What are chakras and how do they affect our lives? The location and colors of the chakras on the human body and their purpose.

Our life force is concentrated in the chakras. The chakras of men and women have different locations. To have strong and healthy energy, it is important to know how to develop and open your chakras.

Throughout the day we exchange information flows with the world. In addition to the well-known nervous system, which is responsible for physical processes, in the body of each of us there is an invisible subtle concept that controls our emotions, spiritual essence, and intellect. It consists of channels through which we receive energy flows, and of centers where the received energy is processed. These centers are called chakras.

Problems that cause disruption of a physical nature, mental exhaustion or emotional plane are nothing more than a consequence of an imbalance or blockage of one, and sometimes several chakras.

Chakras are aspects of our consciousness, similar to the biofield. There are an abundance of different chakras in our body, but there are only 8 main ones. They are directly related to the senses, as well as gemstones and karma.

Where are the chakras located in men and women?

It is known that men and women have different chakra energies; they complement each other. Energy flows in representatives of the stronger and weaker sex move differently. For men - to the left, and for women - to the right. Some chakras are most important for women, others for men.

The chakras of both sexes are located in almost the same places, but there are slight differences, usually by a few centimeters. The chakras function and nourish the energy of men and women differently.

How to open and clear your chakras yourself

Opening the chakras leads to a happy and fulfilling life, gaining inner harmony and strengthening the connection with the Higher Powers. You can open them yourself at home, and it does not require long meditative practice. You don’t need to spend several years training, just wear plain clothes that symbolize the color of the chakras. The following methods will help you open your chakras and set yourself on the path to spiritual enlightenment.

Meditation and positive thoughts are a great way to cleanse your chakras. Spend 10 to 12 minutes a day to fill your body with positive energy and relax your body from stagnant tension. Yoga classes are also great.

First chakra Muladhara

The chakra is located under the lower back, in the tailbone area. In men, the base of the spine. In women - near the ovaries. The chakra is responsible for maintaining life, physical health and personality development. Muladhara patronizes men. Disruption of the chakra leads to loss of strength, irritability, loss of meaning and failure. You can find out how to deal with negative energy effects by following the link.

Muladhara is the first chakra that is not difficult to open. It is enough to press on the point where it is located in the body. At the same time, you should let go of your thoughts and concentrate your attention on your breathing. Red clothing is suitable for such meditation: this color is responsible for the aura of the chakra. It is better to open this chakra second in a row.

Second chakra of Svadhisthana

Svadhisthana is located in the lower abdomen. In women it is located just below the navel, and in men it is at the level of the navel. This is predominantly a female chakra, which is characterized by tenderness. Responsible for sex life, feelings, pleasures, joys. Malfunction of the chakra is characterized by depression, jealousy of the opposite sex, discord in relationships, and lack of self-confidence. This chakra can be opened first.

The second chakra should be opened in a relaxed state, you don’t even have to get up from the couch. Breathe deeply and calmly through your nose. The color of the chakra is orange. Mentally concentrate on the location of the chakra. You can include a mantra that will help open the chakra more quickly. In addition, the chakra begins to act when you come into contact with beauty or engage in physical activity.

Third Chakra of Manipura

The chakra is located in the solar plexus. For representatives of the fair sex it is located above the navel, for representatives of the stronger sex - under the stomach. Manipura belongs to the male chakras. If this chakra is open, then it attracts success, willpower, and determination. When this chakra is polluted, a person experiences anger, greed, and is prone to betrayal and deception.

To open it, you need to stand in a comfortable position, place your hands on your chest, and press the chakra as you exhale. Manipura symbolizes the color yellow, so choose clothes of this color. You need to continue the ritual for five minutes, and then stand in silence for a while to consolidate the result of opening the chakra.

Fourth chakra Anahata

The chakra is located in the heart area. In men, it is located in the middle of the chest. For women, it is closer to the heart. Anahata is an important chakra for the fairer sex. It must be disclosed. Attracts love, mercy, creates both internal harmony and harmony in relationships. If you are haunted by non-reciprocal feelings, rapid fading of love for your partner, problems in relationships, this indicates that the chakra is clogged or closed.

When opening the fourth chakra, you need to concentrate on loving a loved one, parent or pet. It is better to perform the ritual while sitting, without unnecessary movements and negative thoughts. Place your hand in the heart area and do not remove it for four minutes while you open the chakra. Clothes must be turquoise. Surrender to the feeling of love coming from your heart. It is best to meditate at night.

