You are an energetic being comprised of multiple layers and dimensions of vibration and energy!

One of your energy systems are the seven major chakras, each is located in a specific area within the body, each has a specific name and a specific set of functions. They are each related to one of your seven endocrine glands and regulate the energy flow throughout your body. 

Many cultures, especially eastern cultures, believe that the key to health, happiness and spiritual connectedness lies in the balancing, clearing and aligning of the chakras.

Let’s dig a little deeper into this energy system.  

What are Chakras?

Chakra is a Sanskrit word and it means “wheel”. Our chakras spin, like a wheel, like an energy vortex and each spins at a different rate and frequency. Each chakra is associated with certain parts of your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual being. Chakras that become out of balance, dirty or blocked can cause dis-ease in the associated parts of the body.

There are 7 main chakras in the body and often they are referred to by numbers starting at the root chakra as number 1 up to the crown as number 7.

• #1 or the Root Chakra – located at the base of your spine.
• #2 or Sacral Chakra – about two inches below your naval.
• #3 or Solar Plexus Chakra – located below your sternum and about two inches above your belly button.
• #4 or Heart Chakra – located in the center of your chest or about two inches above the nipple area.
• #5 or Throat Chakra – located at the base of your throat.
• #6 or 3rd Eye Chakra – located between and slightly above your brows on your forehead.
• #7 or Crown Chakra – located at the top or crown of your head.

Chakras allow for the flow of energy to go in and out of your system. When you are receiving and giving equal amounts of energy through your energy centers it is often referred to as a balanced chakra. You will feel energized, connected and full of life!

But when one or more of your chakras are out of balance, you may feel tired, off, and may experience physical symptoms associated with that area.  Whatever the lowest chakra that is off all chakras above that will also be off or out of balance.

Everything you experience in life affects your chakras or energy. From the people around you, to the words you speak, the things you hear, see, smell or taste. Your ability to manifest is affected. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health you experience is all related to the health or flow of your chakras. As you will see below, each chakra represents different aspects of your body, mind and spirit.

When you are facing challenges, overwhelm or lack in different parts of your life or in your physical body look to your chakras and determine which are out of balance.
