What are Chakras?

The word “chakra” has Hindu (Sanskrit) roots and means “wheel or disk”.  All living creatures have chakras. These energy vortexes are the channels through which energy flows. Chakras are “entry gates” of the aura. Within the physical body resides a spiritual body that contains the chakras.

 

Where are your Chakras?

There are seven main chakras located along the central line of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. There are twenty one-minor charkas throughout the body.  Chakras are energy centers that receive, assimilate, and express life force energy. They are responsible for the person’s physical, mental, and spiritual functions. Every chakra has corresponding organs in our physical system. 

 

How Do Chakras Affect Us? 

The chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating. The activities in the chakras influence our body shape, glandular processes, chronic physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior. When one or more of the chakras are blocked, the energy does not flow harmoniously, or if they are wide open, it will result in imbalance. 

 

 

What are the benefits of balanced chakras?

First of all you just feel good. You feel balanced, relaxed, whole and healthy. You feel everything in your life is going well for you. All or most of your projects are flowing the way you like.

 

Everyone who is associated with you, either professional or personal are attracted to your energy and wants to be with you. In some cases, you are the life of the party and everyone seeks your company. The reason you have become a “people magnet” is because you are radiating such positive energy, people start to look for you. 

 

How do you know if your chakras are out of balanced?

 

If you are out of balance, you will know it. Your clue will be that you will feel awful or that something is not right. Most people do not know why they feel this way. It can start with an empty feeling, if it is not addressed, after a long period of time, in some cases, depression or a host of other health issues develop.
