​​​What are the chakra energy centres and how do I balance my chakras?

​​

1. Base Chakra (Root Chakra)​

   • Colour: Red

   • Role: This chakra connects you to the earth and physical world. It governs your sense of safety, survival, stability, and physical energy. When balanced, you feel grounded, secure, and confident. If blocked, you may feel fearful, anxious, or insecure.

   • Example: If you often worry about money or your home, your base chakra might need attention

   • Location: Base of the spine, around the perineum

2. Sacral Centre (Sacral Chakra)

   • Location: Lower abdomen, just below the belly button

   • Colour: Orange

   • Role: This chakra is about emotions, creativity, pleasure, and relationships. It governs your social life, sexuality, and how you express emotions. A healthy sacral chakra helps you enjoy life’s pleasures and connect with others.

   • Example: Feeling emotionally numb or struggling with relationships can signal sacral chakra imbalance.

3. Solar Plexus Chakra

   • Location: Upper abdomen above the belly button

   • Colour: Yellow

   • Role: This chakra relates to personal power, confidence, will, and self-esteem. When balanced, you feel motivated and in control of your life. Blockages can cause low self-worth or fear of taking action.

   • Example: If you find it hard to make decisions or feel powerless, your solar plexus chakra may be blocked.

4. Heart Chakra

   • Location: Centre of the chest

   • Colour: Green (sometimes pink)

   • Role: The heart chakra governs love, compassion, forgiveness, and empathy. When open, you can give and receive love easily and feel balanced emotionally. When blocked, you might struggle with trust or feel lonely.

   • Example: If you find it hard to forgive or connect with others emotionally, this chakra may need healing.

5. Throat Chakra

   • Location: Throat area

   • Colour: Blue

   • Role: This chakra is about communication, self-expression, and speaking your truth. Balanced energy here means you express yourself clearly and listen well. Blockages may cause difficulty in speaking up or feeling heard.

   • Example: Feeling tongue-tied or misunderstood suggests a blocked throat chakra.

6. Third Eye Chakra

   • Location: Forehead between the eyebrows

   • Colour: Indigo

   • Role: It governs intuition, insight, imagination, and mental clarity. When balanced, you have good focus and inner wisdom. Blockages can cause confusion or lack of direction.

   • Example: If you struggle to trust your instincts or feel mentally foggy, your third eye chakra might be off balance.

7. Crown Chakra

   • Location: Top of the head

   • Colour: Violet, white, or gold

   • Role: This is your connection to higher consciousness, spirituality, and the bigger picture. A balanced crown chakra brings peace, faith, and spiritual awareness. When blocked, you might feel disconnected or lost.

   • Example: Feeling isolated spiritually or lacking purpose may relate to this chakra

There are many more than just the main chakras. While most teachings agree on seven major chakras running along the spine—from the base (root) to the crown of the head—there are also many minor chakras and other energy centers. At Signs of Abundance Counselling, Hypnosis and Healing, a chakra healing session with Tara will focus on the main chakras to start with and your issues may branch off into other chakra energy centres. 

​

There are up to 88,000 chakras if you include all the minor ones! In particular, one system identifies 21 minor chakras located around the body such as behind the eyes, at the palms, behind the knees, and near organs like the liver or thymus. These minor chakras usually correspond in colour and function to the closest major chakra. So it is important to understand these main 7 chakra energies first as they are all interconnected. 

​

Most advanced teachings describe a total of 15 primary chakras, which include the 7 main ones plus 8 "morphogenetic" or higher-dimensional chakras that are dormant or active beyond the physical body. These extra chakras connect us to higher spiritual, galactic, and universal energies. For instance, there is a Soul Star chakra above the head and an Earth Star chakra below the feet.

​

So, to sum up simply:

​

• 7 major chakras are the most commonly known.

• Around 21 minor chakras are often recognized near organs and joints.

• Advanced systems speak of 15 or more chakras, including higher spiritual centers beyond the physical body.

• Some traditions even mention tens of thousands of energy centers!

​

Think of it like this: the 7 main chakras are like the major cities on a map, but there are many smaller towns and villages (minor chakras) and even regions beyond the country itself (higher chakras) that connect you to wider energies.

This means that your energetic system is a complex network of energy centres, all working together to keep you balanced physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

​

Chakras are energy centres within and around your body that influence your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Think of chakras as spinning wheels or vortexes of energy that absorb, transform, and release life energy, much like how your lungs breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. They aren’t visible to the naked eye, but many people can sense them through feelings or psychic awareness.

​

There are seven main chakras, aligned vertically along your spine from the base to the top of your head. Each chakra has its own colour, vibration, location, and role in your wellbeing. When these chakras are balanced and open, energy flows freely, helping you feel healthy, grounded, and spiritually connected. But when blocked or out of balance, they can cause physical discomfort, emotional challenges, or mental blocks.

​

Here’s a simple overview of the seven major chakras:

Frequently Asked Questions About Chakras

​

Q: How do chakras affect my health?

Each chakra corresponds to specific organs and glands in your body. For example, the heart chakra relates to the heart and lungs, while the solar plexus connects to the digestive system. When chakras are blocked, you may experience physical symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, or fatigue, as well as emotional or mental problems.

​

Q: Can chakras be healed or balanced?

Yes! Chakras can be balanced through various methods such as meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, crystal therapy, sound healing, and energy work like Reiki. Even spending time in nature or eating foods that match chakra colours can help restore balance. To learn more about a personal chakra balancing session here. 

​

Q: How do I know if my chakras are out of balance?

Signs may include emotional instability, physical pain, feeling disconnected, low energy, or difficulty expressing yourself. For example, fear and insecurity can point to the base chakra, while trouble communicating can relate to the throat chakra.

​

Q: Are chakras the same for everyone?

The seven major chakras are common across many traditions, but how a person experiences them can vary. Some belief systems also include minor chakras beyond the main seven.

​

Q: Can I sense my own chakras?

Yes, with practice you can begin to feel or sense the energy in your chakras. This might feel like warmth, tingling, or a spinning sensation in the area of the chakra.

​

Understanding your chakras is a powerful step towards improving your wellbeing and living a balanced, fulfilling life. By tuning into these energy centres, you can become more aware of your body, emotions, and spiritual self — helping you navigate life’s challenges with more ease and confidence.
