Similarities Between the Chakras, Sacraments and the Sefirot
I’ll try to keep this brief without going into much detail. The point of this article isn’t to preach to you why these are similar but to guide you into further research on the topics and to provoke the question as to why these similarities exist in spiritual thinking or religions that seem to be against one another. Perhaps people should set aside their differences on these topics and pick up that which they have in common.
In a previous article I provide an introduction to the Chakras and how they correspond to different elements and body parts. To go a bit further on them I’ll state what kind of lessons effect which specific Chakra.
The Chakras
Root: Lessons dealing with the material world
Sacral: Lessons dealing with sexuality, physical desire and work
Solar Plexus: Lessons dealing with personality, ego and self-esteem
Heart: Lessons dealing with compassion, forgiveness and love
Throat: Lessons dealing with self expression and will power
Third-Eye: Lessons dealing with Intuition, the mind, wisdom and insight
Crown: Lessons dealing with spirituality
