I. THE SEVEN SINS

Some teach that there are seven major sins. These are taken from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, especially the Book of Proverbs in the Old Testament and Galatians in the New Testament.

This article correlates these with the 7 main energy centers found on the physical body and explains why they are important for mankind today.

Pride = Seventh Energy Center

Pride means selfishness, arrogance, being full of oneself, and thinking one knows something when one does not. It is the feeling that there is nothing above or beyond you.

This sin corresponds to the seventh energy center, located in the head, starting in the area of the pineal gland and extending upwards and slightly backward in most people in the shape of a narrow funnel. When this energy center is closed or only slightly open (meaning it is small), one suffers from pride.

Envy = Sixth energy center

The sixth energy center is located on the forehead, just above the eyebrows. It is a mental center. Envy is a wrong use of the mental powers in which one wants what another has.

Wrath or Anger = Fifth energy center

The fifth energy center is located in the area of the throat and has to do with expression. Anger is a type of expression that is harmful, in all cases. It causes physical and mental illness, damages relationships and can do other harm, as well.

Avarice or Greed = Fourth energy center

The fourth energy center is located in the lower part of the chest at the level of the nipples. It is about social matters and friendship. It is also about the give and take required for all social relationships.

Avarice or greed is an imbalance in which one takes more than one gives.

Gluttony = Third energy center

The third energy center is located at the solar plexus between the chest and the navel. It is near the stomach. Gluttony is specifically a desire to overeat.

Lust = Second energy center

The second energy center is located between the navel and the pubic bone. It has to do with emotions, intimate relationships and sex. Lust is an excessive desire for sexual pleasure.

Laziness or sloth = First energy center

The first energy center is located between the legs and points downward. It has to do with grounding, centering and survival. Laziness is a lack of motivation to survive.

II. THE SEVEN VIRTUES AND THE ENERGY CENTERS

The seven virtues also correlate with the 7 system as follows:

Faith = Seventh energy center

Hope = Sixth energy center

Charity (or generosity) = Fifth energy center

Courage = fourth energy center

Temperance (or moderation) = Third energy center

Justice (proper behavior toward everyone) = Second energy center

Prudence = first energy center

III. WHY THESE ARE IMPORTANT

- Cultivating the virtues and avoiding the sins greatly speeds up development.

- The sins impair basic health in many cases. For example, overeating or gluttony usually leads to deranged digestion, impaired absorption of nutrients and often this unbalance the body chemistry.

While this one is obvious, some of the others are no less important. Anger, for example, throws a person into a fight-or-flight reaction, stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. This directly impairs elimination, digestion and the immune response.

The same goes for pride, envy and the others. Too much food, too much sex, too much running around, which can be due to a lustful attitude, all deplete the body.

In various ways, all these upset the body and therefore contribute to a fight-of-flight tendency that impairs healing significantly.

- The sins upset a person psychologically. They do this by the same mechanisms that are explained above. They cause a lack of peace that unbalances the nervous system. This eventually deplete the glands and organs of nutrients and other vital substances needed for health and healing.
