The Chakras

The chakras are key to our physical health, emotional stability and mental clarity. They act as conductors by filtering energy from the heavens and the earth. These energy fields form a chakra. The chakras are discs of focused energy associated with different colours. The spiral of each chakra narrows it gets closer to the physical and the 7 main chakras link directly into our spine.

These spinning wheels (as they are known in Sanskrit) give information about our aura and also hold details of past pains and trauma. This vortex of moving energy then stimulates various endocrine organs in the body which then secrete hormones into the bloodstream. The hormones control our body and affect the state of our minds.

The chakras can be likened to a filtration system as they purify our energy and when open correctly can enable the body and mind to function well

These are the 7 main chakras in the body; Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Brown and Crown. Each chakra is associated with a physical element of the body each one is represented by an emotion as well. Below are the physical and emotional elements for each one.
