There are seven major energy centers among the several thousands that make up our chakra system. These seven major chakra points are the doorways of energy that we gather from our environment and surroundings (including other individuals) that make up the complete person that we are in terms of spirituality, physical and mental existence as a human being.

Each major energy point of our bodys chakra system possesses a unique function which contributes to a unique feature of our individuality. Although they work independently of each other, they are at the same time processing the energy they gather towards a common goal: our well being.

Although there are various models of the human bodys chakra system they have one thing in common, all models depict an uncanny illustration of the human bodys endocrine system and how the various endocrine glands chemically signal and communicate to one another.

The common representation of our major chakras is a straight ascending line along the spinal column from the base to the top of the head. Modern representations go one step further and assign the primary colors of the color wheel to each of the seven major energy points for a better illustration and to depict particular energy representations as colors symbolize different energy levels as well.

The significance and existence of chakras is primarily assumed to exist in our awareness (psyche). Nonetheless, there are advocates who firmly believe that chakras also have a physical manifestation and exist not just in the consciousness. Not without basis though as more and more study on the subject reveals what the Ancient Hindus and other Eastern Civilizations have claimed thousands of years ago: that there is a distinct and direct connection between the locations and performance/behavior of the chakras and of the endocrine glands of our body.

Our bodys energy centers play a very important role in our well being ” both physically and spiritually.

Since the chakra system is the principal processing center for every facet of our self, any interruption, obstruction or dysfunction or fault in the flow of energy in the chakras usually results to illnesses or disorders in our body, mind or spirit. A malfunction of the energy flow through any of the seven major chakras results in a corresponding reaction to specific areas of the body which generally affects the entire individual. The reason for this is because energy fields are generally holistic in nature and can not be separate from its complementary component parts; a malfunction of one affects the others in one way or another.

Of the major energy points of our chakra system, only five are believed to possesses a front part (generally dominant) and a rear part (less dominant). The first chakra (located at the base of the spine and portrays an individuals physical vitality and survival) and the seventh chakra (located at the crown of the head and portrays a persons totality of being and spiritual perfection) are usually represented as having only one dominant component. The other five energy points of our chakra systems are spaced between the first and seventh chakras.

This even makes it more important to realize the functions of our chakra system and how to manipulate them to our advantage in order for them to send and receive energy in equal amounts.

All the seven chakras have a color associated with them, which helps in synchronizing the movement of the respective Chakra. The use of colors in your efforts to strike a balance between their movements is referred to as Chakra Color Therapy.

The main Chakras along with their description and associated colors are discussed below:

1. The Root Chakra (or Muladhara), situated at the base of the spine, is associated with our general health and survival, courage, and vitality. Red is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with overall energy and vitality.

2. The Sacral Chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below the navel. This chakra is associated with our sexual drive and emotions. The associated color is Orange, which is known for its qualities of success, self-confidence, and independence of thoughts.

3. The Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, is located just above the navel. This chakra is associated with will, identity, and power. The associated color is Yellow, which is known for its qualities of self-worthiness, clarity of thought, and intellect.

4. The Heart Chakra (or Anahata), situated at the center of the chest, is associated with love, relationships, and compassion. Green is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with the sense of forgiveness and intimacy.

5. The Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in the throat area. This chakra is associated with expression and communication. The associated color is Blue, which is known for its qualities of clarity in communicating the feelings with others, self-identification, and creativity.

6. The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) is situated between the eyebrows. This sixth chakra is associated with the sixth-sense feelings that are demonstrated through intuitions and apprehensions. The color associated with this chakra is Indigo. The attributes of Indigo color for the body include visualization, self-responsibility, and understanding.

7. The Crown Chakra (or Sahasrara), situated on top of the head, is associated with consciousness, knowledge, and wisdom. Violet is the color associated with this chakra, which empowers the body with a sense of spiritual awareness and self-awareness.

The color associated with each Chakra can be used and incorporated in our lives to balance the dysfunctioning chakras. Chakra Color therapy can be used only after identifying the damaged chakras in the body, which are responsible for its abnormal functioning.

