root chakra | sacral chakra | solar plexus chakra | heart chakra | throat chakra | brow chakra | crown chakra The Base or Root Chakra is associated with the color red. This chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our beings. Focusing one's attention on the color of a cherry popsicle or a juicy red apple can help bring our energetic body "down to earth" and in alignment with our physical body when we find ourselves energetically fleeting or in other words....."spacing off.

The second chakra is known as the sacral plexus chakra spleen chakra or sexual chakra. It is situated in the lower abdomen behind and approximately two inches from the belly button, in the area of the womb. The chakra is represented by the orange Svadhistthana mandala (ones own place), the element of water and it is also symbolised by a fish. It is the source of creativity and inspiration. The second chakra is the foundation of the emotional body, it influences our ability to feel emotions, sensations and atmospheres, and controls our ability to let go of our emotions. The second chakra influences our sexuality and sensuality, physical force, sexual and ardent love, open-mindedness, our ability to yield and cooperating amicably with other people. If this chakra is not working properly it cause negative influences in the physical, this is seen in the form of emotional problems or sexual guilt, and excesses in food, sex and drugs.

Description of the Chakras
Written by © Ewald Berkers What chakras are and their psychological properties Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras can have various levels of activity. Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. . 1 - Root chakra The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. . 2 - Sacral chakra The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. . 3 - Navel chakra The Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. . 4 - Heart chakra . 5 - Throat chakra . 6 - Third Eye chakra

Einstein's Most Famous Thought Experiment
John D. Norton Department of History and Philosophy of Science University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA 15260 Homepage: www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton This page (with animated figures) is available at www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/goodies Einstein recalled how, at the age of 16, he imagined chasing after a beam of light and that the thought experiment had played a memorable role in his development of special relativity. Famous as it is, it has proven difficult to understand just how the thought experiment delivers its results. It fails to generate serious problems for an ether based electrodynamics. I propose a new way to read it that fits it nicely into the stages of Einstein's discovery of special relativity. For more details, see: "Chasing the Light: Einstein's Most Famous Thought Experiment," prepared for Thought Experiments in Philosophy, Science and the Arts, eds., James Robert Brown, Mélanie Frappier and Letitia Meynell, Routledge. 1.

Experimental Basis of Special Relativity
Physics is an experimental science, and as such the experimental basis for any physical theory is extremely important. The relationship between theory and experiments in modern science is a multi-edged sword: It is required that the theory not be refuted by any undisputed experiment within the theory's domain of applicability. It is expected that the theory be confirmed by a number of experiments that: cover a significant fraction of the theory's domain of applicability. examine a significant fraction of the theory's predictions. At present, Special Relativity (SR) meets all of these requirements and expectations. Other than their sheer numbers, the most striking thing about these experimental tests of SR is their remarkable breadth and diversity. There are several useful surveys of the experimental basis of SR: Modern Tests of Lorentz Invariance on LivingReviews.Y.Z. Zhang's book is especially comprehensive. Textbooks with good summaries of the experimental basis of relativity are: M.
