Get to Know Your Chakras

The word chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. This is because each of the chakras is connected to the next in going up your body. Your chakras are located from the bottom to the top of your head. Each chakra serves a function and a corresponding colour making a rainbow throughout your body.

When symptoms occur in your body this may be a sign that something is going on in your energy centres and creating balance will assist in your overall well-being.

Through understanding how your emotions, mind, and body all affect and support each other you will become aware of the way your different body parts relate to your Chakras and address any ‘stuckness’ that there may be around these energy centres. You will most likely have a blockage in one primary chakra that causes imbalances in the rest.

When all seven chakras are in balance, you will feel balanced in your emotions, mind, and body.
