The Seven Primary Chakras

Lance Baker
 The Chakra System

This book is intended to be an introduction to the chakra system, particularly the seven
primary chakras. There are more than these, however these are just the main energy points
of our body to get you started.

These seven primary chakras run along a central vertical line of our body. The middle five
also have a front to rear axis; I will delve deeper into those in a later book.

A chakra is a constant spinning vortex of light. It has a dual spiral, where it spins energy in
(clockwise) and out (anti-clockwise) of our bodies. These seven primary chakras are the
main ways our body absorbs and processes Akasha (Chi life force). It then distributes this
life force energy to each of our relating organs and cells within our body.

When these get out of balance they can manifest as different physical illnesses or
emotional/psychological difficulties.

This can be used as a rough guide to see if anything mirrors a concern in your life. The best
thing to do with an energetic imbalance in your body, is change the way you live. Most
imbalances come from you either consciously or unconsciously burying something inside or
blocking yourself from something you need in your life. Sometimes these things can be
obvious, often however it's hard to see yourself. Perhaps you can see, but making that
change is too hard.

If you need outside help with any of these concerns I suggest you see an intuitive energy
healer to rebalance your chakra system or hypnotherapist to help you work with your
subconscious to make the changes you need to get your life where you need to be. Better
yet, get yourself to a workshop and learn these skills yourself!

I have a healing clinic in Newcastle NSW Australia where I offer energy healing, counselling,
meditation and hypnotherapy sessions. If you’re not local to the area and still feel drawn to
work with me, I do offer distance healing sessions to anywhere in the world with skype:
energy works regardless of whether you are in the same room or the other side of the world
and it is the same with talk based therapies like counselling and hypnotherapy. I also run
regular energy healing workshops and teach hypnosis for the Australian Academy of
Hypnosis. You can find more of my details at the back of this book.

I also have a chakra healing meditation you can download and listen to at home here:

vibration and the root chakra is the lowest vibration of the human system. As we go up the
body the vibrations rise to higher levels. It’s located between our genitals and anus at the
perineum. Fitting for being at the base of the main chakra system, it’s all about our base
primary needs. These needs being the needs of shelter, food, clothing, security and safety.

inner child and our emotions. It's where we hold our connections to the full range of emotions
from the depths of depression all the way up to pure ecstasy and joy! The sacral is where

Solar Plexus Chakra

 The solar plexus is the core of self, our centre of personal power. It also sits in the core of
our torso. It’s you, what makes you, how you see yourself, feel about yourself and talk to
yourself. This is where your self esteem comes from, and also the polarity, and the negative
self talk! The solar plexus is what powers your will and determination to make all the things

Anahata Chakra

Heart Chakra
The heart chakra is our centre of love, not surprising since the heart is always talked about
when expressing love. This love is an all encompassing love. The love of the heart chakra
includes romantic love, but also the love you share for family, and friends. It’s the love of
compassion you express to a stranger in your community when you offer a helping hand or
give a warm smile to someone who is down. It’s the love of life, and the universe, it’s
everything. It’s also the point of our bodies that our healing abilities flow through for self

Throat Chakra
The throat chakra is your centre of communication and expression. This chakra links not just
with your mouth for what you say, but also your ears, for what you hear. A balanced throat
chakra really opens up the ability to not just hear what is going on, but to listen and
understand. Communication is dynamic in that it is not just one sided, there is a give and a
take. The throat chakra also extends to the arms and includes the written part of
communication. Its main purpose is to help us express our truth and understand the truth of
others.

 Sixth Chakra

Ajna Chakra

Third Eye Chakra

 The third eye chakra is not a literal eye, with lashes and a pupil. It is the internal eye, often
referred to as our imagination, however it is much more than that. This is where you open up
to your intuition, picking up the un-said energetic aspects to interactions with others. It links
to our thoughts and focus on and of them. Opening this centre up can lead to seeing things
in spectrums unseen by others for example seeing auras or psychic impressions. This is also
where our ability to lucid dream and astral travel comes in.

and it’s top of the stack for a reason, it is our connection to the heavens, the divine, the
universe! You can pull universal energy in through your crown to feed your entire body and
the energy that comes out of here feeds your aura. The crown chakra is where you become
in union with everything. This is where you open up your creativity and tap into that universal

 Meet the Author:

Lance Baker ​has trained in Hypnosis, Mesmerism, The Swan Protocol, Reiki, Access Bars,
Holistic Counselling and Meditation. Lance delved deep into the world of energy healing, the
human biomagnetic field and adapted that with energetic hypnosis and mesmerism. This
gave him a unique perspective on the workings of energetic transference to facilitate deeper
changes within hypnosis and energy healing. Lance’s learnings have come from deep
practice and time spent with energy, from studying with numerous teachers and from delving
into old texts to learn from healing masters of the past who are no longer with us.

Lance’s personal experiences with chronic pain led him towards a path that was different to
how he ever imagined his journey would become. He had undertaken brain surgery to
alleviate symptoms associated with a large cyst. Lance instead was left suffering chronic
pain in the form of a migraine lasting 9.5 years! With less faith in western medical options,
Lance spent close to ten years trialing various medical and non-traditional healing
techniques, this led to Lance taking control of his own life and finding relief from his pain. By
utilising energetic techniques he learned to free himself from the pain of the chronic migraine
that he was told could not be cured.

He has a passion for learning new ways to help

clients and students. He will always be willing to
learn new techniques to promote his own
development and also assist his students find their
own unique voice and style in a way that they can
understand.
