Your seven main chakras are essential for your spiritual, mental, and even physical health. The chakras are responsible for managing the vital life force energy, both taking in this prana, or chi, and also exuding it back into your aura.
The seven chakras run along your backbone, from the top of your skull, down to the tailbone. Each of the chakras are also associated with an endocrine gland.
The Root chakra: Associated with the reproductive glands (the testes in men and the ovaries in women)
The Sacral chakra: Associated with the adrenal glands.
Solar Plexus chakra: Associated with the Pancreas.
Heart chakra: Associated with the Thymus gland.
Throat chakra: Associated with the Thyroid gland.
Third Eye chakra: Associated with the Pituitary gland.
Crown chakra: Associated with the Pineal gland.
By regulating and balancing the energy which flows into your body, revitalizes every aspect of your being. There are several methods to balance and energize the chakras, including diet, color therapy, essential oils and flower essences, and most importantly, healing sound.
You may be experiencing a blocked or unbalanced chakra, if you are experiencing uncomfortable emotions, disturbed sleep, an increase in addictive behavior, brain fog, an inability to concentrate, an inability to speak up for yourself, etc.
Too much energy running through a chakra, can be almost as bad as too little energy running through a chakra. The goal is to balance all of your chakras, with a near equal energy through all of them. The secret to a good life, is balance in all things!
