CHAKRAS AND THEIR PROPERTIES

Chakras refer to various energy centres in your body that correspond to specific nerve bundles and internal organs. The seven major chakras run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. If these energy centres get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.

·         Muladhara Chakra - Root. Muladhara is situated at the base of the spine. ...

·         Svadhishthana Chakra - Sacral. ...

·         Manipura Chakra - Solar Plexus. ...

·         Anahata Chakra - Heart. ...

·         Vishuddha Chakra - Throat. ...

·         Ajna Chakra - Third Eye. ...

·         Sahasrara – Crown of Head.

A blocked root (Mooldhara Chakra): Location: The base of the spine, in the tailbone area: Colour: Red: Meaning:  can manifest physical issues like arthritis, constipation, and bladder or colon problem, or emotionally through feeling insecure about finances or our basic needs and wellbeing. When it’s in alignment and open, we will feel grounded and secure both physically and emotionally.

Svadhishthana (Sacral) Chakra: Location: Just below the bellybutton, just above the pelvic bone: Colour: Orange: Meaning: Sexuality, pleasure, Creativity: Issues with Chakra can be seen via problems with the associated organs, like urinary tract infections, lower back pain and impotency. Emotionally this chakra is connected to our feelings of self-worth, and even more specifically, our self-worth around pleasure, sexuality and creativity.

Manipura Chakra: Solar Plexus Chakra: Location: The upper abdomen, in the stomach area, Colour: Yellow: Meaning: Self- esteem: Confidence. Blockages in the third chakra are often experienced through digestive issues like ulcers, heartburn, eating disorders, and indigestion. It’s Chakra of our personal power. This means it’s related to our self-esteem and self-confidence.

Anahata Chakra – Heart Chakra: Location: Centre of the chest, just above the heart: Colour: Green: Meaning: Love and compassion, .Blocks in our heart chakra can manifest in our physical health through heart problems, asthma and weight issues, but blocks are often seen even more clearly through people’sactions.

People with heart chakra blocks put often put others first, to their own detriments. It’s the middle of the seven Chakras, so it bridges the gap between our upper and lower chakras, and it also represents our ability our love and connect to others. When out of alignment, it can make us feel lonely, insecure and isolated. 

Vishuddha Chakra – Throat Chakra: Location: The throat: Colour: Blue: Meaning: Communication: As one would expect, this chakra is connected to our ability to communicate verbally. Voice and throat problems as well as any problems with everything surrounding that area, such as the teeth, gums, and mouth, can indicate a blockage. Blocks or misalignment can also be seen through dominating conversations, gossiping, speaking without thinking, and having trouble speaking your mind. When in alignment, you will speak and listen with compassion and feel confident when you speak because you know you are being true to yourself with your words.

Ajna Chakra - Third Eye. : Location: Between the eyes, on the forehead, which is it is also known as the “Brow chakra”. Colour: Indigo, Meaning: Intuition, imagination.

Since this chakra is physically located on the head, blockages can manifest as headaches, issues with sight or concentration, and hearing problems. People who have trouble listening to reality (Who seem to “know it all”) or mean to or who are not in touch with their intuition may also have a block. When open and in alignment, it’s thought that people will follow their intuition and be able to see the big picture.  

Sahasrara – Crown of Head: Location: The very top of the head: Colour: Violet or white. Meaning: Awareness and intelligence.

The crown Chakra is linked to every other chakra (And therefore every organ in this system) and so it affects not just all those organs, but also our brain and nervous system. It is considered the chakra of enlightenment and represents our connection to our life’s purpose and spirituality. Those with a blocked crown chakra may seem narrow minded, sceptical or stubborn. When this Chakra is open, it is thought to help keep all the other chakras open and to bring the person bliss and enlightenment.