The next step is Color Breathing. This is simple exercise of relaxation with all the seven (colored) cloth swatches besides you. After identifying the disturbed chakra by going through the events of the day, take the colored cloth swatch, and lay them on the body part associated with the affected chakra. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize the color being absorbed by the chakra. The constant practice of this process for 5-10 minutes should be enough for the balancing of the affected Chakra. If more than one Chakra is out of balance, repeat the process for the imbalanced Chakras.

You can easily maintain chakra balance in the body by regularly practicing Chakra Color Therapy for about 10 minutes daily. It will recharge and oil your chakra movements while keeping their healthy movement going within the body. Your physical, mental and spiritual well being was never so easy to attain.

Certain mystical practitioners even believe the number of these wheels to be fourteen.

These begin at the base of the spine/genitals (root chakra) and extend right up to the top of the head (crown chakra).

The base chakra is red. As we go up, the solar plexus has a golden chakra; the belly or womb chakra is orange in hue. The heart has a green chakra, the throat blue and the center of the forehead is indigo. This acts like the third eye. At the crown, the chakra is violet that turns whiter towards its circumference away from the head.

As well as each chakra being associated with a particular color, they are numbered from one to seven with the base chakra being number one and the crown chakra being number seven.

Chakra one controls sexual health, physical strength and vitality

The second chakra commands our creative powers.

Chakra three is responsible for our will power and desires.

Chakra four at the heart commands our emotional energy that opens us up to giving and receiving love.

Chakra five manages the equation between our emotions and thoughts. It decides our communication powers and gives us personal magnetism.

Chakra six influences a person’s intuition, psychic powers and insights, also referred to as the sixth sense.

The seventh chakra connects us with our higher power and the rest of the universe.

When people feel they are connecting directly with God, they are focusing the energies of their seventh, purple-white, crown chakra.

The principle behind these chakras or wheels is that in a clean and healthy mind, these wheels will spin freely. And a spinning wheel will emit the most positive and strongest good energies for the person. However, if these wheels cannot spin due to some blockage, the person will experience sickness problems, both mentally and physically amid his or her chakras.

The secret to health is that these chakras should be balanced. In case even one wheel is more active than others, the result can be addictions, neuroses, obsessive-compulsive disorders or unintentional cruelty.

There is constant worry that these chakras will become blocked. For instance, some people who possess a negative attitude towards sexual relations or have a poor diet will experience ill health or broken romantic relations primarily because they have disturbed the base red chakra.

If you constantly think about dark things like working black magic against people, you’ll clog up the seventh, purple-white, crown chakra and cut off your access to the cosmic or the divine, leaving you feeling bitter, fearful, and empty.

A freely spinning energy wheel will be characteristically flexible. The human mind has the power to receive good vibes and ward off bad and negative ones. It is just like a hand, which can open and close when required but if broken, it will not function. Similarly a healthy chakra will open and close as per the vibes it encounters.

Chakra therapy means basically that you focus your attention and concentration on each of the seven main chakras in turn. This should really be done on a daily basis.

Look at each chakra area by meditating and seeing how its aspects are manifesting in your life. You do this by visualizing your body’s energy in that particular chakra. If you become aware that your chakra energy is lacking in any particular category, then you can use meditation to make that particular chakra healthy and balanced.

Some people find it easier to meditate using a gem stone which is the same color as the chakra they are working on which allows them to get a clear image in their mind as to what needs to be done to make it healthier.

Recently it has become possible to just listen to the individual chakra sound frequencies. By listening to the particular frequency of each chakra your own chakras resonates at this frequency and become completely balanced.

Conversely, the Hindu idea of life has kept alive the practice of spiritual-healing despite the developments in science and technology.

Our body actually consists of seven primary and thousands of secondary Chakras. The word Chakra, is a Sanskrit word meaning Wheel of Light, and according to the theory, these Chakras rotate and vibrate continuously in a healthy human body.

As a result, an imbalance in the vibration of these chakras results in a corresponding imbalance of the healthy functioning of the body. So, Chakra Balancing needs to be done to ensure a healthy body, mind, and soul.

Chakras are Entrance Gates of the Aura and the central points that obtains, incorporates and conveys life-force energy. Situated along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head the seven main Chakras take and transmit energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial bodies and other people.

