Human chakras. their importance and impact on health

At the level of the coccyx is Muladhara. It is believed that its color is red, the element is earth. She is responsible for physical survival, strength, endurance, the ability to defend oneself. The basic needs on this chakra are security, shelter and food. A strong and balanced Muladhara gives perseverance and courage, confidence, pragmatism, diligence. Among the negative manifestations of Muladhara are fear, aggressiveness, indecision, complexes, timidity, nervous tension, irritability, rudeness, greed, lust, cruelty. Physically, the chakra is associated with the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver.

Just below the navel is Svadhisthana (“the abode of the life force”). Its color is orange and its element is water. This chakra is responsible for sexuality, creative self-realization, it gives optimism, emotional balance, sociability. If there is a lack of energy in the chakra, it is oppressed, then this can manifest itself as reduced sexual activity, boredom, despondency, irritability, and resentment. If there is an excess of energy, aggressiveness, sexual hyperactivity can be observed. On the physical level, Svadhisthana is associated with the spleen, liver, pancreas.

Manipura is located in the region of the solar plexus: the color is yellow, the element is fire. It is responsible for the ability to adapt in life, survive in society, process information, as well as for efficiency, activity, confidence, self-esteem, energy, success in business and society, the ability to influence others and lead, to be an authoritative and charismatic person, the ability to to complete the task, to take responsibility. The chakra is associated with the digestive organs and vision.

Heart chakra - center

Anahata is located in the chest area - the heart chakra, its color is green, and the element is air. She is responsible for the ability to love and accept love, to be open to the world and people, to be compassionate, to enjoy life, to respect oneself, to respect others and to show care, the ability to build harmonious relationships. When the chakra is depressed, a person can be overly sensitive, strive to please, feel sorry for themselves and others, experience fears, be depressed and depressed. Anahata is associated with the lungs and the heart. It provides a connection between the upper and lower energy centers.

Upper chakras

Vishuddha is located at the base of the throat, its color is blue. It gives a person self-confidence and self-respect, sociability, the ability to express themselves, eloquence, prudence and self-control, inspiration, the ability to be a mentor, express their thoughts and feelings, convey their thoughts to people, independence of opinion and inner freedom, diplomacy, the ability to follow their own ways to showcase your creative talents. The chakra is associated with the thyroid gland, hearing and vision, the voice depends on it.

Ajna (forehead area) is called the “control center” or “third eye”. Color - blue. From Ajna, the rest of the energy centers are controlled. She is responsible for the mind and intuition, memory, mental abilities, will, knowledge, conscious perception of the world, balance between the hemispheres of the brain, the ability to concentrate, wisdom, peace of mind.

The seventh chakra Sahasrara above the crown (purple color) is responsible for the connection with the divine principle, awareness of oneself as part of a single whole, spirituality. In everyday life, it is little involved and can be revealed, for example, during

The vitality of the human physical body is supported by energy. In addition to the visible and tangible dense, each of the living has an energy body. It is made up of:

  • chakras(energy whirlwinds of a certain localization and frequency);
  • nadi(channels for the movement of the main energy flows);
  • aura(field of energy penetrating and surrounding the physical body).

The word "chakra" is borrowed from Sanskrit, where it means "wheel, circle."

Bioenergetics depicts chakras as continuously rotating discs or funnels formed by the energies of various high frequency vibrations. The direction of movement of energy flows in neighboring chakras is opposite. With ordinary physical vision, they can be seen in Kirlian photographs that capture the electromagnetic field of living organisms.

Energy chakras in the human body

These mobile bundles of energy, like antennas, perform two main functions:

  • capture, hold, transform the energies of the surrounding space and the individual himself;
  • redistribute and radiate the energies of the physical body, spirit, mind and emotions.

In Hindu traditions, these energy formations are depicted as a lotus flower of various colors with an unequal number of petals. In accordance with the frequency of energy vibrations, they are colored in the colors of the rainbow spectrum - from red (first, lower) to purple (seventh, upper chakra).

The first five chakras are associated with the five basic elements:

  • earth (red, muladhara);
  • water (orange, svadhisthana);
  • fire (yellow, manipura);
  • air (green, anahata);
  • ether (blue, vishuddha).

The activity of certain chakras determines the temperament, character, abilities of the individual, the palette of his feelings. Activation of a certain energy center increases the potential of its capabilities, often opening up new, non-traditional abilities - siddhi (Skt.)

Projecting the etheric body onto the physical, we can say that the chakras are located along the spine. They are connected to each other by sushumna - a single energy channel, the projection of which on a dense plane is the spine. Some of the yogic directions claim the connection of the chakras with the endocrine glands and plexuses of nerves. Consequently, the state of these energy vortices directly affects the areas of the brain and spinal cord responsible for the functioning of the endocrine system.

