The Chakra Series
For the next few days, I will be sharing a series of articles on chakras. What they are, what they do, what happens when they are out of whack and how to get them balanced AF!
Basically, there are seven main chakra points in our physical body. I will only concentrate on these chakras during this series, whilst acknowledging that there are many within and outside of our physical body.
What’s a Chakra fam?
Chakras are energy centres within the physical body that flow through our body and, when balanced, can bring peace, harmony and balance to our lives. On a physical level, each chakra is associated with a particular part of the body and gland. When the chakras are balanced and energy is flowing freely, a person has a sense of physical well-being. This flows on to the mental level. When the physical body is in a state of well-being, there is a flow on effect on a person’s mental health. On a spiritual level, balanced chakras increase our energetic vibration allowing us to experience more of our true divine nature and be more connected to the universal energy that encompasses us all.
And Then…?
For the purposes of this series, there are seven main chakras in the physical body. They are all associated with the colours of the rainbow.
- The Base or Root Chakra, our physical centre, is associated with the colour red.
- The Sacral Chakra or Navel Chakra, our creative and sexual centre, vibrates to the colour orange.
- The Solar Plexus Chakra, our power centre, is associated with the colour yellow.
- The Heart Chakra, our feeling and love centre, is associated more commonly with the colour green and less so with the colour pink.
- The Throat Chakra, responsible for communication and expression, is associated with the colour blue.
- The Third Eye Chakra, responsible for our intuition and extrasensory abilities, vibrates to the colour indigo.
- The Crown Chakra is the highest chakra and is associated with wisdom and enlightenment. It is associated with the colour white or purple.
How do I know if my chakras are poppin’ … or nah?
Generally, if something traumatic, unexpected, disappointing or unpleasant happens to us (e.g. emotional trauma, upheaval, loss, heart break) and we have not been able to heal that over time, then eventually one or more of our chakras will become imbalanced or blocked.
An imbalance with each chakra will manifest differently – on a physical, emotional and spiritual level – based on the specific chakra.
So how do I get them poppin’ again?
A combination of specific exercises, foods, crystals, essential oils and affirmations can assist with bringing balance to each chakra. These will be discussed in each of the different articles.
Once you have brought balance back to a specific chakra it does not mean that you are set for life…ongoing maintenance is required.
So let’s begin!
