Chakra Energy Centers
At the point where several meridian pathways cross, a hotspot or hub of accumulated energy is formed, and in the Hindu System, it is referred to as a Chakra. The Chakra System is made up of many chakras. However, there are seven major ones. Like meridians, they control the energy flow to a designated part of the body.
The seven main chakras are vertically positioned in a straight line up and down the spine from the crown of the head to the tailbone. Each has its own number, name, specific location, and health focus. They are circular shaped and spin like wheels to direct the flow of the life force energy. Each one of the energy centers is a gateway that receives, stores and gives energy.
The seven main energy centers include:
Root Chakra = red
Sacral Chakra = orange
Solar Plexus Chakra = yellow
Heart Chakra = green
Throat Chakra = blue
Third Eye Chakra = purple
Crown Chakra = violet
Chakras and the Life Force Energy
The chakras and meridians share the responsibility of exchanging and distributing the life force energy throughout the body. All of the positive and negative energy we generate, store, and are exposed to travels through the chakras and along the meridians. Everything around us in the environment, including the energy from interacting with others, our thoughts, and our emotions, collectively plays a role in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The chakra system acts as a guide for our conscious and subconscious. They are the spiritual pilot that helps us to maneuver through life. The system naturally works with the divine and allows us to become open to receive guidance and blessings. When the chakra centers are open, we experience good health, can exist as our authentic selves, and live with excitement -feeling blessed.
The chakra system also has a built-in energetic shield to protect us from the visible and invisible world. So, when we get overwhelmed with negative vibrations for a length of time from everyday challenges, our chakras will try to protect our positive energy and slow down or block the flow of energy until the energetic threat passes. If a chakra stays obstructed for an extended period, the flow of free and positive nourishing energy can be restricted from being received. And when this happens, we become closed off and create stagnant energy within.
Whatever energy passes through, whether positive or negative, it will appear outward through our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. If negative, it may show up as illness and disease. The good news is that your chakras are constantly shifting in and out of balance. Therefore, you can re-balance them when symptoms appear. Let’s look at how you can determine if your chakras are balanced or need harmonizing.
