7 Chakras In The Human Body That Receive And Radiate The Life Force

Our 7 chakras, affect our daily lives, even although we may be completely unaware of their function.

The interchange of energies amongst the power centers with interconnecting channels within the aura has a direct impact upon our psychic development. Any blockages will therefore inhibit our psychic perception and limit the free flow of intuitive thought. As such understanding what and where the chakras are can be key to developing your psychic powers, healing, and the effectiveness of your prayers.

Tuning into your seven chakras also offers numerous benefits for your overall well-being. Emotionally, it helps regulate feelings, reduce mood swings, and promote inner peace and self-acceptance. Physically, balanced chakras can enhance vitality, improve sleep quality, and support immune function. Mentally, chakra alignment strengthens focus, clears mental fog, and encourages mindfulness, helping you make better decisions. It also improves communication and relationships by fostering openness, empathy, and deeper connections with others. Additionally, tuning into your chakras boosts confidence, motivation, and self-esteem, allowing you to overcome fears and embrace personal growth. Creativity and intuition flourish as you connect with your inner wisdom, enabling greater artistic expression and instinctive decision-making. Spiritually, chakra work deepens your sense of purpose, strengthens your connection to the universe, and fosters a peaceful, harmonious outlook on life. 

When asked what the 7 chakras are Anodea Judith, an American chakra expert, describes them as psychic energy centers:

  • "A center of activity that receives, assimilates and expresses life force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetics activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. Generally, six of these wheels are described, stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead, the seventh lying beyond the physical world. It is the six major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness"

Susan Shumsky, an expert in all matters spiritual, answers this question about what our chakras are as:

  • "Each chakra in your spinal column is believed to influence or even govern bodily functions near its region of the spine. Because autopsies do not reveal chakras, most people think they are a fancy of fertile imagination. Yet their existence is well documented in the traditions of the Far East"

The psychic energy centers connected within the spinal area are of great importance. These major chakras form a crucial part of what and who we are. They tune into different energy frequencies, which can be increased and developed helping you to realise higher levels of consciousness.

What Are The 7 Chakras And How Do They Work?

What are the 7 chakras?
  • These psychic power centers, or energetic vortexes in the aura of the human body, pull spiritual energy into you and send it back out. On subtle levels they define how we interact with people and the world around us, and can affect your emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.

Where are the 7 chakras located?
  • There are seven major psychic centers found in the human aura. These 7 chakras are located in areas along the spinal column as follows. (#7) The crown chakra is at the very top of your head. (#6) The third eye chakra is located in your forehead area, just above and between your eyes.  (#5) The location of your throat chakra speaks for itself. (But I sense it as ears, nose and throat.)  (#4) The heart chakra spins within the central chest area in line with your own heart. (#3) Your solar plexus chakra is to be found (a little above midway) between your heart line and your belly button. (#2) The sacral chakra is located midway between your belly button and your crotch. (#1) Your root chakra is at the base of your spinal column - at the back side of your crotch.
