What are chakras?
Chakras are energy points within our body.
Let's just get right into this.
Here are the 7 main chakras.
There are 6 inside us, and 1 that is slightly outside of us.
TOP / BOTTOM - (Think in Terms of)
Crown - Serenity
Brow - Clarity
Throat - Truth
Heart - Love
Solar Plexus - Self Worth
Sacral - Manifest
Root - Belong
There are many ways these are explained. But I will share with you my perception and what I have gathered from it all through my own experience. We seem to have these points in our body where energy gets stored in us. Through awareness and observation of this, I have noticed there does seem to be something to this, when I close my eyes and focus on key areas of my body.
Over time, I have even picked up and sensed where energy tends to get stuck, causing different layers of self-sabotage. This was horrifying to me when I first discovered this. I remember thinking to myself:
"Great, how the heck am I supposed to fix this?! Uff!!!"
Observations in Layers
BOTTOM / TOP
Root Chakra - Belong
The Root Chakra is the first chakra and is located at the base of our spine.
Visualize this chakra as the color red.
This is the energy source that helps keep us grounded. When we feel a sense of belonging in this world, that chakras wheel will spin. This helps with getting out of the vortexes of self-doubt, and even thoughts or heavy thoughts of depression. It gives us upward momentum in life, as feeling a sense of belonging to this world is crucial for us all.
How do I know if my Root Chakra wheel is spinning?
Ok, we are all adults here. If we are walking around with a tight sphincter (that's our butt hole muscles) and holding in tension all day, odds are that are root chakra needs some work. There are some underlying issues we need to work on in our lives.
Why do we not feel like we belong? In what areas of our lives do we feel this? These are Very important questions we need ask ourselves, and journal, in order to find clues to help us identify the issue.
- Because when we clench our butt cheeks, we add pressure to our nervous system.
- When we have a tense nervous system, it then affects our thoughts.
- When our thoughts are affected, it affects our mind.
- When it affects our mind, it affects what we see and hear.
- When what we see and hear is affected, then our worldviews are affected.
- Then it loops back through, creating this vicious cycle of delusion.
So, let's visualize pulling that metaphorical stick out of our butt, stick it in the freezer, and call it a Poopsicle. If the world doesn't like it, they can eat our poopsicle for dessert. Because we belong here, and we need to change our worldviews in order to truly live.
Sacral Chakra - Manifest
The Sacral Chakra is the second chakra and is located about 3 inches (7.62 cm) below the naval. Visualize this chakra as the color orange.
This is an interesting chakra. If we keep it balanced, it seems to be a very healthy energy source for our sexuality. Sex is a HUGE driving force for us, and brings on manifestations of its own. As it is our nature to attract a mate in life.
Observations and things to be aware of
When our energy gets stuck in this chakra, it warps our perceptions and reality. Alcohol and narcotics (mainly uppers), seems to trap energy in their Sacral Chakra. It may sound fun, until you do the walk of shame in the morning. If this energy gets trapped for too long in this chakra it starts to add perversion within the mind. This over time creates its own kind karma.
How do I know that my Sacral Chakra wheel is spinning?
The Sacral Chakra is tied to the emotional body, creativity, and sensuality. The energy is characterized as flexibility and flow. Build up periods of "dry spells", and you will notice more focus and concentration as you build and create, while putting more emotion and passion into your work. It is also seeming to create more of a bond with people around, and strengthen our relationships. There is a balance within this.
Solar Plexus Chakra - Self Worth
The Solar Plexus Chakra is the third chakra, and is located in the abdomen above the navel, where your diaphragm rests. It is also known as the power chakra.
Visualize this chakra as the color yellow.
[Think in terms of the sun]
When the solar plexus chakra is balanced, it gives us a sense of self-worth, while boosting motivation and helping build our self-confidence.
Observations and things to be aware of
When our energy gets stuck in the solar plexus chakra, we may start to notice mood changes. Sometimes we become overpowering in our speech without even realizing it. Emotional nervousness can also present itself. This can loop back in our day-to-day life, creating this constant fear of the unknown. This also seems to regulate our gut, and eating disorders can present themselves.
How do I know that my Solar Plexus Chakra wheel is spinning?
A sense of achievement through willpower, giving an overall well-being feeling.
Some say we have 2 brains in our body.