The functioning of each of the seven fundamental chakras determines different aspects of human realization. Their imbalance leads to diseases that eventually manifest themselves on the physical plane. It is known that all the subtle bodies of a person are inextricably linked with the physical.

There is an opinion about the consistent opening of the chakras with age. Based on this,

  • muladhara begins to function from the age of 7;
  • svadhisthana from 14;
  • manipura from 21;
  • anahata from the age of 28.

The trio of lower energy vortices ensures the existence of the physical and etheric body of the individual, feeds his instincts and materialistic aspirations.

The upper ones, starting with vishuddha, have a direct connection with the astral body of a person. The energy frequency of their vibrations coincides with the lower limit of this body.

How do the main chakras of the human body work?

1st chakra: MULADHARA (root chakra)

This (ideally the most powerful) energy vortex is located in the coccyx area, at the base of the spinal column, between the anus and genitals. It is here that the life energy of Kundalini is concentrated. The three most important energy channels originate here - pingala, ida and sushumna.

Muladhara is nourished by the energies of the Earth. Through it, they are redistributed to other energy centers. The Muladhara Chakra is like the base of the human energy skeleton. Directly affects the work of the adrenal glands.

The frequency of energy vibrations of Muladhara coincides with the wave vibrations of red color. The energy of this order "grounds" a person, endows him with a sense of smell, or "scent".

It is here that the energy is concentrated, which gives a person strength for physical activity and the realization of basic natural instincts. A balanced Muladhara allows a person to successfully fight for survival and a "place in the sun": to get food, shelter, ensure their own safety and continue their race.

The natural flow of energies in Muladhara is blocked by fear, anger, despondency and depressive moods. A person with an imbalanced root chakra gives out self-doubt, hoarding and greed, poor adaptability to the environment, weak immunity, disease and destruction of the body. He is intolerant, rude, aggressive and jealous.

Physical work on earth, sports, nature, hatha yoga, meditative practices harmonize Muladhara. A person with an open muladhara is hardy and cheerful, knows how to defend his own interests. Feels the stability, security and sacred connection of the physical body with the Earth.

The bija mantra for this chakra is LAM.

2 chakra: SVADHISTANA (sex chakra)

Literally translated from Sanskrit, the name of this chakra means “own dwelling”. It is localized in the region of the sacrum and pubic bone, just below the navel. The second name is the sexual or sex chakra. The frequency of its vibrations corresponds to the orange color and the element of water.

The state of Svadhisthana determines the vitality, sociability, craving for pleasure, attraction to the opposite sex, sex appeal and sensuality of the individual. Excess energy in this chakra can find an outlet in creativity. In the body, the Svadhishana chakra is associated with the kidneys and the genitourinary system.

As a rule, this chakra is more active in women. Openness and willingness to communicate, sexual attractiveness, emotionality and positivism provide a woman with gender fulfillment and a prosperous family union. A harmonious woman nourishes a man with the energy of this plan.

Emotions of a negative nature block Svadhisthana, often even in adolescence. Later, this leads to diseases of the hormonal and reproductive systems, arthritis. The imbalance of this energy center is manifested in despondency, irritability, hysteria, suspicion, fear of relationships with the opposite sex, lack of compassion, destructive aspirations and poverty.

It harmonizes the sexual chakra with your favorite hobby and everything related to the element of water - swimming, spa, contemplation of waterfalls, and so on. The balance in Svadhisthana is manifested in the fact that a person enjoys his actions to a greater extent than from their result. Talking to him is easy and fun.

The bija mantra of svadhisthana is VAM.

3rd chakra: MANIPURA (solar plexus chakra)

Translated from Sanskrit "precious city". Its vibrations resonate with the color yellow and the element of fire. This chakra is located in the area of ​​the solar plexus, slightly above the navel. The state of Manipura directly affects the small intestine, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, endocrine system and skin of the body.

Here intuition and energy of emotions are concentrated. The work of manipura determines the leadership qualities of the individual, will, mental balance and the ability to self-realization.

The third chakra is blocked by fears, anger, sadness, helplessness, loneliness, which are often rooted in childhood. Energy does not flow to higher centers, and a person is fixated on the material. The imbalance is manifested in a tough and caustic character, greed and hoarding, hostility to the world and deceit. Later, it results in vision problems, allergic manifestations.

Manipura harmonizes the contemplation of the sun and fire, the use of spicy food, karma yoga. If this energy center is open, a person is aware of his destiny and strength, is calm and self-confident, intuitive and flexible, clearly expresses his thoughts, successfully interacts with the outside world, has self-discipline and knows how to concentrate on achieving goals, enjoys life.

The bija mantra of Manipura is RAM.

