What Are Chakras?
In many spiritual and healing disciplines, and in the world of energy medicine the word Chakra pops up quite a bit.
So… what are chakras?
Chakras are part of the subtle energy field and are integral to energy healing. Each chakra is a powerful, energetic centre that affects all levels of your being: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. They open our connection to the Universe, expand our grounding to the earth and link us to the universe as a whole.
“Chakras connect your spiritual bodies to your physical one.”
A chakra's primary function is to bring positive and nourishing life force energy into the human body. Chakras also give off energies into your immediate environment. You can energetically perceive and interact with the energetic world around you through the chakra system.
The chakra system is an organizational structure for how the soul handles its life force. Each chakra handling a particular kind of energy. Chakras exist at the meeting point of mind and body, in what is called the subtle body, yet they have a location in the physical body.
Most people are familiar with the 7 primary chakra system, which include the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras. The 12 chakra system includes the 7 primary chakras, plus 5 transpersonal chakras found outside the body. There are also minor chakras in the hands, feet, fingertips and shoulders. Some go even further to recognize up to 114 different chakras.
7 Primary Chakras
These 7 spinning spheres of bioenergetic activity are stacked in a column of energy that span from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, colour, and sound that it is attuned to. Chakras can be knocked off balance by any number of things, including stress, trauma, grief, toxins, and even the weather.
In today’s hectic, stress-inducing world, fully balanced chakras are extremely rare to come by. Therefore, don’t feel disheartened if you suspect something’s not quite right.
“Chakras Do Change Shape And Location”
Chakras are dynamic and interact with our biofield. This means they are not static and change depending on the energies around us or within us. Depending on these energies, the chakras may change shape, spin direction, colour and location; for instance, chakras can drift to either side of the spine where they are not always in the most efficient position.
Understanding the chakras offers a profound insight into the interconnectedness of our mind, body, and soul. By aligning and balancing our chakras, we can promote healing, clarity, and harmony within ourselves, allowing for a greater expression of our authentic selves and a deeper connection to the universe.
