Many people are becoming aware of the Eastern concept of Chakras. Cleaning and energising your chakras is a powerful way of attaining inner peace, improving your health, heightening your spirituality and expanding your consciousness. Your MindSpa can help you with this.

Chakras are energy centres – vibrating forms of cosmic light. We have seven major chakras that radiate out from different points along the spine, forming a vertical axis from the base of the spine to the top of the head. They provide a pathway that can carry us from the individual and personal realms of consciousness to the spiritual universal domains.

Each chakra vibrates at different frequency and is associated with a different colour.The first three chakras are our personal chakras The red root chakra is located at the base of your spine. The sacral chakra is found halfway between your navel and the base of your spine and appears as orange. The solar plexus chakra is bright yellow and is right behind your navel.

The fourth major chakra is the heart chakra located in the centre of the chest. It’s green in colour and represents the beginning of the upper chakras which correspond to universal and spiritual issues.

As it’s name suggests, the blue throat chakra is located in the throat area. The sixth chakra is known as the Third Eye and is in the brow between the two eyes. It radiates with a mixture of indigo and purple light. Finally, at the top of your head is the Crown chakra which is associated with either violet or pure white.

The chakras can profoundly affect your body, mind and spirit. It is through the chakras that these aspects of your being are connected and can be aligned and balanced. If the chakras become blocked, then you may experience sickness and other mental and physical difficulties.

There are many ways that you can ensure that your chakras remain clear and free-flowing with energy. Exercise and a good diet are important for the lower, personal chakras. And living a moral, well-intentioned life will benefit the higher, spiritual chakras. It’s also important to concentrate on positive rather than negative thoughts.

Meditation using your MindSpa is a great way to cleanse, energise and balance your chakras. There are many visualisation and breathing exercises you can do during a session with your MindSpa to revitalise and unblock your chakras. It’s worth finding out more about chakras so that you can benefit from the many physical, mental, emotional and spiritual advantages that they can bring you.
