How emotions affect the chakras

Emotions and states that are able to close down chakras, if they're not processed adequately.

There are emotions and states that are able to close down chakras, if they're not processed adequately. Anodea Judith calls them 'demons' in her book 'Eastern Body, Western Mind'. The demons affect the 'rights' that are associated with the chakras.

1. Root Chakra
Fear
The right to be here
2. Sacral Chakra
Guilt
The right to feel
3. Navel Chakra
Shame
The right to act
4. Heart Chakra
Sorrow
The right to love and be loved
5. Throat Chakra
Lies
The right to speak and hear truth
6. Third Eye Chakra
Illusion
The right to see
7. Crown Chakra
Attachment
The right to know

Since the states of the chakras are very much influenced by emotions, it may be a good idea to work through feelings to improve those states. The Feelings section of this website is about that.
