It is believed in many forms of healing we have Chakras (Sanskrit for wheel), energy centres within our body. We have seven main chakras running from our crown to the base of our spine and many smaller chakras and these can become blocked by stress, suppressed emotions, illness, trauma, fear or our mindset. Chakras can also be overactive, so imagine the ‘wheel’ spinning to fast or being sluggish, we want to find that balance-like with most things in life!
There are many ways we can heal and unblock our chakras, including; meditation, certain foods, yoga poses, reiki, chanting and sound therapy.
When our chakras are out of balance, we can experience physical ailments, low energy, low mood, pain, anger, depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, digestive issues and creative blocks. There is a spiritual meaning for each emotion or ailment.
Each chakra represented by a colour and has its own meaning…
Crown-Purple-The chakra of spirituality, connection to higher self-when out of balance you may be prone to depression, headaches, brain fog, addiction, judgemental.
Third Eye- Dark blue/indigo-Chakra of awareness- Out of balance- poor judgement, lack of focus, nightmares, obsessive behaviour.
