DESCRIPTION

The Thymus Chakra is one of the most pivotal Chakras, which is also known as the ‘seat of the soul’. Commonly referred to as the ‘Higher Heart Chakra’, Thymus Chakra opening symptoms are represented through unconditional love (free of ego), spiritual growth, great immunity, compassion and forgiveness. These transpersonal features of the Higher Chakra facilitate divine inner transformation and spiritual broadening. The High Heart Chakra thus is closely linked with your overall vitality and well-being. An open Thymus Chakra helps one to be forgiving, soulful and full of compassion. People with an open Thymus Chakra often believe in spreading and passing on these divine gifts of love and compassion to others through their deeds and aura.

This is the place where ‘Intent’ is located. It is where you connect to the main intention of human birth, which is self-realisation and for that aim, you live many other intents that take you on that path. This Higher Chakra helps to bridge the connection between the emotions that we feel and the words that we associate with those emotions while expressing them in a verbal manner. Hence, if you notice, we often take a deep breath before we speak. The Thymus, or the Higher Heart Chakra is where the intent is associated with the words that are formed and about to be expressed after an emotion is felt. Let us look at an example, you scored a distinction in every subject, and you feel happy (emotion). You want to express this emotion or your happiness with words, this is when a particular energy rises to the Throat and then passes through the Thymus Chakra where the function of preparing what to speak begins by drawing or taking a breath. In a similar manner, the act of stopping the breath to prevent talking when a certain emotion is felt too is controlled by the Thymus Chakra. Hence, if you noticed many times, we don’t say or express words even if they are on the tip of the tongue.

THYMUS GLAND

The thymus is an endocrine gland in the human body which is situated between the throat and heart about 2 inches below the ‘V’ of your collar bones. It is an important part of the lymphatic system and of the endocrine system. This gland is most active during childhood, but as we grow older, it tapers down. Around the age of fifty, the Thymus gland stops working. And then we must do with whatever T-cells are still surviving in our body to combat illness.

It supports our immune response by producing T-leukocytes. These white blood cells perform three major tasks.

• Firstly, they distinguish inoffensive body cells from intruding pathogens
• Secondly, they destroy viruses or bacteria
• Thirdly they remember the attack the next time

Is Your Sacred Thymus (higher Heart) Chakra Healthy Or Blocked?

The Thymus (Higher Heart) signifies the supreme qualities of being one with the Universe. It teaches one the life lessons of being loving, forgiving and compassionate. For this, you need to imbibe tolerance, understanding and patience. It helps to lead a spiritually awakened life and display an altruistic and empathetic nature along. A healthy Higher Heart Chakra leads to having an excellent immune system, believes in reaching out to maximum number of people and increasing their web of connections. On the other hand, an unhealthy higher Heart Chakra signifies a misalignment with the Oneness of the Universe.

When this Karmic Chakra is open, one experiences and receives Love and also spreads love to others joyfully. An individual with an active Thymus Chakra spreads love, care, forgiveness and compassion. Moreover, it helps to materialise the dreams and desires of the soul in this lifetime.

Overactive Thymus Chakra

On the other hand, when this Chakra is overactive, it can lead one to tap into the dreams of others. Yes! You read that right. In such a situation, an individual usually taps into the dreams of others, and no more plays the role of a spectator instead, experiences them as his/ her own. As if the dreams are related to you, and you are the owner of the dream.

In addition to this, when there is an excess of energy flow in the centre of the Thymus Chakra, a person may end up being frigid, anxious, impatient, violent, fearful, nervous and become intolerant of people and situations around that he/she finds adverse. The person would find it difficult to forgive himself and others and would be overprotective.

Underactive Thymus Chakra

On the contrary, an individual with an underactive Thymus Chakra finds it really difficult to express emotions even when he feels it and lacks compassion and self-acceptance. This individual would find it difficult to process situations and end up submissive and allowing it to tread over him. He would tend to lose track of time and would often seem to lose opportunities. He would feel betrayed, overwhelmed and bitter about most of the things that revolve around him. Such individuals tend to hide in the face of adversity or subconsciously attack themselves and develop autoimmune disorders.

When energy is not flowing freely in the Thymus Chakra, the emotional effects associated are loss of feelings, self-sulking, lack of confidence or being hypertensive.

Physical Illnesses that arise are:

• Asthma: Pneumonia, Hypothyroidism
• Bronchitis: Lung cancer
• Hypertension: Heart attacks

Myasthenia gravis, ulcerative colitis (UC), Lupus, Autoimmune diseases.

Thymus Chakra Meditation

The centre part of the immune system is the Thymus gland. The Heart Chakra and the Thymus Chakra are connected to the Thymus gland. The Thymus Chakra Activation can be done by performing and meditating over the Sudarshana Gayatri Mantra and by practising the following given steps

Thymus Chakra Healing is effective when one chants the Sudarshan Gayatri Mantra. Given below is the mantra along with its meaning.

Sudarshana Gayatri Mantra

“Om Sudarshanaya Vidmahe Mahaajvaalaaya Dheemahi, Tanno Chakrah Prachodayaat

”Chanting this mantra regularly will create a shield of protection around the devotee’s body by the grace of Lord Sudarshana and offer protection from evils, and negative energies.

