Balancing Chakras

Chakra is a Sanskrit word that translates to “wheel” or “disc.” Although not everyone is familiar with the chakra system, Chakras have been talked about since 1500 BC, when they were first mentioned in sacred texts called Vedas from India. They are spinning wheels of energy that correspond to specific nerves, organs, and areas of our energy body. They unite physical energy and consciousness. When all your chakras are balanced, opened, and aligned, you are vibrant, healthy, happy, and filled with Universal or Source energy. If unbalanced, they can affect our physical and emotional well-being negatively.

While many say there are 114 different chakras, we will be focusing on the primary seven that are talked about the most. These seven align with the spine, starting at the base of the spine near the tailbone and going all the way to the top of the head. Check out the chart below where I have outlined each Chakra, their associated affirmations, colors, locations, healing stones, representations, imbalance symptoms, and how to rebalance and clear them if they become blocked, overactive, or underactive.

When you take the time to balance your Chakras, the life force energy, prana, will flow through your body and fill your life with love, happiness, and comfort. Which Chakras do you feel are the most blocked? Which do you think are open to their fullest and balanced?
