Cha-Cha- Chakras

Just like the cha- cha, our 7 chakras are always dancing to hold us in alignment.  But it’s a really tough dance, more like break dancing, in order for all 7 to stay balanced.  More often than not, a chakra will fall behind needing nourishment or pull ahead being over stimulated.  

So, if you’re wondering what in the world is a chakra I’m here to help.  The chakra system, according to the Chopra Center, translates to a wheel or disc, but is a spiritual energy center within the human body of which there are seven along the spine, and though the neck and crown of the head.  It originated in India between 1500 and 500 bc in the oldest text called the Vedas.  The Vedas are the earliest Sanskrit literary records.

Each of the 7 chakras corresponds to a specific organ as well as physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual states of being.  Prana, the ultimate pure healing energy, is housed in the chakras to give us vibrancy in life.  

The 7 chakras are:

• Root | located at the base of the spine
• Sacral | located above the pubic bone and below the naval
• Solar Plexus | located between the naval and rib cage
• Heart | located at the center of the chest
• Throat | located at the center of the throat
• Third Eye | located in between the brows
• Crown | located at the crown of the head

We can go deep into each of these chakras so be on the lookout for our series on each of the chakras.  Take the 2 left feet out of your chakra dance by learning what to look for in an imbalance.
