An introduction to the 7 main Chakra points and 3 important minor Chakra points. You can also find out about tools to help balance and clear your chakras..

 

What Are Your Chakras?

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or spinning disc of energy. Our physical body rejuvenates and energises itself not just with food and breath but also by receiving universal energy or prana from the air around us. It does this by exchanging energy at the chakras or energy centres of the body. Fresh energy is drawn into the body through the auric field via the chakra points. It is this flow of energy through the chakras from the subtle bodies that provides the life force energy for the organs and glands in the physical body.

Chakras can become blocked by long held negative states - rigid thought patterns, negative emotions, toxins etc., which if not released and transmuted can lead to physical imbalances.

We have seven main chakras, and many minor chakra points throughout the human energy system. When all seven main chakras are open they vibrate at high frequencies, which when seen with the inner vision looks like a rainbow of colour. The Hopi Indians have described people in this state as being "Rainbow Warriors."

Chakra Balancing

The Feet Chakras


Associated Elements:- Earth
Associated Colour:-

 

These minor chakra points are on the sole of each foot, and work in conjunction with the base chakra and other minor chakras in the legs. When open and balanced the Feet Chakras ensure that we are fully connected to the Earth Plane.


Feet Chakra Issues

•Difficulty connecting to the earth plane.

 

The Root/ Base Chakra


Associated Elements:- Earth
Associated Colour:- Red

 

Located at the base of the spine the Root or Base chakra, together with the earth star chakra and the feet chakras, anchor us into the material plane. It is connected to the Etheric Body in our subtle energy system and resonates with the element earth and the colour red. The lessons relating to this chakra concern physical survival, grounding and connection with the Earth and our body – our material existence in the physical plane.


Difficulty with fears, particularly of survival, security, abundance or grounding issues all point to imbalances in this chakra as do problems in the lower physical body. Experiencing difficulty in fully manifesting your creative ideas or achieving your goals also indicates some work in the base chakra would be helpful.

 


Base Chakra Issues

•Difficulties with ‘grounding’ and being in the ‘now’.

•Fears and insecurities related to safety and survival.

•Disorientation

•Disorganization

•Indecision

•Lack of physical energy.

•Difficulty dealing with stress.

 

The Sacral Chakra


Associated Elements:- Water
Associated Colour:- Orange

 

Located in the lower abdomen this chakra relates to our emotions and sexuality – how we connect with others. It is connected to the Emotional Body in our subtle energy system and resonates with the element of water and the colour orange.


Difficulty with creativity, sexuality, anger, frustration and low self-image all relate to this chakra as do difficulties accepting change. This is the storehouse for our unresolved emotional baggage.

 

Sacral Chakra Issues

•Anger. Frustration. Impatience.

•Blocked creativity - emotionally & physically.

•Difficulty expressing sexuality - sexual guilt.

•Out of balance emotions.

•Emotional extremes – violence.

•Unable to express or get in touch with emotional needs.

•Feminine issues. Difficulties in relationships.

 

The Solar Plexus Chakra


Associated Elements:- Fire
Associated Colour:- Yellow

 

Located in the stomach area this chakra relates to self-definition, power issues and emotional expression. It is connected to the Mental Body in our subtle energy system and resonates with the element fire and the colour yellow. Difficulties defining our boundaries with others, over sensitivity, unbalanced emotions and lack of will power, and lack of self worth all relate to this chakra as does an overly active mind.



 

Solar Plexus Chakra Issues

•Oversensitive - too open to others thoughts & feelings.

•Open to negative psychic impressions.

•A sense of vulnerability.

•Feelings of unease in stomach area.

•Issues of self worth.

yourself to be controlled or manipulated by others.

The Heart Chakra


Associated Elements:- Air
Associated Colour:- Green

 

The heart chakra is the middle chakra out of an integrated system of seven main chakras. It is connected to the higher mental body in our subtle energy system and resonates with the colour green and the element air. Rather like the fulcrum point on a seesaw it is the central point of balance from which we can integrate the physical and spiritual aspects of ourselves, opening the gateway to Unity Consciousness.  The ancient symbol for this interconnection of body and soul is the six pointed star, with its two interlocking triangles, reminding us of our original blueprint for wholeness.

The consciousness based at the heart chakra is that of unconditional love. All of us at some point in our lives, however briefly,  have experienced the wonderful feelings of joy and love that belong to an open heart chakra, only to loose them again in the illusion of 3D life on earth.

Most of humanity carry deep emotional wounds in the heart chakra from these 3D experiences that make us reluctant to open our hearts and allow the pain to be transformed into love. The result of this is the ‘needy’ version of love, based in the Sacral & Solar Plexus Chakras that is so much a part of our current reality.


However, when the energy in the Heart Chakra is flowing freely we are able to experience Love, Compassion and Brotherhood. When there is a blockage in this chakra we might experience being overly critical, possessive, jealous,  fear of letting go & being hurt, indecision or feeling unloved. 

 

Heart Chakra Issues

•Loneliness and isolation from others through fear of being hurt.

•Fear of closeness

•Lack of trust in self or Universe.

•Judgmental, critical, resentful

•Feelings of superiority.

•Unable to reach out to others in unconditional Love.

 

The Higher Heart Chakra

The Higher Heart Chakra is situated in the area of the thymus gland. When open and balanced we feel compassion and forgiveness for all – including ourselves.

 



Higher Heart Chakra Issues

•A need to develop compassion.

•Feelings of not being able to Love self or others.

•Lack of forgiveness for self and others.

 

The Throat Chakra
