What is a Chakra?

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning “Wheels of Light”. The Chakras are spiraling energy centres which interact with and allow energy to flow between the Energy Field (Aura) and the physical body. Each Chakra brings in energy and emotion to certain areas of the body, and removes old unwanted energy and emotion from the body. The Chakras are shaped like a cone and their energy spins like a vortex or whirlpool. Each Chakra has its own vibrational frequency, with the Root Chakra being the lowest frequency and each chakra rising in frequency up to the Crown Chakra.

Chakras need attention and care to maintain their balance and energy flow so they can operate at an optimum level of vibration for health and wellbeing.

• Cleanse a Chakra to shift and release stagnant old energy and emotion.
• Open a Chakra to restore a healthy energy flow through the Chakra.

There are a variety of activities you can use to activate, energize, open and cleanse the Chakras they include yoga, exercise, breathing techniques, visualization, meditation, grounding/earthing, emotional and thought release, crystal healing, sound healing, colour therapy and Reiki. 

Two easy ways to start to balance and energize your Chakras are to walk in nature, or go for a swim in the ocean or lake. Enjoy!
