The
seven chakras are considered the main energy centers of the body. When their energies are blocked, you can feel physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual distress. In this blog, learn about the seven chakras and how specific tools can help with clearing their energies to help you create a happier, healthier, and more peaceful life.
What are the Seven Chakras?
The seven chakras, or energy centers, are located at specific points in your body and work together in unison to generate your life force energy.
When your chakra energies are balanced, you can feel more stability in your mind, body, and spirit. However, your chakras can get blocked due to numerous causes. The most common causes of chakra blockage include work, stress, poor diet, sexual oppression, illness, grief, heartbreak, rejection, resentment, financial turmoil, and more.
The seven main chakras are:
- 1. The Root Chakra is identified by the red color and is located at the perineum for men and cervical area for women. It represents support, financial stability, and strength.
- 2. The Sacral Chakra is located in your pelvic region two inches below the belly button. It represents creativity, groundedness, and sexuality and is orange-colored.
- 3. The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in the space under your ribcage and represents self-confidence, personal power, and the power of transformation. It is identified by the yellow color.
- 4. The Heart Chakra is a green-colored chakra located in your chest and is related to emotions around the heart, self-love, compassion, and empathy.
- 5. The Throat Chakra is located right in the middle of your throat, is sky-blue colored, and is associated with your communication skills, expression, and inspiration.
- 6. The Third Eye Chakra is an indigo-colored chakra located an inch above and between your eyebrows and connects to your brain's pineal gland. It represents telepathy, visualization, and imagination.
- 7. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of your head or your crown and is symbolically represented by violet-colored petals. It represents your consciousness, awareness, and your spiritual connection to the universe.
