Introduction
Ever wondered why some days you’re feeling in perfect harmony, and others it’s like you’ve got a gremlin in your energy flow? Meet your Chakras. Seven little energy hubs with big personalities. As a result each one governs different aspects of your physical, emotional, and spiritual life and in another blog I will be talking about the Chakras in regards to business and I will also talk about how your business has its own energy and Chakras.
People comment on how Chakras can become blocked. Well, I don’t agree with that because the Chakras are energy and so are you. Energy is constantly moving. It may slow down. It doesn’t stop though, which means the Chakras can’t become blocked. If they did, well let’s just say that you would be going “Home.”
Let’s dive in and get to know these colorful characters, their quirks, and how to keep them spinning like pros.
1. Root Base Chakra
Root (also known as Base) Chakra (Muladhara)
The Root Chakra is your energetic foundation. It’s all about survival, stability, and feeling grounded. Think of it as the roots of a tree, strong, steady, and deep in the earth. When balanced, you feel safe and secure; when it’s off, life can feel a bit like quicksand. Let’s dig deeper into this earthy chakra!

2. Sacral Chakra
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
The Sacral Chakra is the home of creativity, passion, and pleasure. It’s the spark that fuels your artistic pursuits and emotional connections.

Pause
I want to pause here and take stock of what we have talked about as these Chakras are your foundation. There is talk that communication is only held in the Throat Chakra. I don’t agree with this. Yes, communication is held there, yet if we don’t have the lower foundational Chakras working then our communication will be the bare minimum.
Now can you remember a time when you wanted to speak and it came out like a squeak or you didn’t want to say what you wanted to? Yes that is your Throat Chakra and it is also your lower Chakras. Remember to take your energy down to the Earth Connection Chakra (see below), and then bring it up through the Chakras stopping at each one for a short time, letting the energy sit in there and then move to the Heart Chakra. The Heart Chakra is the bridge between the Lower Chakras and the Higher Chakras.
Like some bridges that have a beam to prevent cars crossing them the Heart Chakra has something similar. It slows down the energy to ensure that the energy is what you need to communicate, connect to your intuition etc.
4. Heart Chakra
Heart Chakra (Anahata)
The Heart Chakra is the bridge between your physical and spiritual self. It’s all about love, self-love, love for others, and unconditional compassion. Think of it as the warm hug of your energy system. When it’s open and balanced, you’re a beacon of connection. Let’s explore this loving energy!
Location: Center of the chest.
Element: Air.
Symbol: Twelve-petaled lotus.
Sound: “YAM”.
Star Sign: Libra and Gemini.
Crystals: Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine, Jade.

Signs It Needs Support: Feeling closed off, lack of forgiveness, or carrying grudges heavier than your gym weights.
Signs It’s Thriving: Open-hearted, compassionate, balanced, and capable of deep connections.
Your Heart Chakras your love HQ. Keep it glowing with Rose Quartz and a few drops of Rose oil to invite unconditional love, even for Mondays.
5. Throat Chakra
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
The Throat Chakra is your communication HQ. It’s your voice, your truth, and your ability to express yourself. Imagine it as a megaphone for your authenticity. When balanced, you speak clearly and confidently. Let’s tune into this vocal powerhouse!

6. Third Eye Chakra

New Chakras.
These are the 7 Main Chakras that are within the body. A few years ago I was downloaded information about two different Chakras that I work with and that you can as well. Yes there is a Chakra just below the feet. I was guided that the Earth Connection Chakra is the first grounded Chakra and is where the energy of Mother Earth resides.
The Solar Lunar Cakra is two Chakras that joined to become one so that when you meditate, visualise, are in hypnosis, or astral travel you are connect even stronger than just by the amazing Crown Chakra. Imagine a 4 or more strand cord or a metal chain connecting your human body to your energy so that you stay connected. This helps with you remaining associate to your body. Have you ever felt a time when you did a meditation and didn’t want to come back? That most likely was you not being fully connected to your body.
Earth Connection Chakra
The Earth Connection Chakra doesn’t have a Sanskrit name.
The Earth Connection Chakra is your grounding beyond the physical—it’s about your relationship with the planet, nature, and your sense of belonging within it all. Imagine this chakra as your personal earth anchor, keeping you tethered to the core of Mother Earth and present whilst working with the energy of Mother Earth. When it’s balanced, you feel deeply rooted and supported by the natural world.

Body Systems: Feet, legs, and skeletal system.
When it Develops: During spiritual awakening. Starts forming in utero and continues evolving as you interact with nature throughout life.
Signs It Needs Support: Feeling disconnected from nature, ungrounded, or overwhelmed or stuck in the chaos of modern life, or struggling with a lack of stability.
Signs It’s Thriving: Deeply connected to the earth, grounded, resilient, and energized by natural surroundings.
Think of this chakra as your direct hotline to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. To keep this Chakra happy, spend time in nature, or walk barefoot on the grass. Carry Smoky Quartz to stay grounded, or let Vetiver aromatherapy ground your energy.

The Solar Lunar Chakra is the dance of balance between cosmic energies where you integrate the yin (moon or lunar) and yang (sun or solar) energies within you.
