What are Chakras?

For a deeper exploration into the world of chakras, read my book The Ultimate Guide to Chakras.
The genesis of the modern chakra system can be traced back to the Vedas: The most ancient and sacred
Hindu scriptures. The Sanskrit word chakra translates to ‘wheel,’ and these spinning ‘discs’ are where
energy gathers within and adjacent to the physical body. It is through the chakra system that cosmic
energy may travel through us; it is from this system that our Life Force arises.

25/11/22, 10:37 What Are Chakras? - Chakra Meditation for Healing
Maintaining flow and alignment amongst your main chakras is critical to cultivating a sense of overall
health and vitality.
LOGINFor years, I have studied
/ REGISTER SEARCHthe chakra system and the ways in which chakra
imbalances affect the mind, body, and spirit. What I have learned is that feelings of challenge or illness,
whether physical, spiritual, or emotional, can always be traced to particular chakras that are blocked or
in need of healing. I believe that by addressing any blockages you have within your chakras, you make
way for the free flow of Prana: The energy from which life itself arises. This free flow of Life Force energy
will empower you to feel healthier, happier, and more balanced and aligned. From here, the connection
you share with all of life will deepen, and your energy will resonate with the very energy of the Universe.
According to the tantric texts, there are over 100 total chakras in the body – however, there are seven
main chakras that yogis and energy workers tend to focus on in study. In addition to the seven main
chakras, there are two additional ‘anchor’ chakras that connect us with Earth and Spirit, creating a total
of nine chakras, all of which you can read more about below. Each chakra has a unique color
correspondence, a precise location in the physical body, and a group of emotions, behaviors, and
physical experiences that it governs.
1) The Earth Star Chakra (Vasundhara)
The Earth Star Chakra is about twelve to eighteen inches below the soles of your feet and is the
grounding point for the entire chakra system. Usually deep red, brown, or black in color, the Earth Star
Chakra aligns and connects you with powerful energies of the Earth’s magnetic core. It is believed that
this often overlooked chakra is responsible for the precious task of grounding the entire body of
extended chakras. When the Earth Star Chakra is healthy, you will feel more connected to not only your
most authentic self, but to the entire planet and the Universe at large.
When balanced, the Earth Star Chakra nourishes both body and soul with grounding energies and
feelings of safety. In other words, a healthy Earth Star Chakra provides the firm foundation for the soul
to fully express itself and reveal its many hidden truths. When we are grounded and tethered to the
Great Mother, we feel empowered, held, and protected.
Color correspondence: Deep red, brown, and black
Tools for healing and balancing:
Gems & Minerals: Black tourmaline, jet, onyx
Herbs: Ceremonial tobacco, red clover, frankincense
Essential Oils: White ceremonial sage, black peppercorn, myrrh
2) The Root Chakra (Muladhara)
The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine. The Root Chakra resonates with groundedness,
stability, and security and /itREGISTER
LOGIN connects you to the Earth’s crystalline matrix. This is the chakra to focus
SEARCH
on in meditation if you are feeling afraid or unsafe. If you are too stuck in your ways, unwilling to
accept change or transition, your Root Chakra may be overactive. The Root Chakra color
correspondence is red. In the physical body, this chakra influences the male reproductive system,
rectum, elimination, kidneys, adrenals, and the lower spine.
To activate the Root Chakra, try a hip-opening yoga pose or simply close your eyes, drop into a quiet
meditation, and visualize a spinning red disc situated in the Root Chakra position. Working with this
energetic center on a regular basis will improve your sense of deep protection and connection to
Mother Earth.
Color correspondence: Red
Gems & Minerals: Onyx, red jasper, red aventurine
Herbs: Burdock, rosemary, cayenne
Essential Oils: Vetiver, cedarwood, angelica
3) The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
The Sacral Chakra is located in the pelvic area, between the hips. The Sacral Chakra resonates with
sensuality, passion, creativity, emotion, and your relationship to pleasure. This is the chakra to focus on
if you are feeling emotionally rigid, apathetic, creatively blocked, or closed off to intimacy. If you tend to
be hypersexual or become emotionally attached too easily, your Sacral Chakra may be overactive. This
chakra influences the female reproductive system, kidneys, bladder, and large intestine. To activate the
Sacral Chakra, tap into your sacred creativity, and give yourself permission to experience pleasure,
