How do chakras and life force energy fit with LDS beliefs?


Laboratory experiments by quantum phycistists in the last few decades have scientifically shown the existence of a universal field of energy. This has been important as I have studied whether the premises of Energy Medicine fit with the gospel of Jesus Christ and LDS beliefs. It has been amazing to discover how much prophets have written about healing and the invisible, subtle energy of light around us. They have compared the universal, subtle energy that physicists discovered with the light of Christ and paired other principles found in both science and religion. Parley P. Pratt taught, "There are several of these subtle, invisible substances but little understood as yet by man, and their existence is only demonstrated by their effects." (Key to the Science of Theology, 39)  Elder Pratt, who was an apostle, follows by teaching that the purest and most refined and subtle of all substances performs the healing of the sick and that those with spiritual gifts can feel and see it. What validating statements for facilitators of energy healing!

LDS leaders have also used terms like "spiritual radiation," "intelligence" and "divine immanence" instead of the world's vocabulary that includes such terms as "Chi",  "life-force energy" and "auras." Scientists use yet other terms for these electromagnetic fields and their subtle energies such as "Bio-energetic field," "Zero-point energy," and "corona discharge." Whether called Zero Point Energy by science or intelligence or the light of Christ by religion, they must be the same life-giving, governing power that fills the universe. John A. Widtsoe wrote, "The intelligence spoken of by the prophet [Joseph Smith] corresponds fully with the [universal] energy of science." (Joseph Smith as Scientist, 141) It seems that science and religion are using different terminology to describe the very same essence! "The parallelism is complete. The holy spirit, in "Mormon" theology, corresponds with the ether of science." (Widtsoe, Joseph Smith As Scientist, 142)

 I have learned over and over that all truth fits together. God doesn't distinguish between scientific truth and religious truth because it is all His truth.People are usually surprised to learn that chakras are spoken of in the Bible. A chakra is a swirling vortex of unseen subtle energy.  Scientists speak of them as step-down transformers for higher frequency subtle energies in the human bioenergy field.

 Biblical prophets such as Ezekiel and Daniel use the Sanskrit word for "chakras" which is "wheels" when they speak of them. Ancient traditions teach about these main energy centers being vertically aligned in the body.The book of Ezekiel says the prophet saw wheels going "up and down" the body "as a rainbow." (See Ezekiel chapter 1) Every color and location that Ezekiel mentions for the vertical colored "lamps" he saw match  the location and/or color of the ancient tradition's chakras. Furthermore, that prophet taught that the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels! 


Energy Medicine's healing techniques, commonly called 'energy work,' help create an organized environment for the chakras/spirit so that the body's innate intelligence can then heal on the physical level as well. God creates all things first spiritually before they manifest physically on the earth. (Moses 3:5) It is no surprise then, that one can first cleanse the chakras, the inner vessel that 'houses' the spirit, to effect change on a physical condition or illness. No wonder energy healing modalities are considered spiritual healing processes. John A Widtsoe wrote, "The explanation of the mysteries of nature will be greatly simplified when the Mormon doctrine of the position of intelligence in universal phenomenon is clearly understood by scientific workers." (Joseph Smith as Scientist, 130) 

I am extremely grateful for Rapid Eye Technology  http://rapideyetechnology.com/directory/tamara-laing-mret-p-870.html. This was the modality that made amazing differences for our daughter time and time again. Her NAMI support group was amazed at the quick turnarounds she made at appointments of R.E.T..  I am also very grateful for other tools in the field of Energy Medicine that God has blessed us with. My daughter has certainly been blessed by appointments with a gifted cranio-sacral therapist,  and by Rapid Eye Technicians who combined their sessions with Reiki, Quantum Touch, therapeutic grade Essential Oils and Christ-centered Theta Healing. The premises behind these fit with Christian and LDS beliefs (although I have altered details on how I practice them to fit precisely with those beliefs.)

