Introduction to Chakras

It is believed there are 7 main energy centers in the body, known as chakras. Each chakra is located throughout the body so that it correlates to specific body ailment and physical dysfunctions.

The chakras are constantly rotating and vibrating. The activities influence our body shape, glandular processes, chronic physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior. When one (or more) of the chakras is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, or it is wide open, it will result in imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.

The seven chakras are the Root; Sacral; Solar Plexus; Heart; Throat; Third Eye; and Crown.

Each energy center also houses mental and emotional strengths. When there is a physical issue, it creates weaknesses in emotional behavior. When the stale energy is released from the body, it can undo any tightness, stiffness, or malfunction of that area. The clearing of the energy can also balance the emotional state of mind.

Blockages in any of the chakras affects the flow of the currents. Childhood traumas, cultural conditioning, limited belief system, bad habits, physical and emotional injuries, or even just lack of attention all contribute to chakra blockage. In order to be whole, a human being needs a balance between the downward flow and the upward flow of energy. It is important to recognize the blocks, find and understand their source and meaning, and develop tools to heal them.
