What Are Chakras?
All living things has chakras system known as "Energy Centers" or "Energy Vortexes".
Everything all around us is energy operating on it's own frequency or vibration this includes our bodies, thoughts, actions, emotions and even our mind. The Chakras are energy centers located throughout our bodies. We cannot see energy but we all sure can feel it. When you enter into a room, you can feel the energy within the space, and this energy can feel uplifting or it can be deflating. Let's talk about the term "Chakra" and what it means, "Chakra" means "Wheel". We have energy centers known as wheels that are in our bodies and we often hear about seven main Chakras that create energy life force and are each associated with a color and energy. These energy centers can become blocked and when blocked may cause psychological, physical and emotional problems. When these energy centers are unblocked it can result in happiness and better health.
The Chakra system has been used for thousands of years prior to the official invention of physical medicine. Our Chakras are linked to our nervous system, it is important to know that we are more than our physical bodies. Each of the Chakras has it's unique shape, color, name and location within the body. If you are drawn to a certain color on any given day, chances are you intuitively know there may be a need for balancing of that chakra and or unblocking. Our bodies are in constant communication with the mind. There are several other symptoms that can help you identify if you chakra is closed and or needs balancing.
There are a total of one hundred-fourteen chakras throughout the body and we most frequently hear about seven. The seven chakras are aligned down the center of our bodies starting from the base of our spine and ending at the top of our head.
In the photo pictured, you can see the seven main chakras and the location and color.

MYTHS ABOUT CHAKRAS
Getting down to the truth about chakras and debunking the myths associated with the chakras due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of the energy body.
They do not really exist; however this could not be further from the truth. Our energy bodies are impacted in a variety of ways, physically and emotionally when our chakras are closed or out of balance. One open or unblocked, you will be able to identify a difference.
There are only seven chakras. As stated previously we have over one hundred-fourteen chakras throughout our body.
Having an open chakra is better than a balanced chakra. It is important to have balance and this rule does not differ when it comes to our chakras.
Healing our chakras is quick and easy. This could not be further from the truth. Depending on the levels of Trauma and different experiences, this could take several sessions. I typically work with my clients for a total of seven sessions.
No one has control over their chakras. Everyone has the ability to open and balance their chakras through a variety of methods mentioned here.
Professional healers can open your chakras in one session. This could take up to several sessions.
Only the spiritual chakras matter. All of our chakras have different functions and different purpose. Each chakra is connected to various organs and all serve an important purpose in helping us to function.
Healing can only happen if you are affiliated with a specific religion. There are plenty of people who are spiritual and not necessary religious who experience healing and balancing of their chakras. This is false. The chakras are associated with our energy body. Everyone has a physical body and we are all made up of energy.
Chakra healing is a form of dark or demonic ritual. Charka healing has nothing to do with any type of demonic rituals. This could not be further from the truth. Healing your chakras helps you with awareness and consciousness because you are infusing light into all three areas, mind, body and spirit.
* It is important to be patient with yourself if you are working on healing your chakras.
NONE OF THE MYTHS ARE TRUE.
It is important to note that our spiritual Chakras help us focus on our connection to the Divine and our Higher self. The lower Chakras are our physical Chakras and ground us as humans on Earth. While there are plenty of other myths out there centered around the Chakras they are simply "myths" untruths.
GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ENERGY
Start with the following exercise:
Hands: put your hands in a clapping position as if you have just clapped and rub them together, moving up and down as you feel the warmth of your hands you are activating the chakras in your hands.
Hold your hands about about one inch apart with palm of hands facing each other. Notice if you can feel the energy coming from your hands. Then proceed to slowly move your hands, stretching them further apart. Do this until you can no longer feel the energy. I like to do this exercise and imagine I have a ball of energy between my hands ( because this is exactly what it is ) and I work with the ball. This will take a bit of practice and it's an excellent way to get started with having the awareness of our own energy. You can also feel the major chakras by placing your hands in the area of your forehead or heart chakra, as you are taking in deep breath through your nose and slowly exhaling, you are also able to feel the energy of the chakra. This may take a bit of practice and will become much easier to feel with more practice.
HEALING YOUR CHAKRAS
If one chakra is out of balance it can have an effect on the other chakras too.
It does take time to heal multiple chakras and can be done. It usually takes several sessions.
Yoga, Meditation, Crystals, Breathwork, Visualizations, Essential Oils, Reiki, or an Energy Practitioner can help with healing of the chakras.
Sound Healing
The musical notes reverberate in your eardrum and allows you to hear the notes. The frequency of music helps to heal our bodies, open and balance our chakras. There are a variety of "Hertz" also known as "Hz" in which we can listen to music to help bring calm to us. Below are the various frequency or Hz in which you can listen to to help tune your body. You may desire a combination of music with other healing modalities.
