The Knees
One of many largest and most advanced 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 leap 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 let you stroll or run, as in addition they let you ‘select the tempo’ at which you journey by life.
An ‘Out There’ Joint
Bodily, knees are an ‘on the market’ joint, as nicely. They’re so susceptible ‘bodily’ and but are positioned below a lot strain from the whole physique and thoughts. Simply consider it. Your knee cap (the patella) faces out to the world, in whichever route you level it in. When sitting, it may be the furthermost level of the physique that receives and offers vitality to and from its environment. It’s usually the first level of name in receiving the pressure 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 at the back of the knee, inflicting you to nearly immediately collapse?
Certainly, it’s that very ‘vulnerability’ of this life directional centre, which leads to the knees deserving a particular place throughout the functioning of the vitality techniques of the physique – the chakras

Proper behind, by (and in entrance) of the knee is a vortex of vitality, a convergence of above and under, that sits inside your vitality area of sunshine. This vortex is generated by the functioning of the knee, because the centre which permits us to bend and flex, selecting our life route (and pace) at will. The Knee Chakra is small in comparison with that of your main vitality centres. It’s comparable in dimension to the chakras generated on the soles of your ft. Certainly, the two are linked. I sense the knee chakra as being concerning 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. Every time, I start a therapeutic session, I’m intuitively drawn first to the knees. I place my palms upon them or within the vitality area simply out from the knee caps. This serves to steadiness, stabilise and floor the vitality stream of the particular person I’m working with. And I at all times obtain the suggestions of how comforting and supportive it feels to carry and embrace the knees. Attempt it now your self. Simply place your palms over your knee caps.

Your knees interchange vitality and messages between your higher vitality centres (these related together with your religious path) and your decrease vitality centres (these related together with your bodily path). This is likely one of the key the reason why your knees could be put below such pressure, significantly if you happen to frequently select to disregard the messages and steerage of spirit and proceed to dwell a purely ‘bodily centered’ life.
