Chakra System
The ultimate roadmap for personal growth and self-healing.
Meet Your Chakras
A chakra is a concentration of bioenergy, associated with a particular body region, that interfaces with and distributes lifeforce. There are seven major chakras which correspond with seven essential facets of being:1
Chakra 1: Physical/Body (red) located around your tailbone
Chakra 2: Emotional/Lifeforce (orange) between pubic bone & navel
Chakra 3: Egoic/Self (yellow) just below the ribs
Chakra 4: Relational/Heart (green) center of the upper chest
Chakra 5: Creativity/Voice (blue) throat
Chakra 6: Thought/Mind (indigo) forehead
Chakra 7: Spiritual/Wisdom (violet or white) just above the crown of the head

My go-to “big book” for recovery work is the book Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self (EBWM). While there are many sources of information about the chakra system, I particularly resonate with the author, Annodea Judith and this book in particular.

Each chakra is multi-faceted and may be experienced in many ways. This list reflects my own working perception of each chakra. Important note: the chakras are interconnected and relate to each other in many directions - not just upward.