Fifth chakra Vishuddha

Vishuddha is located in the neck area. In women it is located near the throat, in men it is at the base of the throat. According to tradition, this is the male chakra, responsible for success, talent development, self-love, creativity and freedom. If Vishuddha is blocked, this leads to disastrous consequences associated with self-expression: indecision, complexes, and alienation appear.

Take a comfortable position while opening Vishuddha. You need to wear plain blue clothes. Be sure to include a mantra that helps open this chakra, and listen to the words, preferably pronouncing them. In addition, the chakra opens when you sing, read aloud, or play a musical instrument.

Sixth chakra Ajna

The sixth chakra is located in the head area. Ajna is energetically useful for women, otherwise it is called the “third eye”. In men it is at the level of the eyebrows. Responsible for intuition, reason, clairvoyance. When the chakra is blocked, migraines, stiffness, and clouded thoughts are formed.

It is better to activate the sixth chakra in nature, near bodies of water or under moonlight, in the lotus position. It is necessary to take several deep breaths and exhalations. The energetically strong color for the chakra is purple. This chakra needs to be opened for 25 minutes, staying in one position and monitoring your breathing.

Seventh chakra Sahasrara

Sahasrara is located near the crown. For women - just above the crown, for men - in the crown area. The chakra has more power for men, but women also need it. Responsible for saturation with spirituality, knowledge of the Universe. If the magic chakra is clogged, apathy occurs, excessive solitude leads to loneliness, and the desire for life disappears.

This chakra should be opened after you have already opened all the previous ones. Concentrate on breathing, raise your arms above your head, placing your palms together, while sitting in the lotus position. The color that symbolizes Sahasrara is dark purple, but all shades of purple are suitable when choosing clothes. In addition to meditation, the chakra opens if you philosophize, read a lot, know how to trust your intuition, and listen to wise people.

Eighth chakra Aura

The chakra is located around us: it is a clot of energy that some people are able to see. Responsible for mood, optimism,... If the aura is clogged, uncertainty, timidity, fear, anxiety, negative experiences, and energy depletion appear.

Human energy centers and their opening are very important for human energetic health. Because it directly affects physical health, as well as spiritual development, social life and almost all areas of human life.

We will briefly tell you about each chakra and teach you the basic practices and techniques that allow you to open them.

Human chakras - description and meaning

The first chakra is Muladhara

Teaches you to survive. She is responsible for all the primordial instincts: to procreate, to protect herself, to eat, to get dressed. You need to develop muladhara in order to be able to connect with the earth, to feel which places give you energy and which take it away. A sign of imbalance in this chakra is a constant feeling of danger. Fear of being hungry, homeless, etc.

People with unbalanced muladhara stock up on food for several months in advance, are obsessed with safety, buy the most expensive alarm systems, but at the same time save to the point of absurdity. Careful work with consciousness, prayers and prayers is necessary to calm fear and put the first chakra in order

Second chakra - Svadhishthana

Teaches pleasure. It is she who is responsible for attractiveness, the desire to please the opposite sex, the need for emotions. And if muladhara teaches you to survive, then svadhishthana helps you do it with pleasure.

If there is no balance in the second chakra, a person strives to receive more and more intense sensations that will destroy him. He is insatiable with emotions. This is the case when instead of love - lust, instead of gourmet - gluttony, instead of active recreation - a constant search for thrills and adrenaline addiction.

To be saved and to discover svadhisthana, one must learn to control pleasures, immerse oneself in them and enjoy them completely in order to gain satisfaction. The inability to enjoy leads to a destructive dependence on new sensations.

To open and balance this energy center, you must first recognize the problem and then begin meditation.

Third chakra - Manipura

Gives strength. Gives birth to conviction and principles. Responsible for the ability to influence others, make decisions, be able to refuse or agree in the right situation. Self-control, discipline, ability to accept limits and follow rules. Firmness and achievements - manipura is responsible for all this.

Opening the chakras in this case is necessary in order to be protected from aggressiveness, to have developed will and self-control.

If the chakra is unbalanced, you use your power too much or, on the contrary, are very weak-willed. In the first case, you are dependent on victories; you constantly need to assert yourself using aggressive methods. In the second, you constantly feel guilty, do not know how to refuse, ingratiate yourself and adapt to those around you.

