We can think of chakras as focal points of energy, these 7 focal points act as entry ways and exits in which energy is released, resides, and absorbed. When all 7 chakras are opened they work harmoniously and allow energy to run through your body freely bringing peace to you physically, spiritually, and in your body and mind. To have all of your chakras balanced and opened is essentially the goal.
Root Chakra
This chakra is located along your tailbone and it represents your foundation, hence the name. This wheel of energy sits at the base of the spine and allows us to feel grounded and rooted in ourselves.
Sacral Chakra
This chakra can be found in your lower abdomen. This chakra rules sexual energy and creativity, and it also rules how we relate other people’s emotions and how we deal with our own.
Solar Plexus Chakra
This chakra is interconnected with how confident and how much control you have over your life. It can be found in the upper abdomen area. This is where your “gut” feeling comes from or when you feel butterflies.
Heart Chakra
Your heart chakra is found in the center of your chest, and it is exactly as it sounds. This chakra rules how you give and receive love. Now this love does not need to only be from others but how we take and give love to ourselves everyday.
Throat Chakra
The throat chakra is located in your throat and it obviously rules how you communicate and speak with others. This chakra is also aligned with the heart chakra.
Third Eye Chakra
This chakra is my personal favorite because it has everything to do with psychic power and your intuition. This wheel of energy deals strictly with the divine and can help you connect with your spirit guides and see the bigger picture.
Crown Chakra
The last chakra is the crown chakra which is located at the very top of the head. This chakra is the highest and reflects that. When this chakra is opened you have a higher consciousness and everything about you is lined up and working harmoniously.
