The Seven Chakra Centers and Healing

The 7 chakra are aligned up the body from the base of your spine to the top of your head. They radiate into the physical body and out into all layers of the biofield.

Some people believe there are additional energy centers above the head that relate to our higher self and universal or divine energy.

Smaller chakra centers are located in the palms of your hands, the back of your knees, and the soles of your feet. Even smaller chakras are located on the tips of your fingers and toes.

If you do hands on healing with energy these vortices open to allow the energy to be sent through the palms of your hands.

When grounding with earth energy the chakras in your feet pull up the energy from the earth.

The seven chakra centers act as funnels for life force or vital energy. On the physical level, they send this energy to organs and glands. They also relate to specific emotional and psychological associations. Although they are individual centers, they interact with each other and are affected by each other.

It is believed that certain energy centers are more active in life at different stages of our personal and collective evolution. For most people and younger people, the first three centers are most active. This does not mean that one chakra is better than another. For optimum health and well-being, proper functioning of the entire system is necessary.

Chakra centers can become partially blocked or distorted. Although it still has function, there is limited access to the understandings and energy it would normally transmit. The organs and glands receive less energy, leading to poor functioning or illness.

Each energy vortex is associated with a specific color, sound and note on the scale. Introducing the sounds and/or colors into the field can help balance and strengthen them. You can experience this using healing chakra meditations.
