Most of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feelings and stopping our natural energy flow. Blocking an experience or feeling blocks the corresponding chakra. This disfigures the chakra causing it to be clogged with stagnated energy or to spin counter-clockwise or spin irregularly.
When a chakra spins counter-clockwise, we send our energy out into the world, sense that energy we sent out, and interpret it as the world. This is called projection. The imagined reality we project onto our world is determined by our image of the world which was created from our unique childhood experiences. Essentially, we create our reality and perceive that reality simultaneously utilizing the same organ of perception.
Barbara Brennan clairvoyantly observed six types of blocks:
The "Blah" Block [oral] results from depressing one's feelings and energy. There is hopelessness, powerlessness and despair. The stagnation of energy causes edema in that area.
The "Compaction" Block [masochist] suppress rage. The rage is held in to avoid humiliation. It causes increased fat or muscle in the area. An example of the Compaction Block is when anger is not expressed over a long period of time. Instead of the energy moving up the spine and out the throat, it gets blocked at the throat and accumulates like a traffic jam. The congestion results in the swelling below the back of the neck that is often called a "Dowager's Hump", which otherwise results from thoracic compression fractures.