The Bible shows a plethora of support for principles of Energy Medicine, which I discuss in the book I am writing. In addition, new fields and discoveries in science offer much validating evidence. For example, science has discovered that forgiving others and ourselves actually affects our DNA. The discovery that DNA can change is of immense importance. The new scientific field of Epigenetics supports teachings that we can consciously use our emotions to affect our DNA and our immune response.Our thoughts, emotions and feelings affect us physically! We are no longer victims of our heredity. Bruce Lipton teaches that with this knowledge we become masters of our health rather than victims of genetic circumstance. Understanding this can give ill people great hope.

Additionally, exuding feelings of forgiveness is paramount to health. I learned firsthand that forgiveness spoken out loud affects my physical health. It also worked a miracle for my daughter. Her entire countenance and life changed in one 2-hour appointment based on forgiveness work spoken out loud in present tense. That miraculous appointment for stress management with Jan Graf in St. George, Utah included another Energy Medicine technique that is also found in scripture. It is instructive about the reality of light and darkness around us, and is taught by ancient and modern prophets. This second technique was used by every one of the most helpful energy facilitators my daughter met with. Explore this website to learn more about that type of  immense help.  

All of the above topics and more are addressed in my book. I firmly believe that energy work fits with the gospel of Christ!

Thank you for your work. I have been conflicted by what appears to be taught in the LDS faith and what I feel going on with my chakras. I appreciate someone taking the time to combine the two into something that can be read and understood.

I absolutely loved reading this post of yours! I have been piecing together ideas of how chakras fit into my Latter-Day Saint beliefs and learning about all of it has truly strengthened my testimony, helped me understand who I am, and given me a more positive out look on my life. Thank you

I'm so fascinated by this concept! I am looking in Ezekiel for the references you mention. I only see 4 wheels referenced. Can you point out the verse references for the 7 you refer to?

Tamara said...

Thank you for your question about the wheels Ezekiel mentioned. That sentence now more accurately reflects what I intended. Recall that the glory Ezekiel saw, “was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps; it went up and down among the living creatures and the fire was bright” (verse 13). Verse 22 says above their head it was the color of the “terrible crystal” (which Bible scholars debate as being either white or purple). Verse 26 says, “above the firmament over their heads it was the color of a sapphire stone” (deep blue). Verse 27 reads, “I saw as the colour of amber …from… the loins upward.” Verse 27 reads, “from the appearance of his loins even downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire.” I don’t know what color fire looks like to you, but orange or red seem to be likely candidates because, “the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. “ If you go back to verses 15-16 5 it speaks of “one wheel upon the earth,” by the [four] living creatures . The “appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl.” Scholars on various languages translate that word differently. Some say a beryl is gold while others say it is commonly light green (or bluish yellow, pink or white). Interestingly, the heart chakra is said to be green and/or pink. Since the colored lamps’ “brightness was as a rainbow,” (ROYGBIV) we are left to expect green somewhere. In my book Healing Arts there are other quotes about fire and glory and wheels. You can read in the Topical Guide under “wheel “and find other verses in Ezekiel 10 as well as other books.

The spirit told me years ago that energy healing fits with the gospel. This confirmation came with such power and evidence that I have never doubted it. The spirit has also directed me who or what to avoid to stay true. Thank you for the time and energy you have spent intertwining the two together. I look forward to studying your book. I will read every reference basking in the light of truth. What do I need to do to make sure I get a copy? Jeanette Hales

I agree. I think the closer we follow the gospel of Christ, we are aligning the chakras and energy around us. I think it is important to realize the correlation, because a lot of things in today's world are going away from faith is God and Christ and thinking this is completely different. Sometimes the words we use to describe something may be a little different between groups but the underlying idea I think is very much the same.

I'm very happily married with 5 great kids and 7 grandchildren. I am fascinated by the science behind subtle energy therapies because they made such a HUGE difference for my family. I am passionate about researching how the field of energy medicine fits with the gospel of Christ. I find great joy in being an Energy facilitator myself, helping people make peace with their past, releasing unresolved emotions and bringing light to dark places. I work in the healing arts and know that Jesus Christ is the source of all healing.
