Okay. Let’s get one thing out of the way first: the word “chakra” might conjure up images of incense, crystal shops, or someone telling you to drink more moon water. If that’s your thing, no judgment because I enjoy my incense and crystals too.
But what if chakras weren’t mystical fluff… but practical tools? What if understanding your energy system could actually help you feel more like yourself — more steady, more aligned, more awake — without needing to climb a mountain or sit in silence for three hours?
That’s what we’re talking about here.
So what are chakras, really?
The word “chakra” comes from Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “disc.” It refers to spinning centres of energy in the body — kind of like emotional and energetic switchboards.
There are seven main chakras that run from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each one relates to a different aspect of your life, your body, and your personal evolution.
They’re not physical organs. You won’t find them on an X-ray. But anyone who’s ever felt a lump in their throat during an argument (Throat Chakra), or butterflies before speaking up (Solar Plexus), or a deep ache for connection (Heart Chakra) has already felt them in action.
Chakras are your internal GPS for:
- Emotional balance
- Physical wellbeing
- Mental clarity
- Spiritual growth
When they’re balanced, you feel like yourself. When they’re out of alignment, things get wobbly. That’s not magic. That’s energy. (But it can feel like magic.)
Why bother learning about chakras?
Because the modern world can be overwhelming. Fast. Disconnected. Loud.
Your chakra system offers a map. It shows you where you’re leaking energy, where you’re blocked, where you’re overcompensating, and where you might need some TLC.
It’s about finding a way forward that feels better, about awareness — and having tools to work with your body and energy, not against it.
Recently I asked a group of people what it means to be human. Most of the group agreed that ‘being human’ means not being perfect. Engaging in experiences fully. Expressing emotion. Feeling deeply. Caring for others.
All of these are made simpler when we use the chakra system. This means
- Noticing , awareness
- Taking simple actions
We will show you how in this Chakra blog series.
Here’s a look at the seven chakras:
🔴 Root (Muladhara) – Safety, survival, grounding
🟠 Sacral (Svadhisthana) – Emotion, creativity, pleasure
🟡 Solar Plexus (Manipura) – Confidence, boundaries, personal power
💚 Heart (Anahata) – Love, compassion, connection
🔵 Throat (Vishuddha) – Truth, expression, communication
🟣 Third Eye (Ajna) – Intuition, clarity, inner vision
⚪ Crown (Sahasrara) – Spirituality, oneness, divine connection
Each of these has its own energy, its own medicine, and its own language. It’s not about ‘believing’ in anything as much as just working with your body in a way that is easy.
You already have access to all of them. It’s already inside you.
The Chakra Series You Didn’t Know You Needed
We’ll be sharing a blog series that dives into each chakra — one by one — in real human terms. Not as theory, but as living energy you can work with.
Expect:
- Simple yoga and meditation tips
- Practical lifestyle support
- Journal prompts
- Insights from working with real humans who are healing and evolving every day
This isn’t about perfect alignment, it’s about remembering who you are.
And if your nervous system’s been asking for some kind of map, the chakra system might just be it.
Stay tuned. We’re going on a journey, from Root to Crown.
And I promise, no moon water required (unless you’re into that).
See you in the next post!
