Lately, I have been learning and working more and more with Chakras. I have always possessed an interest in Chakras but was a little intimidated by the subject. I dabbled a little here and there in classes, books, internet searches, etc. but didn’t have a thorough understanding of how it all worked together. One of the first books that I reviewed for Facing North was one on Chakras. It was an introduction book but this book really connected the dots for me. It allowed me to put together the pieces of knowledge that I had gained over the years into something that was understandable and really very interesting. The past few months I have been really looking more at MY chakras and how they affect my overall wellbeing. I decided that I would blog here about some of my gained knowledge and findings so that I may help others or at least encourage them to find a good resource that will help them to explore how their chakras could be affecting their lives. So let’s begin with some basic information on chakras. These are specific energy points that each person contains within their bodies. Everyone’s are in the same location and there are seven of them. Each chakra has its own associations/correspondences. Each one will work with different organ groups within the body, with different mental and emotional areas as well. The chakras are located in a line up our spine and we will go through each one specifically later on but this is a brief overview. The chakras are said to swirl with energy and they need to be balanced to create a healthy individual. When one of the chakras are out of balance it can and will affect the other chakras within the body. Root Chakra- base of spine and deals with things having to do with our foundation, feeling of security, grounded, or overall wellbeing. Sacral Chakra- stomach area just about our base chakra and deals with things having to do with relationships and pleasure. Solar Plexus Chakra- just above the sacral chakra, it can be found at the bottom of the rib cage and deals with all things pertaining to self perception Heart Chakra- just above the solar plexus chakra in the mid chest, this chakra deals with all things love and peace Throat Chakra- found in the throat and dealing with things said and unsaid, communication and expressing ones self Brow Chakra- or also known as the third eye chakra this is located in the center of the forehead and deals with all things in our mind like imagination, wisdom, and intuition Crown Chakra- is at the very top of the head and deals with our connection to the divine and our spirituality Here is a link to a great website to get some really good additional information on chakras from Jaguarmoon: http://jaguarmoon.org/book-of-light-shadows/chakras Here you will find information on meditations to help with recharging and cleansing the chakras which is vital to their health in many instances. Over the next several months you will find additional blogs on my work with the Chakras and I hope you all follow along and comment with your own experiences or advice.
