As we are all (hopefully!) aware we have a physical body. We also have an energy body. This energy body is sometimes called an aura. In our energy body we have seven main energy centres or Chakras.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word literally meaning wheel or circle. In a deeper sense the word describes whirlpools or vortex like wheels of energy located along the central axis (spine) of our bodies.

Chakras have been known about for thousands of years they are mentioned in both ancient Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine. It is thought that a blockage in one particular chakra can manifest as physical illness if it were to remain untreated.

Each Chakra resonates with a certain energy vibration, this correlates with a particular colour, sound wave, or perfume. If a Chakra is out of balance it requires re-balancing and healing with an energy, whether that be Reiki, Colour Therapy, Crystal Therapy, Aromatherapy, or Music, or indeed combination of the above.

For example a chakra blockage could be treated with the following;

Crown Chakra, Colour – White, Crystal – Quartz, Aroma – Lavender, Sound – Note B.

Third Eye Chakra, Colour – Indigo, Crystal – Amethyst, Aroma – Basil, Sound – Note A.

Throat Chakra, Colour – Blue, Crystal – Blue Lace Agate, Aroma – Chamomile, Sound – Note G.

Heart Chakra, Colour – Green, Crystal – Aventurine, Aroma – Rose, Sound – Note F.

Solar PLexus Chakra, Colour – Yellow, Crystal – Citrine, Aroma – Peppermint, Sound – Note E.

Sacral Chakra, Colour – Orange, Crystal – Carnelian, Aroma – Jasmine, Sound – Note D.

Base Chakra, Colour – Red, Crystal – Obsidian, Aroma – Frankincense, Sound – Note C.

The above list is by no means exhaustive.

There are many ways to become in tune with your Chakras, to know when they are balanced, or require healing. Again one of the most effective ways is by visualisation.

In a quiet room, where you will not be disturbed, carry out your grounding and protection routine. Once that is complete sit somewhere comfortable with your feet firmly on the floor, and close your eyes.

Imagine energy rising up from your feet into your Base Chakra. Once it is there see your Base Chakra as a red flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your Base Chakra to your Sacral Chakra. Once it is there see your Sacral Chakra as an orange flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your Sacral Chakra to your Solar Plexus Chakra. Once it is there see your Solar Plexus as a yellow flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your Solar Plexus to your Heart Chakra. Once it is there see your heart chakra as a green flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your Heart Chakra to your Throat Chakra. Once it is there see your Throat Chakra as a blue flower.

Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your Throat Chakra to your Third Eye. Once it is there see your third eye as a purple flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Move the energy up from your third eye to your Crown Chakra. Once it is there see your Crown Chakra as a pure white flower. Watch this flower opening in your minds eye. How does this flower feel? How does it open?

Once this process is completed and you feel happy to do so, begin at your crown chakra and slowly close all the petals of the flower and repeat each process as you move down the chakras to ensure that your chakras are now closed and safe. If chakras were to remain constantly open all the time, they may become un-protected, this can result in feeling lethargic and tired. Once you have completed the process make a note in your logbook about how you felt, anything you noticed?

Chakras are integral to any form of psychic work, from healing right through to doing a reading. Your Chakras need to be clear, and your energy needs to be working freely in order for you to help others either by healing, or any other type of energy work. If blockages remain these can adversely affect your performance in whichever activity you choose to undertake.
