The Meaning of Chakras

The 7 Chakras are believed to be the main energy points in your body, which run down your spine. They are a complex ancient energy system that originated in India. The word “Chakra” means “Wheel” or “Disc”.  

Chakras are said to be “Spiritual vortexes of energy that represent seven levels of consciousness”.  These main points are thought to be spinning discs of energy. They should stay open and aligned for energetic balance.  When spinning properly, each Chakra allows energy to flow throughout the body.  If the wheels of energy become blocked by stress, anxiety or emotional upheaval, your balance is off causing your well-being to suffer.  

 Each of the main Chakras are assigned a corresponding number, color, name and specific healing stone.  Individually they each serve a different purpose, corresponding to different feelings, regulating certain feelings. 

The first four chakras - Root, Sacral, Navel and Heart - are associated with earth elements and the physical body. The Third Eye and Crown chakras are associated with light, beauty, intuition, and cosmic or spiritual energy. The Throat chakra is the link between these realms. It is considered to be the highway between the individual and the universal, as it connects the energies between your basic needs and your higher wisdom.

Through these seven energy points we spiritually grow, experience and evolve.  It is believed that having your Chakras “open”, or aligned, leads you towards the ultimate pure energy healing. When all chakras are balanced we are balanced and harmonious, allowing you to live your best life.