including healthy sexual expression.
You can try a yoga pose such as butterfly or cobra or simply close your eyes, drop into a quiet
meditation, and get in touch with your desire. Working with this energetic center on a regular basis
will arouse your passion, increase intimacy with yourself and others, and invite more pleasure into
your life.
Color correspondence: Orange
Gems & Minerals: Carnelian, imperial topaz, goldstone
Herbs: Fennel, cinnamon, coriander
Essential Oils: Ginger, blood orange, vanilla
4) The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
The Solar Plexus Chakra is located above the belly button – what we refer to as your “core” with regard
to abdominal strength. Its/color
LOGIN correspondence
REGISTER SEARCHis yellow or gold. The Solar Plexus Chakra resonates
with personal power, vitality, courage, self-confidence, and force of will. It is your center of
manifestation. This is the chakra to focus on if you are feeling powerless or timid. And if you tend to be
domineering, bordering on aggressive behavior, your Solar Plexus Chakra may be overactive. Self-
esteem issues often arise here. This chakra influences the liver, upper spine, pancreas, gallbladder,
stomach, small intestine, and helps with metabolism.
To activate the Solar Plexus Chakra, incorporate the light of the Sun and the heat of fire into your
practice. Exercise outward assertiveness and engage your capacity for mental focus. You can try deep
breathing into this chakra, envisioning the light of the Golden Ray flowing into you and through this
energy center in meditation. Working with the Solar Plexus Chakra on a regular basis will give you
more vigor, self-confidence, and empowered discipline.
Color correspondence: Yellow and gold
Gems & Minerals: Citrine, amber, copal
Herbs: Anise, celery, turmeric
Essential Oils: Grapefruit, neroli, tea tree
5) The Heart Chakra (Anahata)
The Heart Chakra is located in the central part of the spine, near the heart itself. Known as the seat of
love, this chakra is the center of your body’s energy system. Its color correspondences are green and
pink. The Heart Chakra powerfully affects your capacity to love and experience feelings of compassion.
This is the chakra to focus on if you are feeling disconnected, cold, or unable to summon compassion
for yourself or others. A healthy Heart Chakra brings calmness and balance and creates a clearer
channel to the truth and light, of Source. And if you tend to smother people with your affection, your
Heart Chakra may be overactive.
Physically, this chakra influences the thymus, heart, and lungs. To activate the Heart Chakra, envision
the Green Ray of light permeating the center of your chest and with each inhale, feel your capacity for
love expanding. Send love to every person, place, and thing that arises in your consciousness. Working
with the Heart Chakra on a regular basis will increase your feelings of generosity, happiness, and
connectedness with all humanity.
Color correspondence: Green and pink
Gems & Minerals: Pink tourmaline, mangano calcite, rose quartz
Herbs: Rose, thyme, parsley
Essential Oils: Jasmine, lavender, bergamot
6) The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
The Throat Chakra is located at the center of the throat. Its color correspondence is true, bright blue.
The Throat Chakra resonates
LOGIN with self-expression
/ REGISTER SEARCH and honest communication. It is the key to
unlocking your inner voice and accessing your ability to speak your truth with conviction and
fearlessness. This energy center of the Blue Ray is your center of honest communication in all things.
This is the chakra to focus on if you are feeling withdrawn or unable to speak from a place of truth. If
you tend to speak too freely and openly, bordering on dictatorial or offensive, or if you tend to be a poor
listener, your Throat Chakra may be overactive. This chakra influences the thyroid, neck, jaw, upper
lungs, mouth, and throat. To activate your Throat Chakra, speak with honesty and conviction, and
listen to others with compassion and love.
The Throat Chakra is the essence of empathy and unshakeable faith – the gateway for your authentic
self to courageously enter the world. It is also a verbal culmination of all other chakras; whether those
chakras are in or out of alignment will emerge in words both spoken and written as well as what is not
spoken or written. Working with the Throat Chakra instills confidence and passion in your speech.
When your Throat Chakra is clear, the intelligence of your mind is balanced with the wisdom of your
heart, and you are free to express your Highest Truth.
Color correspondence: Blue
Gems & Minerals: Amazonite, angelite, turquoise
Herbs: Elderberry, common sage, chamomile
Essential Oils: Eucalyptus, Peru balsam, lemongrass
7) The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)

