7 Major Chakras   

There are a few systems of Chakras depending on the various traditions that use it. We follow the Hindu/Yogic tradition of 7 major chakras on the body, which happens to be the most widely accepted system.

The location of the 7 major Chakras corresponds to major nerve plexuses of the physical body or nerve ganglia along the spinal column. It is also no coincidence that the locations of these same Chakras correspond to glands of our endocrine system. Each chakra metabolizes energy at a particular frequency and rate and thus has been observed by clairvoyants to have color associated with invisible colored light (Fig. 3).

To clairvoyants, the Chakras look like energy vortices or cyclones that appear to act as conduits for (Universal) Energy to enter and exit our body (Fig. 2). The chakras open up to a few feet beyond our body with their tips connected to our spine, which in turn acts as a main power conduit running the length of our body. It is thus believed that the chakras vitalize our Energy Body and therefore our physical body.

1^st Chakra - Root/Base Chakra (Muladhara)

Location: Bottom of the spine (coccyx)
Color: Red
Associated endocrine system: Adrenals
Area of body governed: Spinal column, Kidneys

Aspect of life: Foundation, balance, grounding, security

Psychic/Energy aspect: Kundalini

The root chakra connects us to the Earth energetically. We absorb the necessary energy from the earth and also discharge unwanted or negative energy to earth. This “grounding” helps us stay connected to the real world and ensures the functions associated with this chakra are functioning as intended. 

Balance in life is the key to having a healthy root chakra. It gives indication on the foundation of our lives and also how secure we feel as a person.

It is also associated with the general physical functioning and physical sensations (pain and pleasure) of the body. The Kundalini is also believed to reside here.

Aspect of life: Expression

Psychic/Energy aspect: Clairsentience

The sacral chakra represents how we express ourselves. It is associated with our emotional aspect and governs creativity. People who suppress their emotions a lot of have repression (unconscious suppression) will often have blocked sacral chakras. It should also not come as a surprise that artists and creative people often have healthy and vibrant sacral.

It also intersects to the “Lower Dan Tien” in the Chinese system of Qi (Chi) and meridiens and is an important energy store of Qi.

Those who have highly developed sacral chakras usually show the psychic ability clairsentience ie ability to feel energy.

Psychic/Energy aspect: Energy source

The solar plexus is a gathering point for lines of subtle energy, the nadis, which distributes energy to our entire body. Physically it is also an intersection of nerves in the body.

It is associated with our self-identity and empowerment. People who have a strong self-identity and confidence usually have bright Solar Plexus. Especially those who have learnt how to empower themselves and also that of others. People who subject themselves to the control of others (eg parents or lovers) usually have blocked chakras. A healthy ego usually means a healthy Solax Plexus. However, those who are too egotistical will have hampered Solar Plexus.

You can consider it as the Sun of your body and is amongst the easiest place for you to manifest energy in the body. It is no surprise then that this is the place where stress and frustration manifests itself. This is the reason why those who are stressed often get gastric. As the blockages after the digestive systems which the Solar Plexus govern energetically.
