Chakras

Again, sticking with my new found zen mind state, I wanted to share this important part of my new lifestyle, the Chakras.

There are seven main energy centers of the body, these are known as Chakras. These Chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others.  If our energy centers become blocked or depleted then our body cannot function properly and this can lead to a variety of problems on a variety of levels. This is why it is important to learn about your Chakras, how they work and also how to align them.

The first Chakra is the Crown or Sahasrara. This Chakra is located at the top of the head and it's color is violet which relates to self knowledge/spiritual awareness. It is the union with your higher self.

The second Chakra is the Third Eye or Ajna. This Chakra is located at the center of the forehead at the brow line and it's color is indigo which relates to self responsibility. It is about being responsible for ones own life.

The third Chakra is the Throat or Anahata. This Chakra is located at the throat and it's color is blue which relates to self expression. It is about the ability to communicate our needs and requirements.

The fourth Chakra is the Heart or Anahata. This Chakra is located at the heart and it's color is green which relates to love/self love. It is the ability to give and take unconditionally.

The fifth Chakra is the Solar Plexus or Manipura. This Chakra is situated right below the ribs and it's color is yellow which relates to self worth. It is how we feel about ourselves and how we feel others perceive us.

The sixth Chakra is the Sacrum or Swahishana. This Chakra is situated in the lower abdomen and it's color is orange which relates to self respect. It connects us to our senses and and helps to remove inhibitions and makes us independent and social.

Finally the seventh Chakra is the Root or Muladhara. This Chakra is situated at the base of the spine and it relates to self awareness. It connects us to our physical body and gives energy on all levels.

Now that you have a better understanding of all the Chakras, it is important to align them. I use the 7 minute tune up with this great video I found on YouTube. I apologize, I cannot seem to figure out how to post a link into this page but if you go to YouTube.com and search Chakras: 7 Minute Tune Up by soundheals.

After you have done this you should already feel more relaxed and calm. I usually do this at night, in a dark, quiet room with candles burning. I hope you all enjoyed this post and hope it brings you all to a more peaceful mind state.

Peace, Love and Happiness
