What are Chakras and why do we have them? Chakra is derived from the Sanskrit which translates to “wheel” or “disk”.
It refers to your spiritual energy center within your body. You have seven chakras along your spine and through your neck and the crown of your head.
Your 7 chakras are the energy centers that correspond to each of your organs including your emotional, psychological, and spiritual states of being. They also influence all areas of your life…
The energy centers make up “the subtle body” which is a separate realm from your physical body but greatly influences the entire system.
Here’s a way to think about it: your Chakras have the ‘prana’ or vital life force within them, it is what others call pure healing energy.
When the prana is allowed to flow smoothly in the “wheel” (chakras), you will have optimal well-being, you will feel blissful and vibrant as your mind, body, and spirit will be in harmony.
Your psychic energy will also be amplified which will allow you to manifest your desires much quicker.
And all areas of your life will flow perfectly.
But, that’s only half the story…
Let me share with you in detail about your 7 Chakras and what areas of your life they control.
1. Root chakra—Mūlādhāra is located at the base of your spine.
This is what connects you to the physical or material world. It controls stability, security, your connection to the earth, survival, abundance, family, and passion.
It also helps you choose whether to fight, step back, or to move forward in life as part of your survival instincts.
Furthermore, it governs your emotional needs of interconnection, a sense of comfort, and belonging. As well as being brave and fearless.
Physically – It’s associated with the lower part of your body, (lower back, lower spine)
The organs it controls are the kidneys and bladder.
Psychological and Physical Symptoms of a Blocked Root Chakra:
Detachment, self-doubts, low self-esteem, feeling rejected, indecisive, depressed, anxious, obsessions, fears.

It is the central chakra where your spirit resides. The vital energy center for your spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.
It governs self- love, compassion, protection, faith, forgiveness, and relationships.
If the heart chakra is blocked, you may feel withdrawn from everything around you.
Your material and spiritual world are cloaked by the heart chakra, and having a blocked heart Chakra will disconnect you from people you love.
You may also lack self-love and, and your love for nature.
Problems in relationships will arise and you will lose sight of everything that is love which includes empathy, and compassion.
5. Throat Chakra: with Sanskrit name vishuddha it is located at the base of the throat

It deeply connects you with your self-expression.
If your throat chakra is blocked, you may experience anxiety, fear, poor coping skills, and the feelings withdrawal.
6. Third-eye Chakra with Sanskrit name ajna it is located above your eyes in the center of your brows
Your third-eye chakra is connected with the mind, your opinions, thoughts, dreams, as well as your intuitive and psychic abilities.
If your third eye chakra is blocked, you will be bombarded with overwhelming thoughts. You will lack a sense of intuition and will be unable to make sound decisions because of poor judgment. You will also suffer from an emotional and intellectual turmoil.
Your perception won’t be clear and you won’t be open to fresh ideas causing you to further drift away from your true destiny.
7. Crown Chakra with Sanskrit name Sahasrara is located on top of your skull
It is associated with God – your belief, spirituality, divine connection, wisdom and enlightenment, as well as your connection to the universe.
