Understanding the Seven Chakras

The chakras are described in yogic traditions as seven energy centres running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each is associated with a theme in daily life.

• Root — stability, safety and belonging
• Sacral — creativity, joy and emotional flow
• Solar Plexus — confidence and personal power
• Heart — love, empathy and forgiveness
• Throat — honest self-expression
• Third Eye — intuition and insight
• Crown — spiritual connection

Many people use meditation, breathwork, sound and crystals to focus their attention on each centre. If you would like personal guidance, you can book a session. This article is for general wellbeing and is not medical advice.
