Firstly, what are chakras?
Chakras are spiritual energy centers within your body that represent your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. In Sanskrit, the word chakra literally means wheel or disc. We have thousands of chakras spread all throughout our bodies and even outside of our physical bodies. There are many different chakra systems that people choose to work with. The most standard and popular is the 7 chakra system.
These 7 chakra points are located along the column of your spine. They go all the way from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, together they create an upward and downward current of energy. Therefore, if one of your chakras is blocked, the energy can no longer flow freely. Chakras can also be under or overactive.
Each of the seven chakras represents different aspects of your life and also affect different organs and glands. The lower the chakra is located in our body, the more physical it is and the higher the chakra is situated in our body the more spiritual it is. Measuring your chakras will give you insight into the health of your energy centers.
