Chakras Overview

The Power of Chakras

OM


Chakra translates to "wheel" in Sanskrit, and you can imagine them like wheels of free-flowing positive energy.

The seven chakras are the main energy centers of the body. You've probably heard people talk about "unblocking" their chakras, which refers to the idea that when all of our chakras are open, energy can run through them freely, and harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit.

The seven chakras are:

Root Chakra (Muladhara)

Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana)

Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)

Heart Chakra (Anahata)

Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)

Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna)

Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
