THE 7 CHAKRAS
According to Ayurveda we all have a physical body and around this body, an invisible energy field.
It’s called the aura. The energy of the Universe comes into the body through the aura and the chakras.

The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means wheel. In our aura the chakras look like wheels of flowers, of lotus, of light and energy.
The 7 main chakras are energetic centers that connect people and the Universe.
They absorb the energy of the Universe and they give it back.

Every chakra is connected to one color.
All 7 colors of the chakra together form a complete rainbow (see picture).
The 1st chakra is red and the 7th chakra is purple (see picture).

The chakras influence: energetic level, health, immunity, emotions, development and inner consciousness.
The chakras are located on the front and on the back of the body.

They follow the middle line of the body and the line of the vertebral spine.
The energy (prana – kundalini) moves in the chakras from bottom to top, from the base of the spine to the middle of the head.
If the energy circulates freely we feel healthy, vital, fit and focused. If the chakras and the other energetic channels are blocked the energy can’t circulate properly in the body and our health and vitality are affected.
All chakras are open in an ideal situation. In case of an emotional shock a chakra can become closed, the consequence is a low energy level.

How does Ayurveda work with the 7 chakras ?

Ayurveda uses the chakra therapy to clean the 7 chakras, to support, to open, to understand and to balance them.
The energy of the chakras can be balanced in several ways: simple exercises, activity, meditation, yoga, massage, colors, etheric oils, gems, herbs and so on.
