Imagine energy flowing through pathways within the body a little like blood flows through arteries and veins. Where these energy pathways cross each other there’s a concentration of power, an energy hot spot. And where many of the energy pathways cross each other there’s a major energy hot spot. The energy pathways are known as Meridians… and the energy hot spots as Chakras. The Chakras are represented by Chakra colors. Chakra balancing can be done by intuitively opening them up (usually by an energy practitioner), removing negative thoughts and restoring them to a state of well being. Some energy practitioners use Chakra stones to help restore balance and remove unfavorable thoughts and actions driven by today’s societal pressures. The designs of the Chakra symbols originate from the lotus flower. There are different kinds of lotus flowers so there are different designs of the Chakra symbols.

The Chakras are the areas of the highest density of energy and therefore the easiest place to exchange energy with the outside world. To those people who can see energy, Chakras may look like spinning balls or wheels of life, hence the name. 

I myself see the colors of the Chakras that are closed or spinning slowly when I touch you while doing Chakra balancing. There are seven major Chakras. The Chakras are numbered from the first Chakra which is the base/root Chakra up to the seventh ending at the crown. The Chakras create a pathway of spinning energy hot spots along the axis of the body.

Chakras go in and out of balance and alignment naturally fluctuating with everyday highs and lows. The little stresses of life, minor illnesses, emotions and even your thoughts can change the equilibrium of the Chakra system. Your energy and therefore your Chakras are influenced by everything you do. When you’re feeling anxious or unwell or not following your path in life, your Chakras may shift way out of alignment and if left untreated take a long time to realign.
