CHAKRAS
What are Chakras?
Chakras are an energy system, which is part of our subtle body. They maintain the flow of energy within and around us, which is vitally important to our wellbeing.
The subtle body connects directly to the physical body. When our chakras are out of balance it affects our subtle body, which will eventually manifest physically through ailments & imbalances including digestive issues, headaches, anxiety & sleep problems.
Understanding our chakras and improving our energy flow can bring greater health, happiness, prosperity, love, wellness, protection & comfort. Our chakras are constantly filtering through energy; they are responsible for sorting and releasing energy. Every person and everything we encounter releases energy, and we are all affected by one another’s energy.
Our chakras can and do work independently but are most powerful when they are all aligned and working together as this creates alignment & balance in all aspects of the physical, mental & spiritual body.
There are 7 primary chakras within us all that run along the spine, each chakra is responsible for a specific energy centre, which includes an area of the body & aspect of consciousness. They also each correspond to a different colour.
