As a rule, we are given lessons which serve our learning, even though, the problems may remain unsolved. Even more, among possible problems, we, as physical individuals, usually choose those which are of our level. The problems which are too hard for us are usually beyond our comprehension. This is an example of the law of attraction: our vibration, through resonance, attracts us to challenges which correspond to our vibration.
This principle can often be seen in how our strong chakras correspond to the level of problems we choose to work on. Your most active chakra determines how you see life - simplistically speaking, if your 1st chakra is active you see life as a lesson in survival, 2nd - communication, 3rd - fight, 4th - love, 5th - poetry, 6th - research, 7th - service to God. Of course there are more complex variations of this but the main idea is that your vibration, your level of development defines your level of lessons, just because that is how you interpret external circumstances.
To better understand this principle, ask yourself what is your favorite color? The chakras generally correspond to colors: 1st - red, 2nd - orange, 3rd - yellow, 4th - green, 5th - blue, 6th - purple, 7th - violet. That is one of the clues to your most active chakra.
Another clue comes from your highest excitement. What is your highest excitement? Simplistically, general themes for the 1st chakra lessons is basic survival, food and reproduction, health, physical labor, nature, nurture and workout;
2nd chakra - communication, money, sales, facebook, movies, TV, sex and hugging;
3rd chakra - relationships, domination, subordination, hierarchy, management, fight, fight for freedom, competition, competitive sports, war, government service, duty and honor;
4th chakra - love, trust, compassion, kindness, feelings, intuition, energy healing, unity, unity with people and nature, improvisation and expression of feelings in various arts.
5th chakra - work with sound, poetry, singing, channeling, communication with spirits, arts related to taste and smell, kissing, psychic work and healing via sound
6th chakra - inspired research, inspired science, inspired engineering, inspired mental work, psychic work via vision and understanding, inspired psychoanalysis and inspired creative visual arts;
7th chakra - service to God, direct communication to God, embodiment of God's love on earth via selfless service.
Not all people have a single dominant chakra. You may have 2,3 or any number of active chakras and variable interests.
Yet, looking at your highest excitement at this stage of life helps you to realise what kind of lessons are you learning at the moment and importantly, recognise which way you are heading. You can easily see that, at this age, the humanity is still stuck in the lessons of the lowest 3 chakras - survival, sales and war. You can now better understand the sacred meaning behind the idea that the humanity is awakening to love and compassion. That was the main idea of the New Testament - the shift from 3rd chakra - domination, war, fear, subordination and tribulations of the Old Testament to the 4th chakra - love, trust, compassion, kindness and unity of the New Testament.
You may look at your past and see which lessons you have already completed, which ones you are learning now and which ones are coming.
Interestingly, when you are working on certain level of lessons, the next level up usually seems like magic. The physical worker of the first chakra is fascinated by sales profession. The art of communication of 2nd chakra seems like magic to him-her. The salesperson of the 2nd chakra is fascinated by the glamour of competitive sports, heroism of war and honor of soldiers of 3rd chakra. The manager of 3rd chakra level is inspired by the ideas of unity, magic of intuition and miracles of healing of the 4th chakra. The compassionate service people of 4th chakra - nurses, massage therapists, caregivers are fascinated by sound healing, music and prayers of the 5th chakra. The singers Of 5th chakra are fascinated by the inspired science of 6th. The inspired scientists of 6th chakra are at awe of the direct connection that people of God (7th chakra) have with God.
Interestingly, the circle closes and 7th chakra connects directly to 1st. The purple color of 7th chakra transitions to the red of the 1st chakra. Correspondingly, people of God usually are very close to nature and live simple lives full of sacred physical activities related to nature. Similarly, the physical workers of the 1st chakra have a direct and unsophisticated connection to God.
Another thing to consider is that chakras are interacting with each other.
They have wave nature and are similar to music notes. They harmonize as notes in a chord. Three chakras, 1-4-7 harmonise together in the idea of unity. 1st chakra is about unity with nature, 4th - unity with all sentient beings, and 7th - with god. The 3 colors of 1-4-7 chakras are red - green - violet. Due to resonances in these chakras, it is easy to shift from activities and lessons of one chakra to another in this triad: from physical labor (1) to love and kindness (3) and to unity with God (7). And vice versa. In general, there is a good resonance and agreement between chakras separated by 2: the above mentioned triade 1-4-7, and the duos: 2-5 (communication) and 3-6 (mind, structure, logic and rules).
Let me explain. There are several traditions by which chakras are translated to musical notes. The main tradition is as follows
1 root - C - red
2 sacral D orange
3 solar plexus E yellow
4 heart F green
5 throat G blue
6 third eye A indigo
7 crown B violet
From the musical analogy, you can deduce very interesting observations. Nearby notes and chakras when activated simultaneously cause dissonance: the focus on nature and survival (1, root) somewhat dissonates with the focus on communication, sales, TV and sex (2, sacral). The later (2) dissonates with fight, domination and hierarchy (3, solar plexus). The later (3) somewhat dissonates with the focus on love, kindness, unity with humanity and intuition (4, heart). There is less discordance in higher chakras - heart (4) and music - poetry - (5, throat) are in good harmony. The later (5) often can cooperate with mind (6). And there is a pretty strong dissonance between mind (6) and divine bliss (7): it is a big challenge in meditation to silence the ever-going mind (6) and to shift into the vibration of divine light (7).
