WHAT IS CHAKRA

The chakras are the energy centers to receive and give energy from surrounding.Each chakra is connected with particular organ and glands. The seven principal chakras can be seen psychically as colorful, multi-petaled wheels or lotuses.They are situated along the spinal cord from the base to the cranial chamber.

There are 7 major chakra, here we will discuss one by one.

THE SEVEN CHAKRA

First Chakra

The first chakra is the root chakra, called Muladhara in Sanskrit. The root chakra is believed to be located at the base of the spine at the tailbone in back, and the pubic bone in front which primarily consist of Perineum area.  The root chakra is closely related to one’s contact with the Mother Earth, improving our ability to be grounded into the earth plane. Muladhara is also the center of manifestation. When you are trying to achieve something in the material world, business or possessions, the energy to succeed is supposed to come from the first chakra. If this base chakra is blocked, an individual may feel fearful, anxious, insecure and frustrated.
A man’s sexual organs are located primarily in his first chakra, so male sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as physical. A women’s sexual organs are primarily in her second chakra, so female sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as emotional. Both chakras are associated with sexual energy.

When Root Is Blocked

When the root chakra is blocked we often become spacey, frustrated with our work, and feel physical pain in our feet, knees, legs, hips and lower back.

Sexual drive is often extremely low or non existent as well and lack of self confidence is also commonly associated to a blocked or unhealthy root chakra.

If you are feeling pain the lower extremities of your body this is usually a sign of root chakra blockage as it signifies you are not accessing the earths energy.

It can also manifest in health issues surrounding; anemia, cancer, heart disease, gynecological problems and drug addictions

Concentrating on any one thing or performing mundane tasks such as balancing your checkbook are difficult and are often put off until the last possible moment.

Feeling of spaciness or being easily distracted is a sign of not being connected to the earths energy.

Constant worry and stress over your financial situation or sense of security with home and work is a symptom of root chakra blockage.

How To Healing The Root

Exercise,
Enjoy your physical body; walk, run, dance,
Do yoga,
 Play sports, stretch.
 By utilizing our bodies in a physical way
we are allowing the energy to flow through and into us through our root chakra. This does not mean over exerting or exhausting yourself but partaking in any physical activity helps, it is a way of showing gratitude for our bodies.

Second Chakra

The next chakra or second chakra is the Svadhisthana – often referred to as the sacral. It is located two inches below the navel around area of Clitoris in women/ Base of Penis in men).

Seventh Chakra


The seventh chakra is referred to as the Crown.
It is the upper terminal point of the central channel (sushumna-nadi) and the final destination for the awakened serpent-power (kundalini-shakti). When the kundalini, the force of Devi, reaches this center, this signals the merging of Shiva and Shakti.
It is the center of spirituality, enlightenment, dynamic thought and energy. It allows for the inward flow of wisdom, and brings the gift of cosmic consciousness. This is also the center of connectedness with the Goddess (God), the place where life animates the physical body. The silver cord that connects the aura bodies extends from the crown. The soul comes into the body through the crown at birth and leaves from the crown at death. When this chakra is unbalanced there may be a constant sense of frustration, no spark of joy, and destructive feelings. Illnesses may include migraine headaches and depression. Balanced energy in this chakra may include the ability to open up to the Divine and total access to the unconscious and subconscious.
