It’s almost impossible to browse your social media feeds and not come across people going on about chakras. Okay. Cool. Wait, what is a chakra? Here is a brief explanation.

The word chakra quite literally is a spinning disk or wheel; a chakra on the human body is a spinning disk or wheel of energy that runs along the spine. The health of one’s chakras is directly connected to the health of the physical body, the mind, and the emotional wellbeing of a person. Each chakra corresponds to a different are of your body.

There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head. The seven chakras are the Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra and the Crown Chakra.

Practitioners believe that when their chakras are open, energy can run through them freely, and harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit.
