If you're new to our Chakra energy system or energetic system, you're in for a wonderful journey of self-exploration and empowered energy healing. This dates way back to ancient India in Hinduism and later got introduced into Buddhism. The word "chakra" means "wheel" or "disk" in Sanskrit, and it refers to these energy centres in our body. This chakra system knowledge was found in old Indian texts from around 1,500 BC, and then it became very much integrated in yoga practices. These energy points or centres keep your life energy, or "prana," flowing smoothly throughout your body, which is super important for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being and each corresponding to different aspects of our lives.
Take a look at a brief summary of each Chakra below, where they're located in our energy body, their colour, foods & crystals that help balance them, blocked issues, unblocked benefits, affirmations and sound frequencies to help heal.
I'll update this article as the weeks go by, as now we're on week 5 of the 8-week Energy cleanse Challenge, that you are more than welcome to join for free.
