Chapter Five

The Chakras

Chakras, what are they? What do they do? Why do they seem so important? How do I start taking care of my chakras? What will it mean when I do start taking care of my chakras? These may be some of the questions swirling around within your mind. Starting that mind chatter, within.
OK Stop, deep breath. Relax.

Chakras - Chakra- Sanskrit word for Wheel. These are wheels of energy within self. There are many Chakras within the body and Aura. This chapter we will begin with the first seven chakras and also include a couple of the minor chakras that will help with your psychic development. There are many specialist Chakra books and meditations that will help with understanding and learning so much more about Chakras and how they can help in moving you forward. Many healing modalities work with the Chakras. So, please do further research and study.

The First Seven Chakras

Base, Root Chakra- This is Red in colour. When this chakra is balanced you are able to cope with everyday situations more easily. The energy, vitality is balanced. The fight and flight response enables you to deal with situations that arise in a calm way. Making you feel secure in different areas of your life.

Sacral Chakra -Orange in colour. This is about our self-sufficiency and our relationships with others. Our own sensuality needs to be balanced to enable us to grow in our relationships on all levels.

Solar Plexus Chakra - Bright yellow when functioning perfectly within. Watch your allergens to foods, environment, and chemicals. This is about your gut instinct. This also includes the connection between your heart and your sacral Chakra. Each Chakra has a ripple effect on the one below it and the one above it. This can in turn bring all the chakras out of balance.

Heart Chakra- Green, Emerald Green. This is about opening your heart, not just to others but also to yourself, Mother Earth and the Universe. This is about allowing self to heal on many levels. This opens new doorways to new possibilities. Not being closed off. But also be aware of giving too much of self, being too open to trying to please others without taking
care of own needs. Healers, on all levels, need to make sure their heart Chakra is cleared and balanced at all times. (Working with the Archangels can assist in this.)


Throat Chakra-Turquoise, Light Blue. Being able to communicate, use self-expression, but also not to always over talk, talk too much. Do you find your throat feels sore? Choked up? Do you always keep things within and never share your thoughts, opinions? Work with Archangel Michael in speaking your personal truth.

Third Eye, Brow Chakra -Indigo-dark Blue, Purple. Includes intuition and dream recall. Third eye is related to clairvoyance. This includes seeing Images, pictures, photos, seeing of Spirit. Trusting the images you see within self. I find, for me personally to use a dimmer switch so this is not permanently too open. Turn the switch slightly when working with your third eye.

Crown Chakra- Purple or White. Brings about a Divine awareness. Universal Knowledge. Bringing the messages through your Crown Chakra to a Universal knowing. Claircogniscent.


Minor Chakras.

Feet- Soles- keep you grounded... Head out of the clouds. Walk on the grass in bare feet. On Mother Earth allows you to feel grounded, balanced. Secure.

Hand Chakras- Activate your hand chakras through rubbing them together. Or visualize symbols or colours within your palms. Healers work with their hand chakras when doing hands off-hands-on healing.

Ear Chakras-Clairaudience, hearing within from the Spirit Realm. Truly hearing what is going on around you on many levels. Selective hearing. What is being blocked from being heard? What are you not listening to? What do you not want to hear? Clear by working with a clear quartz crystal.