The Third Eye Chakra is located at the forehead, between the eyes. Its color correspondence is indigo.
The Third Eye Chakra is the key to unlocking your intuition and witnessing spectacularly enhanced
forms of perception. This is the energy center we must activate to fully transcend duality or the
illusion of separation from all of creation. This is the chakra to focus on if you are feeling out of touch
with your instincts. If you tend to overthink ordinary experiences, reading too much into things
without accuracy, or feeling paranoid in any way, your Third Eye Chakra may be overactive. This
chakra influences the pituitary gland, hormones, eyes, and brain. Working with the Third Eye Chakra
instills confidence in your inner and outer vision.
To activate your Third Eye Chakra, begin by silencing your mind, allowing your Higher Self to come
through the space in between. Feel into this chakra, envisioning the indigo light radiating through this
center in meditation. Listen to the messages that come to you. The more you seek, the more you will
find. Working with this energetic center on a regular basis will open your ‘all-seeing eye’ to access
unlimited divine wisdom.
Color correspondence: Indigo
Gems & Minerals: Azurite, lapis lazuli, labradorite
Herbs: Mugwort, mandrake root, blue lotus
Essential Oils: Betel leaf, yarrow, opoponax
8) The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)

This chakra is located at the top of the head. Its color correspondence is purple. The Crown Chakra
resonates with wisdom,

/ REGISTERto the SEARCH
spiritual realms, and attunement with the Universe. This is
the chakra to focus on if you are feeling spiritually disconnected or have lost your faith, especially in
humanity. If you tend to be “in the clouds” all the time, your Crown Chakra may be overactive and you
may need grounding in your lower chakras. This chakra influences the pineal gland, brain stem, spinal
cord, and biological cycles – including sleep. The function of the Crown Chakra is driven solely by the
pursuit of higher states of consciousness. This is the energy center you must activate to go beyond the
personal and immerse yourself completely in the ineffable reality of love, bliss, and pure awareness that
is Source.
To activate your Crown Chakra, compose a prayer or invocation, or choose a mantra that feels resonant
with your energy right now. Ask for help, and call on your spirit guides, angels, or ascended masters.
Ask for their guidance and protection. Spoken affirmations are immersed in the subconscious –
programming and imprinting this connection to Source into your deepest mind, which results in a
shift in consciousness. Elevated consciousness radiates outward in all you do and experience.
Color correspondence: Purple
Gems & Minerals: Amethyst, selenite, lepidolite
Herbs: Gotu kola, pink lotus, St. John’s Wort

Essential Oils: Lavender, palo santo, frangipani
9) The Soul Star Chakra (Sutara)

The Soul Star Chakra or Seat of the Soul sits about six to twelve inches above the Crown. Its color
correspondence is mauve. This chakra is a portal to the higher realms through which very high-
frequency light can enter your etheric field. It is believed that this chakra is the gateway through which
the soul enters at birth to bind with the physical body, and then departs through at death when it
returns to the collective matrix for reseeding. Activation and clearing of the Soul Star Chakra throws a
cosmic doorway wide open through which we can connect with enlightened beings who exist beyond
our physical reality. This is a place of deep comfort and connection. To activate your Soul Star Chakra,
close your eyes and visualize white light pouring down from Source, straight into your Soul Star
Chakra, as it opens and activates.
Then visualize this light flowing over and down into your Crown and Third Eye Chakras, opening the
potent energetic channel from above. Breathe into this space for a few moments as you picture your
personal beam of light growing stronger and clearer, a symbol of strengthened connection. Call in
spirit guides, light beings, or ascended masters you seek. Ask what messages they carry for you and
remain open to receiving them.
Color correspondence: Mauve
Gems & Minerals: Scolecite, optical calcite, rainbow moonstone
Herbs: Anise, basil, davana
Essential Oils: White lotus and gardenia
