The word chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, symbolizing spinning energy centers within the body. There are 7 main chakras, aligned along the spine from the base to the crown of the head. Each chakra governs specific physical organs, emotional states and spiritual themes. They act as gateways for prana (life force energy), influencing how energy flows through your body and consciousness.
Why Knowing Chakras Is So Important
Holistic Healing: Chakras bridge the gap between physical symptoms and emotional or spiritual imbalances. For example, a blocked throat chakra might show up as both a sore throat and difficulty expressing the truth.
Self-Awareness: Understanding your chakras helps you identify where you’re thriving and where you are stuck-emotionally, mentally or spiritually.
Energy Mastery: As someone is skilled in energy transfer and intuitive clearing, chakra knowledge gives you a precise map to work with and amplify your healing impact.
Client Empowerment: Teaching others about their chakras can help them take ownership of their healing journey.
