An Introduction to Chakras

Chakras refer to energy centers located in the body. Everybody has seven chakras in their body. There are three basic states in which these chakras affect us, by being dormant, active or over-active. When an energy center is dormant, it affects our lives by keeping us away from our potential. When the centers are hyperactive, they also have negative implications like greediness and so on. The right balance indicates an active chakra. This is what each of us should aspire to achieve.

In a bottom-to-top order, the first chakra is the root chakra. An active one indicates physicality and comfort levels in different environments. It shows how well you are connected with your body. Fear and anxiety indicate a dormant root chakra. The opposing end indicates greed and materialism.

The second chakra is the sacral chakra. It governs feelings of sexuality and intimacy. A dormant one shows aversion to close relationships, while an over-active one indicates a lack of control over emotions. The navel chakra is the next, which controls your self-esteem. A closed navel chakra shows an indecisive and passive approach. The opposite shows aggressive behavior.

The heart chakra controls love and affection. A closed one shows that you distance yourself, while an over-active one indicates that a person can be selfish, to the extent of over-imposing. The chakra at the throat revolves around communication skills. The ‘Third Eye’ chakra tells you about insight, and how you visualize various aspects in your life. The final chakra is the crown chakra. It is indicative of a person’s wisdom and connection with the world.
