Recall the diagram of the seven major chakric levels given on p. “…”. Chakric alignment refers to the physical positioning of your torso in relation to your partner’s torso such that the front of each of your chakras is in physical proximity to the front of each of your partner’s corresponding chakras (e.g. Venus to Venus). In practical terms what this amounts to is that you use a face to face position with your torsos

touching.

Dg. III-69: Chakric alignment

Regarding the Moon chakra, as long as your Sun chakra is aligned to your partner’s Sun chakra it will align that chakric level and so there is no need to try to separately align the Moon chakra also. Which,

incidentally, is also impossible to do, simultaneously. The same applies to the Admeitus / Erechtheus chakric level also. Regarding significant height differences between the partners, don’t worry about it. Provided you’re face to face with your partner with your torsos touching

everything seems to work fine. If in such an instance you want to focus on the alignment of a specific chakra, then angle your bodies to fetch these two chakras (e.g. your Mars and your partner’s Mars) into closer physical proximity to each other. But when working with the chakric system as a whole such an exact alignment is not absolutely necessary.

The advantage of aligning your chakras to your partner’s chakras in this way is that they will connect, vortices will be created, and large amounts of energy will be drawn in. This energy can be used to enhance the sexual process, for example by making orgasm easier to achieve and more powerful. It can also be used to energize the whole body, to cleanse and purify the entire body and energetic system and, consequently, to heal. It is also a great way to lift yourselves up when you’re feeling low or tired.

Whilst the mere physical alignment of your chakras to your

partner’s chakras in this way will automatically produce this drawing-in of energy, the whole process can be greatly enhanced by the introduction of conscious intention. First align the chakras in this physical way. Then intend that they connect, create these vortices and begin to draw in

energy. Place your mind in the chakras, either all at once or one at a time, and feel them connect to your partner’s chakras, feel them begin to draw in energy9.

9 _{Note that the intention is to connect your chakras to the corresponding chakras in your partner. For}

As your chakras connect to your partner’s chakras in this way, they will also begin to join and merge to some extent. This is something

which we will take a lot deeper later. For now, just let it happen and enjoy the strong feeling of closeness which it produces.

Finally, it is worth noting that for your chakras to connect and join with your partner’s chakras in this way they have to be sufficiently

similar, sufficiently complementary the one to the other, for their

energetic alignment to be possible. There are some people whose soul is just so different to what your soul is that such an alignment simply isn’t possible. The way that their individual chakras are held is just so

different, so fundamentally opposed to, the way that your chakras are held that there is nothing there to base a connection on. Indeed your very being repels and is repelled by his or her very being. No matter how externally beautiful or attractive a proposition to your conscious system of values that he or she might be. To see if this is possibly the case between you and your partner go through each chakra, the area of life it represents and try to determine both your attitude to it and your partner’s attitude to it. Then see how these all match up. You don’t have to have identical attitudes or even similar ones. What is important is that they be complementary. Complementarity is more easily understood in relation to the famous Taoist “yin-yang” symbol.

Dg. III-70: The Taoist yin-yang symbol

There is, at core, a fundamental sameness to both your attitudes as represented, metaphorically, by the small white circle within the black tadpole and by the small black circle within the white tadpole. However, there is also an essential difference to your two attitudes as represented by the one tadpole being white and the other black. Nevertheless, this

difference is of a sort which causes the two attitudes to fit together perfectly. Perfectly complementing each other to make a newer, greater whole. An example might be useful. Both partners fundamentally enjoy life, live in the present and generally wake up and go to bed with a smile on their face. All of which are indicative of a strong, well-functioning Jupiter chakra. He, however, tends to enjoy life in a wilder, more raw, more extreme way whilst she does so in a more refined, more detached, more tranquil way. His extremeness and his wildness helps her to enjoy the more intense, the more extreme pleasures of life whilst her

detachment and her tranquillity helps him to enjoy the more gentle, more tranquil pleasures of life.

chakras in this way (e.g. Venus to Saturn) won’t really work and won’t really produce much of an effect. Rather, it would also mean, as a point of physical practicality, that the alignment of the chakric system as a whole is not possible.

In practice, if you are looking at the chakras of two partners in this way you will probably find it necessary to look at how the chakras

interrelate as well as how one partner’s chakras relates to the other partner’s chakras. It is possible to do the whole thing energetically, moving your mind, your awareness into your partner’s body, resting it within each chakra, and seeing how they all are held. Then relate this to what you understand about the way in which your own chakras are held. Also, of course, if you are not too concerned about the why of it all, you could simply just go ahead and try to align your chakras with your

partners. If it works and the chakras connect, the vortices are created and the energy is drawn in, then great. If it doesn’t, well, at least you’ll know that it doesn’t. Generally you will find that the more loving you become as a person, the more accepting and the less judgemental and self-

righteous, the more will be the people with whom you can align chakras in this way. And the easier will it also be to align chakras with any one specific person, and the greater will be the extent to which you can do so.
