Chakras are the center of activity in a body – the center that produces the life force energy. The word Chakra means wheel, or disk, and it is referred to as a spinning sphere of energy.
We have six Chakras which are sited along the spine and a seventh which is located above these, floating above the physical aspect of your body.
While we understand these Chakras as energy, you need to understand that these seven Chakras influence your body.
Having your Chakras in the proper alignment will also keep your physical, mental and spiritual health in good condition.
Muladhara
The Muladhara is the chakra of the lower body. It is the root chakra, or the base chakra. This chakra is related to security, to survival, and to instinct. Also, it is related to the potentiality of the basic human life. The center of this chakra is located between the anus and the genitals of a person.
This is the Chakra believed to be influential on the adrenal glands, producing the fight or flight response and other primal behaviors.
Swadhisthana
The Swadhisthana is the reproductive Chakra and corresponds to the genitals. Also known as the sacral Chakra, this is the Chakra which controls your sexuality and the creative impulse.
This is the Chakra which controls the sex hormones as well. This Chakra also is responsible for mood swings, It’s symbol is a six-petal lotus.
