Have you ever felt blocked, disconnected or simply off-balance? These feelings might be signals from your body's energy centres. We uncover a path to deep inner harmony and self-discovery when we tap into the power of chakras and energy healing. In this article, we'll explore what chakras are, how they relate to our well-being and the role energy healing techniques play in aligning these energy centres. Understanding chakras can help you unlock your potential and foster a more balanced, fulfilled life.
What are chakras?
Chakras are the vital energy centres in the body, each associated with specific physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. The concept of chakras originated in ancient Indian spirituality and is an integral part of yoga, meditation and other practices. Think of these energy centres as spinning wheels, each located along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head. When these wheels are open and balanced, energy flows freely. But when they're blocked or out of alignment, we may experience discomfort.
There are seven main chakras, each with its purpose:
- Root Chakra (Muladhara) — Grounding and survival, located at the base of the spine.
- Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) — Emotions, creativity and sensuality are below the belly button.
- Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) — Self-confidence and power in the upper abdomen.
- Heart Chakra (Anahata) — Love and compassion in the centre of the chest.
- Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) — Communication and self-expression at the throat.
- Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) — Intuition and insight between the eyebrows.
- Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) — Connection to the divine, located at the top of the head.
Understanding chakras can be a powerful tool for self-care and personal growth. Each chakra corresponds to specific qualities and by focusing on them, you can address imbalances and enhance various areas of your life.
How energy healing techniques support chakra health
Energy healing is a holistic practice that aims to clear and balance the energy flow through these chakras, fostering harmony within the body, mind and spirit. There are several energy healing techniques to help keep these centres in tune, such as:
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle, noninvasive healing technique that originated in Japan. During a Reiki session, practitioners use their hands to channel energy into the body, targeting areas of imbalance or tension. By helping to clear blockages and realign chakras, Reiki promotes relaxation, reduces stress and enhances well-being.
Crystal healing
Crystals possess unique vibrational energies; when placed on or near the chakras, they can support healing and balance. For instance, putting a rose quartz crystal on the heart chakra is thought to boost feelings of love and compassion, while amethyst on the crown chakra may foster spiritual insight.
Sound healing
Sound healing utilises the power of sound vibrations, such as singing bowls, tuning forks or mantras, to balance the chakras. Each chakra resonates with a specific frequency and by listening to sounds tuned to these frequencies, you can help harmonise energy centres in the body. Sound healing is often combined with meditation for a relaxing experience.
Meditation and visualisation
Meditation can be a powerful tool to help you maintain chakra health. You can promote inner harmony by focusing your attention on each chakra and visualising healing energy flowing through. Visualisation, in particular, allows you to "see" energy clearing through each chakra, which can be calming and empowering.

This blog is about everything you need to know about the 7 Chakras
The 7 Chakras energy centers can be used as helpful tools to living your richest life, conversely not being aware of them can have the opposite effect of harming people who are unaware of them.Here is everything you need to know.
Chakras are known through Indian religions as being an energy point that are part of the spiritual body, not the physical body, and the word itself comes from the Sanskrit meaning for “wheel”. From Hindi, the chakra is translated to “wheel of spinning energy”.
Basically a chakra is where you get your energy from and its believed if you are having any problems with health or mood, tending to your chakra can cure (or at least assist) you.
There are 7 chakras, all of which need to remain balanced if we want our lives to run smoothly. If one of our chakra centres is not working properly, the others won’t function either. Some of them might even work TOO much — for example over thinking with the third eye — which is believed to affect our bodies and emotions drastically.
When are emotions are out of balance, our health becomes out of balance and that’s when illness, aches and pains occur. This is why it’s so important to know your chakras and what you can do to ensure they are all in good working order.
These are the 7 chakras, their meanings, the issues they might cause and how to fix them:
1. Root Chakra: This is located at the base of the spine and represents our feeling of remaining grounded. Emotional issues that the root chakra impacts include our financial independence, and our relationship with money and food. If there are imbalances you might experience things like fatigue, lower back pain, depression, sciatica and anaemia.
FIX — Face your fears. Take a barefoot walk or dance, deal with the fears and throw them to the wind.
