Commonly, each of the body’s basic seven chakras is associated with specific locations on
the body, such as the heart, the throat, or the crown of the head. But when you look at a
chakra chart, you don’t see the underlying network of glands (and their nearby organs)
governed and influenced by the chakra system.
The function the chakras is very intricate in that it is an energy system that communicates
with the body via biological systems, such as the endocrine glands and nervous system, to
keep it balanced and healthy.
For the purposes of this article, let’s take a closer look at the association between the chakras
and endocrine systems.
Whenever one of our energy centers is thrown off balance by a blockage, physical maladies
can happen. It is important to remember that chakras function on the same principle as a
pendulum. If one of them is underactive or overactive, signs will start to manifest that it’s
“out of rhythm”. Chakra balancing is in order.
The disturbance is felt either at the level of that specific or the level of another chakra or set
of chakras connected to it. For instance, when the throat chakra is blocked you may
experience sore throat, neck pain, or laryngitis. Similarly, when the heart chakra is out-of-
sorts, high blood pressure and heart-related problems can arise.
Examples of Connection Between the Chakra and
Glandular Systems
Pituitary Gland Chakra
There are two chakra glands that serve to regulate overall glandular and biological function:
the pituitary gland chakra and pineal gland chakra.
A simple technique to use to interact with the thymus gland, it to tap lightly with the tip of
your fingers, either at the center of the chest at the collar bones level, or on each side about 3
to 4 inches away. The first technique calms the nervous system, the second one tends to
brings the level of energy up.
Note that another useful entry point in balancing the energy body is the nervous system and
its multiple nexi, most of them associated with glands and organs. To prepare a healing
session, it can be useful to relax and balance the nervous system and then target a gland or a
specific region of the body.
We can regulate the function of the chakras through breathing exercises, meditation,
relaxation techniques, but also diet and exercise. By acting at the physical level, we support
chakra functions are multiple levels, not only physically, but also psychologically,
emotionally, and spiritually. By working on one chakra, we also affect the entire chakra
system’s balance.
The root chakra is the first chakra. Its energy is based on the earth element. It’s associated
with the feeling of safety and grounding. It’s at the base of the chakra system and lays the
foundation for expansion in your life.

Support and foundation for living our lives
The root chakra provides the foundation on which we build our life. It supports us in growing
and feeling safe into exploring all the aspects of life. It is related to our feeling of safety and
security, whether it’s physical or regarding our bodily needs or metaphorical regarding
housing and financial safety. To sum it up, the first chakra questions are around the idea of
survival and safety. The root chakra is where we ground ourselves into the earth and anchor
our energy into the manifest world.

For a person who has imbalance in the first chakra, it might be hard to feel safe in the world
and everything looks like a potential risk. The desire for security dominates and can translate
into concerns over the job situation, physical safety, shelter, health. A blocked root chakra
may turn into behaviors ruled mainly by fear.
On the same line, when the root chakra is overactive, fear might turn into greed and paranoia,
which are extreme forms of manifestation of imbalance in the first chakra. Issues with control
over food intake and diet are related to it.

The main idea is to work at growing your ”roots” in a safe and comfortable environment (i.e.,
surround yourself with earth colors, objects reminding you of nature, stability; or on the
contrary, if you wish to feel less stuck, do the opposite).
Yoga for the root chakra can be a more physical way to bridge the body and mind and restore
a more balanced energy flow.
Root chakra
Muladhara
Adhara
Its sanscrit name is ”muladhara” can signify “base”, ‘foundation”, “root support”.
Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana) — By stretching the legs and hips, standing
forward bend strengthens the knees and thighs which allows for stable grounding and
opening of the root chakra.
Garland (Malasana) — Frequently used to lead into standing forward bend, garland
pose strengthens the ankles and lower back to help activate the first chakra.
Head-to-knee Forward Bend (Janu Sirsasana) — Benefiting the spine, hamstrings, and
groin muscles, this pose stimulates kidney and liver function and increases energy
flow through the first chakra.
Reclining Bound Angle (Supta Baddha Konasana) — As you stretch your inner
thighs, knees, and groin muscle, reclining bound angle pose also stimulates organ
function in the bladder, kidneys and reproductive organs which helps balance chakra
energy.
Wide-Legged Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana) — An asana similar to the
standing forward bend, this position helps stretch and strengthen the legs and spine,
which helps open and activate the root chakra.
Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II) — This pose helps strengthen and stretch the legs and
ankles while nurturing a strong core. Mastering this pose will increase your stamina
which is key to maintaining a balanced first chakra.
he sacral chakra is the second chakra. It is associated with the emotional body, sensuality, and
creativity. Its element is water and as such, its energy is characterized by flow and flexibility.

this energy center’s basics, including its location, color, symbol, potential signs of imbalance,
and what to do heal your sacral chakra.
Other noteworthy locations described in different systems, expand its location to the genital
area, especially at the level of ovaries for women and the testicles for men.
ADVERTISEMENTS
Emotions, feelings
Relationships, relating
Expression of sexuality, sensual pleasure
Feeling the outer and inner worlds
Creativity
Fantasies
The sacral chakra is associated with the realm of emotions. It’s the center of our feelings and
sensations. It’s particularly active in our sexuality and the expression of our sensual and
sexual desires.
Motivated by pleasure, it’s the driving force for the enjoyment of life through the senses,
whether it’s auditory, through taste, touch, or sight. Opening your sacral chakra allows you to
“feel” the world around and in us. As such, it’s an important chakra at the foundation of our
feeling of well-being.
The second chakra is instrumental in developing flexibility in our life. Associated with the
water element, it’s characterized by movement and flow in our emotions and thoughts. It
supports personal expansion and the formation of identity through relating to others and to
the world.
Dependency, co-dependency with other people or a substance that grants you easy
access to pleasure
Being ruled by your emotions
The opposite: Feeling numb, out of touch with yourself and how you feel
Overindulgence in fantasies, sexual obsessions
Or the opposite: Lack of sexual desire or satisfaction
Feeling stuck in a particular feeling or mood
Meditation
Meditation is very useful for chakra cleansing and balancing. For example, a simple sacral
chakra healing meditation consists in envisioning an orange lotus or orange crescent moon in
the area of the second chakra in the pelvis area. Hold that image in your mind for a few
minutes while breathing deeply.
Sacral Chakra Healing foods
Dietary changes can also help cleanse your second chakra. Oranges, melons, coconuts and
other sweet fruits are good sacral chakra healing food. Cinnamon is also useful, as is drinking
plenty of water.
Sandalwood, patchouli, orange, rose and ylang-ylang essential oils can be used as
aromatherapy for second chakra healing. These can be used alone, in meditation, and in
conjunction with chakra crystals.
Sacral chakra healing stones include citrine, carnelian, orange calcite, and other orange
stones. Moonstone can also be used because of this chakra’s association with water and the
moon.
Yoga for sacral chakra healing should focus on hip opening poses like Upavistha Konasana,
or Open Angle Pose. Baddha Konasana, or Bound Angle Pose, is another simple but useful
pose. Yoga practice for second chakra healing should be slow and relaxed rather than fast or
overly challenging.
Since the sacral chakra’s element is water, getting outside and relaxing near open water can
help open your second chakra. Lakes, rivers, streams or the ocean are all useful. If possible,
wade in or dangle your feet in the water to help the energy flow. Taking a bath or a shower
can also contribute to balancing your chakra while providing the relaxation needed to keep
your emotions flowing.
The chakra color associated with Manipura is yellow, which means that bananas, sunflower
seeds, yellow peppers and cheeses are good solar plexus chakra healing food. Spices for the
solar plexus chakra are ginger, chamomile, mint, and cumin.
Meditation can help with opening Manipura. A simple exercise is to simply envision a
brilliant yellow sunflower over your solar plexus chakra. This can be even more effective
with the use of chakra stones. Solar plexus chakra healing stones include yellow stones like
citrine, amber, yellow tourmaline and tiger’s eye.
Aromatherapy can also be helpful for Manipura chakra healing. It can be used while
meditating or doing yoga, or by itself at any time. Citrusy essential oils like orange and
grapefruit are good for healing the solar plexus chakra, as are chamomile, mint and ginger.
Regular yoga practice is ideal for chakra balancing. Asanas that focus on core strength are
perfect for Manipura healing. Warrior Pose is the easiest yoga asana for opening Manipura.
Holding it for a few minutes every morning will begin to open your solar plexus. Other
helpful asanas are Boat Pose (Navasana), which strengthens the core, and Sun Salutations
(Surya Namaskar). Engaging in structured risk-taking during your yoga practice, like doing a
challenging pose or gently pushing yourself a bit more, can also help balance Manipura.