What distorts Chakra Balancing?

If there is a blockage in one or more of the Chakras, the energy does not flow properly through them, and then ultimately the result will be an imbalance among the Chakras that result in problems in all areas of life.

The correct functioning of the Chakras can distort due to a number of factors, like bad health, stress, unbalanced diet, toxicity, not enough exercise, repressing emotions, untrue beliefs, detachment from a higher power, childhood traumas, cultural conditioning and emotional traumas, etc.

The Importance of Chakra balancing in Health and Happiness

It is very much a utopian idea that the Chakras function completely harmoniously. And so, human effort has always been to try and correct this distortion and strike a fine balance between these Chakras. The idea of self-healing is loosely based on Chakra balancing.

Our body shape, glandular procedures, constant physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior can easily be control by the Chakras. Chakra balancing ensures that these limitations are working to achieve a healthy body, mind, and soul.

The advantages of Chakra Balancing are:

* Complete happiness and peace in body

* Physical health with individual strength

* Awareness and constant feel with ones body

* Sexually content life without getting influenced by lust

* Knowledge of individuals feelings at the unearthly level

* Improved capacity to attract and express love in ones life

* Increased spiritual growth and maturity

* Spiritual healing through higher patterns of consciousness, awareness, and acceptance

* A compassionate and loving heart

* Wonderful confidence levels, but short of being over-confident

* Understanding of the True Self

How do you achieve Chakra Balancing?

Chakra balancing can be accomplished in many ways. You can use one or more of the following methods to successfully balance the Chakras.

* Healing Therapies, such as Reiki

* Yoga (with breathing exercises) and/or Meditation sessions

* Physical exercise

* Color & Light Therapy

* Crystals and Gems

* Balancing by using Hands and Pendulums.

* Aromatherapy

* Touch Therapy

* Optimistic outlook

* Sound frequencies/vibrations

Our body is a store house of energy, in which the used energy is disposed of by the body organs, and refilled, with a new supply of energy.

Chakra balancing ensures that this energy is gained and utilized by the body optimally, and all vital organs and body cells get their fair share of this energy.

In this condition of optimization, inner peace, happiness and general feeling of well being occurs. Chakra Balancing is merely bringing the Chakras back to their normal state of vibration and frequency.

Generally, the energy we refer to is the ability to perform physical tasks due to the strength we get from food but our body demands much more than that, we also receive a lot of inner energy that is necessary for us to develop resistance against tough situations and to take decisions, this inner energy is the resultant of the positive energy that the seven chakras receive from the various planets and satellites.

On most occasions people fail to understand the kind of effect the chakras in their body have on the attitude they wear as well as the kind of life they lead. A very popular theory states that a person with positive thoughts ends up achieving better results as compared to a person with a negative frame of mind. The reason is simple as positivity in thoughts is the result of the abundant positive energy in the chakra governing the thoughts.

Every single chakra has its role to play in the process of controlling and governing the functions of a particular part of the body but each of these chakras reflect variations in the effect they have on the organs.

The seven chakras that have a huge impact on our existence and on our actions can be further explained in details as follows.

The chakra that is placed at the bottom is the root chakra which helps regulating the actual personality and the character of the person. When positive the chakra helps the individual to enhance his/her ability to stand strong against the odds. Root chakra is said to control the large intestine, rectum as well as other digestive organs below the stomach.

Genital Chakra lies above the root chakra and is very important as it helps to control the organs that are important for excretory purposes. This chakra with positive energy could mean that a person is not distracted by luscious offers and can help to have a broad mind. With negativity it can lead to establishing negative vibes and feelings.

The third chakra is the Umbilical chakra, it helps a person to remain calm and stable mentally as well as helps bring out apt responsiveness to any kind of a situation that he/she faces. In case of this chakra imposing negativity the persons behaviour is not stable as he develops feelings of embarrassment and other unstable actions come along. The organs that this chakra regulates include the stomach and other organs which help in digestion.

The heart chakra deals with the emotions dealing with the heart, on the positive end it evokes love and compassion while on the negative side a person becomes arrogant and hypocrite. This circle of energy is related to the cardiovascular system of the human body.

