Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex and it refers to each of the seven energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed. Energy centers are doorways revolving between our material and spiritual selves and between the material and spiritual universes. Through modern physiology we can see that these seven chakras correspond exactly to the seven main nerve ganglia which emanate from the spinal column. Thus you can see why an imbalanced chakra can cause an outwardly physical manifestation. Not only can the chakras be related to physical areas of the body, but they also relate to emotions as well. Below is a quick chart of the chakras, their connections, lessons and what imbalances in that chakra may look like. This is most definitely not a complete list, but enough to give you an idea of what each chakra is about and the issues that may manifest physically when each chakra is imbalanced. In a Chakra Clearing session, we will balance and clear all chakras, so that they are vibrating at the correct rate/speed/rotation, clean and clear, and the correct size and color - in perfect balance and alignment.
