CHAKRA FUNCTION

Below is information about each of the 7 Major Chakras. There are actually 114 energy
centers in the complex human body; in addition to the 114 chakras, it also has 72,000
“nadis,” or energy channels, along which vital energy, or “prana,” moves.

This shows how to recognize distortions and blockages in each chakra related to any
problems you may be experiencing. (Please note: You may experience one or more
challenges listed for each category.)

The 7 Major chakras are:

7 Crown -
6 Brow / third eye -
between the two eye brows
5 Throat -
4 Heart - center of your chest
3 Solar Plexus - above navel
2 Sacral - (
1 Root -

TOO OPEN (chakra spins too fast and large)

BLOCKED (chakra spins sluggishly and small)
BALANCED (chakra maintains equilibrium and spins at correct vibrational speed)

When the Chakras are all properly balanced, your level of spiritual awareness is
greater. When they are off balance or blocked, it can cause physical and emotional
illness. You can obtain good health and well-being through Chakra Therapy. This type
of healing brings about balance on an energy level.

The state of the Chakras influence all of our organs. Behind every ailment lies a
problem with the flow of energy. Restoring the flow of energy will pave the way to a
better physical, mental, and spiritual state of being.
