Hi,
I'm Lindsay Simmons.
I'm an intuitive Reiki master and a sound healer and I wanted to talk to you about the chakras because they are very important energetically speaking and for my work they're really important.
So there's seven that we're going to discuss today.
These are the dominant ones.
These are the ones that are most often referenced when we talk about the chakras.
Now,
Just so you know,
There are chakras above your body and below your body.
So there's a lot to the chakra system.
I'm going to oversimplify it here.
So first,
Your root chakra is at the base of your spine.
Usually you'll see this one as the color red,
And the chakras themselves spin like wheels.
So the root chakra is all about your connection to earth,
To being grounded,
And that's your family grounds you,
That's your career.
It's the support and the safety that you feel or don't feel,
As the case may be.
So if you had a difficult childhood,
If you have financial issues,
If you don't feel supported by your community,
These are the things that could be off in the root chakra.
So,
And when we talk about off,
I want you to know that the goal of a chakra is to be balanced.
It's to be harmonized,
Okay?
And the second chakra that we'll talk about is the sacral chakra,
And that's about one inch above your pubic bone.
And this is your center of creativity and sexuality,
And it's usually shown as an orange color.
The next chakra is your solar plexus chakra.
It's yellow,
Usually in color,
And this is your,
I call it gas pedal,
Your willpower,
Your determination,
Your passion,
Your purpose,
Your drive.
And then above that,
Now you move into the heart chakra.
The heart chakra is normally green,
And it's the color,
Or it's the color green,
And it's about compassion and joy.
And then you move into the throat chakra.
This is blue.
And this is about your voice,
Your truth,
And your authenticity.
And then you move into the Ajna chakra,
Which is your third eye.
This is your intuition,
Wisdom.
Then you go into the crown chakra,
And this is usually purple,
And this is your connection to the cosmic divine.
So that's the chakra system,
The seven predominant chakras,
And your goal is to have them balanced and harmonized,
A constant flow,
A circular wheel moving in and out the back and the front of the body.
So for the heart,
For example,
I often talked about it being like a lightsaber of green energy going out the front and the back.
You can do the same with the solar plexus.
And of course,
There are reasons for imbalances,
And they're natural.
Through phases in our lives where things are more predominantly focused.
So for example,
When I'm doing Reiki on people,
A lot of times if they're being a caregiver at this moment in time in their life,
They are heart wide open,
Solar plexus quiet.
And so that balance isn't there.
So it's just this giving,
Giving,
Caregiving energy,
And not a lot of this passion,
Purpose,
Drive.
That's quiet.
Also,
Ajna Chakra,
So if I'm seeing a Reiki client and she has a lot of anxiety,
I'll see that Ajna Chakra mainly as an exit and not allowing divine cosmic wisdom into her Ajna Chakra.
So these are kind of just interesting ways to understand the chakras,
The energy centers of the body.
And there's so much more to learn about them,
But here's a little preview.
And if you're interested,
Go ahead and check out.
Lots of meditations here on insight timer,
But I have one called harmonizing the chakras I hope I get to meditate with you soon.