Opening manipura is necessary to achieve balance and fulfillment in life.

Fourth chakra - Anahata

Asks to love. Responsible for the feeling of unity with the world, the ability to love, while controlling the mind. If the chakra is open and balanced, you will always achieve your goals and find material and spiritual balance.

Anahata is unbalanced in sentimental people, whose hearts are easily broken. There is also a problem with anahata if a person strives only to give or only to receive in love. Or when anyone is a need for him, when a person looks for love in others, forgetting that he should be its source.

Remember that even if 100 people tell you that they love you, you will not be satisfied if there is no love within you.

Chakra meditations are also used to work through anahata. But this is not the only way. You need to start with the ability to love yourself, to receive and give love equally.

Fifth chakra - Vishuddha

He says: create. Teaches creativity, reveals the potential of the individual. Moreover, creativity in this context is not artistic, musical and other abilities. This means love for work, the ability to bring something new to it, to make a discovery. Even if you are a driver.

A well-opened and developed Vishuddha allows you to tell the world about your “I” and express yourself. But this cannot be done if a person does not realize and recognize his own uniqueness.

If the fifth chakra is not opened enough, stagnation of energy occurs. This is very detrimental to the potential of the individual. A person becomes anxious, nervous, uncontrollable, and wastes energy. This is the case when you agree with your mother who sends you to study as an engineer when you wanted to become a psychologist. You indulge the desires of others who control you, and not your own (with regard to purpose, profession).

If you open Vishuddhi, inspiration will appear, you will begin to have a feeling of insight, you learn to benefit the world around you and you can express yourself in anything. Lots of thoughts, ideas - all you have to do is grab onto one thing.

Sixth chakra - Ajna

Shows that magic exists. Responsible for creativity, the ability to see God, the presence of spiritual will. Developed ajna in a person helps him never agree with gray reality.

If the sixth chakra is unbalanced, a person has a desire to dream, to go into the world of dreams in order to reach the heights in his own virtual reality. In this case, a person stops paying attention to the material world.

The task of opening the sixth chakra is to discipline the spiritual will, to teach one to realize oneself in the material world, and not just dream of success in one’s own consciousness. With a good opening of ajna, a person is able to control reality, desire and achieve what he wants, and knows how to direct creative energy in the right direction.

Seventh chakra - Sahasrara

This is pure spirituality. The embodiment of cosmic energy. The balance of the seventh chakra and its opening allows you to always hear God within yourself. Thanks to this, a person always has a pure source of correct answers. He sees his true path.

An imbalance of the seventh chakra is detrimental to a person’s mind and can even lead to a psychiatric hospital.

Meditation on opening the chakras is useless in this case: in order to balance and open the sahasrara completely, it is necessary to first achieve a balance of all other human energy centers.

Why do you need to open the chakras?

In total, a person has 7 main energy centers. Their schematic location is shown in the figure.

To understand what it takes to open the chakras, you need to know the purpose of each energy center. Let's briefly talk about the meaning of each of them, and when disclosure is necessary.

How to open them?

Deep work with energy centers is possible only under the guidance of a competent and experienced esoteric specialist. Because there are practices that can be quite dangerous if used incorrectly.

Video about human energy centers and how to open them:

https://youtu.be/ENUF0RXCxTY

But there are also simple techniques that will help to reveal the spell a little without harming a person’s energy shell. Let's list them:

1. Meditative techniques: for example, meditative music, which opens the centers and lifts the mood, coupled with reading mantras can perfectly open the necessary energy centers
2. Strengthening and realizing aspirations. It is necessary to clearly define your goals: which energy center needs to be revealed, why you need it, and what you want to get in the end. Set high goals. As soon as you do this, the chakras will automatically “join” the process of opening
3. Implementation of the principles of a specific chakra. For example, if the principle of anahata is love, cultivate this quality in yourself. Start with self-love, learn to receive and give love, fill your life with it
4. Self-hypnosis. A powerful esoteric technique that helps to “ignite” the power of a specific chakra, strengthening it. To do this, you need to mentally “take” the flow of energy, imagining it in the form of a large fireball. Then, also mentally, direct this ball to the desired energy center, as if pumping it up
5. And the last way is to unblock and cleanse energy centers. Conducted under the guidance of an experienced mentor or spiritual healer

These are the simplest methods that are available to everyone. You can practice them on your own.

