Chakra

    In the body exists seven chakra points. Chakra is energy that flows through the body. The word chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel."  Chakra may be a physical or spiritual force. It exists in all of us, for better or worse, as we can have free flowing chakra or blocked chakra.

   The first chakra area is at the base of your spine. It's sometimes known as the root chakra point. Red is it's color. It supports your whole body,  and it has a synergy with the earth. When it's off centered, we will feel disconnected from everything including our surroundings. This base chakra is also in charge of our immune system, and even our legs and such. This is what we should focus on to start off in meditation, for it keeps us well grounded.

   The next is the naval chakra point, centered, yes you guessed it, the naval. It's referred to as the sacral chakra point. Orange is it's color. It's tied into several thing including your adrenaline,  liver, stomach, and most notably your sexual organs. It directs your creativity and personal relationships. This chakra point is water in nature. When the sacral chakra point is off centered, our back and fertility may have issues. We may have issues with self control as well. Whether we admit it or not, the sacral chakra point is important in all of our lives.

  The third chakra point is the solar plexus located around your upper abdomen. It controls your the middle of your spine, your spleen, and influences your gall bladder. It's color is yellow and it's nature is fire. When it is not centered you may be easily offended and have eating disorders.

 The heart chakra is next, it being one of my personal favorites. It monitors things like love, forgiveness, and what we have covered before in a previous post, compassion. It's color is green and it's comprised of air. When it's off centered we may become jealous, hateful, and cruel. Also, when your heart chakra is aligned you may heal more quickly.

 Your throat governs your decision making capabilities and honesty. It's associated with the symbol of sound and it's color is blue. It's important to keep the throat chakra aligned to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and free from throat illnesses.  Drinking water is important to balance your throat chakra point.

 The third eye chakra is between your eyebrows and your mind. It controls your perception and wisdom.  When it is off centered you will lose focus in reality.  When it is balanced correctly, you will make well founded decisions. The third eye chakra point is made of light.

  Lastly we have the crown chakra point at the top of your head, which controls spirituality.when it is balanced your other chakra points will receive more energy and you will feel universally connected. It's color is violet and it's symbol is information. When your crown chakra point is balanced you will be more optimistic.

   Understanding your chakra points and how they flow is crucial. It must be maintained through meditation and quiet reflection. Connect your chairs points and you will be a well rounded person. It takes a lot of maintenance, but your interest here shows you have an open mind and are on the right track. Live peacefully with your surroundings and balance your chakra, and you will know true harmony also spiritual and physical freedom will be yours.
