I had to find a way to explain chakra work for my Mindset Cultivation course students and I thought I would share the knowledge with everyone so it can assist you on your journey even if you aren’t joining the course.
WHAT IS A CHAKRA?
Let’s start with the basics, what even is a chakras? From my understanding chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel. When you think about wheels you know that they have the ability to turn all the time. Chakras are about locations within the physical body that hold energy. You can think of them as energy wheels for different parts of the human experience. Emotions as well as actions and behaviours will be tied to these different energy points. I think it’s important that we all consider utilizing chakra energy balancing for mindset cultivation, habit change, behaviour change, feeling aligned and healthy in our bodies. I’ll break down the chakras for you so you have a better understanding of how they work and how they work together.
CROWN CHAKRA
The crown chakra is located on the tops of our heads. It relates to your highest spiritual self. If you think about the wisest part of you that gives you awareness with a feeling of connection to a higher self. When you have ideas that seemingly come out of nowhere they could be coming from your crown and that energy could be being activated. Each chakra also has a color associated with it. The color for the crown is violet or white. I always think of white as clarity and purple as a color for royalty so you can consider a queen making decisions that would have her crown activated.
THIRD EYE CHAKRA
The third eye chakra is located between our eyebrows. This chakra is in alignment with the awareness from the crown but it pulls in more of the intuition piece. It allows you to see the things that are of psychic or spiritual nature. The color associated with the third eye is an indigo blue. This color is associated with wisdom, peace and trust.
THROAT CHAKRA
As the name suggests this chakra is located in your throat. This chakra's superpower is the ability to communicate and express yourself verbally. You can harness this chakra power when you are speaking your truth. Biting your tongue and preventing yourself from speaking when there is something you want to see may result in this area becoming blocked. The color that correlates to the throat chakra is blue.
HEART CHAKRA
The chest area is where the heart chakra is located. The heart chakra is all about how we can tap into unconditional love including self love, nurturing, kindness for others as well as yourself. It’s both internal and external. The heart chakra acts as the central space for the other chakras because it’s connected to each one. It’s important to align your heart chakra in order for the others to work optimally. Green is the color that you would look to if you would like to do work surrounding your heart chakra.
SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
Your solar plexus is located at the top of your abdomen. This is my favorite chakra and I love it because it is the center of our willpower, self confidence, goal setting capacity and self esteem. If you have ever dealt with self doubt or imposter syndrome then you should likely do some solar plexus work. It’s very powerful. I found when I activated a practice of meditation based on solar plexus and heart chakra healing I was able to get over some barriers and blocks that were coming up when I was writing my book. If you find that you have a start stop pattern. The color associated with solar plexus is yellow so you can incorporate more yellow elements if this is an area you want to work on.
SACRAL CHAKRA
In the area below the belly button and before the pubic bone is the area where the sacral chakra is located. The sacral is another one of the chakras I like the best because it holds the power of joy, expressing your creativity and sexuality. It is the space where you feel pleasure. If you struggle with freedom of play, creativity or sensuality then you may need to focus more deeply on your sacral chakra to heal it. The color associated with this chakra is the color orange. If you’d like to work on this meditate on the color orange, wear orange or incorporate more orange foods or nuts into your diet.
ROOT CHAKRA
The final chakra is your root chakra. It is located on top of your pubic bone and in your tailbone area. The power in this chakra is to create a space of grounding, self identity, safety and survival. If you are feeling like you need to work on this chakra the associated color is red so you can lean into crystals, foods or other elements to do work on this area.
In total there are seven chakras that we went over in this post. For my Mindset Cultivation students I offer the 20 chakra activation methods so you can try different methods on activating your chakras. For any others who may be interested you can purchase my Chakra Healing Chart from my website as a guide to where your chakras are located when you are doing work on them. It may be helpful for you to journal to see if there are times you refrain from speaking or have trouble connecting with your higher self. This can reveal areas that you may want to spend time working on for more flow or recognize the areas where you are doing well. Something to note is that there is no progress if you are solely focused on energy work. As much as energy work can help you it is not the only tool to achieve what you want in your life, you always need to pair the energy work with a physical action. If we don’t change anything then nothing changes. It’s great to perform actions towards your goals while incorporating energy work so you are open and ready for change.
