The 7 Chakras: Everything You Need to Know |

The seven energy centers, called chakras, they can provide a physical, mental and emotional state of perfect balance and play a very useful role in our evolution towards inner harmony.

Each of the seven Chakras is associated with different feelings, emotions, desires or fears. All keep memories of what we experience on a daily basis and that impact the results of our goals.

These memories that negatively affect us are the situations of suffering or trauma that we have experienced since we were born.

As each Chakra is with or without energy and according to the degree of consciousness with which we deal with it, this will awaken a different behavior in us. They are fundamental in regulating our body, providing harmony and balance between the physical, emotional and mental, making the connection between the material body and the subjective world.

All these centers are distributed near and along the spine, facing the front and back sides of the body. Its shape resembles a satellite dish. Chakras are linked to:

different colors an electric current specific to taste, to taste life a musical note aromas

These energy centers have a perception that works like a radar. They perceive the world around them and suffer the emotional and energetic impact of events and people around them.

They also function as veritable power plants for radiating energy, emotions and thoughts generated by us consciously or not.

They act on the glands, integrate emotions into the body and, depending on our emotional state, send messages to the glands so that they secrete their different hormones or not.

Below, all seven main Chakras have been covered, one by one, so that you have a little idea and understand how they work, what they are for and in what way.

Armed with this little information, you can start to change your disposition, your mood and better develop your self-awareness.

1st Chakra: Basic or Mulãdhãra

Located at the base of the dorsal column (Coxi region)

Its corresponding color is red, and in this center life and strength are activated. It also deals with material possessions, constipation, anger, fear of losing something, sensory pleasures such as food, drink and many others.

Your hypofunctioning (low energy) can generate actions that revolve around little physical resistance, insecurity, lack of willpower and even the feeling of not belonging.

In this Chakra are trapped all inferior and dense energies (hatred, envy, evil eye, magic) that are sent to us or that we acquire in places and coexistence with people of negative behavior.

2nd Chakra: Umbilical/Sexual or Svãdhishthãna

Located just below the navel

Its corresponding color is orange and its basic principle is the creative reproduction of being and taste. The faulty functioning of this Chakra commonly begins at puberty.

In disharmony, it brings sexual dysfunctions, skin problems, hemorrhoids, kidney problems, lack of self-esteem, problems with the feminine, obsession, abuse and low personal power – like not believing in yourself, among other disorders that are very common in the dynamics of modern life. .

3rd Chakra: Solar Plexus or Manipura

Located below the sternum

His color is solar yellow and he is the center of wisdom and knowledge. It represents our center of strength and creativity.

The third Chakra is linked to the mind, and this is the reason why when we receive a mental shock or experience a strong emotion, we feel the reaction at this point, activating the glandular cells in the stomach, liver, kidneys and pancreas.

It carries our emotions and if it is in disharmony we can stop our feelings, thus generating digestive problems, bulimia, pancreatitis/diabetes, arthritis and much more.

4th Chakra: Heart or Anahata

Located in the middle of the sternum/chest, it connects the physical and spiritual body

Its predominant color is light green, but in matters of love it is pink. The function of your senses is touch.

Its corresponding gland is the thymus, which among other things strengthens the immune system. The task of this center is to unite in harmony the three lower centers – physical and emotional, with the three higher centers – mental and spiritual.

Its symbol is the hexagon, which plastically demonstrates how the energies of the lower and higher Chakras penetrate each other.

When your Heart Chakra is in total harmony with the other Chakras, you become a channel of universal love. You love with the desire to give joy without expecting anything in return because you feel fulfilled in being able to see the other happy.

And the opposite, when it is in disharmony, we feel affected by the facts and victimized by them. We are sad and depressed, afraid of being rejected and excluded. In some cases, this disharmony causes breathing problems, breast problems, back and shoulder pain.

Abundance and prosperity manifests in this energy center.

5th Chakra: Throat or Vishuddha

Located at the base of the throat, it is the center of power and enthusiasm.

Its color is light royal blue and this center is connected to the thyroid gland. It affects the power of speech, it is the link between our inner and outer world. The power of words is released from the power center and is always ready to be fulfilled.

Whether we criticize, praise, or speak words of love, our own spoken words will bring the same thing into our lives. This is also where we get in touch with our inner voice and listening.

Feelings of guilt and unconscious fear, manipulation, shyness, beliefs of inferiority, of a violent and humiliating world are the symptoms of a malfunction.

6th Chakra: Brow or Ajna

It is located between the eyebrows and is called the third eye.

This is the eye that allows us to see perceptibly and is connected to the pineal gland. Its color is indigo indigo.

This center connects all five senses, hearing, touch, smell, taste, sight and performs our mental capacity, imagination, memory – understanding concepts, by ideas in a practical way.

It is the major command center of the central nervous system in the physical body. Problems related to its malfunction include fear of being judged, rigidity, negative and destructive thoughts, vision problems, headaches, lack of concentration and mental confusion, among others.

7th Chakra: Crown or Sahasrara

Located at the highest point in the center of the head

Its vortex opens upwards. Its basic principle is our connection with the universe / spiritual. Its color is purple or violet varying from light to dark and its symbol is the thousand-leaf lotus.

Common emotional problems in the dysfunction of this energy center are the inability to believe in life, attachments, lack of faith, lack of inspiration, bone and muscle and nervous system problems.

Each Chakra connects us to a different dimension of our self as we perceive ourselves. This is a very broad study and it is worth improving our attention and learning.

There are several ways to harmonize the Chakras – working certain physical postures and breathing exercises or also through self-knowledge.

The Chakras are the mirror of our positive or negative behaviors and, to enhance them, we can make a change in behavior through conscious and appropriate choice that will directly impact them.

The most important harmonization tool is to seek, every day, inner silence, aiming for the meditation that will naturally organize all your Chakras.

It is possible to make a study of measurements of the Chakras with Radiesthesia and clearly show what is happening in our unconscious.

We can also, after noticing the disturbances, clean them and enhance them. Armed with the information that leads to dysfunction, it is possible to achieve more balance in these vital energy centers using some daily self-healing tools.

Look for more information about what you would like to do in order to be able to choose your self-organization exercise and get rid of the energetic, mental and emotional instabilities that dwell in you.

A vitalized and harmonized Chakra makes us able to deal with a disorganized environment and with challenging external conditions, without compromising our physical, mental and emotional balance.