Above the heart chakra is the fifth chakra referred to as the throat chakra, it controls the way we speak as well as what we speak. It helps to regulate critical organs including the mouth and the lungs.

The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra and it helps to pass judgements and perceive things. Positive energy here enhances vision, hearing and smelling powers.

The seventh and the final chakra is crown chakra which promotes the thirst for enlightenment.

In any act we perform it is important that both forms of our existence have the correct balance and can perform optimally. While food, air and water are the key elements for the survival and balanced growth of our physical body, the 7 chakras are considered to be responsible for the active functioning of our spiritual self and it is also important that we maintain the chakra balance.

Since each of the chakras is said to affect an important organ in our body it is important to ensure that all of them are well balanced as living with even a little problem in important organs would be discomforting.

An important component of the chakra balance in our body is water, the association our body has with this liquid shares a big impact on the physical body as well as our chakras.

As soothing as the colors are for our eyes, certain colors can also be soothing to the chakras. They play a definitive role in helping maintain the chakra balance and their introduction into your life can drive away problems caused by the particular chakra with which the color is associated.

Every human experiences the energy exchange with the heavenly bodies while in sleep as the body tends to go into a phase of partial meditation, this is very important cosmic energy that is used to revive the chakra balance.

All of the above mentioned techniques are very important and equal is the importance of exercise in our daily routine as it helps us balance the chakras on a physical ground. It also helps to keep various body parts fit and hence avoids easy damage. You do not require to do hours of exercise in order to maintain chakra balance, keeping as little as 10-15 minutes of regular work out in your schedule is sufficient enough.

Most commonly, this is known as Chakra Energy, or the energy generated by the seven primary energy centers in the body. These energy centers are situated from the base of spine upwards to the head. A brief description of location of seven Chakras wont be out of place:

* Root or the Base Chakra (RED) located at the base of the spine, known as the coccyx.

* Sacral Chakra (ORANGE) located in the lower abdomen.

* Solar Plexus (YELLOW) Chakra situated just above the navel.

* Heart Chakra (GREEN) situated in the center of the chest.

* Throat Chakra (BLUE) located at the base of the throat.

* Third Eye Chakra (INDIGO) located in between the eyes.

* Crown Chakra (VIOLET) located on top of the head.

Though invisible, these Chakras constantly and continuously rotate in the bodies at their stated positions. This movement is responsible for the production of energy, called Chakra Energy.

The movement of the Chakras has to be harmonious in order to produce the desired effect. Naturally, the movement of Chakra is in sync, but imbalance can occur due to several physical or emotional pressures. The remedy is simply to work towards the achievement of Chakra Balance through physical and metaphysical means.

So, whats there to know about Chakra Energy? The entire Chakra System of the body is based on the spiritual side of our existence. Its more a matter of feeling than sensing. You can say that Chakra System is a part of the sixth sense in your body. The energy produced by the Chakra System is responsible for blessing you with a healthy life or cursing you with an unhealthy one.

If the movement is in sync, the Chakras will produce sufficient energy to ensure physical and mental well being. However, if the movement is not in sync, the energy so produced will not be sufficient and itll invariably result in some body ailment.

The other important thing to know about Chakra Energy is the difficulty level in your quest to attain Chakra balance. Indeed, its not easy to bring about a radical shift in Chakra movement overnight. However, if you persist and show extreme determination to attain that magical Chakra balance, believe me, its a life-changing experience. The process is called Chakra Meditation, and is performed by sitting or lying down in a most natural posture. The next step is to relax every body part and feel every cell and organ of the body starting from the toe. This means a lot of visualization, and in the process, lots of distractions in the form of negative emotions. But the key is to persevere and eventually, you will conquer every hurdle in your way and transform into the most evolved being known to mankind.

This may trigger a natural question, i.e., why this simple fact is largely unknown to the modern humans? The answer lies in the over-dependence on science and technology for even the basic human needs. Earth is sufficient to provide us with all the supplies needed for a healthy and peaceful existence. But the modern man has divided the control over the Earths blessings, resulting in constant struggle and over-dependence science to augment the supplies of even the basic necessities. Moreover, the thrust on technologically advanced gadgets has meant increasing drift from the spiritual aspect of life.

