Following on from my last two articles about the chakras, this article references the 7 main chakras and their corresponding physical associations, balanced characteristics, and their imbalances.
As previously discussed, chakras are spiralling pools of energy that are responsible for maintaining the health and well-being of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves and as such, these pools of energy need regular balancing and healing to carry out this vital maintenance work.
The attached “cheat sheet” outlines each chakra and its colour, location, physical associations, balanced characteristics and imbalances. Use this sheet in conjunction with the previously supplied “cheat sheets” to ascertain what crystals, colours, foods and yoga postures you can use and when you should use them.
As a reminder, the 7 main Chakras are:
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) which is represented by the colour red and is located at the base of the spine.
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) which is represented by the colour orange and located in the lower abdomen.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) which is represented by the colour yellow and is located in the upper abdomen.
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) which is represented by the colour green and/or pink and is located in the centre of the chest.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) which is represented by the colour sky blue and is located in the throat area.
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) which is represented by the colour indigo and is located in the centre of the forehead.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) which is represented by the colour sky violet and is located at the top of the head.
