is set against the neuromuscular junctions and is intimately connected with low self esteem. The supression of Killer T-cell activity keeps the body from attacking itself. The Aids virus seems to be connected to auto-immune dysfunction involving the second and fourth chakras.

THIRD CHAKRA—Represented by the adrenals and the solar plexus. The stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, and spleen are the organs represented here. Personal power and control over one's life, as well as comfort with our relationships are the goals and victimization is the block. The ability to see the world as nurturing, and not threatening is the empowerment. Abuse and anger affect this chakra, as well as conflict between dominance and suppression, so the individual may be tyrannical or submissive in their behavior. For example, ulcers often occur in people with a dominant exterior and a submissive dependent inner life. This physical pathology invokes the adrenal and the root chakra. Also diabetes is not just the heart chakra. It is also a loss of personal power and a longing for the past. Many illnesses that are manifestations of chakra imbalance are a result of faulty data on old memory tapes programmed into the unconscious mind in the individual's early life and played back in the unconscious, deeply affecting self-image. Neuro-linguistic programming and /or homeopathic constitutional care are effective antidotes.

SECOND CHAKRA—The gonads, the spleen and the sacrum abide here. The associated organs are also the large and small intestine. Related pathology would include cervical and uterine issues as well as colitis and prostatitis, bladder tumors, malabsorption diseases, and low back pain. This chakra is the seat of sexuality. Through the spleen it is believed that prana and vital energy are taken into the subtle body. Sexual energies are an expression of mystical experience.
