The word “chakra” is sanskrit for “wheel”.

I reference these energy centers a lot when I support clients with “moving energy” and with intuitive information I receive in a session. These powerful vortexes of energy are amazing at giving us guidance as to what may be happening in our physical bodies.

As I share with clients, if a certain chakra is processing any old issues from the past in a form that is not “complete”, there is a tendency for the energy to become stagnant causing physical pain/tension, illness, discomfort and even dis-ease.

I support clients with getting familiar with what each chakra means so they have a deeper insight to any body related situations that come up. I find that as I share this information with them, it brightens their own “Aha!” moment regarding the current issue at hand or in the past.

Here’s a quick run down the chakra system:

1st Chakra (base of spine - RED color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Family or tribe, survival, career, how we ground and connect to mother earth, money, our homes, etc.
**Physical aspects that can be effected: The colon, legs, feet, base of spine, lower back, hips, knees (any part from the waist down)

2nd Chakra (3 fingers below navel - ORANGE color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Sexuality, Creativity, Relationships and Emotions
**Physical aspects that can be effected: Sexual organs, lower intestines, digestion to a degree

3rd Chakra (solar plexus - YELLOW color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Personal Power, Energy distribution throughout physical body
**Physical aspects that can be effected: Digestive organs (stomach, spleen, liver, gall bladder, large and small intestines, etc.)

4th Chakra (Heart center - GREEN color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Love, Trust, affinity for yourself and others
**Physical aspects that can be effected: Heart, circulation, blood, lungs

5th Chakra (throat - BLUE color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Communication and self expression
**Physical aspects that can be effected: throat area, thyroid, jaw, teeth, gums, tongue; arms and hands (there are energy channels that run down the arms from the throat, we use our arms/hands to express ourselves)

6th Chakra (3rd eye, center of head - INDIGO color)
**Energy that is stored/processed: Psychic ability, imagination, intuition, seeing “truth”
**Physical aspects that can be effected: Eyes, Pituitary Gland

7th Chakra (Crown of head - VIOLET color)

Exercise:

As you read the chakra meanings and how they relate to the areas of the body, check in with yourself.

What areas do you have reoccurring sensations (ex: stomach aches, head aches, etc.)?

As you reference the chakra to the area of your body that has these sensations, along with the meaning, what do you think the message is for you?

For example, I used to have reoccurring digestive issues, stomach aches, indigestion, etc. As I started to practice self healing and learned about the chakras, I realized that I had been “giving my power away” for quite some time and felt powerless often (i.e. stress). After I received this information, I started to feel more empowered because I now had a little more insight as to what was going on. With this knowledge and as I started to gain deeper insight as to what the core issue(s) were, I was able to re-stabilize my digestion and 3rd chakra!

This is what I support my clients with quite often - getting to know themselves on a deeper, more intuitive level so they become more empowered. I do this through the workshops I teach and through Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy.

If you are interested in becoming more empowered around the chakras and also to get some support and deeper insight to create the relief in your body and life that you seek, please connect with me!
