chakras - an introduction

chakras

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex, used to describe the energy centers of the body. Traditionally, Chakras are depicted as Lotus flowers, each with a different number of petals.

The seven main chakras are located in the etheric body and affect the flow of energy through our system. Each Chakra is associated with certain parts of the physical body as well as with aspects of emotional and spiritual development. Chakras can be activated and balanced to create a life of harmony, health and spiritual awakening.

Each chakra has its own symbol, as well as associated colours, gemstones and oils or incenses which share the same energies, which I've listed below. There are also physical symptoms which may be related to blockages in the energies of each chakra, which I've included as well.
