Vitality and Balance: 10 things about your Chakra System
Take care of yourself! We all say it to our clients, but how many of us do it? Making yourself a priority can feel selfish or cause a bad case of guilt. But consider this: you can invest in yourself from a place of wellness and self-love or spend money and time on the path of physical and emotional recovery. Either way you will be using energy. Choosing wellness and self-love shifts us from a position of victim, which leads to energy loss, to the position of empowerment, which leads to energy gain. Since the Chakra System reflects our emotional reality, self-love automatically opens the chakra and allows it to metabolize the abundant energy from the universal field that constantly surrounds us.
The word chakra, from ancient Sanskrit, means “wheel or circle.” In the energy anatomy of our bodies, there are an estimated 88,000 of these circles or centers of energy .
Seven of these chakras are widely recognized and have become the focal point of the many mind-body approaches to healing.
1) ROOT Chakra is know by its Sanskrit name: Muladhara, which means “foundation or support” It is located at the base of the spine. This center governs the physical body and connects us to earth. The energy of this chakra is the foundation of our mental and emotional health. Spending quiet time out in nature is a wonderful way to enhance the flow of the base chakra and our connection to mother earth.
