Learn about the ROOT Chakra

The root chakra is also known as the base chakra, first chakra, or in Sanskrit, the Muladhara, which means root support. The root chakra symbols can be seen as four red petals, a downward pointing triangle, Shiva Lingam, a white elephant, and are even represented by the eastern deities named Brahma and Dakini. It appears as the color red and can be thought to represent the color of the Earth’s core which is lava. Red has the longest wavelength and the slowest vibration (lowest frequency). Its sound is O as in hope. We see its strength through some of our strongest land animals; the elephant, the ox, and the bull.

Learn about the Sacral Chakra

The Sacral is our energy center where our personal passion for life is stored. In this center, all of our relationships, external to ourselves, are expressed. It's in this Chakra that all the passion a person has for life originates; passion for their career, their interests, the roles they play in life (mother, daughter, sister, friend, lover, employee, etc..), and the interpretation of love they receive from others - platonic or romantic.

This is the center where we experience balance or imbalance in sexual relationships, in how we express and receive love for our children or others, or in how we experience and express ourselves in our hobbies, interests, and career.

The Heart Chakra

Just about everyone is aware of the heart chakra at the center of your chest or has heard the term “heart center.” If you put your hands together, as if in prayer, and bring them to your chest that is just about where your heart chakra is located. The color of this chakra is green, and it houses much more than love. Your sense of empathy, compassion, nurturing, connection, and forgiveness is tied to this Chakra.

Learn about the Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra

The Throat Chakra is the fifth chakra, and it is the first of the higher or spiritual chakras. The energetic center of the Throat Chakra lies in the region of the neck and shoulders, including the mouth and ears. Here, the throat is associated with ether and space - a place both empty and pregnant with possibility. According to traditional Yogic wisdom, the Universe was created by the sacred sound of “OM.” Naturally, what we create from this space directly impacts our path and creates our story.

The Purpose: “The way of the Throat Chakra” is to remain in personal integrity and honor with yourself while seeking and sharing the truth.

The Gift: The Throat Chakra offers you the space you need to unapologetically step into who you are made to be. Using the power of your throat, you can speak your truth, and in turn, allow others to speak their truths.

Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth chakra. It is the second of the higher or upper chakras corresponding to the middle of the spiritual body. Its center is located frontally just above and between the eyes, at the center of the eyebrows; and at the first cervical vertebrae at the base of the skull in the back of the body.

In Sanskrit, it is called “Ajna,” which means command or monitoring center. In Eastern Yogic traditions, there are ninety-six petals to the center’s wheel - this is a large vibratory jump from the sixteen seen in the Throat chakra. It is also known as the guru chakra as it is the point where the three main nadis or forces, ida, pingala, and sushumna, meet and merge into one stream of consciousness before flowing up to the Crown chakra. In this point of unification, we move beyond the polarities of light and darkness and into the space where we can perceive the infinite.

Learn about the Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra is referred to in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, meaning thousand-fold. Like a fully expanded lotus flower - the Crown Chakra is an expansive energy center - fully open - upward and outward. This powerhouse energy center connects you to universal energy and transcendence.

Why should you care if my chakras are open?

In your natural state, your chakras are balanced, which means that your physical body, your mental body, and your higher self are all in alignment. When your chakras are balanced and aligned, you feel well.

In this place of alignment, you have the opportunity to move into higher states of consciousness and peace. Some who are deeply in tune with their energetic being may experience a surge, otherwise known as “kundalini energy”. This is a very special energy that begins at the base of your spine and travels through your energy centers to your crown. This energy travels bi-directionally - from the bottom up (Mother Earth's energy) and the top-down (Energy from Source).

What are Chakras?

Taking time to understand and align this vital energy system will help you to become in tune with your body, your emotions, and how YOUR ENERGY is creating and adding to your present environment and life circumstances. Understanding the flow of your energy will help you to see life through a new lens; to see possibilities you perhaps hadn’t before.

Tuning in to your Chakras will help you to become more empathetic and understanding of others as well.

Most importantly, understanding your Chakras and noticing when they are out of alignment can show you how to navigate moments in time that in the past you were unable to do so.

If you want to know more about the Chakra system, I'll be sharing a tidbit or two about each center in the coming weeks.
