What is a chakra?

In sanskrit, chakra means “wheel”.  Other interpretations label them as “spinning wheels of light”.  Our bodies are said to have 7 major chakras that are also referred to as energy centers, energy portals, and focal points that absorb, interpret, and send out energy. The usual order starts from the bottom/base of your seat and goes to the top of the head.

The seventh is the crown chakra.

The sixth chakra is the third eye. 

The fifth chakra is the throat chakra.

The fourth is the heart chakra.

The third chakra is the solar plexus.

The second is the sacral chakra. 

The first chakra is the root chakra.  

Some people use the term “blocked” to describe a chakra when there is an issue with its flow.  I wholeheartedly believe that a chakra can never “turn off” or become completely “blocked”.  A chakra can, however, be congested, dense, or clouded with stagnant energy.  Other deviations and distortions can vary from being enlarged or overactive, diminished or underactive, veering left or right, projecting out, and can flicker or fluctuate in amplitude.

 Chakras can deviate due to physical or emotional trauma, issues with the energy of nearby organs, and more.  That being said, at the basis of these deviations is merely information. There is always an emotional component to any disease or ailment and so, whether through journaling or asking aloud, I invite you to consider the following questions to see which chakra is calling you to improve a specific area of your life.
