Within every one of us lies a sacred system that aligns to connect our mind, body, and spirit. Many of you have probably heard or know a little bit about this system, the Chakra System. The term chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel” or “circle.” They are the energy centers of the body and they run upwards from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each of the seven chakras have their own energy, color, element, symbol, aroma, and many other characteristics. They can explain so many aspects of who we are by giving insight to our physical, emotional, and/or psychological disorders.

What Are the 7 Chakras?

You may have a sense of repression and disconnection to the senses if it is out of balance.
