There are two kinds of energy in the body: warm fire energy and cold water energy. When the body is in balance and optimum health is achieved, the water energy is located in the head and the fire energy is maintained in the abdomen. This state is called "Su-Seung-Hwa-Kang." "Su" means "water," "Seung" means "go up," "Hwa" means "fire," and "Kang" means "come down." "Su-Seung-Hwa-Kang" expresses the universal principle that water energy must go up and fire energy must come down.

"Su-Seung-Hwa-Kang" is universal principle for the life activity in both nature and the human body. In the human body, the water energy is created in the kidneys and the fire energy is produced in the heart. When the water energy moves up through the Doc-Mak (Governor Meridian Channel) located in the middle of the back, the brain feels fresh and cool. The fire energy passing through the Im-Mak (Conception Meridian Channel) located in the middle of the chest down into the abdomen keeps the intestines warm.
According to brain educator Ilchi Lee now you understand the meaning behind the terms that we use to denote the individual Chakras. It is this process of spiritual birth that differentiates us from other animals. It is why human beings are spiritual beings. Therefore, as a human being, you have an incredible opportunity to express your spiritual essence in a profound way. Once your spiritual body is born, you are ready to merge with Cosmic Energy and Cosmic Mind, the essence of the Creator. You are a child of the Creator, holding the seed of the Creator Within. You are the sons and daughters of God.
The Chakra system serves as the reservoir of the spiritual potential within us. If our physical body is our temple, then our energy body, as represented by the Chakra system, is our altar upon which we will stand and rise to our rightful place as a spiritual being, in tune with the great truth and cycle of the cosmos. To achieve this is our ultimate goal in life. Healing Chakra is our way of beginning this journey of the soul.