4th chakra: ANAHATA (heart chakra)

The heart chakra, its name is translated from Sanskrit as "divine sound", "unstrikeable". It is localized in the center of the sternum, at the level of the heart muscle. It radiates the energy of love, kindness, altruism. The vibrations of Anahata correspond to the element of air and the green color of the spectrum.

Being a "bridge" between the upper and lower chakras, it balances selfishness and spirituality. Harmonizes space. Responsible for creative realization, acceptance and unconditional love, controls the manifestation of feelings and emotions. On the physical level, the work of Anahata determines the state of the heart, lungs, nervous and circulatory systems.

Resentment and anger, unrequited love, inadequately deep feelings over trifles block the heart chakra. The imbalance of this chakra gives rise to dependence on the object of love, fetishism, arrogance, fraud. Such a person suffers from self-doubt, he is selfish and lazy, often cold and withdrawn in relationships. On the physical level, the imbalance of Anahata manifests itself in diseases of the chest organs, eye diseases, destruction of the physical body.

Harmonization of Anahata is promoted by forgiveness, opening of the heart in meditative practices, communication with nature, bhakti yoga. An individual with an open heart center is balanced in emotions, holistic in thoughts and actions, balanced and calm. He does not leave inspiration and creative activity. Most of the time he feels joy and inner harmony, which he is ready to share with others.

The bija mantra of anahata is YAM.

5th chakra: VISHUDHA (throat chakra)

The name of this chakra in Sanskrit sounds like "pure". The fifth chakra is located in the region of the larynx and thyroid gland. This is the center of the will and spirituality of a person, contributing to the disclosure of his individuality. On the physical plane, the voice and hearing aids, the upper respiratory tract, and teeth are associated with it. The blue color and the element of ether resonate with the vibrations of this chakra.

The state of Vishuddhi determines the vocal data, the development of speech and the degree of self-expression of the individual, as well as her emotional and hormonal status.

Vishuddha is blocked by concentration on the past and fear of the future, betrayal (lack of will), a sense of guilt, deceit, idle talk, slander, rudeness. A person with an unbalanced throat chakra is betrayed by increased conflict, the desire to argue "just because I have the right." Another extreme is also possible - isolation and unwillingness to share one's own thoughts. Such a person is afraid of public speaking and collective energy. On the physical plane, diseases of the nervous system, thyroid gland, and larynx are not uncommon.

The harmonization of the throat chakra is facilitated by mantra - yoga, meditative practices aimed at unlocking creativity and a sense of happiness. The balance in the fifth chakra is manifested in calmness, clarity and purity of thoughts, in the disclosure of new talents. Such a person understands the meaning of dreams. Spirituality and the divine principles of the Universe are open to him, which are often transformed by him into singing or writing literature.

The Bija Mantra of Vishuddhi is HAM.

6th chakra: AJNA (third eye)

The name of this energy center is translated from Sanskrit as "command" or "order". Chakra of the highest order, the center of Superconsciousness, the so-called "third eye". It is located above the spinal column, between the eyebrows. Its vibrations correspond to the blue color and the elements of space. The sixth chakra combines the three main nadis and supplies energy to the central nervous system.

The state of Ajna determines the level of intelligence, memory, wisdom, intuition, a person's ability to concentrate. This energy center determines the mental health of the individual, balances the work of both cerebral hemispheres.

Blocking of the sixth chakra leads to spiritual pride, opposing oneself to other people (duality), abuse of the gift of clairvoyance for selfish purposes. It can be expressed in the denial of spiritual truths and materialism, the cultivation of bodily pleasures, envy. On the physical plane, it manifests itself in the form of headaches, diseases of the brain, hearing apparatus, and vision.

With the harmonious work of the Ajna-chakra, a transcendental state, Superknowledge and superpowers are available to a person. A person realizes the divinity and unity of existence, is freed from sins, sees the unmanifested, subtle world of energies, receives information from the "Higher Self".

The bija mantra is OM (SHAM).

7th chakra: SAHASRARA (crown chakra)

In Sanskrit, the name of the seventh chakra means "thousand". Located directly above the crown, determines the work of the pineal gland. Resonates with violet and the element of sunlight. Energy center of abstract-philosophical thinking of the highest level.

Sahasrara functions with greater or lesser intensity for everyone. Its state determines the spiritual aspects of human existence. The function of this chakra is to feed the nervous system with the energies of the Cosmos, which then, having passed through the energy channels and chakras, are sent to the Earth.

With the difficult functioning of energy in Sahasrara, self-pity appears, in extreme forms of manifestation - great martyrdom. An imbalance in this chakra provokes AIDS and Parkinson's disease.

