What are chakras and how will understanding them improve your life?

In this series, we are exploring the significance and power of the 7 major chakras, one at a time.

Everyone has chakras. Chakras represent different energy centers throughout our body. Each chakra are associated with specific colors and energies. Though there are separate chakras, all chakras work together to create a balance of energies that affect your everyday life on a mental, physical, and energetic level (your mind, body, and spirit).

Gaining an understanding of each chakra helps you to become attuned with yourself. This strengthens your inner voice and allows you to be able to recognize whether you are emotionally on or off track so that you can rebalance yourself and make adjustments as needed.

Spirituality and astrology are interrelated. This series will detail how they connect so that you can more easily understand and incorporate these elements into your life and experience the positive changes it can bring!

In part 7, we are diving into the 7th chakra called the CROWN CHAKRA!

This is the last of the seven chakras and is located at the crown of your head.

This chakra is represented by the color PURPLE or WHITE and is connected to the planet JUPITER.

Your CROWN CHAKRA is your SPIRITUALITY.

This chakra is connected to all things that represent connecting to your higher self, your soul, the Universe, and knowledge.

Your CROWN chakra needs to be nourished if you experience:

• feelings of isolation

• headaches

• nervous breakdown

• feeling ungrounded

• depression

• dissociation with your body

• overly intellectualizing/”know it all”

• lack of inspiration

• spiritual crisis

Your CROWN chakra is kept balanced by:

• Carrying crystals/stones such as: Selenite, Celestite, Lapis Lazuli, and Pink Calcite

• Mediation

• Learning something new that challenges your mind (e.g. a new language)

• Yoga

• Self study of other spiritual practices

• Eliminating alcohol consumption
