Let's talk about energy! Or, more specifically, let's talk about the chakra system. This my friends, is a simple chakra quickie. A very basic introduction to the chakras. I hope you enjoy! xo RED The Root / first chakra is located in the perineum region, right there at the base of your spine. If it's healthy, you are anchored and grounded, as this chakra is what brings the earths energy into our body. This connects us to the magnetic core of the Earth Mother. Our fight or flight response (adrenals!) and our connection to our ancestors resides here. This is our foundation. Our personal drive stems from a healthily functioning root chakra. Feelings of jealousy and anger and even aggression are associated with the energy center. Think red hot! Body part: Adrenals...hello kidneys! If healthy and balanced, you will be:
If unbalanced, you might be:
ORANGE The Sacral / second chakra is located between the pelvic region and the belly button. If it's functioning healthfully, we will be balanced in our appetite for all related things related to pleasure. Whether it be sex, food...we will have a healthy but balanced appetite for it. We must come to understand what is needed and what is simply an "extra" for this to be balanced, if that makes sense. Nothing in excess. Our sexual/sensual/emotional maturity develops here. Feelings of pleasure, envy, self-care and happiness/ unhappiness stem from this energy center. For me, this is also home to the ego. Body part(s): Ovaries and testes! If healthy and balanced, you will:
YELLOW The Solar / third chakra is located just over your stomach, right below your sternum. (Think Heimlich maneuver...right there!) I like to imagine this center as a radiant sun, glowing brightly. It is our center of power, self identity and self worth. It's where our confidence is born if nurtured and also, our free will. A lot of pivotal stuff happens here. This is also where we regulate our digestion! Body part: Pancreas. If healthy and balanced, you will be:
GREEN The Heart / Fourth chakra is located in the center of your chest. This is where we hold our inner flame that connects us to the higher chakras, as it is the bridge between the third chakra (center of power) and the fifth chakra (Center of authentic communication). Our souls divinity is awakened here. Our feelings of connectedness to our family, friends and to ourselves are all held within this center. Our capacity for unconditional love, peace and the innocence of self are what culminates this chakra. Body part: You guessed it...it's the heart! If healthy and balanced, you will be:
If unbalanced, you might be:
BLUE The Throat / Fifth chakra is located at the throat. This is where we learn to speak our authentic truth. It is our center of communication, honesty and it is also connected to our creativity and our expression thereof. As a vessel of truth, our energy here is directly linked to our higher self. It's energy is what helps us to communicate clearly. It is also the energy center used for releasing through tears, shouting, sharing what is bothering you...getting it out and into the open! Body part: Thyroid. Our ears are also associated with this center. If healthy and balanced, you will be:
If unbalanced, you might be:
INDIGO The Third Eye / sixth chakra is located in the space at the brow line, your pituitary gland. Both logical thought and imaginary experience dance together to create a balanced reality if the third eye is balanced. Our intuition and deepest knowledge and inner knowing resides in the energy center. As the pituitary gland, it is also the master gland of all other glands within the body. Think inner and outer vision. Body part(s): Temporal lobes(brain), eyes, sinuses and the skull base. If healthy and balanced, you will be:
If unbalanced, you might be:
VIOLET The Crown / seventh chakra is located at the very top of your head...like a tiny hat. This is where we connect to our divinity, our connection to source energy and to all that is, was and will be. Our divinity, our intelligence and our ability to be open to receiving source energy (many names). In this center we possess an inner knowing that we are never alone and that we are always guided, loved and that we are ultimately supported. We are light and we are the highest love. Body part: Cerebral cortex (brain), top of the skull, and the largest organ...our skin. If healthy and balanced, you will:
If unbalanced, you might be:
