What are Chakras?
Chakra:
(shock-rah) the word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit for wheel.
The seven major chakras are energy centres, perceived psychically as
spinning wheels or vortices. Each has its own attributes and function.
Many holistic therapies aim to balance the chakras, and so promote physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual harmony.
1. Root Chakra
(earth): Base of spine
Associated
with survival. Connect to Body and Earth
The right to be here: simply to exist, take care of ourselves,
and have possessions. Affects the adrenal system, the spine, the kidneys
and represents your individual life force and energy.
Fear: Comes when one’s survival is threatened. May force energy
into the upper chakras.
2. Sacral Chakra (water): Lower abdomen
Associated with emotions and sexuality. Unleash, freedom
The right to feel: to express and understand one’s emotions, needs, and wants. Affects the
gonads, reproductive system, influences your sexuality, artistry and creativity.
Guilt: Keeps us from reaching out, hindering emotional and sexual ties with others.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (fire): Solar plexus
Associated with power and will. Deepen
The right to act: to be innovative and free. Affects the nervous system, emotions,
influences your will power issues
Shame: Hinders spontaneity, self-esteem, and personal power, turning one’s
will and power in upon themselves.
4. Heart Chakra (air): Just over the sternum
Associated with love and balance. Clarity and Purity
The right to love and be loved: freedom from projected or received
prejudice, low self-esteem, and violent conflict. Being the central chakra,
if any of the other rights is harmed, the right to love may be harmed
as well. Affects heart, lungs, circulation, thymus gland, influences
your personal love and unconditional love issues.
Joy/Grief: Hinders the love and lightness of the heart, leaving
a heavy burden on one’s persona.
5. Throat Chakra (sound): Throat

family secrets, and not being spoken to honestly. Affects thyroid gland, vocal
and bronchial areas, influences your communication issues.

to ourselves and to the world.
6. Brow (3rd Eye) Chakra (light): Center of forehead, brow
Associated with intuition and imagination. Internal Reflection
The right to see: Transgressions include: being told our perception is inaccurate,
having things deliberately hidden from us, and having the scope of ones vision
denied. Affects pituitary gland, eyes, ears, brain, influences your psychic abilities.
Illusion: Looking at things incorrectly, not seeing the big picture, and seeing
only what one wants to see, can hinder our perception.
7. Crown Chakra (thought): Top of head
Associated with knowledge and understanding. Merge
The right to know: the right to truth, accurate information, knowledge, and to
simply know what’s going on. This includes spiritual knowledge and the
right to connect with and interpret the divine as one chooses. Affects pineal
gland, upper brain, influences your connection with Higher Spiritual aspects
and God.
Attachment: Holding on to the pointless and focusing all of one’s attention
in one area can obscure the big picture and hinder our relationship with the
divine.
