- Welcome to Reiki with Sally! We’re here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Today, we’re jumping into the world of chakras. These seven energy centres play a crucial role in our physical, mental, and spiritual health.
- Chakras – the 7 main Chakras
- The world of chakras is a fascinating one and understanding how to use them to your advantage can lead you down a great path of abundance. The chakra system originated in India between 1500 and 500 BC. There are seven chakras, each with a unique meaning about our body, life, breath, mind, intellect, and overall sense of well-being.
- What is a Chakra?
- A chakra is an energy centre. In a perfectly healthy person, the chakras work in unison to create life-force energy. The term “chakra” is Sanskrit for “wheel,” referring to the spinning, spherical energy centre that makes up a chakra.
- The 7 Main Chakras
- Here are the seven chakras and their corresponding numbers in order.
- Root Chakra (Muladhara):
- Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
- Heart Chakra (Anahata)
- Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
- Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
- Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
- Each chakra is of unique importance and has its own function for the overall well-being of your body. So, if any become out of sync, it can negatively impact your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

- Chakras – How they may get blocked
- The chakras can get blocked by various factors, such as:
- Stress and trauma: These can cause resistance and knots in the energy flow, resulting in blockages in one or more chakras.
- Lifestyle and habits: These can affect the balance and harmony of the chakras, such as eating unhealthy food, not exercising, or engaging in addictive behaviours.
- Emotions and thoughts: These can influence the vibration and frequency of the chakras, such as anger, fear, guilt, shame, or negativity.
- When the chakras are blocked, they can cause physical, mental, and spiritual problems in different aspects of life. Therefore, it is important to unblock and open them regularly.