2. Sacral Chakra: Located in the lower abdomen, about 2 inches below the belly button, this represents our ability to accept new experiences. Emotionally it provides a sense of abundance and pleasure. If it has any imbalance, it can result in eating disorders, depression, lower back pain, allergies, urinary problems and alcohol or drug abuse.
FIX — Figure out what it is that is bothering you and fix what can be fixed, relax if they can’t be fixed. Don’t dwell. Enjoy the things you like.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra: Located in the upper abdomen in the stomach, this chakra represents our confidence and how in control of our lives we are. Emotionally it gives us self confidence and self esteem, however if imbalanced it can lead to digestive problems, ulcers, diabetes, constipation and poor memory.
FIX — Boost your self confidence. Go for a beauty treatment or hit the gym or take up a sport.
4. Heart Chakra: This one represents our ability to love and is located in the centre of the chest, just above your heart. Emotionally it allows for inner peace, joy and love, but if it is imbalanced, it can cause chest pain, high blood pressure, immune system issues, heart or breast cancer, and heart disorders.
FIX — Hard to heal, focus on the positive things in life and appreciate what you have.
5. Throat Chakra: This chakra represents our ability to communicate with others and gives us feelings of self-expressions and a need for the truth. It is located in the throat and if off-balance can provide things like swollen glands, thyroid imbalances, flu, hyperactivity, PMS and bloating.
FIX — Be honest with yourself. Sing, write, talk. Anything that stimulates communication.
6. Third Eye Chakra: This gives us an ability to focus on and see the big picture, provides intuition, imagination, wisdom and allows us to make decisions. It’s located between the eyes on the forehead and if it is imbalanced, it can cause fevers and flu, injections, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, neck and shoulder problems, thyroid imbalances and problems with coordination.
FIX — Meditate. Do eye exercises and focus on the horizon or look at the stars. Focus on small things, like an ant crawling on the ground. Concentrate.
7. Crown Chakra: The crown is located at the very top of our head and represents our connection to spirituality. If off-balance it can lead to mental illness, headaches, brain disorders, epilepsy, skin rashes and senility.
FIX — Do more of the things that make you feel at peace, rather than focus on material things.

This blog is about Understanding the Seven Chakras Base Chakra to Crown Chakra
The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit ‘cakra’ meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘circle’ also at times referred to as the ‘wheel of life’. Some traditional sources describe the human body of possessing five or seven chakras; even others claim the presence of eight.
Knowledge of the chakras goes back to the beginning of time. The birthplace of the human race is said to have occurred in Tanzania, Central Africa, in which there is a mountain considered sacred to the country, known as Mount Meru. Myth would have it that the ‘journey of life’ is represented in this venerated Mountain in the climb from bottom to top; Root Chakra to Crown Chakra. Interestingly enough mention of ‘Mount Meru’ appears in ancient Egyptian and Indian mythology demonstrating that both these ancient cultures possessed knowledge and understanding of the chakra system as it relates to the human body.
Another primary source of chakra knowledge and teachings have been derived from the ancient Hindu scriptures ‘The Upanishads’ originally passed down through oral teachings for approximately a thousand years before being recorded in written form somewhere between 1200 – 900 BCE.
It is from Tantric Yoga that the majority of our current teachings on the human energy field have evolved. Tantric philosophy and teachings uphold a number of ancient esoteric fields including those of the Chakras, Astronomy, Astrology, Kundalini and Hatha yoga.
The last half of the 20th century has seen a re-emergence in the disciplines and practice of ancient wisdoms and teachings. Modern day research into Bio-Magnetic Fields and Resonance, and Quantum Physics’, now support and indeed verifies the efficacy of working on and within the human Bio-Magnetic as a means of healing. In fact practitioners specialising in Energy/Chakra work on the premise that all ill health is initially identified in the individual’s energy field, prior to its’ actual physical manifestation.
The benefits of a regular ‘energetic tune-up’ would appear to be a worthwhile exercise for all aspects of health. These energy centres are located in a straight line between the head and the feet. They are responsible for our physical, mental and spiritual functioning. Any blockage in either of them could lead to impaired mental, physical or spiritual functioning.