Figure 1. Human chakras their meaning, opening, cleansing and location

Have you ever thought about what human chakras are, why they are needed, where they are and how to clean them? Let's understand it in simple terms.

I think that the article should begin with the question of whether human chakras exist? After all, we don’t see them and most people don’t feel them. So, there is reason to believe that they do not exist?

Definitely not. There are a lot of things in the world that a person, unfortunately (although no, this would be more suitable for happiness) does not see or feel. These include not only some mystical things, but even simple radio waves, the existence of which no one denies today.

If we go back 500 years and talk about today’s technologies, it would most likely shock people. Some would call you crazy, others would simply not believe you. For example, let's take a telephone. Today we can talk on the phone and don’t even think about how it happens. But before this was something impossible. How? How can you conduct a dialogue over two handsets at any distance?

For some people, the human chakras represent something like a telephone for our distant ancestors. I hope that the time will come and people will realize that chakras actually exist. We may not see them, but this does not mean that they are not there.

Each of us has our own energy. And no one knows your energy better than you yourself. We cannot say unequivocally: “chakras actually exist,” however, this term defines the internal sensations of many people who have been involved in spiritual development. Chakras exist for them. Why would a simple person who is not engaged in spiritual growth deny their existence?

What are chakras?

Chakras are human psychoenergetic centers, which represent the intersection of channels through which human life energy flows. They are also called the rotating whirlpools of energy that run along our spine.

As you should already know from the article on human energy, in order to exist and interact with the world around us, we need energy. As mentioned in the above article, one of them is food. It helps us renew tissue and “build” our body. But this is clearly not enough for us. There is an opinion that we get only 20% of the energy for existence from food. Where can I get the remaining 80%?

We will discard some others and immediately say that it is the chakras that help a person absorb the energy necessary for the body from the surrounding world.

Chakras can remind us of a receiver and transmitter of the energy that surrounds us. They work with the electromagnetic field and transform it into energy that fills us with vitality.

We are surrounded by chaos of various energies. Thanks to the chakras, a person gets what he needs from this chaos. The extent to which these chakras are open is how much energy you can receive. In addition to receiving, chakras are also designed to give energy to the energy world around us.

In simpler terms, with the help of chakras a person “eats” energy from the environment and gets rid of unnecessary energy. Unnecessary human energy can be used for other purposes. For example, it is absorbed by animals, plants and objects that have an extremely low vitality coefficient (surrounding objects). In addition, the energy that comes out of one person's chakras can transfer to another.

Understanding how the chakras work can become an indispensable tool for you in understanding your inner world. By understanding the chakra system, you can easily cope with the problems that arise in your life.

Human chakras and their meaning

Do we even need them? What is the meaning of human chakras? Let's start with the fact that if a person's chakras stopped working at the same time, he would die. After all, human chakras are energy centers, and their meaning is quite obvious. Without energy, a person cannot live.

When one or more chakras are not functioning well, a person feels a lack of something in his life (later we will look at what each chakra is responsible for).

Full and harmonious work of all chakras brings great pleasure to a person in life. Life becomes full, rich and joyful.

Chakras on the human body

Some of you may be wondering, “Are there chakras on my body?” or “Do I have all the chakras?” Definitely - YES. Absolutely everyone has chakras on the human body. The only difference is how they function. Even for a particular person, they can work differently, depending on the period of life.

Some people are lucky enough to see chakras (or this happened due to long training). They describe them as shining vortices in the form of circles that are concentrated at a point on the human body. The faster this vortex works, the more energy it can “process.”

How chakras work

A person has seven chakras in total. Each chakra operates in its own frequency range.

Figure 2. Frequency spectrum. As you can see, the colors of the spectrum correspond to the colors of the chakras

We will not delve into how a person transfers energy and information with the help of chakras, but will only say that this happens with the help of electromagnetic waves. For a more detailed consideration of this issue, you need to turn to one of the sections of physics, namely electromagnetic fields and waves.

As we have already said, chakras can carry both energy and information. The lower chakras (1-3) work mainly with energy, and the upper ones (6 and 7) work more with information. The middle chakras are a kind of balance between energy and information.

As you already know, chakras are designed to both absorb and release energy. It follows from this that they can be in one of these states, but not simultaneously, but alternating.

What are the chakras responsible for?

Each chakra is responsible for its own aspect of life. In one book I came across a good example of this. Imagine that our spine is an elevator, and the chakras on our body are floors. As we rise up from the lowest chakra, we can experience life in a more beautiful way. Agree that the view from the first floor is more boring than from the seventh.

