The chakras are the centers in our bodies in which energy flows freely. These centers are connected to all the vital organs and glands in the body and they have different physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual functions.
There are seven main chakras. From top to bottom they are: the Root chakra, the Sacral chakra, the Solar Plexus chakra, the Heart chakra, the Throat chakra, the Brow or Third Eye chakra, and the Crown chakra.
In addition, extra chakras can be found in the physical body and also in the energetic body: the Palm chakras, the Foot chakras and higher dimensional chakras like Stellar Gateway, Soul Star chakra, Causal chakra, Navel chakra, and Earth Star chakra. The higher dimensional chakras are now being reactivated due to Earth’s ascension and frequency rising.
From the lowest to the highest chakra, the order will be the following:
- Earth Star Chakra
- Foot Chakra
- Root Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Navel Chakra
- Palms Chakra
- Solar Plexus Chakra
- Heart Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Crown Chakra
- Causal Chakra
- Soul Star Chakra
- Stellar Gateway Chakra
Every chakra, but especially the primary seven, is related to a specific type of emotional and behavioral pattern. Any illness we might have is an indicator of a chakra imbalance inside ourselves.
Since blocked energy in any of these centers may lead to illness, then understanding their purpose, functions and what can we do to keep them balanced is vital for our development.
There are various techniques that we can use to cleanse the chakras, such as using crystals, colors, visualizations, mantras, Reiki self-healing, in person or distance Reiki healing treatments, affirmations, and different types of meditation.
