Chakras
There is a lot of information on chakras. Here I will give you some basics to learn from. If you want to learn more then please research but remember to keep it simple. Too much can take away from what you are trying to accomplish.
Chakras are energy centers that flow in circular patterns and each form a funnel. They are in the cross lines throughout your entire body. Some say that there are only seven, but these are the main chakras. They are located in six areas just in front of your spine and are horizontal. The seventh is located in the top of your head and that one is vertical. Each chakra contains lots of information and energy and it is up to you to learn how to use it.
Chakras can be opened or closed. It is not good to totally shut them off or totally open them without knowing what you are doing. Feel them open and close gently until you have mastered how to use them.
You have to learn to listen to your body and spirit and learn to control your energy centers. Our feet also have energy centers which can be easier to learn first. Walking bare foot and visualizing growing roots and then letting go of negative energies and then pulling up positive energies from Mother Earth can benefit us greatly. We often did this as children even though most of us don’t remember. We need this more as adults because of all the mundane things that we put up with every day and we don’t want to keep any negative energy because this can make us spiritually, mentally, and physically ill.
Chakras are usually associated with their own color. I will outline these but please remember, as with anything do what works for you. Don’t limit yourself. When we set limits, we are creating a stopping point and we want to go on past the goal that we have set for ourselves, not stop before we get there.