With the maximally opened Sahasrara Chakra, a person has an Awakened Consciousness. Such an individual has paranormal abilities and Planetary thinking. Has a divine vision on all planes, feels the bliss of being. He radiates Divine love, stays in advaita, beyond space-time restrictions. Above the head of such a person, its energy projection is formed, which can be perceived as a glow (nimbus).

The bija mantra is OM.

The total number of chakras in the human energy system is in the tens of thousands. In addition to the seven main ones, there are many subordinate secondary and tertiary ones.

Description of the main and extended set of human chakras. Relationship of diseases with them, table.

Everything around us is energy. And yes, we are made of it. Therefore, the world is in a state of energy exchange every second.

It is believed that a person has more than 80,000 chakras. Those who are interested in esotericism really know about seven.

It so happened that this science has attracted a lot of false teachers who confuse people, robbing them energetically. Then things do not go well for the latter, dreams do not come true, life as a whole passes without positive changes.

Let's talk without diving into the depths of esotericism on the topic of human chakras, their number, meanings.

What are chakras in humans: concept

human chakra icons and their color

Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit. This is a neuro-energy node located in a specific place in the body or outside it to generate energy.

Man has a central channel. And all the chakras are located in the center of the body. That is, not on the spine, and not on the skin.

Most chakras are paired. They radiate, that is, they are included together, for example, Sahasrara with Svadhisthana, Ajna with Muladhara, bones, knees and feet.

When you do something on the upper chakras in the process of meditation, the lower chakras are set, and vice versa. Since the upper part of the human body represents consciousness, and the lower part represents the subconscious, it turns out that your desires / thoughts are the same there and there.

Chakras and diseases: table

anatomical diagram of the human body with the designation of the chakras and the zones of their influence on the internal organs

Ideally, all chakras in a person should work harmoniously. However, in real life, almost every one of us has distortions and deviations.

Understanding the connection with the internal organs and the zones of action of the chakras, you can assume the causes of certain diseases in yourself and your loved ones.

Below we add a table for clarity.



two tables of the relationship of diseases with human chakras

The interaction of the chakras of a man and a woman



the scheme of interaction between a man and a woman at the level of their chakras

Most esotericists and sites with similar topics claim that the chakras in men and women work differently:

  • revolve in different directions
  • have more or less power, energy
  • some only give energy, while others only receive

Thanks to this order of things, harmonious relations are formed between a man and a woman. So, the second feeds the first with sexual energy and the heart, and the first feeds the second - from the rest of the chakras.

  • Note that disc-shaped chakras work with holy personalities. For the rest, they are more like balls of different diameters.
  • The second point is that ideally, all chakras in a person should work without reference to gender.
  • The third - when a man and a woman dock at each other, all the chakras should work in the ideal case.
    At a minimum - sexy, cordial and Ajna.
    Although there are couples and with docking only one chakra. Then they will either not be together for long, or they will take the path of development in a pair.

Physical sensation of the chakras



a girl meditates on the shore of a pond to feel her chakras

To feel the chakras at the level of body physics, consider a number of initial parameters:

  • degree of body control
  • the level of recognition of its signals
  • your state of health
  • muscle tone
  • cleanliness of the body, in other words, the absence of toxins

Concentrating on a particular chakra, you can feel:

  • pressure
  • cold
  • warm
  • goosebumps
  • numbness
  • ripple
  • vibration

Frequent cases when a person feels his nerve nodes brighter or weaker.

Sometimes, instead of the location of a particular chakra, a person is pulled to the side or straight / backward, up / down. This indicates distortions in the movement of energies, the occurrence of diseases in the future.

So, we got acquainted with the basic human chakras, their characteristics and zones of influence on the work of internal organs. We also briefly reviewed an extended list of chakras. We determined the nuances of the interaction of nerve nodes in a pair between a man and a woman. We got acquainted with the physical sensations of the chakras in the body.

To believe in all this or not is up to you. Always use logic and a critical assessment of information about esoteric knowledge. So you save your energy and peace of mind of loved ones.

Video: 40 human chakras - where are they located and how to work with them?

Figure 1. Human chakras, their meaning, opening, purification and location

Have you thought about what human chakras are, why they are needed, where they are located and how to cleanse them? Let's understand in simple terms.

I think that the article should begin with the question of whether there are human chakras? After all, we do not see them and most people do not feel them. So, is there any reason to believe that they do not exist?

Definitely not. There are a lot of things in the world that a person, unfortunately (although no, it’s more suitable here, fortunately) does not see and does not feel. These include not only some mystical things, but even simple radio waves, the existence of which no one denies today.

If you go back 500 years and talk about today's technologies, then this would most likely shock people. Someone would call you crazy, someone would simply not believe it. For example, let's take a phone. Today we can talk on the phone and do not even think about how this happens. But before it was something impossible. How? How can two tubes carry on a dialogue at any distance?

