Do you ever feel that something in your life just doesn’t feel right? Like you are not able to feel your best, or you always feel stressed out. Maybe you are having health problems that you struggle with, or you might even have emotional struggles.
When your chakras are not flowing correctly, this can cause you to have problems in your mind and your body. When your chakras are working right though, you will have clear thinking and you will have good health in your life.
Chakras
Chakras are the energy centers of your life. This is where your energy flows all through your body. There are seven main chakras in your body and when any of them are unbalanced, your energy cannot flow correctly, and it can cause you to have issues.
The root chakra is found at the tailbone area on the spine. This is where you will feel grounded and the place where you feel safe. This can mean that you are in survival mode, and you need to have money or shelter.
The sacral chakra is in the lower stomach and is where you connect to people around you and experiences. This is where you feel sexual pleasure and abundance.
The solar plexus chakra is found where your upper stomach meets the lower stomach. This is where your self-esteem lies and is the place where you learn to love and have peace.
The throat chakra is found in the throat and is how you communicate with others. This is the chakra that helps you to tell the truth and express what you feel.
Your third eye chakra is found between the eyebrows and is where you can find your intuition and your wisdom. This helps you to make good decisions in your life.
The top chakra or the crown chakra is found at the top of your head. This is where your spiritual being is and where you can connect to your higher self.
Are Chakras Real Things?
Chakras are your energy centers and have been around since Vedas times in Hindu religion. These have bene seen throughout history and are known to need to be balanced. The chakras are not your organs but there are organs that are associated with the chakras.
The chakras are not part of sciences and have not been proven but since everything is energy, the fact that energy is important has been proven. The idea of ever flowing energy and chakra balancing is something that has been around since the 90’s and was used in Chinese ways to develop scientific ideas.
