We’ve all probably heard about chakras, but may not know exactly what they are. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel or disk. In Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy all over the body. There are seven main chakras, which start at the spine and go up through the crown of your head. Imagine swirling wheels of energy where matter and consciousness meet. This invisible energy is called many things depending on where you live; Chi, Ki, Qi, Prana, Life force energy, and dozen’s of more names. This Vital force energy is what keeps us healthy, vibrant and alive.
To maintain optimal health, it’s important that these energy centers remain open, aligned and fluid. If there is a blockage or imbalance in any of these centers, energy cannot flow freely and this can lead to illness. If we are clinging onto certain fears and unhealthy emotions, it will affect one or more of your chakras. When your chakras are blocked, your internal energy builds up, throwing your body, mind and spiritual connection out of balance. The result is you feel sluggish, unmotivated and lost. Opening your chakras can literally bring you back to life. You’ll radiate positive energy, you feel alive and your physical body will feel so much better. Can you awaken or unblock your chakras on your own? Yes, there are many Chakra books on the market that offer guidance and doable exercises to balance these spiritual centers.
