The word “chakras,” a key component in the complete guide for 7 chakras, means “energy center” or “wheel” in Sanskrit, and is a reference to the chakra, which is a rotating, spherical energy center. In a person who is in perfect health, the chakras collaborate to produce life force energy. A balanced chakra system is advantageous to the body, mind, and spirit. Each chakra has a unique symbol, color, and significance, and was developed between 1500 and 500 BC in India. The Shri Jabala Darshana Upanishad, Cudamini Upanishad, Yoga-Shikka Upanishad, and Shandilya Upanishad all include references to chakras, or ‘cakra’ as mentioned in them. The Indo-European people, often known as the Aryans, conveyed the chakra system orally through an oral tradition.

The human body has a total of seven chakras. They extend all the way up to the top of your head from the end of your spinal cord. Each chakra is special and has a specific purpose for your body’s overall health. The root chakra is red, the sacral chakra is orange, the solar plexus is yellow, the heart is green, the neck is blue, the third-eye is indigo, and the crown is violet. Purple has the greatest spiritual light vibration and the highest visible vibration in the inner world.

1. Root Chakra (Muladhar-chakra)

Color – Red; Element – Earth 

According to folklore and mythology, the root chakra, which is pictured as a red spinning “lotus” at the base of the spine, is patriarchal because it draws energy from the earth through chakras in our feet and distributes it to the other chakras in our body. It is composed of earth. Our physical health, sense of security (financial, economic, or otherwise), and sense of physical presence in the world are all a result of it.

2. Sacral Chakra (Swadhishthan-chakra)

Color – Orange; Element – Water 

The sacral chakra, or second chakra, is a bright orange lotus located next to our nether regions (genitalia). It is thought to be the location of our bodies’ subconscious minds. It is in charge of a complete gratification of amorousness. Because it is a feminine chakra, it collects energy from the root and the environment around it as opposed to sending energy outward. It is in charge of maintaining our emotional health.

3.Solar-Plexus Chakra (Manipur-chakra)

Color – Yellow; Element – Fire 

The yellow solar-plexus chakra is found in the area of our abdominal section. Your will and confidence come from there. Someone who professes to “know who they are” has a firm and healthy solar plexus. On the other hand, if someone feels that “they don’t know who they are,” then this chakra is either wounded or weak. A healthy solar-plexus chakra is characterized by responsibility, accountability, and the capacity to meet obstacles head-on. This chakra is linked to creativity and sensuality. This energy center’s main purpose is to make life enjoyable in general and to provide pleasure.

4.Heart Chakra (Anahat-chakra)

Color – Green; Element – Air 

The fourth chakra connects the bottom three and higher three chakras. It represents the heart chakra. We are now moving away from the more obvious parts of consciousness, such as our bodily and emotional health and our feeling of volition. Our gateway to the divine is the heart. It is the epicenter of unwavering love and the location of our soul—our higher existence—within the physical body. A person who has a weak or blocked heart chakra feels existentially alone, unhappy, unloved or uncared for. Unconditional love, forgiveness, and a sense of a greater purpose in life are all signs of a healthy heart chakra.

Benefits

• Increases the understanding of all forms of love, including love and devotion and the acceptance of one’s actual self.
• Enables the releasing of old grudges and the opening up to love, forgiveness, kindness, and compassion.
• Raises the level of closeness in relationships.
• Overcomes past traumatic and abusive experiences.

5.The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha-chakra)

Color – Blue; Element – Space

The throat chakra is the fifth. After the third chakra, we leave the realm of the coarse and go into the realm of etheric energy, which is related to incredibly delicate facets of both individual and collective awareness. This energy exists outside of the physical sphere. The throat chakra, which is blue, is where one may express oneself. Anyone who has the power to affect your thoughts or emotions through their words (spoken or written) has a strong, healthy throat chakra, including singers, well-known public speakers, and performers. Instead, if you experience difficulty expressing your genuine self to others or if your voice becomes raspy or weak, you may have a weak throat chakra.

Benefits

• Helps you speak with insight, wisdom, and clarity.
• Increases self-assurance to aid in speaking bravely and compassionately, and increases openness to hearing and listening to others.
• Express your thoughts, feelings, and opinions in a straightforward manner.
• Encourages you to be honest with yourself and to act consistently in accordance with that honesty as a road to enlightenment.

6.The Third-Eye Chakra (Adnya-chakra)

Color – Indigo; Element – None 

The third-eye chakra is situated in the head region, between the two eyes, and next to the forebrain. It is directly related to your mind. Indigo is the hue of this chakra. It serves as the “command center” of your energy system and correlates to the brain, which serves as our biological command center. Scholars gathering information and scientists researching and creating to learn the truth about something both have active third-eye chakras. The third eye is concerned with learning the truth, whereas the throat chakra is concerned with communicating it. It serves as the hub of intuition and understanding.

Benefits

7. The Crown Chakra (Sahasrar-chakra)

Color – Violet/White; Element – None 

The crown chakra is the last and most enigmatic of all. According to certain faiths, the reason we are here is to connect our thoughts and other chakras with this one so that energy may flow to it freely. It stands for our link to universal law and higher intellect. Higher intelligence drives a person through the crown chakra when they suddenly and irrationally feel inspired to relocate to a different city, believing sincerely that it will lead to a better life.In fact, they move and do enjoy a better life.
