Which Are The Main Seven Chakras And Their Functionalities?
Chakra can also be translated as the wheel. It’s a Sanskrit word. The Chakras permeate from a point on the physical body and are known as the centers of forces.
There are seven main chakras:
The Root chakra or Muladhara; Swadhisthana, called the ovaries; Manipura, the Solar Plexus Chakra situated at the navel area; Anahata, Heart Chakra located near the heart area; Vishuddha or Throat Chakra; Ajna or Third Eye Chakra; Sahasrara, the Crown Chakra located at the top of the head.
The beginning of the chakra is at the base of the spine and they end at the top of the head. Chakras are fixed in the central spinal column.
Vibration of the chakras is at different speeds. The slowest speed is at the root or first chakra and the highest speed is at the crown or seventh chakra. Stimulation of each chakra is on its own. Following are the colors of the chakras: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, Violet.
Brightness and size of the chakras vary. This factor is dependent on stress, individual development, energy levels, physical condition, or disease.
Either with imbalance of the chakras or blocked energies the force gets slowed down. A constant balance should be maintained between health and the chakras for promotion of sense of well being.
The moment our feelings are blocked or the natural energy flow stops we begin to react with unpleasant experiences. Due to this both the development and maturation of chakras is impacted. Incase our experiences are blocked our chakras also get blocked and then the chakras get disfigured. Each chakra opens and spins clockwise during normal functioning. This is to metabolize the unique energies desired from the universal energy field.
