The Skeletal System

The skeletal system is manifested by the I AM Presence within. It is the support system of the body.   The skull protects and support the brain. The vertebral column supports the trunk of the body and protects the spinal chord. The ribs protect the heart and lungs. The skeleton is lightweight weighing around 20 pounds and is composed of 206 bones. The bones are connected together by ligaments at the joints. Cartilage protects the bones from shock at the joints as well as make the movement of the joints easier. Tendons connect the bones to the muscles.

Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are manufactured by the skeletal system in the red bone marrow. These cells are then taken up by the capillary network and sent throughout the blood stream.

The Skull

The skull consists of 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones. The brain is encased by the cranial bones.

The Spine

The spine carries in it the patterns of our anatomical nature. The spine is composed of 5 main areas. The cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral and the coccyx.

The Cervical

The cervical part of the spine consists of 7 vertebrae. Each vertebrae relates to different parts of the body. For more information on the relationships of the vertebrae to thought patterns etc. the book "Heal Your Body" by Louise L. Hay is highly recommended reading. The cervical vertebrae from the top down are:
  • 1C- Seventh chakra- pineal gland (Blood supply to the head, scalp, bones of the face, brain, pituitary gland, inner ear, middle ear and sympathetic nervous system) 
  • 2C- Sixth chakra- pituitary gland (forehead, mastoid bones, tongue, auditory nerves, optic nerves, eyes and sinuses) 
  • 3C- Fifth chakra- thyroid and parathyroid glands (teeth, face bones, cheeks, outer ear and trifacial nerve) 
  • 4C- Fourth chakra- thymus (eustachian tube, lips, mouth and nose) 
  • 5C-  Third chakra- adrenal glands (glands of the neck, pharynx and vocal cords)
  • 6C- Second chakra- pancreas (tonsils, neck muscles and shoulders) 
  • 7C- First chakra- gonads- (thyroid gland bursae in the shoulders and elbows) 

The Thoracic

The thoracic part of the spine is composed of 12 vertebrae. From the top down they are:
  • 1T-  Will- skeletal system- (esophagus, trachea, arms from the elbows down)
  • 2T-  Spirit- muscular system- (heart and coronary arteries)
  • 3T-  Soul- respiratory system- (pleura, bronchial tubes, lungs, breast and chest)
  • 4T-  Mind- digestive system- (common duct and gall bladder)
  • 5T- Astral Body- Body as a whole- circulatory system (blood, liver and solar plexus)
  • 6T- Seventh chakra- pineal gland (stomach)
  • 7T- Sixth chakra- pituitary gland (duodenum and Pancreas
  • 8T- Fifth chakra- thyroid and parathyroid glands (spleen)
  • 9T- Fourth chakra- thymus gland (Adrenal and supra-renal glands
  • 10T- Third chakra- adrenal glands (kidneys)
  • 11T- Second chakra- pancreas (ureters and Kidneys)
  • 12T- First chakra- gonads (lymph circulation and small intestines

The Lumbar

  • 1L- Will- skeletal system (inguinal rings and large intestine
  • 2L- Spirit- muscular system (abdomen, appendix and  upper leg)
  • 3L- Soul- respiratory system (knees, bladder, uterus, sex organs)
  • 4L- Mind- digestive system (muscles of the lower back, sciatic nerve and prostrate gland
  • 5L- Body- circulatory system (lower legs, ankles and feet)

The Sacrum

  • Mind- digestive system (hip bones and buttocks)

The Coccyx

  • Body- circulatory system (rectum and anus)

The Sense of Hearing

Sound waves are funneled through the outer ear to the ear drum. The eardrum vibrates causing the three small bones ( hammer, anvil and stirrup) of the middle ear to vibrate. They vibrate against the oval window. The vibrations of the oval window cause motion of the inner ear fluid. Movement of the inner ear fluid stimulates hearing receptors which change mechanical sound waves to nerve impulses. These impulses are sent to the brain where they are interpreted as hearing.
