*The very basics of chakras

Chakras are energy centers within your body. They are sort of a gauge of whether or not all the areas of your life are balanced. There are seven chakras and they each focus on a variety of areas in your life.

When an area of your life is out of balance, there is a corresponding chakra located within your body and it will come out of balance as well. You will probably experience discomfort in the corresponding area in your body. A good example of this is when you have a lot on your mind, or there is a lot of chaos surrounding your environment, this would effect your sixth or possibly your seventh chakra, leaving you with a headache, brain fog, ear aches etc.

The following is a simple breakdown of our 7 chakras, where they are located and a bit about what each chakra involves.

Your seventh chakra is located at the very top of your head, it is connected with the color violet. It's our connection to God/Creator and the divine guidance available. An unbalance here or a disconnection to your divine guidance, could possibly create symptoms of fatigue, headache, brain fog or confusion about what your true purpose is.

Our sixth chakra is located in the center of our brain in the pineal gland, and is associated with the color indigo. It is our doorway to divine guidance, insights and psychic abilities. An imbalance in the sixth chakra could lead to headaches, eye problems, memory issues, brain fog etc.

Our fifth chakra is located around our throat, it is connected to the color blue. It is connected with speaking our truth (with integrity), speaking up for ourselves, others, and what is right. An imbalance here could cause discomfort within your throat, sinus and mouth area, even the temporary loss of your voice.

Our fourth chakra is located around our heart and is associated with the color green. It is connected with love, how we give and receive love, and how we love ourselves. An imbalanced heart chakra could pose heart, lung and chest, arm and hand problems.

Our third chakra is located at our solar plexus, right below where your rib cage meets in the middle of your chest and it associated with the color yellow. It connects you with your will power, your ability to achieve and accomplish your desires, through your inner strength and having the will to do so. It is your "I AM". An imbalance here can create issues with the digestive system, ulcers, muscles, depression and anxiety.

Our second chakra is located in our lower abdomen, genitals and the womb. It is associated with the color orange. It connects us with our desires, creativity, self expression, sexuality, and procreation. An imbalance in this area can lead to uterine, bladder and kidney trouble, impotence, and lower back stiffness.

Our first chakra is located at the base of the spine and perineum and is associated with the color red. This chakra is what grounds us to earth, it is where our basic survival instincts come from. The root chakra when imbalanced is associated with obesity, leg and knee issues, constipation, degenerative arthritis and hemorrhoids.

So this is about as basic as it gets. There is so much more about chakras, their functions, and the balancing of them. It is well worth doing some research on this topic if you are unfamiliar with them. They play a very large role in our ability to heal and evolve and there is much you can do to insure your chakras are well balanced and better yet know when they are unbalanced and be able to better understand what needs to be done or shifted in your life to come back into balance.
