Chakras – Your Personal Broadcast

Energy healing is well documented. If you believe in subtle energy, like prayer or love, then you may have experienced its effect on your physical well-being. Chakras are centers of consciousness. Chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit. When we speak of the Chakra system, we are referring to the energy centers that connect our physical and spiritual energy. Chakras play a vital role in the way we function and are focal points of energy which have a direct impact on our daily lives.

All of life is energy. Because energy acts like magnets, we attract vibrations to ourselves that are on the same wavelength as the Chakra from which we are operating. Knowingly or unknowingly, people, situations and experiences are drawn to us by the vibrations we project.

Every moment the energy is flowing to us and extending out of us in the form of thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. This energy is like debris that accumulates around our energy centers, blocking the flow of light and energy through our body’s natural system. When these Chakras are blocked and energy channels are clogged, a person can experience fatigue, emotional imbalances and other health problems. If the Chakras are open and flowing, we feel vibrant, energetic, balanced, positive, joyful and creative.

There are seven major energy centers that exist in our energy body and extend outward in our Aura (subtle energy field that surrounds the physical body). Each Chakra has its own color, location and rate of vibration and performs a specific function for its owner, and can affect you in a specific way when it is either under or overactive. When we understand how these centers work, we can work with them to bring our body, mind and emotions back into balance. Our body’s seven energy centers are the gateways to our spiritual self. True healing can only take place once we awaken our spiritual self.
