The Chakras… what are they?
There are 7️⃣ chakras. They are all represented by a color and correspond with energetic centers in your body.
❤️ROOT CHAKRA - all about grounding and staying present in the moment and in your mind and body.
🧡SACRAL CHAKRA - all about passion and what makes up our unique personalities and true selves.
💛SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA - all about power, self-acceptance and confidence!
💚HEART CHAKRA - all about loving energy not just to towards yourself but showing compassion to others as well.
💙THROAT CHAKRA - all about honesty and speaking your mind.
💜THIRD EYE CHAKRA - all about intuition, your third eye chakra is said to be your "sixth sense" or thoughts.
💗CROWN CHAKRA - this chakra refers to our connection to the universe and general oneness with your spirituality.
Do you want to explore your chakras on a deeper level? Maybe one in specific?
Let’s go a little deeper!
A question I have been asked many times how how someone would know if one of their chakras was unbalanced. There are signs for each chakra that can help you recognize your personal relationship towards each energy center of the body.
HOW THE CHAKRAS LOOK
UNBALANCED VS BALANCED
❤️ROOT CHAKRA - problems with your legs, feet, immune system, arthritis, knee pain, sciatica, eating disorders, gastrointestinal problem, stress, and money related problems
A healthy and balanced root chakra results in feeling supported, connected, and safe in your own body.
🧡SACRAL CHAKRA - sexual and reproductive health issues, urinary/kidney problems, hip/lower back/pelvic pain, inability to show emotion or desire, and constant fear of being betrayed
A balanced sacral chakra can look like feelings of empowerment - especially in regards to your creativity. Your sexuality is embraced and you naturally feel more outgoing.
💛SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA - chronic fatigue, pancreas and gallbladder issues, big inner critic and fear of being rejected
A well balanced solar plexus chakra can not just bring self-respect, but more importantly - self compassion.
💚HEART CHAKRA - asthma, upper back and shoulder problems, arm/wrist pain, loving TOO much (I.e. suffocation, jealousy, bitterness), and a constant fear about being alone
When your heart chakra is truly balanced, positive energy and people will surround you. You will find joy, gratitude, and love within others; you will feel more connected with everyone around you
💙THROAT CHAKRA - thyroid issue, sore throat, ear infection, neck or shoulder pain, trouble expressing yourself, and a constant fear of being out of control
A balanced throat chakra results in a very honest life - to both yourself and others. The throat chakra helps in living your truth and saying your feelings regardless of what others may think.
💜THIRD EYE CHAKRA - headaches, sinus issues, blurred vision, strained eyes, moodiness and stubbornness
When your third eye chakra is healthily balanced, focus and determination are strong. Additionally, you’re open to seeing others points of view.
💗CROWN CHAKRA - on edge/rigid thoughts, over analyzing, anxious mind/monkey mind, and fear of not fitting in with the world around you
Your crown chakra being balanced creates an amazing unbreakable trust with your inner intuition and guidance.
My favorite part of the chakras is the helpful color association - it makes the spiritual aspect of yoga click so much more. Practicing poses that target each chakra truly helps in balancing them. When your chakras are almost perfectly balancedC the feeling is indescribable. If you’re ever interested in doing chakra work through yoga and meditation please reach out - I would love to help you renew your relationship with the energy centers of your mind, body, and soul!
As always, feel free to suggest some topics! I wanted to start off with some chakra info as that is what really started the healing process between myself and my body.
