Resonance
XXVII — Chakras – An Introduction
Resonant energy isn't always the infinitesimally small particles which vibrate to the Universal song in our life. There are other centres of energy which have their own vibration and frequency, and there is no better example of this wonderful creation than in our Chakras.
Chakras are the vital fountains of energy found in the human body. They are the very source of life and well being. Harnessing the powers of the Chakras is a practice used by Hindu tantrism for many thousands of years to nurture and charm the spiritual side of oneself. It is important to keep constant the flow of energy within our bodies as any blockage will lead both to discomfort and can lead to anxiety, stress and strain, aggressiveness, discontentment, and these are always the precursors to some kind of debilitating illness.
There are seven main sources of energy centres found in the human body, each travelling along the spinal column from the base of the back to the base of the head. Taking the time to learn about the seven primary Chakras will help you empower all aspects of your life. It will develop in you greater skills in intuition, more awareness of the emotional, physical, and spiritual need to keep a well and balanced life. The seven Chakras are like the seven beautiful rainbow colours, and anyone viewing such a panoramic and awesome spectacle cannot be but amazed at its natural majesty of beauty.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