Finally, since the solar plexus chakra is associated with the sun and fire, simply getting
outside can help. Meditating or doing yoga outdoors on sunny days will maximize your
healing practice, but simply going outside for a walk or doing a little sunbathing will help
open your solar plexus chakra.
The heart chakra, or Anahata in its original Sanskrit name, colors our life with compassion,
love, and beauty. Driven by the principles of transformation and integration, the fourth
energy center is said to bridge earthly and spiritual aspirations. Explore what makes the
essence of this chakra and how to unravel its powerful energy to enrich your life.
Location: In the center of the chest (the energy center is not located where our actual heart
organ lies; rather, the heart chakra is in the center of the chest area); it is the 4th chakra
counting from the bottom of the spine in the traditional 7 chakra system.
Color: Green (higher energy frequencies can turn to pink)
Symbol: Two intersecting triangles forming a 6-pointed star in a circle with 12 petals
Original name in Sanskrit: Anahata
Element: Air
ADVERTISEMENTS
Additional elements used in modern healing practices to balance the heart chakra are crystals
or gemstones and aromatherapy. If you’re curious, here’s a list of the most common ones
used to activate or balance the fourth chakra:
Heart chakra healing stones: Pink quartz, clear quartz, jade, green calcite
Essential oils: Rose, geranium, neroli, ylang ylang, jasmine, bergamot
Glands or bodily functions: Thymus gland, responsible for hormone production and
important in the regulation of the immune system.
The main meanings or functions associated with the heart chakra are:
When the heart chakra is open, you may feel being deeply connected, the harmonious
exchange of energy with all that is around you, and the appreciation of beauty. However,
when there’s a blockage in the heart chakra, you may experience difficulties in your relating
with others, such as excessive jealousy, codependency, or being closed down, withdrawn.
The fourth chakra is related to the element of air. As such, its energy is associated to the
breath and its movements, as well as the idea of spaciousness and connection with all things.
Even though most of us think about the pink color when thinking about the heart, this chakra
is traditionally associated with the color green. The auric color of an active fourth chakra can
also be seen as a pink or smoky pink, hence our popular representation of love as a pink
heart.
Chakra Location: The Chest
The most commonly accepted location for the fourth chakra is at the center of the chest,
between the breasts. It’s slightly to the left of the actual organ of the heart. That’s why it’s
often referred to as the “heart chakra”.
As the fourth energy center, it’s important to remember that it is multidimensional and is
energetically represented with a front going through the center of the chest, and a back going
through the spine between the shoulder blades.
Because of its location, the heart chakra is associated to the cardiac system and the
lungs. These organs are interdependent and rely on air and breathing to function properly.
The gland associated with the heart chakra is the thymus, which is in charge of regulating the
immune system.
Chakra Symbol
The intersecting triangles represent the air element and its all-encompassing quality. They
also symbolize the union of seemingly opposite principles or types of energies, such as male
and female, spirit and matter. The star that they form evokes the harmonious joining of forces
and highlights the function of the heart chakra as a center of integration and connection. The
twelve petals are often depicted with the color red.
Heart chakra
Anahata
Hritpankaja
Dbadasjadala
Chakra 4
The most common Sanskrit name for the heart chakra is “Anahata“, which means
“unstruck.”
Capacity to love
Integration, bridge between earthly and spiritual aspirations
Transcending personal identity and limitations of the ego
Experience of unconditional love and connection with all
Heart-centered discernment
Appreciation of beauty in all things
Experiencing deep and meaningful relationships
The fourth chakra connects the lower and upper chakras. In other words, the heart chakra
acts as a center of integration of earthly matters and higher aspirations. Far from seeing these
energies as separate, the experience of the heart integrates them effortlessly and
harmoniously.
The Heart chakra is all about connecting and relating. The emphasis here is on love, giving
and receiving, and how open we are in relationships. Love is the energy that helps
transfigure emotions and experiences. It’s an essential element in any relationship, whether
it’s is with others or oneself.
Love experienced through the fourth chakra is not just about romance, but about going
beyond the limitations of the ego and personal preoccupations to open up more fully to
compassion and acceptance of all that is, as it is. When we live from our heart and our heart
energy is opened and balanced, we can see clearly and position ourselves in any situation, no
matter how challenging it is, with discernment and compassion.
The heart chakra is also a center through which we experience beauty in life. Seeing the
world through a balanced fourth chakra is being in a state of openness and acceptance that
brings us in touch with our world and ourselves in profound and fulfilling ways.
