The chakras are our energy centers; I often refer to them as spiritual batteries. They are the energy centers of the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”; Wheels of light; wheels of energy.
Some people imagine these centers as beautiful lotuses of unfolding pedals. While some people who have developed their clairvoyant sight may see them as vortexes of energy running up along your spine. Your body is truly your temple. It is God is within. Spirit is within.
As humans, we are constantly reaching we constantly seeking outside ourselves trying to find enlightenment. Every intuitive and spiritual teacher; healer I have ever worked and studied with comes to the same conclusion; the human anatomy is engineered by a complex network of etheric wiring which energy flows.
The chakras are the organizing centers for both the reception and the transmission of life energy which is essential to physical, mental, and spiritual development.
We have many chakras in the body but in this blog, we are going to concentrate on the seven that are in and around you. Each chakra corresponds to an endocrine gland in your body.
Chakras run up and down the spinal cord. Energy runs from both the front and the back of each one. The seven centers are the links between your physical body and your aura. They constantly interact with each other.
Each chakra is complemented by its own auric color and has its own unique function. Your thoughts and actions play a big part in the chakras flow of energy, as well as their function. Even though the energy the runs through these centers remains constant it can be increased or decreased depending on how well you balance your life.
Here’s an overview of each of the chakras:

This includes your immediate and extended family, race, social status, education, family legacy, and family expectations. Organs: Physical body support, hip joints, spine, blood, immune system.

Organs: Reproductive organs, large intestine, lower vertebrae, pelvis, appendix, bladder.

There has to be balance when you activate and work with your chakra; you should never focus on stimulating just one. All 7 chakras should be in balance so that the flow of energy can travel through them evenly to the appropriate areas.
If you look at the chakras as the key areas in which emotions manifest in the physical body, you can begin to grasp how cultural experiences of wounding or affirmation may have psychological and emotional consequences that are a set up for either health or for health problems. Whether you perceive chakras as literal places in the body or as metaphoric ones, they can help you activate the mind-body connections your body needs to help you heal.
I believe we are meant to have unlimited amounts of energy. We should all be able to tap into our creative talents easily, to live a life of love, compassion, and peace. It’s possible to have all of this once we turn inward and allow the natural balance of energy to flow through our chakras. This is where transformation truly begins
