Chakras, by definition, are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all of its processes. The seven chakras are positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, color, and governs specific functions.
Read below to find out more about each of the seven chakras and how they benefit you.
The Root Chakra
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine. It is associated with the color red and the element of earth. The root chakra governs our survival instincts and is responsible for our feelings of safety and security. When this chakra is in balance, we feel grounded and stable. When it is out of balance, we may feel fearful or anxious.
The Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra is located just below the navel. It is associated with the color orange and the element of water. The sacral chakra governs our creativity and sexuality. When this chakra is in balance, we feel creative and sexually fulfilled. When it is out of balance, we may feel blocked creatively or experience sexual dysfunction.
The Solar Plexus Chakra
The solar plexus chakra is located between the navel and the breastbone. It is associated with the color yellow and the element of fire. The solar plexus chakra governs our personal power and self-esteem. When this chakra is in balance, we feel confident and in control of our lives. When it is out of balance, we may feel powerless or unworthy.
The Heart Chakra
The heart chakra is located in the center of the chest. It is associated with the colors green or pink and the element of air. The heart chakras govern our ability to love and be loved. When this chakra is in balance, we feel compassionate and loving towards others. When it is out of balance, we may feel jealous or resentful.
The Throat Chakra
The throat chakra is located in the throat area. It is associated with the color blue and the element of ether (sound). The throat chakras govern our ability to communicate effectively both verbally and non-verbally. When this chakra is in balance, we can express ourselves freely without fear or judgement. When it is out of balance, we may have difficulty speaking our truth or be afraid to voice our opinions publicly.
The Third Eye Chakra
The third eye chakra is located between the eyebrows in what’s known as the “brow center” or “Ajna” spot. The third eye governs our intuition and psychic abilities. When this chakra is in balance, we have a strong connection to our intuition and “gut feelings”. We also tend to have very vivid dreams when this energy center balanced. Alternatively, when it’s unbalanced, we can experience feelings such as anxiety around making decisions because we’re not trusting ourselves enough. We might also get lost in daydreams often as a form of escapism from reality.
The Crown Charka
Last but not least there’s our crown charka which resides at well…the very top of our heads! This one tends to be more ethereal since it has a direct connection with Source energy/God/the Universe etc. It also holds a very high vibration so it can be harder for some people to connect with if their other energy centers aren’t balanced first. The crown charka colors are generally considered white or violet, but some people see gold here too. Its element once again goes back to ether which deals with pure consciousness/spirituality etc.
When this final energy center is unblocked, we're able to fully connect with ourselves on a soul level as well as having a stronger connection to Spirit. We also tend to develop psychic abilities more when all 7 main energy vortexes are working together optimally. We become what some might consider “woke” or “enlightened individuals” when all 7 work together as they should.
Now that you know where each main energy vortex resides within your physical being as well as what colors & elements, they correspond too…you can begin working on balancing & clearing them whenever necessary! Just remember that everything starts from within so if you want true change & healing to occur first look inside yourself for answers rather than outside sources Always trust your gut & intuition too because those will never steer you wrong.
