Chakras
What does Chakra mean?
Chakra comes from the Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’.
How many chakras are there?
It is believed there are 7 chakras, spinning discs, or energy centres within our bodies that start at the base of the spine and end at the top of the head. These energetic centres are links to the magical realms that exist both within and outside our physical bodies.

What does each chakra represent?
Each chakra represents or governs various aspects of our lives:
Root Chakra governs financial, mental, physical and stability
Sacral Chakra governs emotions, passion and sensuality
Solar Plexus governs self-worth and confidence
Heart Chakra governs love and relationships
Throat Chakra governs self-expression and communication
Third Eye Chakra governs intuition and imagination
Crown Chakra governs higher consciousness and connection to spirituality
Why or how do chakras get blocked?
Blockages or imbalances can occur due to:
Physical issues as a result of trauma to the body, illness or making unhealthy lifestyle choices such as drinking, smoking or eating unhealthily.
Emotional or mental issues such as unexpressed or repressed emotion, stored emotional trauma as well as heartbreak, anxiety, depression or addiction.
Spiritual issues arise when our true selves are repressed, when we lose connection to ourselves, our purpose and higher consciousness. Blockages can also occur when generational or ancestral wounds are carried into this life.
What happens when a chakra is blocked?
When a chakra is blocked you will experience emotional, mental, or physical symptoms that vary depending on which chakra is blocked or out of alignment.
Why is it important for chakras to be open?
When our chakras are open, energy is able to run smoothly through our bodies which create harmony between our mind, body and spirit. This free-flowing energy will manifest both inwardly and outwardly with improvements in our relationships, the way we feel about ourselves, how grounded we feel and how connected we are to our higher consciousness.
