What is a chakra? A chakra is an intangible energy field that is aligned vertically in specific areas of the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word for “wheel” or “wheels of light”. Which is no surprise as a chakra is envisioned as a “wheel” or “swirl of energy”.

Before I go on about the chakras, you have to know a little about the aura and what it is. Known in Hindu tradition as the “Prana” and in Chinese culture known as “chi”, an aura is a measurable electromagnetic energy field that interacts with your physical body. Often described as, a “glow around a person”. The colors of your aura can identify your personal strengths, whether you’re healthy/not healthy, your emotional state plus more. There are places where one can go and have their aura photographed. It would be a fun outing either alone or with loved ones. The reason you needed to know about the aura is because this energy field interacts with the physical body by flowing through specific spirals of energy known as… You got it! The chakras!

There are many different chakras but there are seven main ones that interact with the body’s peripheral nervous system. They remove the bad energy from the body while replacing it with good energy. When a chakra is unbalanced, uncared for, blocked or clogged (all different terms used) one feels depressed, anxious or it can cause physical symptoms. It is vitally important that one takes care and balances their chakras in a proper way. Indian teachings indicate that all of our physical diseases are a result of separation from the infinite Universe.

Okay, now that you’re a little more familiarized with chakras…Welcome to this new series of mine! It’s been a long time coming! And I am doing it with you in mind and heart. My hope is that you will leave here feeling a little more enlightened, and able to have basic knowledge of the seven chakras, what they are and how they affect you. I’ll break it down to one chakra at a time, and include suggestions on how you can start working with them on your own. As well as learning to identify an imbalance, suggestions on tools you can use and more!

Side note: Each post will always be up for editing. Meaning, as time passes and I learn more and more I might have to tweak a few things here and there. I’ll try to be mindful and add an edit date on the post after each edit.
