What are Chakra's?

Chakra's are energy centers within us, that correspond to our energetic body and affect our mental, emotional and physical well-being. There's all sorts of information on the web that speak of the origins and history of working with Chakra's if you are interested in that however, here, we will simply focus on basic understanding and relating to them for the purpose of healing yourself. Energetically, what you put out into the world, you get back and you cannot poor from an empty cup. Phrases we've all heard and yet may not fully grasp the complex simplicity of.

As within so without, which translates to, you're inner conditions create your outer conditions and vs. versa.  Through the tribulations of life, we go through many highs and lows. These inner conditions effect our surroundings. Some people are highly sensitive and are able to feel when they are energetically out of alignment, while others have to rely on 3D signs, ex. if your Chakra's are out of balance, you may feel disorganized, lazy or you may be forgetful or clumsy and unable to focus. Each Chakra relates to various mental and emotional conditions, (shown below-left), and if left blocked or imbalanced may result in disharmony in our home or work environment and may reveal itself in the physical body as illness or disease. 

The picture on the right is an example of the contrast in conditions that can cause blockages and imbalances in our sense of self, which is essentially what it is all about. The photo doesn't come close to complete coverage of the human state, but it plants a picture. Energetically, Chakra's emit frequency, the clearer and more balanced your Chakra's, the lighter or more "in-tune" you feel. Take my advice though, stay centered or grounded because going real high brings a crash landing if you're not careful. Emotionally however, If you have unhealed mental or emotional trauma, most likely you have a few blocked Chakra's from carrying the "baggage". When we carry the painful emotions associated to our wounded past, we are "murking the waters" so to speak, not allowing ourselves to "flow".  You can find more information about each Chakra from the drop down menu, under this section.
