The Seven Chakras

Chakras, by definition, are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to the immune system and emotions. Seven chakras are positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, color, and governs specific functions that help make you, well, human.

 

Most of us have energetic blocks and imbalances as well as energy-sabotaging habits that prevent us from accessing our full vitality, which leads us to feel exhausted, scattered, dull… even ill

 

 

 

When exploring the chakras, it’s best to start at the beginning. Below is a list of each chakra, starting with the base of the spine and moving up. Given is the chakra name, location, colour, and function.

• Root (1st) — Base of the spine; red; governs survival instincts, grounding.
• Sacral (2nd) — Lower abdomen; orange; governs sexuality, intuition, self-worth/-esteem.
• Solar Plexus (3rd) — Upper abdomen; yellow; governs impulse control, ego.
• Heart (4th) — Centre of the chest; green; governs compassion, spirituality.
• Throat (5th) — Throat; blue; governs communication, emotion.
• Third Eye (6th) — Between the eyes; purple; governs rationality, wisdom, imagination.
• Crown (7th) — Top of the head; indigo; governs connection with the divine

  

Anytime a chakra becomes blocked, underactive, or overactive, it can throw you off balance physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

For instance, if you have ever experienced persistent trouble expressing yourself, felt like you’re walking around in an emotional “fog,” or suffered through several bouts of laryngitis or sore throats these are all signs you may have an imbalanced throat chakra.

When chakras are “off,” the body is excellent about communicating what ones are affected. When you consider all the signs you are experiencing, be they physical or not, odds are they’re centered around the area of the affected chakra.

.

 

To restore balance to the chakras, cleansing is needed.

In order to restore positive balance to the affected energy centre, the entire blockage and/or negativity must be removed. The most common method to balance chakras is energy healing, which can include:

• Reiki
• Conscious breathing
• Tai Chi
• Chakra meditation
• Acupressure and acupuncture
• Yoga
• Aromatherapy
• The use of healing stones/Crystals

 

 

Chakra healing stones are each coloured to correspond to individual chakras. Cleansed and charged prior to use, the seven stones are laid upon the body’s energy centres. Each stone possesses a vibrational frequency that matches that of chakra over which it is placed. As the chakra absorbs the stone’s frequency, its balance is restored.

in each of my Chakra soaps I add a specific chakra healing stone along with essential oils - they are listed below in order of Crown to Root.
