What are Chakras?The Origin & Meaning of the Term 'Chakras'
'Chakra' is an ancient Sanskrit word, that when translated to English, means:
"Spinning wheel." That is because the chakras are energy centers, and quite literally vortexes that spin around in the human body. They have a vital role of helping push through vital lifeforce energy commonly known as 'chi' or 'prana.' They form a major part of your energetic system. |
The Main Chakras
Although we have many chakras in our energy field, the 7 main ones you mostly hear about and work with are:
What do Chakras Look Like?
Chakras are invisible to the naked eye, however some people with psychic ability are able to see them through their spiritual clairvoyance. Energetically, they appear like invisible mini fans or like vibrant, glowing spheres of light.
As each chakra is also associated with a specific color frequency, they are able to be viewed or even visualised in this way. There are colors appointed to each main chakra, but you might see or experience them in another way.

The Purpose and Function of Chakras
Each chakra has a specific purpose and function and affects us emotionally, physically and spiritually.
For example the crown chakra, when healthy, helps us connect with God and the Divine, the throat chakra
assists in our power to communicate and express ourselves, and our base chakra helps us feel stable and supported.
The list goes on.
How Chakras Connect with Mental, Emotional & Phsyical State
Because chakras are a part of our auric system, they also connect to our other energy layers, such as our emotional and mental bodies. As such, there is a symbiotic relationship between our chakras and how we feel mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and energetically.
Figuring out which chakras are problematic for you helps you work out what is going on in your life and what you need to do about it. It can give you many clues about how you are truly feeling ad being affected by things, especially as an empath or energy sensitive.
When we become more educated and aware of our chakras, what they represent, how they affect us, and how they are interlinked to so many aspects of our private selves, we can begin a journey of self care, awareness, attentiveness and personal development, and beyond that into more profound self awareness and spiritual growth.

How Chakras Get Affected
Chakras can get cloggy or dirty, due our own thoughts, emotions and life experiences, as well as the negative energy we pick up from others.
When they become too energetically dirty, they can affect anything, from our love or work life, to our creativity, communication skills, sense of security and belonging, or feelings of confidence, self esteem, and so on.