Fortunately, everything is not lost forever because the Chakra Energy is within, and you can correct the Chakra movements anytime you want to change your life for better. All it requires is sustained effort and a strong desire to make a healthy change in your life. If you appreciate and understand your body and its simple requirements, then balanced Chakra movements is not too difficult to achieve. Originally, our needs are not meant to go beyond what Mother Earth can naturally provide. However, the imbalance of Chakra movements is the price we have collectively paid for the scientific advancements. And Chakra balancing is the answer to all your health-related questions in the Twenty First Century.

One of their main functions is to vitalize our physical body and also to bring about the development of your self-consciousness. Chakras are also associated with our mental, physical, and emotional interactions.

You may wonder what the chakras look like. While researching you will find that chakras have a funnel like appearance, with even smaller funnels spinning within the larger funnel. Chakras have a similar appearance of the lotus flower.

Each individual has seven chakra centers, which associate with their own specific corresponding color. Here you will learn each chakras physical location within the body, as well as the beneficial gifts of chakra balance, the means of enhancing your life and well being by relieving a good deal of stress and anxiety that we as humans experience on a daily basis.

The seven chakras are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart and throat chakras as well as the brow or third eye chakra and the crown chakra. They line up in the center of your body, beginning at the base of your spine and follow up to the top of your head.

To achieve chakra balance, you should eat specific foods that encourage the grounding and revitalization of energy to your chakras. You may find this list of foods helpful for balancing your chakras.

Root Chakra: Beans, beets, carrots, eggs, garlic, meat, parsnips, potatoes, radishes and tofu products.

The sacral chakra benefits by eating such foods as mangos, almonds, melons, cinnamon and honey as well as many other foods.

The solar plexus chakra benefits by consuming such foods as milk, cheese, cereal, flax seed, mints, ginger and various others, since they are helpful for building the self esteem.

The heart chakra benefits by eating thyme, sage, spinach, basil, broccoli and green teas, since they encourage the healing of emotional upsets.

Next is your throat chakra and to help to speak truth try eating lemons, limes, kiwi, salt , lemon grass, apples, pears, and plums.

The brow chakra and to help awaken third eye senses try blueberries, red grapes, black berries, lavender, poppy seed.

For the final chakra your crown chakra, this will help to open and clear spiritual communication try the following incense sage, copal, myrrh, frankincense, and juniper.

Keep in mind this list is only a fraction of the types of spices, drinks and food products useful for chakra balance. To achieve a chakra balance, however, you will need to learn to gain better focus on the chakra centers of your body.

Gemstones also play an important role in chakra balance, while laying a gemstone upon each chakra point. Each chakra can reach the well being of balance by leaving a gemstone on the area for at least three to five minutes, depending of course on the level of balance you feel each chakra requires. To do this, you will begin with the root chakra and work your way up the body.

You may choose to use any type of gemstone, however, you should be aware that some individuals recommend particular gemstones for each chakra center, although the choice of gemstone may vary from one individual to another. You can easily test the theory by alternating gemstones until you find your perfect match. You may notice a humming once you have your gemstones in place on your chakras, or perhaps a feel good feeling when utilizing the best gemstones. If you experience any negative feelings, or the gemstone just does not feel right, remove it and do not use it for chakra work at all.

After experimenting with various gemstones, you will find the perfect gemstone that feels good to you. Once you find the best gemstone for your use, you should make a list of the gemstone you use as well as the chakra you use it on. For instance, some individuals may use a lapis lazuli for the throat chakra, however if it is not comfortable for you, it is not the best gemstone to use on your chakras. You should never feel as though you have done something wrong when a recommended gemstone does not feel right for you.

A chakra balance can also be done all at once, put your gemstones on each chakra point at the same time, and then leave them on for three to 25 minutes, again depending on how much your chakra’s need to be balanced.

A new scientific development in audio technology now allows you to achieve a chakra balance just by listening to special sound frequencies.

By listening on headphones, your own chakras instantly start to resonate at the correct frequency!
