A chakra, also known as a center or focal point, is a psychic center in the body that regulates different aspects of our existence. Every human being has seven energy centers that are called chakras. When we receive love, kindness, and blessings from our divine source, a lot of these positive energies spin around and fill us with joy. However, when we don’t receive the same amount of love and blessings from our source or when negativity fills us up and we don’t know how to expel it, the negative energies shorten and contract into the chakras. These negative energies blockages may cause physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and stress.
There are 7 chakras in our body:
- Root Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Solar Plexus Chakra
- Heart Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Crown Chakra