For some people, the human chakras represent something like a telephone for our distant ancestors. I hope that the time will come and people will realize that chakras really exist. Even though we don't see them, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Each of us has our own energy. And no one knows your energy better than yourself. We cannot unequivocally say: "chakras really exist", however, this term defines the inner feelings of many people who were engaged in spiritual development. They have chakras. Why would a simple person who is not engaged in spiritual growth deny their existence?

What are chakras?

Chakras are the psycho-energetic centers of a person, which are the intersection of the channels through which the vital energy of a person flows. They are also called the rotating whirlpools of energies that run along our spine.

As you should already know from the article about human energy, in order to exist and interact with the outside world, we need energy. As stated in the above article, one of them is food. It helps us to renew tissues and "build" our body. But this is clearly not enough for us. There is an opinion that we get only 20% of the energy for existence from food. Where to get the remaining 80%?

We will discard some others and immediately say that it is the chakras that help a person to absorb the energy necessary for the body from the outside world.

Chakras can remind us of the receiver and transmitter of the energy that surrounds us. They work with the electromagnetic field and turn it into energy that fills us with vitality.

We are surrounded by chaos of various energies. Thanks to the chakras, a person receives from this chaos what he needs. How open these chakras are, how much energy you can receive. In addition to how to receive, the chakras are also designed to give energy to the energy world around us.

In simpler terms, with the help of chakras, a person “eats” energy from the environment and gets rid of unnecessary energy. Unnecessary human energy can be used for other purposes. For example, it is absorbed by animals, plants and objects that have an extremely low coefficient of vitality (surrounding objects). In addition, the energy that comes out of the chakras of one person can be transferred to another.

Understanding the work of the chakras can be an indispensable tool for you in understanding your inner world. By becoming aware of the chakra system, you will be able to easily deal with the problems that arise in your life.

Human chakras their meaning

Do we need them at all? What is the meaning of the human chakras? Let's start with the fact that if a person's chakras stopped working at the same time, he would die. After all, human chakras are energy centers, and their significance is quite obvious. Man cannot live without energy.

When one or more chakras work poorly, a person feels a lack of something in his life (later on we will consider what each of the chakras is responsible for).

Full and harmonious work of all chakras brings a person great pleasure in life. Life becomes full, rich and joyful.

Chakras on the human body

Some of you may be wondering, "Does my body have chakras?" or "Do I have all the chakras?". Definitely - YES. Chakras on the human body are present in absolutely everyone. The only difference is how they function. Even for a specific person, they can work in different ways, depending on the period of life.

Some people are lucky to see chakras (or this happened due to long training). They describe them as shining whirlwinds in the form of circles that are concentrated at a point on the human body. The faster this vortex works, the more energy it can "process".

How Chakras Work

There are seven chakras in total. Each of the chakras works in its own frequency range.

Figure 2. Frequency spectrum. As you can see, the colors of the spectrum correspond to the colors of the chakras.

We will not delve into how a person transmits energy and information with the help of chakras, but only say that this happens with the help of electromagnetic waves. For a more detailed consideration of this issue, you need to refer to one of the sections of physics, namely, electromagnetic fields and waves.

As we have already said, chakras can carry both energy and information. The lower chakras (1-3) work mainly with energy, while the upper ones (6 and 7) work more with information. The middle chakras are a kind of balance between energy and information.

As you already know, chakras are designed to both absorb and expel energy. From this it follows that they can be in one of these states, but not simultaneously, but alternating.

What are chakras responsible for?

Each chakra is responsible for a different aspect of life. In one book, I came across a good example of this. Imagine that our spine is an elevator, and the chakras on our body are floors. As we rise from the lowest chakra upward, we can observe life in a more beautiful way. Agree that the view from the first floor is more boring than from the seventh.

Chakras are responsible for ensuring that your life is filled with energy. And this, in turn, determines that joy, health and well-being in life.

When the work of one of the chakras is limited, you may feel a painful condition, a breakdown, a feeling of discomfort. If all the chakras are blocked, physical death can occur.

First chakra Muladhara (root chakra)

Figure 3. The first chakra Muladhara.

Color: red. Crystals: ruby, garnet, obsidian. Location: base of spine.

The first chakra is called Muladhara (sometimes also called the root chakra or the lower chakra). It connects the human body with the Earth. The Muladhara chakra is responsible for what a person needs in the first place to survive: food, water, warmth, shelter, protection, clothing. Procreation also applies here.

In order for this chakra to be in a healthy state, you need to find a place in nature where you would feel good. Some people like mountains, others like blooming gardens, some people like big canyons, and some people like lakes and forests. There are people who feel good only in the city. In a word, you need to communicate with nature, which you like.