One in our head, and one in our stomach (our gut).
With that thought in mind, when the wheel of the solar plexus chakra is spinning it helps with our moods of positivity. As it radiates positive energy to our lower chakras, it also brings feelings of love radiating upward to our heart chakra.
Heart Chakra - Love
The Heart Chakra is the fourth chakra, and is located in the channel of the spine, close to the heart.

It is also the chakra that helps induce a natural healing (mind, body, soul), as its projects energy of love and compassion to us, and everything around our energy field. We tend to be in synchronization with everything around us.
Throat Chakra - Truth
The Throat Chakra is the fifth chakra, and is located in the center pit area of the throat, close to the cervical spine.
Visualize this chakra as the color light blue.
[Think in terms of the sky]
The throat chakra helps us with expression and will. It also helps with our ears, as it shifts energy and helps us hear more. The energy loosens our jaw, which helps us speak our truth in a more authentic way.
Observations and things to be aware of
When our energy gets stuck in the Throat Chakra, we may notice hesitation in our speech. Possible tension around the neck area, that creates shallow breath, and breathing problems. This tension can sometimes be felt down the esophagus, and into the upper chest area.
How do I know that my Throat Chakra wheel is spinning?
When the throat chakra is balanced, we tend to speak with ease and with no fear of being judged. In relationships, we are comfortable speaking our truth in an open and healthy way. We seem to just be more authentic and speak with clarity and with ease. This creates good relationships all around our lives.
Brow Chakra - Clarity
The Brow Chakra is the sixth chakra, and is known as the third eye chakra, the Spiritual Eye, Christ Center, and the Seat of Spiritual Awakening. This chakra is located at the point between our eyebrows (slightly above middle point).
Visualize this chakra as the color Indigo (or dark blue / purple)
[Think in terms of the color of a beautiful night sky]
The Brow Chakra is known to be where our sixth sense, and our sense of intuition comes from. This is where we draw inspiration from, through awareness.
Observations and things to be aware of
When our energy gets stuck in the brow chakra, it can create an overactive imagination, and super active intuition. This can cause problems in the mouth, jaw, tongue, neck and shoulders, making it difficult to overstand and verbalize our story and visions. It can even create sleep disorders, so just be aware.
How do I know that my Brow Chakra wheel is spinning?
When the brow chakra is balanced, we fall off of dualistic thinking of the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. We come to rest our thoughts in the center, with both hemispheres working together. There is a saying, "what wires together, fires together.""
We may get flashes of inspiration and / or intuition. This is our true north star. When tapped into, this gives us clarity in our journey. We tend to be happy and in tune with life. That gives us our spark of light and a sense of joy in our life.
Tip
Chanting AUM or OM, will help unlock the Brow Chakra.
Feel the vibrations travel up your spine, as this will help unblock stuck energy traveling upwards. Feel it travel throughout your entire mind.
Crown Chakra - Serenity
The Crown Chakra is the seventh chakra, and is located in the crown "area" of our head. The Crown Chakra extends outside our body, and can be felt approximately 4 finger widths outside of us.
Visualize this chakra as the color violet.
[Think in terms of the color of the universe]
The Crown Chakra is known to be where we build an experience, and connect with God and the Universe, Consciousness and the Divine.
Observations and things to be aware of
When our energy gets stuck in the crown chakra, we can become tense and selfish. This can cause depression, through lack of meaning in life, which inflates a sense of joy from within.
On the other end of the spectrum (or pendulum), we can become overactive and develop obsessive thoughts of the past and the future. We can begin obsessing over spirituality, and neglecting our day-to-day duties and routines.
How do I know that my Crown Chakra wheel is spinning?
Oh, You Will Know!
When the crown chakra is balanced, we connect with the source. There is a calmness that overcomes us. When we tune into this source, this is where downloads seem to come from. These downloads can set us on new paths in life.
Some of the other really cool things about opening up this chakra wheel, and spin freely
It dissolves the illusion of one's self as an individual, and experience pure bliss. This is what the term samadhi represents.
We trust in God, Allah, the Universe, (whatever you call it), and live-in gratitude and peace through our journey in life.
The mask of Maya (delusion) is lifted, and we are able to see the Truth of all the love that surrounds us, as we are pure love. Those who connect to this chakra’s energy source are able to recognize this within all beings.
