Explain the basics: CHAKRA

While witchcraft and chakras come from different spiritual traditions, some modern witches blend the two by incorporating energy work from Eastern practices. Even though chakras aren't originally part of witchcraft, understanding them can guide us toward areas where we need to heal or deepen our spiritual practice. Recognizing and working with chakras can help us open up more fully to the spiritual world.

What Are Chakras and How Do They Work?

Chakras might sound mystical, but they're essentially energy centers within your body. The concept comes from ancient Indian traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism. The word "chakra" means "wheel" in Sanskrit, representing spinning energy that flows through us. There are seven main chakras, and each one plays a unique role in your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Let’s break them down:

Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of your spine, this chakra is all about feeling grounded and secure. It relates to your basic needs—think survival, safety, and stability.

Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Just below your belly button, this chakra governs your emotions, creativity, and sexual energy. It's about pleasure and how you connect with others.

Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Right around your stomach, this one is your center of personal power. Confidence, self-esteem, and willpower are all connected here.

Heart Chakra (Anahata): In the middle of your chest, the heart chakra is all about love—both for yourself and others. It’s where compassion, kindness, and emotional balance reside.

Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): At your throat, this chakra is linked to communication and self-expression. It’s your voice—literally and metaphorically.

Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Between your eyebrows, this one taps into intuition and spiritual insight. It’s the seat of your inner wisdom.

Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Located at the top of your head, this chakra connects you to the universe, spiritual consciousness, and enlightenment.

How Do Chakras Work?

Think of your chakras as energy hubs. They take in, distribute, and release energy throughout your body, influencing everything from your mood to your physical health. When they’re in balance, you feel good—physically, emotionally, and mentally. But when a chakra is blocked or overactive, it can cause problems like stress, anxiety, or even illness.

For example, if your heart chakra is blocked, you might struggle with feelings of isolation or difficulty in relationships. But if it’s open and balanced, you’ll feel connected, loved, and able to give love freely.

Does Chakra Energy Flow Inside Us?

Yes, chakra energy flows within you. It’s often called "prana" (life force) or "chi" in other traditions. This energy moves through channels in the body called "nadis." When prana flows freely, you feel balanced and vibrant. But if there’s a blockage—like emotional stress or physical tension—it can disrupt the flow and lead to imbalances in your life.

The good news is that there are plenty of practices to help keep your energy flowing, like yoga, meditation, and breathwork. These tools help clear any blockages and ensure your chakras are in harmony, allowing you to feel more centered and connected in daily life.

Some practice that may include chakra in it:

Understanding Chakras: In Eastern spiritual traditions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism, chakras are believed to be energy centers in the body. There are typically seven main chakras, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, each associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.

Energy Work in Witchcraft: Many forms of witchcraft involve working with energy, whether for healing, spellcasting, or spiritual transformation. Practitioners may visualize, manipulate, or direct energy in rituals and practices.

Possible Connections: Some modern witches who also work with chakras might integrate chakra practices into their witchcraft rituals. For example:

Aligning Energies: They may use chakra meditation or visualization techniques to balance their own energy before performing rituals or spells.

Correspondences: Each chakra is associated with certain qualities (like creativity, intuition, or grounding). A witch might choose rituals or spells that correspond with the qualities of a specific chakra to enhance their magical work.

Personal Pathways: It’s important to note that the way chakras are integrated into witchcraft practices can vary widely depending on individual beliefs and traditions. Some may view chakras strictly through the lens of their original cultural and spiritual context, while others may adapt these concepts in a more eclectic or personalized manner.

🦋Accept Death🦋

There are no serious thoughts on the transformative process of dying in mainstream modern American society.

Work, fun, scroll, stream, eat, fuck, sleep, repeat.

Just avoid death as much as possible until youre 75 or 80 then, youre dead.

This place is such a set up, top to bottom.

All society teaches is fear, fear, fear and mindlessness.

It guarantees the vast majority go through life keeping themselves constantly busy and unthinking.

