A chakra is a spinning portal into the body’s complex energy system. There are seven major chakras—locations shown on the figure to the left. Each chakra acts as a focal point for reception and transmission of life force energies. The word, “Chakra” (pronounced “CHAWK-raw”) is an ancient Sanskrit word that means “wheel”. Each chakra has its own set of specific attributes and functions. As a group, chakras work together to vitalize the physical body and facilitate development of all aspects of the self: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Chakras are constantly adjusting as they move through natural cycles, opening and closing to realign to ever-changing energy flows. Removing and/or preventing energy blockages will allow the chakra system to self-regulate and rebalance naturally as it responds to your individual needs.
Keeping your chakras balanced is key to leading a vibrant, healthy, and fulfilling life. Chakras work together as a team—an imbalance in one will impact the functioning of the others. When a chakra is blocked or out of balance, energy doesn’t flow harmoniously through it, which can manifest in a physical illness or disease—as well as mental, emotional, or spiritual difficulties.
