The Chakras are seven energy points in your body acting as holding centers of our spiritual powers. These energy bundles are used in many different cultures and practices for healing and self-growth.
Your Chakras can be blocked, open or overactive, and one of the ways to live your life as a spiritually healthy person is to unblock these energy points.
The Chakras are located down the body from the top of the head to the bottom of the body.
Crown Chakra
The first Chakra, or Crown Chakra, is located above the head. Some spiritualists consider this the last, and others consider it the first Chakra. I will call it the first as it is at the top of the body.
The Crown Chakra represents our connection to the universe and the divine, and the color purple represents it.
A balanced crown chakra will present a clear mind, and your connection with the divine will be strong. You may have great difficulty learning and growing in your spiritual path if your Chakra is unbalanced.
Throat Chakra
The next Chakra is called the Throat Chakra and is located in, you guessed it, your throat! This is the Chakra of communication. If this Chakra is open, you will be able to speak up for yourself and communicate effectively with others. If this Chakra is blocked, you may notice people often misunderstand you, or you may be too shy to verbalize your wants and needs. This Chakra is represented by the color blue.
Heart Chakra
Next, we have the Heart Chakra, located in the chest, and the color green represents this one! We are so used to hearts being represented by pink and red, however not according to the chakras. I love this because green represents earth and the planet, so it makes sense that the heart chakra is also green, reaffirming our love and connection to our Spiritual Planet. If your heart chakra is open, you are willing to give and receive love. However, you may find compassion and empathy for others difficult if it is blocked.
Solar Plexus Chakra
The next Chakra is The Solar Plexus. This is the Chakra of confidence! Having an open Solar Plexus can show that you are confident in what you do and your life path! However, if blocked, you may find yourself unsure and fearful. This one is located in the gut and is represented by the color yellow!
Sacral Chakra
The Sacral Chakra is next and is located below the navel. This is the Chakra for emotions, sensuality, and creativity! Having this chakra open brings feelings about others and the world around you, which is very important for happiness and general well-being. Blocked, you may feel shielded from receiving pleasure and emotions in your personal life. The color orange represents this Chakra.
Root Chakra
Last but not least is the Root Chakra. The color red represents this Chakra. This is the Chakra of stability and the home. If this Chakra is blocked, you may feel financially unstable and unsafe in the world. However, if this Chakra is open, you are strong and fearless. Your basic needs like food, safety, and shelter will be met, and your connections to family and friends will be strong.
Chakras correspond with the emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual states of consciousness in each of us. Opening them can be an intense experience for many, and it can take years to heal all Chakras.
