Chakras are the foci within our bodies where the energy which makes up our life force is generated. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel; a good representation of the spherical energy field the word refers to.

There are six main chakras that are stacked in a column along a person’s spine, and there is a seventh that is above them, beyond the physicality of the body.

We think of these Chakras as being composed of energy; but it is very important to realize that the Chakras are closely related to and have influence over your physical body.

A healthy alignment of all of the seven Chakras will allow you to maintain your own health and happiness during your life. It is important to understand what each of the chakras is, and what it does for you.

Muladhara

The Muladhara is the chakra of the lower body. It is the root chakra, or the base chakra. This chakra is related to security, to survival, and to instinct. Also, it is related to the potentiality of the basic human life. The center of this chakra is located between the anus and the genitals of a person.

This is the Chakra believed to be influential on the adrenal glands, producing the fight or flight response and other primal behaviors.

Swadhisthana

The Swadhisthana is the reproductive Chakra, also known as the sacral Chakra. This Chakra corresponds to the genitalia and controls sexuality and the creative urge.

This Chakra also governs the production of sex hormones and plays a role in producing mood swings. This Chakra is symbolized by a six petal lotus.

Manipura

The Manipura is the navel. It is considered to be the solar plexus chakra. This chakra deals with the transitions that are found between base emotions and complex emotions. The chakra itself is in charge of base emotions and complex emotions, and dictates the way that they flow into each other. It deals with the flow of energy, the flow of digestion, and can be compared to the way that the pancreas functions in the body.

The Manipura plays an important role in the way that food is converted into energy. It is symbolized by a ten petal lotus.

Anahata

The Anahata is the heart. It is responsible for complex emotions like love and also controls your equilibrium and overall well being. This Chakra corresponds to the thymus gland, located in the chest. It also corresponds to the immune system in the physical body.

This Chakra is symbolized by a twelve petal lotus

Vishuddha

The Vishudda is the throat. This Chakra is responsible for your faculties of communication. This Chakra corresponds to the thyroid gland in the physical body. This Chakra is symbolized by a sixteen petal lotus.

The growth is a form of expression, so the Vishudda is in charge of expressions. Communication is a very important part of your every day life, and therefore this chakra is in charge of it.

Ajna

The Anja is your eyebrow or forehead. This Chakra is the third eye. Ajna is responsible for your ability to visaualize and is the Chakra related to light, time and awareness.

This Chakra is also in charge of the sleep cycle. The symbol of this Chakra is a two petal lotus.

Sahasrara

The Sahasrara is the seventh and final Chakra. The Sahasrara is the most important of all Chakras. This Chakra governs consciousness and as such, it is also important to every other Chakra and every system in the human body. This Chakra corresponds to the pituitary gland in the physical body. This Chakra is symbolized by a thousand petal lotus.

Today many individuals have no clue to the significant existence of the spiritual being and physical being since modern science reduces this fact from their own minds.

Contrary to this are the thoughts of life by the Hindu that the flame of spiritual healing still burns vividly along with the advancement of technology and science.

There are many secondary chakras as well as 7 primary chakras in the body. In Sanskrit Chakra means Wheel of Light. All the chakras work together constantly vibrating and rotating within a healthy human body.

Therefore, any type of imbalance in the movements of chakras will result in an overall imbalance of a healthy functioning body. Chakra balancing then is essential for having a healthy mind, body, and soul.

These centers of activity, the chakras receive, join and then express our life force energy. Chakras are the entry points of the aura. They run along the mid-points of the body from the base of the spine up to the top of the head. These seven chakras attract and diffuse energies back and forth into nature, celestial entities, the universe, and other individuals.

What changes Chakra Balancing?

When one or more chakras suffer a blockage, there is no harmonious flow of energy. Such blockages will cause the chakras to suffer imbalance and in turn, these imbalances will begin to make themselves known in various areas of our lives.

The harmonious functioning of the chakras become unbalanced for various reasons such as, illness, toxic exposure, stress, an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise as well as childhood traumas, emotional injuries, an inability to express emotions, beliefs incongruent with Truth, cultural conditioning, and so on.

Chakra Balancing Secret to Happiness and Health

Natural, harmonious functioning of Chakras is an admirable but unpractical idea. Therefore, humans do attempt to correct this alteration and achieve a fine balance between these Chakras. The theory of self-healing has somewhat of a basis on Chakra balancing.

The condition of our chakras will influence our body shape, our thoughts and behaviors as well as our glandular processes and any recurring ailments we may suffer. Chakra balancing helps our body to work towards achieving a healthier mind, spirit and body.

Since our body is a container for energy, it will constantly release and dispose of any spent energy throughout the cells and vital organs of the body. After doing so, it will then restock its reserve with new supplies of energy.

Chakra balancing helps to ensure that new energy is generating and sends the energy to all the vital organs and cells of the body for its optimal use, while ensuring that all parts of the body shares in this supply of new energy.

While in this most favorable state, happiness, health and inner peace naturally flow. Chakra balancing is simply bringing the Chakras back into their natural state of vibration.
