how to activate 7 chakras through meditation

Chakra is a term everyone has heard before. It is something that comes to mind every time we think of meditation or spiritual healing. Human body harbours 7 chakras, located along the spine. Each chakra corresponds to a specific organ or body part as well as emotional pattern. Just like healthy nerve flow to organs is important for organs and body parts, to work properly, same happens to clear energy flow going to corresponding organs and body parts. It is of vast importance for a healthy and balanced body and mind.

Human body is divided in two sections based on chakra functionality features. The upper body chakras hold mental and spiritual faculties, there are 4 chakras laid out through upper body from top of the head to mid spine. Lower body chakras hold instinctual faculties, there are 3 chakras in lower body, from mid spine to end of the spine at the bottom of the torso.

Chakras are like energy batteries charging body with energy from the universe. And for the energy to charge the body successfully, chakras need to remain opened, any potential blocking of them, will have consequences. Only one of them out of alignment will cause an imbalance in the body which will quite quickly show result in dis ease in physical body as well as emotional balance.

As we said each chakra corresponds to its own organ and body part as well as emotional pattern.

7 chakras and Their Meaning


1. The Root Chakra

The Root Chakra or the base chakra is located at the bottom of the spine, being the closes to earth also means the energy is responsible to connect to earthy energy, to ground self and harvest the energy of primal instincts and courage to be able to survive and protect self from surrounding influences. I guess we could say its energy is one of survival and feeling secure.

The root chakra vibrates red, which means it also responds to red sources from outer influences when it needs to be mended or nurtured. Using red gemstones or red clothes can sooth the emotional imbalance deriving from the root chakra.
