The Chakras are the Energy Zones in the human body that are as complex as they are simple. So we wanted to give you the basics of them so that you can gain an understanding of why they are so important to both your everyday life, healing your past trauma and creating a fluid future for your mind, body and soul.
There are 7-9 Chakras in the lower and upper classes- most of the time we focus on the main 7 which are:
1} Root- Survival, Being & Family {Red} Base of the Spine | Element is Earth | Sanskrit Name is Muladhara. Other names are 'Base Chakra' or 'First Chakra'. A few crystals that help activate this zone are Obsidian, Fire Agate & Smoky Quartz.
2} Sacral- Sexuality & Creativity {Orange} At the Naval | Element is Water | Sanskrit Name is Svadisthana. Other names are 'Second Chakra' or 'Naval Chakra'. A few crystals that help activate this zone are Carnelian, Amber & Sunstone.
3} Solar Plexus- Self Esteem & Power {Yellow} Below the Sternum | Element is Fire | Sanskrit Name is Manipura. Other names are 'Third Chakra' or 'Power Chakra'. A few crystals that help activate this zone are Yellow Tiger's Eye, Yellow Citrine & Rutilated Quartz.
4} Heart- Love & Compassion {Green} Middle of the Chest | Element is Air | Sanskrit Name is Anahata. Other name is 'Fourth Chakra'. A few crystals that help activate this zone are Rose Quartz, Jade & Green Moonstone.
5} Throat- Communication {Blue} At the Throat | Element is Sound | Sanskrit Name is Vishuddha. Other name is 'Fifth Chakra'. A few crystals that help activate this zone are Aquamarine, Celestite and Sodalite.

Both physical and emotional pain can be the cause of a blocked or over-active chakra zones, and vice versa. When you are experiencing signs of certain symptoms, see how it is related to the body or the correlating zone functions.
For example, if you are having lots of throat irritation or problems around the neck, ask yourself if you have some communication issues, or your truth is being held back in some way, causing stress. Think about when you are emotionally hurt, by way of a broken relationship or a hurtful conversation, how you usually feel a heaviness in your chest and in the heart chakra zone. All of these things are connected.
As you learn more about each zone, you will discover more about yourself, will be able to heal and have a more balanced emotional and physical body and mind. Your meditations and your spiritual growth will also grow and you will be able to see a new perspective on life and through a higher consciousness.
Since we are just covering the basics, details of each one will come later in a separate blog concentrating on one at a time. Then we can get into a more advanced insight into the 8th and 9th Chakras, as well as how each one has been imprinted on your seven year cycle, your birthday and traumas you have experienced at each age, that may be affecting those chakra zones today.