Chakras are responsible for ensuring that your life is filled with energy. And this, in turn, determines the joy, health and well-being in life.

If the work of one of the chakras is limited, you may feel a painful state, loss of strength, and a feeling of discomfort. When all chakras are blocked, physical death can occur.

First chakra Muladhara (root chakra)

Figure 3. First chakra Muladhara.

Color: red. Crystals: ruby, garnet, obsidian. Location: base of the spine.

The first chakra is called Muladhara (sometimes also called the root chakra or lower chakra). It connects the human body with the Earth. The Muladhara chakra is responsible for what a person needs first of all to survive: food, water, warmth, shelter, protection, clothing. Procreation also applies here.

In order for this chakra to be healthy, you need to find a place in nature where you feel good. Some people like mountains, others like flowering gardens, some like large canyons, and others like lakes and forests. There are people who feel good only in the city. In short, you need to communicate with the nature that you like.

If a person cannot provide himself with basic necessities (food, water, shelter, clothing, etc.), then he will immediately feel the influence of the Muladhara chakra. This person simply will not be able to concentrate on anything else. Including he will not be able to engage with other chakras. The solution to this problem is obvious: you need to balance this desire for survival.

Second chakra Svadhisthana (sexual chakra / sacral chakra / sexual chakra)

Figure 4. Second chakra of Svadhisthana.

Color: orange Crystal: carnelian, amber Location: pelvic area

The Swadhisthana chakra is responsible for how satisfied you are in life. If the first chakra is limited to survival, then here you should enjoy some process.

Svadhisthana craves as much pleasure and enjoyment as possible. You can easily get used to this lifestyle: drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, etc. But you should not allow your second chakra to absorb all your energy.

The problem is that at the moment of pleasure you “lose your head.” All you have to do is be aware of every moment of pleasure. If you notice that you are not doing well with the second chakra, but you do nothing, then the search for pleasure in life will never end and will lead nowhere.

There is a simple way to know that the Svadhisthana chakra is not in a balanced state. Pay attention to your attractiveness. If you consider yourself naturally attractive and do not need other methods to improve your appearance, then most likely you are fine with the second chakra. Also, pay attention not to feelings of jealousy and envy. They are signals that Svadhistan is not working properly, and if at the same time your first chakra is not working well, then these feelings will intensify.

Third chakra Manipura (solar plexus)

Figure 5. Third chakra of Manipura.

Color: yellow Crystal: amber, yellow tourmaline, citrine and topaz. Location: solar plexus

The Manipura chakra is responsible for strength and self-confidence, self-control and self-discipline. One of the most important properties of this chakra is the ability to choose. It helps you say “yes” when you agree and “no” when you disagree with something.

Thanks to the good work of this chakra, you will be able not to be influenced by other people and act at your own discretion, which gives us an important thing in life - freedom.

When we talked about the previous two chakras, we found out that for the first it will be enough to simply survive in this world, for the second it will be enough to enjoy, but for the third it is important that a person constantly develops his discipline and self-control.

If a person’s third chakra of Manipur is not balanced, then energy conflicts can often occur in his life, in which he supposedly receives some of his vital energy. Such a person may be called an energy vampire. On the contrary, when we see that a person knows how to concentrate and achieve the desired goal, and then take a break and enjoy the result, then this indicates a developed 3rd chakra.

If a person does not do what he likes in life, then, most likely, you can notice how this person’s Manipur chakra is not working correctly. After all, he submits to the will of another person and does not do what his own heart requires.

Fourth chakra Anahata (heart chakra)

Figure 6. Fourth chakra Anahata.

Color: green. Crystal: aventurine, rose quartz. Location: heart

The fourth chakra, Anahata, is responsible for bringing Love into your life. Awakening love in your heart is one of the most important goals in human life.

The Anahata chakra is the middle chakra on the human body, which separates the three lower chakras from the three upper ones. This is the first energy center of a person, which is aimed not at personal energy, but at an attempt to erase the line between people in the world and feel the unity of nature.

The heart is the place that connects your ego and your spiritual life. In addition, according to some assumptions, this is also the place where the human soul lives.

Are you ready to take care of other people without demanding anything from them in return? If yes, then most likely you understand what love is.

