Our Universe has an abundance of energy that is scattered everywhere but it can’t be used directly. The law of conservation of energy states that the energy in the universe cannot be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. We interact with many forms of energy every day. When the universe came into existence the massive energy that was the same converted itself into many types of energy like cosmic energy, life energy, spiritual energy, and mental energy.
What is Cosmic Energy?
Cosmic energy is the life force of the universe, existing everywhere. It flows through the cosmos, between galaxies, within molecules, and throughout space. This energy drives the orbits of planets, powers the transformation of atoms into molecules, and shapes materials. The energy is incredibly powerful, capable of manifesting anything and everything. It is permanent, indestructible, and fundamental to the functioning of the universe. Whether on a planetary scale or at the level of atoms and molecules, everything occurs through cosmic energy. It animates life and maintains balance throughout the entire universe.
How does cosmic energy work?
Cosmic energy flows everywhere, including through our bodies along predefined pathways called Chakras and within a field known as the aura. Only a few people can sense this energy, and even fewer can channel its true potential. When someone fully understands the concept of energy and attains Moksha, they transform into entirely different individuals. They may develop abilities that seem extraordinary to others. Those who achieve Moksha can perform physical, mental, and spiritual feats far beyond the capabilities of normal individuals. An interruption to the flow of energy results in diminished function, leading to negative thoughts and feelings. Also causes diminished functionality of cells and organs and, therefore, leads to reduced productivity.
Cosmic energy and the chakra system of the Human body Connections
The chakras simply means disk in Sanskrit. We all have the power of Universe in our ‘chakras’ the energy centers in our body. There are energy centers all around our bodies. Our bodies have energy flowing in all parts of our bodies and the energy is accumulated here in the shape of disc hence the name chakra. The chakras are thought to be open and aligned for optimal emotional and physical well-being. If energy becomes blocked in one of the chakras, it triggers physical, mental, or emotional imbalance. So chakra centers need to be in perfect condition and balanced for the human body to be in healthy condition.
It is believed that there are seven chakras that run from the base of the spine to just above the top of your head. The cosmic energy moves through chakras centers in our human body where cosmic energy gets accumulated.
Each of the seven chakras carries a specific meaning, color, ability and represents a unique aspect of cosmic energy. If the body is in healthy condition then the cosmic energy can circulate properly within the body. Sometimes due to several reasons, the chakra centers in the body get closed or imbalanced. This disturbs the cosmic energy flow within the body. The disturbed energy flow within the body is the cause of the various imbalances within the body and sometimes even may lead to some illness and conditions.
When Chakra is blocked, there is not enough life energy flowing through it. This lack of energy can cause an imbalance in your body, affecting you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Physical imbalance includes headaches, blurred vision, sinus issues, eyestrain, hearing loss, hormone function. Emotional imbalance includes issues with moodiness and volatility and self-reflection. Mental imbalance includes negative and harmful thoughts, distracted mind, low confidence and courage. So if these are imbalanced then it disrupts the cosmic energy flow.
Once all of the chakras are opened, the energy evens out, and becomes balanced. You change entirely. You crave healthy food, you want to exercise, you just want to be clam and meditate to find the inner peace. The chakra centers when are at the healthiest make the body, mind and soul healthiest.
