What are Chakras?
You have probably heard many healers or other spiritual teachers talk about chakras! But what are they? Chakras are energy centers in your body. On a basic level there are 7, but in more in depth teachings there are more. The 7 basic energy centers are (starting from the bottom and going up the body) the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. I will do a basic overview of each chakra center and where it is located.
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is represented with the color red. The sacral chakra is located at few inches below your belly button and is represented with the color orange. The solar plexus chakra is located at few inches above the belly button and is represented by the color yellow. The heart chakra is located in the center of your chest and is represented by the color green. The throat chakra is located in the throat and is represented by the color blue. The third eye chakra is located in the center of your brain (think the spot between your eyes- hence 3rd eye) and is represented by the color indigo. The last chakra is the crown chakra and it is located on the crown of your head and it is represented by the color violet.
Each chakra represents a layer of your auric field (aura) and different areas of your life. When one of your chakras gets blocked it can stop your flow of energy and create an imbalance for all of the chakras. Chakras can be blocked from neglecting that area of your life or any number of different experiences that may happen in your life. When you have a chakra blocked for a period of time it can create a weakness in your auric field and that allows illness and disease into your body.
I will be writing separate blog posts about the different chakras and what they fully represent in your body, starting with the root chakra! That being said keeping your chakras in balance is key to having a healthy energy flow throughout the body. I will give tips in each individual blog post on how to balance the energy of that chakra.
How does your energy feel? Do you feel an imbalance in your chakra system?
