Testing . . . testing

Now we've reached past the halfway mark in talking about the chakras, let's have some fun.  I don't vouch for the reliability of any of the following, but I found them enjoyable, if that means anything to you.

Here's another quiz.

If you've got children, you might appreciate Selena's goddess pages for another quiz.


Or you can take the chakra test.  Below are my (not surprising) partial results.

The Artistic One

You have scored  100% Expression  - Your dominant Chakra is the "Throat or Blue Chakra"

The "Throat or Blue Chakra" is where the energy for communication and self expression originates from. It is located - as one may easily assume by its name - in one's throat. And this is the chakra which is most developed in you at this time.

Depending on your percentage score, there is always more room for development. When this chakra is under-active, you may stop speaking, become introverted and shy, and not be willing to communicate and express yourself. In many cases this may be due to your fear of speaking the truth. If over-active and out of balance with your other chakras, you may tend to become domineering, and also distance yourself from others. Your talents can suffer greatly when this chakra is out of balance.  What is most important is to find balance amongst all 7 chakras.

The Heart of the Matter

The heart chakra is the fourth of seven and needs little explanation.  It is located in the fenter of the chest, near the actual heart.  It is the dividing line between the lower chakras (base, sacral, solar plexus) and the upper (throat, brow, crown).  The energy of the heart chakra affects the lungs, the heart and the thymus.  The color of the heart chakra is green (or a soft pink).  Both pink and or green stones resonate with the heart chakra including calcite, jade, moonstone, rose quartz, and malachite.  Aromatherapy scents are bergamot, Melissa and rose.

A person with a balanced heart chakra is compassionate, understanding, loving, able to fall in love easily.  Someone with an unbalanced hear chakra is fearful, co-dependent, and dreads both commitment and betrayal.

To expand your heart chakra:  Get into a comfortable seated position with your back straight and your feet on the floor.  Close your eyes and breathe deeply (to a count of three).  As you inhale imagine that you are taking in bright, healing, loving light.  Exhale just as slowly, imagining that energy spreading throughout your body, more and more with each breath.  Let your energy go down to the Earth through your feet and up to the heavens through your crown.  When you are ready, come back into yourself and open your eyes.  You should feel calm and more relaxed.