Theres a ridiculous societal assumption baked into the United States late stage capitalist hellscape that conditions everyone to assume that they will work from 21 to 65, retire at 65, "enjoy" retirement for like ten fucking years after working and slaving your entire life away for the capitalist corporate machine, then "die of old age" at 75 or 80.

Which is patently insane as there are too many outliers and exceptions for this to be a societal assumption in any logical sense but it is because it is a critical underpinning of the foundations of capitalism.

🦋Our Westernized upside down society & reality teaches, brainwashes, conditions and endlessly grooms us to fear death.

🦋Death is presented as the ultimate unknown, ceasing to exist, the cessation of all activity, nothingness, the loss of all current family and friends and the loss in a single moment of everything we have strived for, worked for, achieved and accomplished as well as everything we love and enjoy from hobbies to pasttimes to fandoms to friends, family, pets, jobs, careers, interests and anything else we have emotionally connected to while alive.

🦋Given how grossly death is misrepresented, naturally whenever it occurs, and due to a lifetime of conditioning, grooming and brainwashing, we reflexively fight death, struggle against it, are overcome with fear and existential panic and dread and do everything we can to delay it, stop it and avoid it.

🦋However, death is not the end of anything, and instead it is a beautiful transformation.

🦋Death is simply a metamorphisizing process in which we shed our temporary human caterpillar selves and we transform back into the limitless energetic eternal beings we have always been in the dreamscape where we originated.

🦋What we call "life" is an extremely temporary state of being that is actually nothing but a virtual reality simulation of the dreamscape, where we all originated from, that is limitless and endless because it is our imaginations and our minds.

🦋Unlike our current limited 3D simulated reality, the dreamscape is 10D ten dimensions and is all dimensions simultaneously at once. It is lush, vivid, surreal, colorful kaleidoscopic explosion, panoramic, expansive, stars, supernovas, black hole suns, wormholes, time rifts, collapsing stars, galaxy expresses, its everything at once.

🦋Death is nothing to fear.

🦋Death is a transformative process that should be embraced, meditated upon, reflected upon, a transition that we prepare our minds for, ruminated on, focused on, accepted, looked forward to, esoterically and cosmically understood and a journey that we willingly prepare our minds, souls and hearts for.

🦋We are nothing but cosmic travelers and death is just our journey back home to the dreamscape.

🦋Our ego deaths prepare us esoterically and energetically for our physical deaths which lead to our eternal energetic lives in the dreamscape.

🦋Ego death is experiencing the death of your human ego and psyche and the esoteric realization that you are only temporarily physically manifested as a human being in our current "reality" and that you are actually an eternal limitless energetic being that originated from and will return to the dreamscape which is just our imaginations.

🦋Experiencing an ego death is opening your third eye, having a kundalini awakening, activating and aligning all seven chakras and self-ascension.

🦋Your ego death is the realization that all the 3D concerns that are so obsessed over in "reality" are completely meaningless -- benefits, stock options, bi-weekly salary, 401k, doctors appointments, what kind of car you drive, how much money you make, what your job title is, what compant you work for, clout, prestige, status, how big your house is, luxurious vacations and resorts, designer clothes and shoes, expensive perfume and handbags, keeping up appearances, keeping up with the joneses, impressing people, verified accounts, blue checkmarks, fucking for clout, linkedin employment updates, being influential admired and respected, resume that speaks for itself, accolades and accomplishments, bling bling, reputation, climbing the corporate ladder, being an executive, promotions, year end performance reviews, raises, sign-on bonuses, negotiating salary, compliments, popularity, your net worth, extensive network, politicking, executive presence, trends, popularity, being liked, fitting in, social life, social calendar, being a busy bee, being booked and busy, social climbing, kissing ass of all the people that you want to know, stability, security, safety, work life balance, rainy day accounts, something to fall back on, backup plans, playing it safe, doing whats expected of you, living up to other peoples expectations of you, moralism, preening, inflated ego, inflated sense of self worth, egocentrism, consumerism, materialism, overconsumption, fast fashion, capitalist excess, corporatism, luxury cars, luxury life . . .

