 Your Body’s Energy Centers

Ever felt emotionally off-balance, creatively blocked, or just plain “not yourself”? It might be your chakras! These powerful energy centers influence every part of your being—from your sense of safety and self-worth to your ability to love, speak your truth, and connect spiritually.

In this post, we're diving deep into the seven main chakras: what they are, how they affect your life, and how to keep them healthy and balanced (yep, crystals included).

 What Exactly Are Chakras?

"Chakra" means “wheel” in Sanskrit. These spinning wheels of energy run from the base of your spine to the crown of your head, and they affect your physical health, emotions, and even your spiritual outlook.

Each chakra has:

• A unique location

• A specific color

• An element (like earth, fire, or air)

• Its own energy and theme

• Common symptoms when balanced or blocked