If you sometimes have moments when, feeling complete harmony, you begin to do good deeds, then this can be called the first awakening of the fourth chakra of love.

By inducing in yourself a state of harmony, joy, and love for others, you thereby attract more and more people in whom you induce similar states.

If the fourth chakra is unbalanced, then it will be difficult for you to refuse another person and you will begin to indulge the demands of others, which will not always be best for you. You may be haunted by feelings of guilt and shame, which cannot be classified as positive feelings.

To move up a level from the third to the fourth chakra, you will need a lot of time and effort. You will have to develop a love for life and realize that the world is tripled as one.

Fifth chakra Vishuddha (throat chakra)

Figure 7. Fifth chakra Vishuddha.

Color: sky blue Crystal: celestine, aquamarine, chrysoprase Location: neck

The fifth chakra, Vishuddha, is responsible for your creative abilities. Each person has a certain creative gift and talent. However, not all people discover it for themselves and, accordingly, do not take full advantage of it.

A developed and balanced Vishuddha chakra allows a person to behave creatively. Music, drawing, and dancing become accessible thanks to this energy center. When performing creative work, a person feels inspired and joyful from his work.

In addition, a person uses his fifth chakra when solving any problems. Sometimes a solution comes to your mind spontaneously. These moments are called eureka moments.

If the discovery and normal functioning of the fifth center indicates that a person has realized his uniqueness and originality, comprehended his knowledge about the world around him and brought it into his truth, then there is a downside. The imbalance of the center can be noticed when a person deliberately tries to resist the opinions of others. If someone expresses his view on certain things, then such a person will definitely say: “No, you are wrong. I am right.”

Also, a violation of the functioning of the Vishuddha chakra can be indicated by a situation in which a person cannot express his opinion because he believes that it is not correct or is not interesting to anyone.

Sixth chakra Ajna (third eye chakra)

Figure 8. Sixth chakra Ajna.

Color: blue Crystals: fluorite, indigo tourmaline Location: forehead, point above the bridge of the nose

The sixth chakra, Ajna, is responsible for your fantasies and imaginary world. Its awakening occurs when you seek to understand the mysteries of the world and the meaning of life. The Ajna chakra is responsible for bringing inspiration and grace into your life, which will allow you to escape from the reality of everyday life.

To get your sixth chakra in order, you will need creative discipline and spiritual maturity.

Proper functioning of the Ajna chakra brings harmony and pleasure into your life. In addition, this chakra influences a person’s intuition. By trusting her, you will notice that you no longer need to make efforts to accomplish anything you have planned in life. It may seem to you that all situations are adjusted to you and you appear at the right time in the right place. To do this, you will have to go through a difficult and painstaking path of working on yourself.

If you have lost or still have not found the meaning of life, then you should concentrate on the sixth chakra of Ajdna. You can use runes or tarot cards to get answers. You will be given enough opportunities in life. The main thing is that you want to use them yourself.

The “third eye” effect or distortion of reality can be achieved with the help of alcohol and drugs. But this feeling will be false. However, these states show how the sixth chakra works.

Seventh chakra Sahasrara (crown chakra)

Figure 9. Seventh chakra Sahasrara.

Color: Purple or White Crystal: Clear Quartz Location: Top of head

The seventh chakra Sahasrara is responsible for connections with the Divine, the disclosure of spiritual potential, and insight. The author of one of the books about human chakras suggested that people who are now in a psychiatric hospital (not all, of course) have reached this level of consciousness. But they are not connected with the lower chakras, so they can live in their own reality, which differs from ours.

People who have completely passed the path of development from the lower chakras to the upper Sahasrara chakra begin to live under the guidance of God, while drawing energy from an infinite source.

People are not able to fully achieve the level of balance of the sixth chakra. And if it is given, then only to a few. However, sometimes a person may feel the short-term influence of this chakra. After such influence, priorities and outlook on life change.

Living, being aware of and working on the 7th chakra means living with faith and serving God. For most people, giving up the security and most precious things in life is a huge sacrifice. But this is only at first glance so. By reaching the consciousness of the highest chakra, you will receive much more in life than you had before.

Location of chakras on the human body

Figure 10. Location of chakras using the example of a skeleton

Each chakra is a small rotating cone (about 3-5 centimeters in diameter)

Figure 11. The chakra looks like a rotating cone.

Chakra colors

All 7 chakras have a different color that corresponds to the colors of the rainbow (red orange yellow green blue blue purple).

