What are the chakras?

So what are these Chakras that I talk about?

Essentially they are energy centers in the body.  They form spinning wheels, or vortexes, that act as conductors to filter energy from the heavens and the earth so that they can combine and act upon the physical body.  They are associated with many types of healing therapies and most often with ancient Eastern healing traditions.  The ancient Eqyptians would have associated them with aromatherapy and colors, while the early Jewish tradition made this a part of their mystical Kabbalah.  Indian Ayurveda uses them as part of their traditions as does the current practice of Japanese Reiki.

I was introduced to the chakras as part of my training in energy balancing through my massage therapy studies.  Most people are introduced to them through the Hindu symbols  at the top of this page and the associated colors and their placement on the body.  They directly mimic the colors of the rainbow in their order as they ascend from the base of the spine to the top of the head: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, however some teachings use white for the 7th, or crown chakra.

There are associated emotions, gemstones, colors, musical notes and endocrine glands with each of the chakras also.  I will take a couple weeks to review what I know and teach about the chakras and the healing energies within each of us.

Let's begin with the chakras themselves; their names, locations and colors.

Root - base of the spine - red
Sacral - pelvis - orange
Solar Plexus/Stomach - abdomen - yellow
Heart - heart/mid-chest - green (sometimes pink)
Throat - center of the neck - blue
Third Eye/Brow - center of the forehead - indigo/purple
Crown/Top of Head - center top of head - violet/white
