The Seven Energy Centers in the body are like seven different kinds of batteries
that store seven different forms of energy, from heat in the first
center to cosmic energy in the seventh. The energetic heart is the main
center of the system of seven centers, with three energy centers above
the heart and three below. All the centers contribute to the development
of the heart, and conversely, the power of the heart energizes all the
centers above and below.
The energy centers have been studied and practiced for thousands of years,
in every spiritual system starting with Hinduism, where they were called
chakras.
The ability of the centers to function and to handle the energy they're
designed for is vital to spiritual development. As your centers develop
a larger capacity, your meditation experiences will be deeper, bigger,
and carry over longer into your day. What was frightening before will
become inspiring and useful when your centers can handle the energy.

While New Age teachers have popularized the chakras, they are
usually misrepresented, which makes their development all the more
difficult. For an example of the difficulty facing western seekers of heart
development, the Hindu system identifies the color of the heart
chakra as green. Actually, the heart emits a yellow color, the
middle color in the visible spectrum and the apparent color of the sun; it is a
miniature sun in the chest. If you look down upon the heart in a
transcendent experience, it appears green because green is just above yellow
in the spectrum. But to effectively energize the heart, you need to
be IN your heart, not above it. Visualizing the color of the sun will help
you discover the power and radiance of the sun within you.
We find there is as
much need for development in the three lower centers as in the three higher
ones. De-emphasizing the full development of the lower chakras is an error
if one wants to live in the world.
The discovery of the pairings of the energy centers, for example the throat
center with the sexual center, is especially important for emotional
healing and practical application of the energies.
In this course, you will learn the methods of developing the energy
centers by concentration, breath, sound, music, and movement. You will
relate the energy centers to the periods of your life, and you will learn
methods by which the power of the various energy centers can be observed and
measured.

Course 105 is only available as part of the second year
of IAM-U, The
University of the Heart, due to its prerequisites.
The members of the Class of 2012 reported that course 105
was one of the most transformational courses in the two-year
curriculum.
All the energy centers contribute in different ways to your health,
to your healthy relationships, and to your ability to accomplish what you
wish to accomplish.
The amazing lives of the masters and saints are due primarily
to their development of the extraordinary power of the seven energy
centers, especially the heart.