Figure 12. Chakra meditation

Working with chakras can be done through meditation. The main thing to understand here is that a person can experience for a moment the work of any of the seven chakras. But without meditation you will not be able to hold this moment for long. You need to find a strong connection between all the chakras, and working with the chakras in the form of meditation can help with this. Remember that just knowing about the chakras is not enough, they need to be experienced and felt.

The first thing you have to do when working with chakras is to develop the ability to feel them and understand the impact on your life.

To work with the chakras you need peace of mind. This is perhaps the most important requirement to begin to become aware of and move through the chakra system.

Conclusions

Chakras are human energy centers in the form of small cones that supply energy to a person and get rid of unnecessary energy. Chakras are extremely important for humans, because it is through them that we receive the main amount of energy, which in turn we need for existence.

Poor functioning of one of the chakras can lead to diseases and undesirable consequences for a person. Since energy is primary, and the physical body is built in the likeness of the energetic body, various diseases can be treated by restoring the chakras.

Man is a delicately constructed creature. In addition to the daily needs for food and a decent standard of living, he needs to replenish his internal energy. Chakras are invisible centers of energy that are responsible for the balance of mental and physical health. But what if these centers stop working normally? What influences this?

What are human chakras?

From Indian Sanskrit, the word “chakra” is translated as “circle”, “mandala” or “wheel”. It is believed that energy centers look like circles within which energy rotates. Psychics indirectly confirm this version. Many of them see peculiar energy clots in people in the form of vortexes of energy, and they rotate like wheels.

For uninitiated people, subtle structures can be called chakras - conductors of energy from the outside world. They are not visible to the eye, they are not detected by devices, however, they represent a single complex system capable of self-regulation.

Where are the chakras located?

In total, a person has about 120 chakras located in different parts of the body.

Of these, yogis identify 7 main chakras, which are closely interconnected. Each is responsible for its own area of ​​the body. At the bottom of the lower back at the level of the tailbone, the root chakra is responsible for energy, at the level of the navel - the sacral chakra, right above it - the solar plexus chakra. The heart chakra works near the heart, and the cervical chakra works in the area of ​​the thyroid gland. The parietal and frontal chakras “work” on the head.

Some experts add 4 more chakras to this list. They are located in the area of ​​​​the feet and palms, but are not the main ones.

Each chakra has its own color, smell and belongs to its own element (earth, water, fire or air).

What are the chakras responsible for?

1. Peace of mind.
2. Human health.
3. Experiences.
4. Emotions.
5. Fears.

How chakras work: the principle of absorption and emission of energy

The main task of any chakra is to receive for a person the energy that the outside world emits. Energy, entering through the chakras, begins to move through human energy channels and disperses through subtle bodies throughout the body.

The work of the chakras can be compared to the nutrients that enter the body with food and through the circulatory system they are delivered to each cell. In fact, energy is the same food for a person, so his health directly depends on what quality it is.

Where does a person get energy from?

1. From Space.
2. From people close to you (there are donors who give energy, and there are vampires who absorb it).
3. From nature.
4. From objects.

For successful work, the chakras must be open, work harmoniously and harmoniously. Any malfunction in at least one chakra immediately leads to an imbalance in a person’s life: health problems arise, he will begin to get nervous and worry.

If several chakras go astray from normal operation at the same time, real chaos can reign in life and it will be very difficult to correct it.

However, every person, if desired, can learn independently control the work of the internal “wheels” and draw energy in the direction he needs. The main thing is to know the meaning of each chakra and understand: what benefits its work and development, and what spoils and destroys everything.

What chakras are responsible for: the meaning of each human chakra

How to open chakras?

As we have already said, any person can learn to independently organize the work of all their chakras. To do this, you need to learn how to cleanse and open them: the process is not easy, not at all fast, but quite accessible with some diligence.

The following help to open the chakras:

1. Yoga classes.
2. Meditation.
3. Healthy and active lifestyle.
4. Moderation in food.
5. Quitting alcohol and smoking.
6. Physical exercises to train strength and endurance.
7. Breathing exercises.

Only comprehensive measures and constant work on oneself will lead to a person’s chakras opening, and he will learn to fully control himself.

Many spend long months and years on this, achieving harmony through hard work. But as a reward for efforts, a person gains fullness of life, the ability to enjoy even the most insignificant events in life, physical and moral health. Everything is in your hands, health and harmony to you!
