Seven Major Chakras

Seven Major Chakras - Meanings And Descriptions
What is an Energy Center or Chakra?

* Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel and the chakras can be seen to be coloured, circular energy vortices or simply coloured discs. 
* If we were able to see the chakras we would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating.
* Chakras are in different dimensions to our physical selves – they are at higher vibrations. 
* The first thing to notice about the colours of the chakras is that they are the colours of the rainbow – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When these colours of light are combined they make white – the colour of the spirit. 
* Red light has the lowest frequency and violet the highest just as the red chakra is to do with the physical and violet to do with the spiritual.
* Each chakra tends to be primarily related to certain organs, glands, and life issues.
* Each chakra supports physical well-being by providing vitality to the physical body as well as psychological and emotional balance.
* Blocked energy in our 7 Chakras can often lead to illness so it's important to understand what each Chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.