If a person cannot provide himself with basic necessities (food, water, housing, clothing, etc.), then he will immediately feel the influence of the Muladhara chakra. This person simply will not be able to concentrate on anything else anymore. Including he will not be able to deal with other chakras. The solution to this problem is obvious: you need to balance this desire for survival.

Second chakra Svadhisthana (sex chakra/sacral chakra/genital chakra)

Figure 4. The second chakra of Svadhisthana.

Color: orange Crystal: carnelian, amber Location: pelvic area

The Svadhisthana chakra is responsible for how satisfied you are in life. If the first chakra is limited to survival, then here you should enjoy some process.

Svadhisthana craves as much pleasure and enjoyment as possible. You can easily get used to this lifestyle: drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, etc. But you must not let your second chakra absorb all your energy.

The problem is that at the moment of enjoyment you "lose your head." All you have to do is to be aware of every moment of pleasure. If you notice that you are not doing well with the second chakra, but at the same time you will not do anything, then the search for pleasure in life will never end and will not lead to anything.

There is an easy way to know that the Svadhisthana chakra is out of balance. Pay attention to your attractiveness. If you consider yourself naturally attractive and you do not need other methods to improve your appearance, then most likely you are fine with the second chakra. Also pay attention not to feelings of jealousy and envy. They are signals to the incorrect operation of Svadhisthana, and if the first chakra does not work well for you, then these feelings will intensify.

Third chakra Manipura (solar plexus)

Figure 5. The third chakra of Manipura.

Color: yellow Crystal: amber, yellow tourmaline, citrine and topaz. Location: solar plexus

The Manipura chakra is responsible for strength and self-confidence, for self-control and self-discipline. One of the most important properties of this chakra is the ability to choose. It helps you say “yes” when you agree and “no” when you disagree with something.

Thanks to the good work of this chakra, you will be able not to be influenced by other people and act on your own, which gives us an important thing in life - freedom.

When we talked about the previous two chakras, we found out that for the first it will be enough just to survive in this world, for the second - to enjoy, for the third it is important that a person constantly develops his discipline and self-control.

If a person's third Manipura chakra is not balanced, then energy conflicts can often occur in his life, in which he allegedly receives some of the vital energy. Such a person can be called an energy vampire. On the contrary, when we see that a person knows how to concentrate and achieve the desired goal, and then take a break and enjoy the result, this indicates a developed 3rd chakra.

If a person does not do what he likes in life, then most likely you can notice how the Manipura chakra does not work properly for this person. After all, he obeys the will of another person and does not do what his own heart requires.

Fourth chakra Anahata (heart chakra)

Figure 6. Fourth chakra Anahata.

Green color. Crystal: aventurine, rose quartz. Location: heart

The fourth Anahata chakra is responsible for having Love in your life. Awakening love in your heart is one of the most important goals in human life.

The Anahata chakra is the middle chakra on the human body, which separates the three lower chakras from the three upper ones. This is the first energy center of a person, which is not aimed at personal energy, but at an attempt to erase the line between people in the world and feel the unity of nature.

The heart is the place that connects your ego and your spiritual life. In addition, according to some assumptions, this is also the place where the human soul lives.

Are you ready to take care of other people without demanding anything from them in return? If yes, then most likely you understand what love is.

If you sometimes have moments when you, feeling complete harmony, begin to do good deeds, then this can be called the first awakening of the fourth chakra of love.

Causing in yourself a state of harmony, joy, love for others, you thereby attract more and more people in whom you cause similar states.

If the fourth chakra is unbalanced, then it will be difficult for you to refuse another person and you will begin to indulge the requirements of others, which will not always be best for you. You may be haunted by feelings of guilt and shame that cannot be attributed to positive feelings.

To move up a level from the third to the fourth chakra, you will need a lot of time and effort. You will have to develop a love for life and realize that the world is tripled as one.

Fifth chakra Vishuddha (throat chakra)

Figure 7. The fifth chakra Vishuddha.

Color: sky blue Crystal: celestine, aquamarine, chrysoprase Location: neck

The fifth chakra, Vishuddha, is responsible for your creative abilities. Each person has a certain creative gift, talent. However, not all people discover it for themselves and, accordingly, do not use it to the fullest.

A developed and balanced Vishuddha chakra allows a person to be creative. Music, drawing, dancing becomes available thanks to this particular energy center. Performing creative work, a person feels inspiration and joy from his work.

In addition, a person uses his fifth chakra at the time of solving any problems. Sometimes a decision comes to your mind spontaneously. Such moments are called moments of insight.

If the opening and normal functioning of the fifth center indicates that a person has realized his uniqueness and originality, comprehended his knowledge about the world around him and brought them into his truth, then there is the other side. The imbalance of the center can be seen when a person deliberately tries to resist the opinions of others. If someone expresses his opinion on certain things, then such a person will definitely say: "No, you are wrong. I am right."

