A Little Information About Chakras

As I stated in the last blog, for those of you that are unfamiliar with the chakras, I said that I would write a post about them. This post will be a very simplified explanation of the chakras and what they are, but will give the reader a little overview about them.

Everything is made up of energy including your body. There are thought to be main places in the body where different types of energy commingle and these spots are known as chakras, “spinning wheel” or “vortex” in Sanskrit. There are seven main “spinning wheels”, they are the base chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow chakra, and the crown chakra. They are located along the spine starting at the base and ending at the crown of the head. Chakras incorporate the energy of the spirit, body, and mind. Each chakra is associated with many things such as colors, animals, body functions, emotions, symbols, etc. The body and mind can be considered extensions of the chakras and an unbalanced chakra, which can be caused by stress among other things, can result in disease. Each chakra can be balanced through different techniques like exercise (yoga for example), meditation, chanting, color healing, etc. Balancing keeps us healthy emotionally and physically as well as spiritually.

I posted a link to the Daily Om which is a great source of daily inspirations and articles that are really great to check out. I also added the button for the Etsy team that I am a new member of and that team is called the Boosting Etsy Shops Team!
