Little Chakra Handbook

The Chakras, your energy centers
The term "charka" comes from Sanskrit and it means wheel or
circle. In fact, the chakras are often displayed as opening
flowers and they are arranged along the spine where each opens
its petals facing both front and back of the body with an
exception in the first and last chakra that connect us to heaven
and earth.
From ancient Eastern traditions the chakras are considered
responsible for distributing different qualities of life force (also
known as prana, chi, ki) in the body. Thus, the chakras are your
centers of power and they fully support the different physical
and spiritual areas within you. As we can see, each chakra plays
different roles and yet each one has diverse correspondences
with plants, gemstones, sounds, colors, and other related
practices. The chakras can be in balance, exalted or slow.
Obviously, the ideal is to pursue the total harmony of the whole
system. Our body with its sacred wisdom will always do its best
to provide with its optimal results. We can honor and perform
constructive practices to empower our experience in resonance
with our inner essence. The seven main chakras are located as
follows:

Listening to the voice of your colors

You're like a moving rainbow sharing your colors with all the
vibrations of the Universe. By letting your light shine, your
energetic prism rises dissolving any sense of blockage. Listen to
your body language; contemplate, observe, feel, and decipher
what your holy body temple wants to tell you. Every sign is a
message. For example, pain is actually a virtue that is used to
notify us that we should pay attention to something and release
some issues to heal. Listen. The chakras also have a way to
express themselves and to understand them better we can take
specific actions to balance them. There are many paths to
wellness: learn, create, and inquire! Appreciate the wonderful
microcosms of your body and cherish it because it is the vehicle
that helps you in this life to do the things you desire. Remember
we can always give us a healthier lifestyle in body, mind and
spirit. You can start right now by simply having the sincere
intention of wanting to do so. How powerful you are! Take
action. Your essence is infinite light! Let's go ahead

The

seven
major
chakras:
correspondences,
characteristics and holistic tools for your wellbeing.
There are seven major chakras. There are others as well, but
this system conforms a complete and effective energy circuit.
That is why we will rely on it. The next section focuses on the
characteristics, correspondences and holistic practices that
relate to each chakra. It is of utmost importance at all times that
we always listen to our inner voice as it guides us to the
awareness and the choice of tools that best resonate with our
current walk. Remember that your intuition gives you unique
information and it is your mission to choose what suits you
best.. Maybe you will find pleasant to listen to music with a
relating tonality or create jewelry with stones and colors ... you
decide and everything is positive.
