Let's start with what they are.... They are energy centers located in your body.

Their appearance is a funnel shape, with the small end of the cone located in your spine.

The funnel travels through your body with the large, open end  exiting out your front side (for most of them).

Just for fun...

A collection of pictures of chakras here!

The definition is;

... your survival and "sense of safety" place, positioned at the base of the spine (perineum).

If you are unbalanced here, there may be feelings of abandonment, isolation, fear and distrust.

Hence then, if you are balanced in The Root you are feeling connected to others and something greater than yourself.

You are trusting and feeling "safe" in all aspects of life.

The colour associated with this area is red.

The definition is;

... your sexual and creativity hub.

It is established just below the belly button.

If you are unbalanced here, you may experience sexual dysfunction, frustration, control issues and poor emotional boundaries.

If you are balanced in this intense place then you will have clear boundaries, feel the flow of creativity and have healthy sexual relationships.

The definition is;

... your self-esteem and intuitive home base. (Not to be mistaken with the third eye and it's intuition connection, which we will get to.)

This power packed point is where we feel our "gut instincts".

It is found approximately 2 inches above your belly button. If this is unbalanced you may feel powerless, be hypersensitive to criticism, experience perfectionism and you may have digestive issues.

The definition is;

... your emotional processing center!

This dynamic core is positioned in the middle of your chest.

If it is unbalanced, you may experience jealousy, sadness, lack compassion and empathy, and you may harbor feelings of abandonment and isolation.

If you are balanced in the Heart center, you can give and receive love freely, you are compassionate and experience a true sense of "love for all".

The definition is;

... your communication center which gives you the ability to speak honestly.

This dynamic spot is found in your throat.

If this is unbalanced, you my feel, a lack of expression, stagnation and the inability to communicate.

When this zone is balanced, you have the ability to speak your truth and express yourself fully.

The colour associated with the Throat is turquoise.

This area is defined as your intuitive center.

It is located on your forehead between the eyebrows.

If this is unbalanced, you may experience lack of concentration (unclear thinking), and be unable to "see" beyond.

When this intuitive space is balanced, you trust your "inner knowing" (intuitive ability is sharp), clear thinking is present and you have a healthy detachment from possessions, as there is less focus on holding on to or gaining more of them.

The colour associated with the Third Eye is indigo.

The definition is;

The place where you connect to source.

This is often represented as the symbol of the lotus flower and the ever unfolding petals to spiritual enlightenment.

This power axis is located at the top of the head and the funnel faces upwards towards the Divine.

When this area is unbalanced...you may feel disconnected, (disconnected from your source, disconnected from your surroundings, disconnected from life), which results in depression and lack of spirituality.

Also when this area is unbalanced you may feel a unnaturally strong attachment to religious dogma.

Now that you have become aware of your power core areas, you may have identified the need to clear them.

Knowing the symptoms of an unbalanced energy system provides us with the opportunity to heal them and let's start with a picture of the chakra locations & a chakra colour chart.