Also, a situation in which a person cannot express his opinion, because he believes that it is not correct or that no one is interested, can indicate a violation of the work of the Vishuddha chakra.

Sixth chakra Ajna (third eye chakra)

Figure 8. The sixth chakra Ajna.

Colour: blue Crystals: fluorite, indigo tourmaline Location: forehead, point above the bridge of the nose

The sixth chakra Ajna is responsible for your fantasies and imaginary world. Its awakening occurs when you seek to understand the mysteries of the world and the meaning of life. The Ajna chakra is responsible for ensuring that inspiration and grace are present in your life, which will allow you to escape from the reality of everyday life.

In order to tidy up the sixth chakra, you will need creative discipline and spiritual maturity.

The correct work of the Ajna chakra brings harmony and pleasure to your life. In addition, this chakra affects a person's intuition. By trusting her, you will notice that you no longer need to make efforts in order to carry out something planned in life. It may seem to you that all situations adjust to you and you appear at the right time in the right place. To do this, you will have to go through a difficult and painstaking path of work on yourself.

If you have lost or still have not found the meaning of life, then you should concentrate on the sixth chakra of Ajdna. You can use runes or tarot cards to get answers. In life, you will be given enough opportunities. The main thing is that you yourself want to use them.

The effect of the "third eye" or the distortion of reality can be obtained with the help of alcohol and drugs. But this feeling will be false. However, these states show how the sixth chakra works.

Seventh Chakra Sahasrara (crown chakra)

Figure 9. The seventh chakra Sahasrara.

Color: purple or white Crystal: clear quartz Location: top of the head

The seventh chakra Sahasrara is responsible for connections with the Divine, the disclosure of spiritual potential, insight. The author of one of the books about human chakras suggested that people who are now in a psychiatric hospital have come to this level of consciousness (not all, of course). But they are not connected to the lower chakras, so they can live in their own reality, which is different from ours.

People who have completely passed the path of development from the lower chakras to the upper Sahasrara chakra begin to live under the guidance of God, while drawing energy from an infinite source.

It is not possible for people to fully achieve the level of balance of the sixth chakra. And if it is given, then only a few. However, sometimes a person can feel a short-term effect of this chakra. After such an influence, priorities and outlooks on life change.

To live, realize and work on the 7th chakra means to live with faith and serve God. For most people, giving up the security and the most precious thing in life is a huge sacrifice. But this is only at first glance so. When you reach the higher chakra consciousness, you will get much more in life than you had before.

Chakra colors

All 7 chakras have a different color that corresponds to the colors of the rainbow (red orange yellow green blue blue violet).

Figure 12 Chakra Meditation

Chakra work can be done through meditation. The main thing to understand here is that a person can experience for a moment the work of any of the seven chakras. But without meditation, you will not be able to hold this moment for a long time. You need to find a strong connection between all the chakras, and this can be helped by working with the chakras in the form of meditation. Remember that just knowing about the chakras is not enough, they need to be experienced and felt.

The first thing you have to do when working with the chakras is to develop the ability to feel them and realize the impact on your life.

To work with the chakras you need peace of mind. Perhaps this is the most important requirement in order to begin to be aware and move through the chakra system.

conclusions

Chakras are human energy centers in the form of small cones that supply energy to a person and get rid of unnecessary ones. Chakras are extremely important for a person, because it is through them that we receive the main amount of energy, which in turn we need for existence.

Poor functioning of one of the chakras can lead to diseases and undesirable consequences for a person. Since energy is primary, and the physical body is built in the likeness of the energy body, various diseases can be treated with the help of chakra restoration.

What is an open chakra

Opening and clearing the chakras

Chakra colors

Human chakras are invisible energy centers in the astral body. Chakras carry religious, spiritual and cultural significance for all mankind. This teaching came to us from India, and the Hindus themselves often use images of chakras, they look especially bright and original on jewelry.

Human chakras. Meaning

Not everything that exists in the world can be seen with one's own eyes. Beyond the visible perception are 7 chakras:

  1. Muladhara;
  2. Svadhisthana;
  3. Manipura;
  4. Anahata;
  5. Vishuddha;
  6. Ajna;
  7. Sahasrara.

Each of the 7 chakras is responsible for the physical, mental and emotional processes in the human body. Each chakra has its own internal organs. The first, root chakra is the rectum and large intestine; the second, sacred - the genitourinary system and kidneys; third, solar - spleen, liver, stomach and small intestine; fourth, cardiac - heart and lungs; fifth, guttural - throat; sixth, frontal - the brain; seventh, crown - the brain. The chakras are the same for women and men.

