The Seven Directions of the Medicine Wheel

I’ve written about this before. Now, I’d like to match this spiritual knowledge from the Native culture to our understanding of chakra energy.

On a two-dimensional flat image (see above), there are only five energies visible. Missing, but implied, are the Above (Sky) energy and the Below (Earth) energy. In our chakra system, these would represent the Crown chakra and the Base chakra, our Godhead and Devil natures. The centre is “Great Spirit”, the true balance point of the whole system. In the Tree of Life, this is represented by #6 Beauty and the Heart chakra in the human body. But don’t take my word for it.

5 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

John 14:5-7 (Berean Standard Bible)

This question and answer sequence follows Jesus’ statement that “In My Father’s house are many rooms.” Even the Gospel of John numbering system seems to support the #6 Tree of Life position.

This should be an ‘a-ha’ moment for many people.
