The 7 major chakras are part of Indian culture and even if we always talk about the most important ones, there are around 88,000 chakras. Their energies create an aura around our body which establishes harmony and balance between body, soul, and spirit.
This second article focusing on the chakras will allow you to deeper understand the role of each chakra. What happens when there is and when there is no balance?
Furthermore, for all seven chakras, there are some specific meanings, characteristics, and connections which were not expressed in the previous article. Together, we will discover more details.
Let is see
three little key informations:
- When there is balance it means that the energy of the chakra flows properly, with no obstacles;
- We say that the chakra is blocked when it is not stimulated enough;
- We say that the chakra is too active or hyperactive when there is too much importance accorded to a specific chakra and it is overstimulated.
The chakra that establishes a foundation causes depression or anxiety if it is blocked. When it is too active, instead, it might be at the origins of paranoias and greed. But when in balance, it should spread confidence, security, and protection.
