Chakras are the circular vortexes of energy that are placed in seven different points on the spinal column, and all the seven chakras are connected to the various organs and glands within the body. These chakras are responsible for distributing the life energy, which is also known as Qi or Praana.
Whenever a chakra is disrupted or blocked, the life energy also gets blocked, potentially leading to mental and/or health issues. When the balance of the seven chakras is disrupted or blocked, it can cause problems in our lives, including our physical health, emotional health, and our mental state of mind
As we draw the energy (Prana) up from the Earth, it takes a path through our chakras and meridians, starting at the root chakra and rising up to our crown. As it flows through our major chakras, it is also spreading out throughout the body and flowing along energy channels (Nadis) to all of the minor chakras to reach every part of our being.
It's typical for most of us to have at least one, if not several of our chakras in a less than optimal state of openness and activation, which means that the energy will not flow smoothly through that chakra. Each chakra relates to a different aspect of our being and way of expressing ourselves, and therefore, as we experience different emotional and physical challenges, our chakras often reflect those energetic imbalances by becoming stagnant or clogged with energetic resistance.
