to live our truth, to
be of the utmost service to others, and to embrace prosperity and joy in this life, our chakra
system can be a powerful metaphor for specific dynamics and developmental steps. Each
chakra is a powerful "pump" for circulating vitality, creative energy, and divine light through
both our physical body and also our mental, emotional, and energetic bodies. Finally,
those who would enjoy an optimal experience of being human can be well-served by
considering the chakra correspondences of their experiences, because the chakra system as
a whole is a bridge between the two sacred realms of heaven and earth: Our creative
power in the temporal realm is accessed and activated through the chakra system.
What are the chakras?
Anodea Judith, author of the chakra classic, Wheels of Life and other books (listed at the
end of this article), gives a brief chakra history on her website, www.sacredcenters.com. In
part, she says, "now that the chakras have become New Age parlance, there are many
interpretations of their meaning and function being bandied about. While this popularity is
making the chakras a household word, it is also spreading a lot of confusing, conflicting,
and often erroneous information. It is important to realize the chakras come from an ancient
tradition, which many New Age teachers have barely explored. Here is a brief summary of
the development of the chakras historically.
"The Vedas, which are the oldest written tradition in India, (2,000 - 600 B.C.) were written
largely by the Indo-European invaders of India, known as the Aryans. The Aryans were said
to have entered India on chariots, and the original meaning of the word chakra as "wheel"
refers to the chariot wheels of the invading Aryans. (The correct spelling is cakra, though
pronounced with a ch as in church.) The word was also a metaphor for the sun, which
"traverses the world like the triumphant chariot of a cakravartin." (ruler) and denotes the
eternal cycle of time called the kalacakra, or wheel of time. In this way, it represents
celestial order and balance.
"It is said the cakravartins were preceded by a glowing golden disk of light, much like the
halo of Christ, only this spinning disk was seen in front of them (perhaps their powerful
third chakras?). The birth of a cakravartin was said to herald a new age. It is also said that
the god Vishnu descended to Earth, having in his four arms a cakra, a lotus flower, a club,
and a conch shell. (This may have referred to a cakra as a discus-like weapon.)"
And so it is that the sacred centers we call chakras can also be called wheels of light or
wheels of life.

Often our obstacles and opportunities invite us to charge or dis-charge one or more chakras
to open ourselves to receive and enjoy more of what we want. In brief, the next page
