Chakras Are The Keys To Life

In this article, I will discuss the 7 chakras and their meanings and reveal how they relate to your life and well being.

What Are The 7 Chakras?

First of all, let’s take a look at the chakra system and exactly what chakras are and understanding chakra’s relevance to you. The name Chakra comes from the Sanskrit and means a disk or wheel. A Chakra is an energy vortex that forms part of your energy field. The Chakras, these energy vortexes, run along your body in specific areas. Basically when chakras are being spoken of they usually refer to the Seven Main Chakras. Just as you have a physical body, you also have an energy body and this is created from inter-penetrating layers of energy emanating from these spinning wheels of light.

There are hundreds of chakras throughout your body, positioned at the endocrine glands and nerve plexuses, including seven positioned up the spine which are the main 7 chakras of the body. These run from the first chakra, the Root Chakra, at the base of the spine through to the Crown Chakra at the top of the head.

Each of these chakras looks like a swirling wheel of energy. Each Chakra is where consciousness, your basic spiritual nature, and the physical world, your body and mind, meet. The force associated with the term, chakra energy, is called, Prana, which is defined as the Essential Life Force. Chakras are conduits for spiritual information to flow to you from your higher self which is actually the core of who you are. They also process information from your physical life experiences. This describes the importance of Chakras and their effect on your health and well being in every aspect of our lives.

The Importance of the Main Chakras In The Body

Each of these vortexes of energy corresponds to extensive nerve centers in our physical reality the body. Every one of the main chakras, the principal seven chakras, is comprised of bundles of nerves as well as your main organs. Your emotional, psychological, and spiritual dispositions are all related to these energy centers. These chakras are in constant motion as the term vortex implies. They must do so without impediment. Because of this, it’s imperative that they remain open and aligned as well as fluid in their rotation. If a blockage of any nature is present the energy will cease to flow properly.

A good example would be a drain your toilet bowl. If you allow something other than the appropriate material to be flushed you will experience a most unpleasant backup. If unattended this backup will create a very unwanted result. this holds for your spiritual nature and your physical being as well. Unlike a bathroom fixture which can be accessed easily and cleared readily, your Chakras may not be easy to clear.

How To Balance Chakras For Beginners And Pros

If you are experiencing blocked energy in any of your seven chakras it can result in illness as well many other emotional and spiritual afflictions which impress the importance of balanced chakras. Keeping your chakras open and unblocked may be a challenge on the first examination, however not so challenging once you have an awareness of exactly how to unblock chakras. One can learn how to clear blocked chakras as well as techniques for opening chakras using meditation for chakra healing and meditation for opening chakras.

Considering that the body, spirit, and mind are closely related, an exhibit of an imbalance in one of these areas will definitely be noticed by all the centers. Once your chakra body is aware then aid can be offered by the others to bring it back into balance. You will find that when trauma affects one part of our being like a virus or issue with an organ, one of the chakras is affected. If you have an awareness of the Charkas and the area that each is responsible for you can focus on clearing this particular chakra thus helping to occur much faster.
