The term chakra means wheel, or disk. Also some translations expand this to
wheel of light.
In simplest terms a chakra is a point within the body's energy system. Another
way to define chakras is to call them points in space and time where our physical
bodies meet with metaphysical energies.
When the chakras are open, aligned, and balanced we are at our
absolute optimal levels of health. But when one or more of our
chakras become closed, unbalanced, or out of alignment we
can suffer from great discomfort and even a wide variety of
health problems.
Acupuncture, Yoga, Modern Medicine, and Quantum Physics all validate the
importance of the chakra system. Basic knowledge about the primary chakras
can greatly enhance your life and allow you to become a more effective person.
Chakra treatments have also been known to heal or relieve serious issues even
when traditional medicine has failed to do so.
The purest way to understand the chakra system is to experience it for yourself.
Having said this, obviously written and spoken guides are necessary for getting
started. This report exists to educate people on the basics of the chakra system
without confusing them in the process, and without involving any requirements
for specific religious beliefs.
The table below provides and extremely simplified introduction to the primary
chakras. To learn more about individual chakra points continue reading.

of where to find the seven main chakras
that rest along our central body meridian.

Your Base Chakra
The base chakra, or first chakra, is also called Muladhara or
padma. This point is found at the very base of your spine,
between the anus and sexual organs.
The base chakra is literally the root of your subtle energy system. The Vedics
believe energy flows into your body from the earth through this point, thus your
base is the center for true groundedness.
This important energy center regulates our overall physical harmony, or health,
and relates to the mental and emotional energies of stability, security, and
sensuality. An imbalance of your base chakra can result in lack of focus, light-
headedness, insecurity, unstable thoughts and emotions, and numerous physical
dis-eases.
A very simple way to balance and even heal your base chakra is to pay attention
to your body and practice healthy movements. Here are two easy steps toward a
vibrant, balanced base chakra.
Good Posture - Keep strong posture by holding your back straight and
imagining a steel pole running from the base of your spine to the top-center of
your skull. This will allow energy to flow freely into your root chakra and outward
along your spine.
Good posture takes work at first, but once the habit is formed you'll have more
energy and focus, and you'll be able to avoid a plethora of health issues.
Proper Breathing - Be mindful of your breathing and strive to pull the breath in
from the bottom of your lungs. Visualize your abdomenal muscles drawing the air
in deep below your belly button, holding it in a relaxed manner, and then pushing
it out from bottom to top.
With a little practice you can learn to breathe like this nearly all the time. Many
doctors call this "belly breathing", and it has been proven to be a crucial factor in
the reduction of stress and the improvement of heart health.

Physical Bliss You can also balance your root chakra by appreciating physical
bliss. Be particularly aware of the pleasant sensations of walking barefoot,
stroking the soft fur of a beloved pet, and hugging a dear friend.
Certainly taking this to the next level by indulging in a massage or treated bath
can also be helpful. Even something as simple as a scented candle can clear
minor blockages in and around your base chakra.
One of the most basic - yet powerful - techniques for opening, balancing, healing,
or empowering a chakra is the practice of color breathing. Each chakra relates to
its own specific color, making it very easy to apply this breath/visualization
exercise in an effective manner.
Before beginning, it is recommended that you use basic meditation to relax your
body and focus your mind. Once you have achieved a state of calm, centered
being, proceed with the exercise below:
Remember to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
1. Center your awareness on the base chakra, at the very bottom of your
spine.
2. Imagine this point as a deep red point of warm, glowing light.
3. Inhale deeply, and visualize the air as a thick, red cloud being pulled into
your body from your base chakra. Allow the breath to completely fill your
lungs.
4. As your lungs fill, relax and allow the breath to begin rolling evenly
outward. Continue to visualize the air as thick, red, and full of warm
energy.
5. Continue to breathe, allowing the air to fill your lungs and then roll slowly
outward.
6. Remain mindful of your base chakra as a glowing point of red energy.
7. Also be aware of your weight sinking beneath you with each passing
breath, and imagine yourself becoming physically anchored to the ground
underneath you.
Practice this color breathing for ten to twenty minutes on a regular basis and
expect your base chakra to become balanced and strong. Energy should then
flow freely up your spine into the next chakra.

Your Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra, or second chakra, is also called Svadisthana,
bhima, or the spleen and naval center. This point is found just
below your belly button, normally about 1.5 inches.
The sacral chakra relates to your emotional states and functions, as well as your
creativity and sensitivity. This center is also traditionally associated with sexual
desire and energy.
When this chakra is out of balance the results could be emotional turmoil, sexual
dysfunction, or extreme lack of motivation.
The most practical way to balance and nourish this chakra is to seek a balanced,
healthy emotional state. This might sound like a lot of work for people who are
struggling with depression and other issues, but the truth is it all begins with
loving yourself.
