Let’s Talk Chakras - The spiritual cure du jour!
With the proliferation of energy hunting comes the emergence of an ancient system originating in India. The Chakra is the Sanskrit translation to the more familiar word: wheel, and is an indication of the energy points located in our body. It is said that these seven spinning disks of energy run along the spine, and should remain open and aligned as they manifest our emotional and physical well-being. Their strategic locations correlate with our body’s major organs, allowing lymphatic and endocrine drainage, helping our body to flush out the bad energy and embrace the good. Need we say more? Stay aligned with your Chakras by wearing a charm around your arm or neck. P.S. It’s the perfect conversation starter! .
Let me take you on an otherworldly spiritual journey through the seven Chakras.
Root Chakra
Nestled naturally at the base of the spine, the Root Chakra manifests a sense of security and grounding. It is responsible for the stability in our lives whether emotional or physical. Having an aligned Muladhara Chakra elicits a sense of fearlessness. It’s associated with the colour red.
Sacral Chakra
Emotionally connected to our feelings of self-worth, the Sacral Chakra is located just below the belly button and is associated with our creative expression and our emotional affiliation with others. Symbolised by the orange colour, The Svadisthana chakra represents our ability to accept others and be open to new experiences.
Solar Plexus Chakra
The chakra of personal power is the Solar Plexus, located in the upper abdomen, it is related to our self-esteem and self-confidence. Represented through the colour yellow, the Manipura Chakra enables us to be fully in control of our lives.
Heart Chakra
While most people like to think the Heart Chakra stands for romantic love, the Anahata Chakra stands for universal love. It is the kind of love that often puts others first. Its position in the middle of the seven chakras bridges the gap between our upper and lower chakras. Associated with the colour green, it is a symbol of love, acceptance and trust. When blocked it elicits senses of loneliness, insecurity and isolation.
Throat Chakra
Communication is connected to the Throat Chakra, our ability to verbally express ourselves. When the Throat Chakra is aligned, your ability to speak and listen will be permeated with compassion and confidence, the colour for the Vishuddha Chakra is blue.
Third Eye Chakra
Positioned between the eyes justifies being called the Third Eye, or as some would like to call it the ‘brow chakra’. The Third Eye Chakra evokes the imagination and allows for people to follow their intuition to be able to see the bigger picture. Ajna is the serenity chakra, related to the colour purple. It is the symbol of serenity and clarity. The Ajna chakra represents our ability to focus and look within.
