I often have people ask what are Chakras? It has been used frequently in the ‘hippie world’. But what is it exactly?
Chakras are energy centres in your body. There are 7 main Chakra zones: Crown (above the head), 3rd Eye (forehead), Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus (stomach), Sacral (sexual organs), Root/Base. There are many other areas such as in the organs and minor Chakras (scattered throughout the body). Most practitioners focus on the primary 7.
Imagine the energy centres (Chakras) as spinning discs that work through the body’s cross-section. Each Chakra spins at different speeds and direction (clockwise or anticlockwise). When it is not spinning optimally, we feel wonky or something is not right.
This is where energy healing helps
Energy practitioners, like me, can balance and correct the spin of the Chakras. There are several methods to balance. To balance, I either give Reiki pure energy to the area, use my hands to adjust direction or speed of the Chakra discs, using colour, placing crystals on the area (different types of crystals provide different healing frequences) or use tuning forks (specific frequencies for each area).
Each Chakra is responsible for certain aspects of our lives
If you are recovering from a trauma, your root Chakra may need balancing as it is related to survival. In every session, I check all Chakras and find which needs balancing – even without you telling me what is going on in your life.
There is a clear colour and frequency association for each Chakra. You can wear clothes to reflect the Chakra you feel needs healing based on how you are feeling.
Here is a quick table to help you understand the relationship:
| Location | Colour | Emotional Issue | Physical association | |
| Crown | Very top of the head | Purple | Inner and outer beauty, our connection to spirituality, pure bliss | Pineal gland, brain, nervous system |
| 3rd Eye | Forehead | Violet | Intuition, imagination, wisdom, ability to think and make decisions | Pineal gland, eyes, sinuses |
| Throat | Throat | Sky Blue | Communication, self-expression of feelings, the truth | Thyroid, respiratory system, teeth, vocal cords |
| Heart | Center of chest | Green | Love, joy, inner peace | Heart, thymus, lower lungs, circulatory system, immune system |
| Solar Plexus | Upper abdomen | Yellow | Self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem | Central nervous system, pancreas, liver, digestive tract, skin |
| Sacral | Lower abdomen | Orange | Sense of abundance, well-being, pleasure, sexuality | Reproductive organs, kidneys, bowels, immune system |
| Root | Base of spine | Red | Survival issues such as financial independence, money, and food. | Spine, rectum, legs, arms, circulatory system |
