For centuries, people have observed their bodies through a physical and spiritual lens, noting how energy feels at various portals in the body. The language, imagery, and foundations we use to describe these energetic points are rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. Still, these concepts can be found across many esoteric practices in many cultures that, through modernization, we've disconnected from. There are 7 primary chakras:
Root Chakra (Muladhara): Base of spine
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Lower abdomen
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Upper abdomen
Heart Chakra (Anahata): Center of the chest
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Throat
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Forehead, between the eyes
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Top of the head
If you're just beginning your spiritual journey, discovering the seven chakras is an excellent place to start. These energy centers help balance your physical, emotional, and spiritual body. Think of the chakras as distinct gateways to growth; you don’t need to try to master them all at once. Start by learning the basics and focus on one chakra at a time. Your intuition and energy flow will naturally deepen as you tune into each one.
