I have had many questions regarding chakras lately! From the simple, what is it to what can they do for me?

What exactly is a chakra? – it is a area of the body that has energy. Dating back to the 1500’s BC, in India. Pasted down thru the generations. You have probably heard the term if you have participated in yoga classes.

The 7 Chakras: There are 7 main chakras, from the top of the head to the root of the spine, nestled right through our center. “Chakra” is the Sanskrit word for “wheel,” and refers to vortexes of energy that reside in and correspond to areas that have vital organs, such as the heart, brain, and reproductive organs. 

It is said that when your chakras are healthy and vital, they are “open,” but when energy stagnates, one or more chakras can become blocked, or closed, leading to various physical and emotional symptoms.

Each Chakra has its own color which corresponds to energy and purpose. it’s common for one or more chakras to become “blocked,” which means that we can’t totally live in alignment with our mind, body, and soul. Your health is multidimensional. Do you think it’s a coincidence that there are also 7 chakras that we must keep open and flowing with energy? Nope! In order to maintain our physical, emotional, and spiritual health, we must keep our 7 chakras balanced.

  1. Crown Chakra-Located at the top of the head. Color violet (associated with wisdom, consciousness, transcendence, and meditation.)
  2. Third Eye Chakra-Located in the middle of the forehead. Color Indigo (source of intuition, vision, imagination, and clairvoyance.)
  3. Throat Chakra-located in the throat, Color blue (associated with expression and communication)
  4. Heart Chakra-located at the bodys’ heart center. Color green (associated with affinity, unity, healing, balance, relationships, and compassion.)
  5. Solar Plexas Chakra-located at the upper abdomen. Color yellow (source of power and confidence)
  6. Sacral Chakra- Located at the lower abdomen. Color orange (associated with creativity, emotions, and sensuality)
  7. Root Chakra – located at the base of your spine. Color red (associated with birth, survival, safety, and stability.)
