Chakras Your Subtle Energy Centers

            The definition of the word chakra is a spinning vortex of energy. It is a Sanskrit (ancient language) word that means wheel or disk like. Our chakras are energy centers in our bodies that are constantly receiving energy from our surroundings and environment.

            Everything that has ever happened to us goes through our chakras as these energy centers send and receive energy. Chakras are about the size of your fist and when balanced, should be spinning clockwise. It is important that our chakras are balanced as this provides better health and well being on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

            Chakras that are not balanced may create problems in many areas of your life. There are exercises and meditations that can help and having energy work can be very beneficial in creating and maintaining this balance. There are 7 major chakras, which correlate to the colors of the rainbow.

First chakra - root chakra and has to do with survival. It relates to insecurities, bladder and nervous disorders, sexual dysfunctions and skin problems.

Second chakra - sacral chakra located below the navel. Examples of dysfunctions would be colitis, PMS, kidney problems ovarian/uterine disorders, emotional issues.

Third chakra - solar plexus. Digestive and weight disorders would be a dysfunction, as well as power issues, gallbladder, fear and self-esteem problems.
