In esoteric thought energy is the expression and movement of consciousness. In order to understand the connection with the chakras, let’s focus on the “Divine energy” bestowed on the Christian for a moment. The symbolic meanings of the seven sacraments really aren’t much different.Īccording to Myss, “…the seven sacraments were, and still are, sacred ceremonies that imprint the individual with-to use Christian language-specific qualities of “grace or Divine energy.” Myss agrees that it is through the life-lessons themselves that we “receive empowerment.” More on this in a moment. As we expand consciousness, we gradually master its “seductive pull.” But we need to be in the world in order to incorporate higher consciousness through certain life-lessons. The evil Jesus is referring to is that which separates us from God, which is largely the seduction and illusions of the physical. Jesus was praying to the father about his disciples. “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from evil” (John 17:15). Notice that Myss didn’t say we need to escape the world, but that we’re not to be seduced by it. According to Myss, since the chakras are vertically aligned from the bottom of the spinal column to the top of the head, it suggests “…that we ascend toward the Divine by gradually mastering the seductive pull of the physical world.” In ancient Hindu thought, each chakra contains spiritual life-lessons to learn so as to advance individual consciousness. But Myss has nailed the connection between them by showing that they both symbolically represent the elevation of consciousness! On the surface this idea might seem ludicrous, right? Traditionally, the seven chakras are an ancient Hindu explanation of the human conscious-energy system, whereas the seven sacraments are of Christian origin and are believed to bestow divine grace on the individual. In today’s post we will address Caroline Myss’s belief that there is a correlation, symbolically, between the meaning of the seven sacraments of the church and our seven chakras. As we choose to live consciously, consciousness will be elevated, and an elevation in consciousness is direct evidence of worshiping God. Worshipping God through the human spirit means conscious choice and action.

While some Christans accept these as a definitive list of specific attributes, others understand them merely as examples of the Holy Spirit’s work through the faithful.In our last post we learned that Jesus taught God is spirit, and it is through spirit, or consciousness, that we truly worship and draw near to God. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. So, many times when people fall under the power, it’s the glory of God. The power of God has come on them the anointing of God is upon them. What does it mean to fall under anointing?Īnswer: Well, you say, “What is happening when people fall under the anointing ?” It means the anointing of God has come on them. this represents the Holy Spirit transforming the relationships between humans. this represents the Holy Spirit transforming the relationship among humans in their communities. this represents the Holy Spirit transforming our inner life. What are the three signs of the Holy Spirit? Believers attribute this behavior to the power of the Holy Spirit. Slain in the Spirit or slaying in the Spirit are terms used by Pentecostal and charismatic Christians to describe a form of prostration in which an individual falls to the floor while experiencing religious ecstasy.