🦋Exactly none of that 3D bullshit can you take with you when you die.

🦋Only the things that exist in the 10D dreamscape actually matter -- love, energy, speaking truth, being a voice for the voiceless, soul, spirit, emotion, the mind, imagination, dreams, creativity, self expression, poems, improv, comedy, humor, satire, esotericism, wisdom, magick, spells, fantasy, trippy thoughts, mindfucks, rabbit holes, looking glasses, divination, crystals, gems, spells, tarot, esp, palmistry, singing, dancing, body movement, manifestations, turning thoughts to reality, alchemy, wishes, daydreams, fever dreams, art, painting, sculptures, hieroglyphs, third eyes, shifting consciousness, sex, mind melds, karmic soul connections and ties, twinflames, soulmates, eroticism, platonic love, sexual energy, dualism, fire, splendid suns, prophecies, visions, minds eye, ancestral wisdom, akashic library, walking through walls, walking on water, falling through the sky without dying . . .

🦋The process of death itself may be challenging or physically painful but that does not change the fact that it is a transformative process leading you back to your eternal energetic limitless butterfly self in the dreamscape.

🦋When you "go" to sleep, when you "fall" asleep -- where are you "going" and where are you "falling"?

🦋When you enter REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, you are simply shifting and altering your consciousness which is reflected in your shifted and altered brainwaves and this allows you to return to and visit the dreamscape that you originated from prior to your physical human manifestation on a nightly basis when you dream.

🦋So, when you "fall" asleep, you are actually "awake" because the current "reality" is actually a dream, the real reality is the dreamscape which you visit on a nightly basis when you dream and then when your alarm goes off and you "wake up" you are back asleep in the dream which is what our so-called reality actually is.

🦋So, there is no reason to "fear" death as you literally "die" temporarily every time you "fall" into a "deep sleep" (REM sleep), shift and alter your consciousness and temporarily return to and visit the dreamscape from which you originated on a nightly basis when you dream.

🦋Death is nothing but the permanent return of your self back to the dreamscape that you originated from and back to actual reality.

🦋Death is nothing to fight, fear, delay, deny, avoid, dread, or seek to escape from.

🦋Death is a beautiful transformation to be embraced, meditated reflected and introspected on, deeply thought about, esoterically accepted and philosophically energetically and emotionally prepared for throughout our very temporary human lives.

🦋Society and especially ofcourse capitalism teaches the exact opposite -- that you should cling to this "life" as much as possible beyond all reason, you should desperately hang on to everything that 3D "life" has to offer -- the wealth and assets you accumulated, the corporate ladders you climbed, the properties youve bought and invested in, the cars that you own, the vacays that you flexed on the gram, the corporate career that you slaved your life away for, the executive title that you accepted your golden handcuffs for, the six figure salary that you sold your soul for, the net worth, the network, the influential friends, the social circles, the clout, the respect, the admiration, the ego stroking, the self aggrandizement, the mythmaking and mythbuilding, the personas constructed, the reverential treatment, the automatic deference, the zeros in your bank accounts, your stock portfolios, your returns on investments, your LinkedIn profile, your Facebook friends, your social status, your so-called family and friends -- society teaches that you should cling to this meaningless garbage as much as you can and that you should fear and loathe losing it aka "losing your life".

🦋Death is not losing your life. You are shedding your temporary physical human manifestation self to eternally transform back into your limitless energetic self.

🦋All the 3D stuff they tell you to cling to is meaningless anyway. Its just how they keep you on the hamster wheel, keep you chasing, keep you working your life away in a 9 to 5, keep you working for the weekend, keep you logging into Slack, keep you signing on to Teams, keep you jumping on Zoom and into meetings, keep you performing like a circus animal for your performance reviews, keep you fighting for yearly 2 to 3% raises, keep you fighting for bonuses and promotions, keep you working mandatory schedules, unpaid overtime as a salaried employee, middle management hell, corporate malaise, golden handcuff night terrors . . .