What are open chakras and how it works

The opening of the chakras is not a myth. Spiritual teachers say that where it hurts, it is blocked. Each organ belongs to a particular chakra, and when traditional medicine does not save you from problems, help comes from meditation. The opening of the chakras is the cleansing of energy blocks, memories, resentments, clamps and old unnecessary prejudices. When a person works with one or another chakra, does special yogic exercises, concentrates his attention on points inside the body, wears and eats properly, the flow of energy in the body resumes and the chakras open. Over time, real pain in organs and muscles disappears.


The energy body is a complex structure made up of seven major chakras.

It is believed that energy comes to man from outer space. It enters the Sahasrara and flows down, passing through all the energy centers. In the lower chakra, it twists and tends back up. This cosmic energy is called prana, and the channels are called nadis. There are three of them in the human body: left, central and right. If the energy stops in some part of the nadi, it means that there is a blockage there. Blocks, as a rule, are psychosomatic in nature, but they are manifested by quite real and tangible pain, discomfort.


Cosmic energy is available to everyone at any time, you just need to open the chakras

For example, if a child is not allowed to cry, express emotions, or speak openly about his thoughts, there is a high probability of a blockage in Vishuddha, the throat chakra. This is the same “lump in the throat”. Later, such people are afraid of self-realization, public speaking, they cannot talk about their problems and dissatisfaction.


Both pranayama and mantra chanting are used to activate the fifth chakra.

If a child is not loved, they do not say warm words to him, do not hug him and do not accept him with all his shortcomings, a block appears in Anahata. Later, this is manifested by pain in the heart and diseases of the cardiovascular system, as well as the inability to express one's love, and even cruelty.


A blocked Anahata spoils the life of not only a person, but also the people around him

There are countless examples of blocks, but you can identify the root of the problem and fix it.


By removing the block from each chakra, you can put in order almost all areas of your life.

Opening and clearing energy centers

How to get rid of blocks? How to open chakras? How to make the cosmic energy flow evenly throughout the body, from head to toe and back? Here are the key practices for clearing the chakras:

Working with the mind, concentration, thoughts and emotions. Set a goal: get rid of a specific disease or suffering. Concentrate on one chakra, working with color and sound, look for clips, childhood memories in this area and direct the energy of love there.


Meditation on the chakras is one of the fastest ways to open them.

Yoga. A set of Kundalini yoga exercises is aimed at activating the human energy centers. Schedule yoga classes for a week: Monday - Muladhara, Tuesday - Svadhisthana, and so on. The 7 days of the week correspond to the 7 chakras of a person. Pick up and go to practice!


Yoga is a powerful way to clear and open the chakras

Pranayama. Breathing exercises will help to carry out special work with that point in the body that needs attention and purification. Enrichment with oxygen rejuvenates the body.


Breathing practices effectively open the chakras, so pranayamas are also very popular.

Each chakra has its own sound. You can sing it, say it or repeat it to yourself - this is how you concentrate on the right center and the answers to exciting questions come by themselves.


Each chakra has its own mantra

Working with crystals Each chakra corresponds to a specific stone. Talismans have certain vibrations, change the energy field and are able to heal.


Working with crystals and stones is a good way to harmonize the energy body and chakras.

Right actions. In addition to spiritual practices, it is necessary to do work in everyday life: to tell others about your love, to do good deeds, not to let aggression rule you, not to be greedy, not to offend others, to eat right, to work.


Thanks to good deeds, chakra blocks disappear much faster

Each chakra has its own color

Each chakra has its own color. These are her vibrations, her individual trademark. Sacred geometry and mathematics reign in the universe, even if we do not always notice it. 7 notes, 7 planets, 7 days of the week, 7 chakras and 7 colors of the rainbow. The outstanding scientist Isaac Newton broke the continuous spectrum into 7 colors, and, surprisingly, they correspond to the human chakras. People who meditate regularly note that the light and color of a chakra can actually be seen if you focus your attention on it for a long time.


Each chakra has its own color and, accordingly, properties.

Chakra colors:

  • Muladhara is red. The color of life, strength, stability and courage;
  • Svadhisthana - orange. The color of emotions, pleasure, youth and health;
  • Manipura is yellow. The color of lightness, smiles and the ability to overcome difficulties;
  • Anataha - green. The color of love;
  • Vishuddha is blue. The color of creativity and self-expression;
  • Ajna - blue. The color of wisdom, logic, good memory;
  • Sahasrara - purple. The color of the cosmos, spirituality and the desire for awareness.

If you are looking for how to become better, how to live better, how to feel better, you are on the spiritual path. Do not pay attention to the fact that interest in the 7 chakras has increased so much that now everyone who is not lazy is speculating with this information. It is still a sacred teaching that came to us from ancient India, and it really works.

With this article, we open a series of publications about chakras, where we will tell you more about each of them, their meaning, as well as how an open chakra changes a person’s life and how to activate it.