Sarva Karya Siddhi Sudarshana Mantra:

'Om Sudarshana Chakray Mam Sarva Karya Vijayam Dehi Dehi Om Phat'

Chanting this mantra regularly appeases Lord Sudarshan and offers victory and happiness in all walks of life. Let us now learn the significance of Sudarshana Chakra in order to correlate it with the Thymus Chakra.

The Sudarshan Chakra is the prime weapon of Lord Vishnu. He wore it on His right Index finger. The word 'Sudarshana' is a Sanskrit word where 'Su' means - right or correct and the word 'darshana' means vision. Thus, Su-darshan means divine vision or right Intent. This Holy weapon has 108 has saw-toothed sharp edges. According to the tantric texts, there are ten directions and from these directions there are ten dangerous kinds of doshas known as the Mantravada doshas which attack us. These10 Mantravada doshas are

• Tanthra,
• Manthra (spell),
• Uchatana (Separation),
• Visha choorna (Poison),
• Vidhveshana (misunderstanding),
• Mohana,
• Prayoga,
• Abhichara (black magic)
• Kruthrima (deception)
• Marana (Death)

Chanting the Sarva Karya Siddhi Sudarshana Mantra helps a devotee to appease Lord Vishnu and He protects His devotees by flinging the Sudarshana Chakra at the negative forces, the sharp edges of this Holy Sudarshana Chakra destroy the dark forces and thus the right intent of human origin or birth is preserved. This intent is nothing but self-realisation. It helps an individual to read between the lines and to see the exact purpose behind everything that happens in life. This may include events which are bad or good. During this pandemic outbreak of  coronavirus, it is very important and necessary to chant the Sarva Karya Siddhi Sudarshana Mantra, as this mantra works towards opening the door to self-realisation and helps in awakening your conscious mind. This mantra has the power to remove all the fear that has gripped you and guides you to a state that has higher vibrational forces. It has the strength to ignite the fire of healthy and strong immune inside you, which would, in turn, destroy the Virus of Corona. This divine mantra helps you to rise above and look at the clearer picture, and surrender to the great design of life with utmost faith. Once your fear is gone, and your immune becomes stronger, your Thymus Chakra is activated.

As stated in the Puranas, the Sudarshana Chakra is the most powerful weapon that can annihilate the strongest of enemies. It is believed to slay the enemies of law, order and conservation in the form of asuras, rakshasas and vikrutatma. Being the cosmic weapon of Lord Vishnu, the Sudarshan Chakra manifests the right intent of the soul and works towards fulfilling it. The power that a completely awakened and enlightened mind possesses is nothing else but the Sudarshan Chakra. It is also said that the sender has a complete control over the powerful and Holy Sudarshana Chakra even after it has been flung or released. The Sudarshan Chakra has a great speed and does not make any sound while in motion. When released, the Sudarshan Chakra can travel miles within a moment. If any hindrances or obstacles are sent by the enemy, than the speed of this Holy Chakra increases. Lord Krishna too adorned the Sudarshana Chakra in His rare right Index finger and had flung this weapon to behead a fierce demon (i.e. sever attachment to ego). According to the Holy ancient texts, once the Sudarshan Chakra is sent forth, it would continuously and relentlessly chase the enemy until it destroys it or until the sender of the weapon calls it off. It is also believed that if the enemy tries to create hindrances while being chased by the Sudarshana Chakra in order to stop it, the Chakra moves forward with doubled speed and power.

There are many legends that revolve around the origin and greatness of the Sudarshana Chakra. According to one legend, the Supreme weapon ‘Sudarshana Chakra’ was presented to Godhead, Lord Vishnu, by Lord Shiva Himself. According to another legend, the architect of God had caged the SunGod to reduce his scorching brilliance and heat. This act created a lot of Sun dust which was then utilized by Lord Vishvakarma to create powerful divine weapons. Some of the few powerful golden objects that were created by this Sun dust include the Sudarshana Chakra, the Trishoola and Shakthi, which were respectively the weapons of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Subrahamnya. Lord Vishnu is also known as the Sage of the wheel, holding the powerful Sudarshana Chakra and is worshipped as Chakrathazhwar. Also, the pride of demons Madhaihe and Jagai were destroyed by Sri Chaitanya through the Sudarshana Chakra. Lord Krishna, who is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was also given the Sudarshana Chakra by the God Head Lord Vishnu Himself.

During the event of Samudra Manthan, Lord Vishnu had cut the demon ‘Swarbanu’ into two, who later came to be known as ‘Rahu’ and ‘Ketu’. Thus, Lord Vishnu gained the power to control Rahu and Ketu through His weapon Sudarshan Chakra.

Meaning:

Chanting this mantra devotedly and with a pure heart purifies the mind and makes one disciplined. It clears all the Karmic imprints that are registered in the mind, and it clears the karmic imprints in the mind and body and allows the soul to hold higher vibrations.

As strongly believed by the devotees, the Sudarshan Chakra paves the way for salvation and is the most powerful among all the other weapons that Lord Vishnu possesses. The Chakra being an aspect of Lord Agni, also produces a lot of heat. Also, as mentioned earlier, the inner portion of the Chakra, which is circular in shape, is surrounded by fire, thus, representing the Sun God. The circular ring illustrates the victory of good over evil and the destruction of evil. As mentioned earlier, this Chakra destroys enemies in all ten directions and hence, is considered the “Protector of Dharma”.
