AN OVERVIEW OF THE 7 CHAKRAS
The 7 Chakras
This is the first article of eight in our article series about the seven chakra centers.
It offers an
overview of the 7 energy centers.
There are seven primary energy centers in your energetic body. Each energy center, called a chakra,
is representative of a certain set of characteristics.
1) Root Chakra: Your Root chakra is an energy center located at your tailbone. The root chakra represents your
connection to the Earth, your tribe or family, and survival issues.
2) Sacral Chakra: The Sacral chakra is between your hips, a couple inches below your navel. The Sacral chakra
represents creativity, manifestation, sexuality, and emotional connection to others.
3) Solar Plexus Chakra: The Solar chakra is located in the center of your torso, about six inches below your heart. The
Solar chakra represents your courage, vitality, confidence, and personal power.
4) Heart Chakra:
Your Heart chakra is located in the center of your chest. The heart chakra represents unconditional
love, nurturing, and compassion.
5) Throat Chakra:
Next is the Throat chakra. The throat chakra represents communication, expression of feelings, your
ability to effectively convey the meaning of your words.
6) Third Eye Chakra:
The Third eye is located low on the forehead, a little above your eyebrows. The Third eye represents
insight, intuition, wisdom, intelligence, and psychic development.
7) Crown Chakra:
The last primary energy center, the Crown chakra, is located a couple inches above the top of
your head. The Crown chakra represents spirituality and connectedness to all things.
If a chakra is out of balance, your health in that area will be out balance. For instance,
if your heart chakra is overactive, you will try to fall in love without healthy boundaries.
If your heart chakra is underactive, you will be unable to love yourself or feel love for others.
I think of it as an energetic way of looking at overall health and well being. It's incredibly
consistent, in my opinion. An understanding of the chakra system makes it much easier to deduce where your imbalances may be.
If you have heart disease, you probably have an imbalance in your heart chakra. If you have
poor eyesight, it's likely an imbalance in your third eye. As a nutritionist and an energy
worker, I have oftentimes been able to help people heal themselves through awareness of the 7 chakra system.
As with all bodily systems; cardiovascular system, immune system, etc., all of these 7
chakras interact with one another, like wheels. The balance of one affects the balance of
the others. They're all connected, a part of the whole.
