Root Chakra

What is the Chakra?

Chakra is center of the energy. The name is originating from Sanskrit, it literally means “wheel” by association with its function as a vortex of spinning energy interacting with various physiological and neurological systems in the body.

The Chakras are energy centers, within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We have 7 Chakras in our body from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, specific chakra color, and specific functions. The lower chakras are associated with fundamental emotions and needs, for the energy here vibrates at a lower frequency and is therefore denser in nature. The finer energies of the upper chakras corresponds to our higher mental and spiritual aspirations and faculties.The openness and flow of energy through our chakras determines our state of health and balance.

Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it's important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely. You can do this, with yoga, specific meditations, mantras, solfeggio frequencies, affirmations.
