The Knees
One of many largest and most complicated joints of the human physique, it’s the knees which permit motion to happen between your higher and decrease leg. With out knees you’ll stroll stiff and upright, transferring solely out of your hip joint. With out knees, you wouldn’t be capable of leap and bounce to nice heights, as you couldn’t bend your legs to provide the contraction you want with the intention to rise. It’s your knees that mean you can stroll or run, as in addition they mean you can ‘select the tempo’ at which you journey by means of life.

Bodily, knees are an ‘on the market’ joint, as properly. They’re so weak ‘bodily’ and but are positioned below a lot stress from your entire physique and thoughts. Simply consider it. Your knee cap (the patella) faces out to the world, in whichever path you level it in. When sitting, it may be the furthermost level of the physique that receives and provides vitality to and from its environment. It’s usually the first level of name in receiving the drive of life. Have you ever ever knocked your knee cap and almost jumped out of your pores and skin? And likewise, have you ever ever been struck behind the knee, inflicting you to virtually immediately collapse?

This vortex is generated by the functioning of the knee, because the centre which permits us to bend and flex, selecting our life path (and pace) at will. The Knee Chakra is small in comparison with that of your main vitality centres. It’s related in dimension to the chakras generated on the soles of your ft. Certainly, the two are linked. I sense the knee chakra as being in regards to the dimension of an outstretched hand.
Your knee chakra works in tandem together with your base or root chakra and serves to stabilise your presence within the bodily world. Each time, I start a therapeutic session, I’m intuitively drawn first to the knees. I place my palms upon them or within the vitality discipline simply out from the knee caps.

This is among the key explanation why your knees may be put below such pressure, notably when you regularly select to disregard the messages and steering of spirit and proceed to reside a purely ‘bodily targeted’ life.
