Chakras: Energy Centers and the Key to Health, Emotions, and Spirituality
Chakras are energy centers in the human body that, according to Eastern traditions such as yoga and Ayurveda, influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. There are seven main chakras located along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head.
The significance of each chakra:
Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Located at the base of the spine. It is responsible for our sense of security and stability.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – Located below the navel. It is connected to emotions, sexuality, and creativity.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) – Located in the area of the navel. It governs our willpower, self-confidence, and energy.
Heart Chakra (Anahata) – Located near the heart. It is associated with love, compassion, and relationships.
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) – Located in the throat. It is responsible for communication and expression.
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – Located on the forehead between the eyebrows. It is linked to intuition, wisdom, and inner insight.
