The Seven Chakras

Energy centres

Chakras are the seven main energy centres of the body, each governing different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. When these centres are open and balanced, energy flows freely — supporting health, clarity, and inner peace.

Understanding your energy body

The word chakra comes from the Sanskrit for 'wheel' or 'circle'. These spinning wheels of energy run along the spine from the base to the crown of the head. Each chakra has its own colour, element, and area of influence. Healing work — including energy healing and absent healing — can help restore balance when a chakra becomes blocked or overactive.

Red

Muladhara

Root Chakra

Location:Base of the spine·Element:Earth

The Root Chakra is the foundation of the entire chakra system. It governs our sense of safety, security, and belonging. When balanced, we feel grounded, stable, and at home in our bodies. When blocked, anxiety, fear, and a sense of disconnection from the physical world may arise.

When balanced

Feeling secure, financially stable, physically healthy, and connected to the earth.

When blocked

Fear, anxiety, restlessness, lower back pain, or a persistent sense of not belonging.

"I am safe, grounded, and supported."

Orange

Svadhisthana

Sacral Chakra

Location:Lower abdomen, just below the navel·Element:Water

The Sacral Chakra is the seat of creativity, pleasure, and emotional flow. It governs our relationships, sensuality, and capacity for joy. A balanced sacral chakra allows us to experience life fully — to feel, create, and connect with others from a place of ease.

When balanced

Creative expression, emotional fluidity, healthy relationships, and a sense of abundance.

When blocked

Emotional numbness, creative blocks, guilt, or difficulty with intimacy and pleasure.

"I embrace life with joy and creativity."

Yellow

Manipura

Solar Plexus Chakra

Location:Upper abdomen, stomach area·Element:Fire

The Solar Plexus Chakra is the centre of personal power, will, and self-esteem. It governs our sense of identity and our ability to act with confidence in the world. When this chakra is strong, we trust ourselves and move through life with purpose and clarity.

When balanced

Confidence, self-discipline, healthy boundaries, and a clear sense of purpose.

When blocked

Low self-esteem, indecision, digestive issues, or a tendency to seek external validation.

"I am confident, powerful, and worthy."

Green

Anahata

Heart Chakra

Location:Centre of the chest·Element:Air

The Heart Chakra is the bridge between the lower, earthly chakras and the higher, spiritual ones. It governs love, compassion, forgiveness, and connection — both with others and with ourselves. An open heart chakra allows us to love without conditions and to heal old wounds.

When balanced

Compassion, forgiveness, deep connection, and the ability to give and receive love.

When blocked

Grief, loneliness, bitterness, difficulty forgiving, or a sense of emotional isolation.

"I give and receive love freely and openly."

Blue

Vishuddha

Throat Chakra

Location:Throat·Element:Ether

The Throat Chakra governs communication, self-expression, and truth. It is the centre through which we give voice to our inner world — our thoughts, feelings, and authentic self. When balanced, we speak clearly and listen deeply. When blocked, we may struggle to express ourselves or feel unheard.

When balanced

Clear communication, honest self-expression, active listening, and creative voice.

When blocked

Difficulty speaking up, fear of judgement, throat tension, or a tendency to talk over others.

"I speak my truth with clarity and kindness."

Indigo

Ajna

Third Eye Chakra

Location:Centre of the forehead, between the eyebrows·Element:Light

The Third Eye Chakra is the seat of intuition, insight, and inner knowing. It governs our ability to perceive beyond the physical — to sense, dream, and understand the deeper patterns of life. A balanced third eye brings clarity of mind and a strong connection to inner guidance.

When balanced

Strong intuition, vivid dreams, mental clarity, and a sense of spiritual awareness.

When blocked

Confusion, lack of direction, headaches, difficulty trusting instincts, or overthinking.

"I trust my intuition and inner wisdom."

Violet / White

Sahasrara

Crown Chakra

Location:Top of the head·Element:Thought / Consciousness

The Crown Chakra is the highest energy centre, connecting us to universal consciousness, spiritual wisdom, and the divine. It is the gateway through which healing energy enters the body. When open, we experience a profound sense of peace, unity, and spiritual purpose.

When balanced

Spiritual connection, inner peace, a sense of purpose, and openness to divine guidance.

When blocked

Spiritual disconnection, cynicism, feelings of meaninglessness, or an inability to be present.

"I am connected to the divine light within and around me."

How healing helps

Restoring balance through energy healing

Energy healing and absent healing work gently with the chakra system, helping to clear blockages, restore flow, and bring each centre back into harmony. You do not need to be physically present — healing can be sent and received from anywhere, at any time.
