The word Chakra means Wheel in the Sanskrit language and according to Tantric beliefs, there are seven energy wheels in the center of our body. These are the chakras and they are all interconnected to light, sound and color. Understanding the chakras allows us to understand the relationship between our consciousness and our physical body.
If you’ve ever felt a sudden lump in your throat, butterflies in your stomach or an aching heart, then you have experienced your chakras trying to communicate with you. They are giving you signals that you need to pay attention to; otherwise they will become unbalanced and can cause emotional or even physical discomfort, pain or even disease.

Introduction to Chakras
Here is how to determine if your Chakras are open or closed.
Root Chakra: When your root Chakra is open it gives you a sense of security; of being in control of your life and your destiny. When your root Chakra is closed, you may feel insecure about your life, guilty about things you’ve done and a sense of not belonging.
Sacral (Sexual) Chakra: When your sacral Chakra is open, you feel creative, free of guilt or shame, emotionally and sexually fulfilled. When the sacral Chakra is closed, it can result in feelings of frustration, lack of sexual desire, and can block your creativity.
Solar Plexus Chakra: When your solar plexus Chakra is open, you feel confident, courageous and full of energy like nothing can stop you from reaching your goals. When your solar plexus is closed, you are fearful of success, resentful of others and you just feel like giving up.
Heart Chakra: When your heart Chakra is open, you love yourself and others without judgment. You are compassionate and feel emotionally balanced. When your heart Chakra is closed, you feel unloved, depressed and unworthy. You find it hard to trust anyone.
Throat Chakra: When your throat Chakra is open, you have the ability to express yourself honestly and creatively so that people hear and understand what you say. You are also good at listening and are able to give constructive advice. When your throat Chakra is closed, you feel insecure about communicating your thoughts for fear of rejection, or fear that people may misunderstand what you say.
Crown Chakra: When your crown Chakra is open, you feel connected to the Universe and have peace of mind. You know that you have taken the right path and that your journey will make a difference to humanity. When your crown Chakra is closed, you question your knowledge and you fear the unknown. You are skeptical. Your life’s mission is unclear and your spiritual growth is stunted.
Third Eye: When your third eye Chakra is open you feel intuitive, you think clearly and have the ability to visualize what you want and then manifest it. When your third eye Chakra is closed, it’s hard to imagine anything going right. It’s difficult to follow through on projects and life can be confusing with lots of conflicts.
