• Chakras are energy centres located throughout our body along our spine (like beads on a string).
• Chakra means “wheel”. They are like a vortex of energy that spins.

Starting from the base of the spine:

• Base Chakra – red
• 2nd Chakra – orange
• 3rd Chakra – yellow
• 4th Chakra – green or pink
• 5th Chakra – blue
• 6th Chakra – indigo/dark purple
• 7th Chakra – light purple, white or rainbow coloured (white contains all the colours of the rainbow)

• Each Chakra needs to be balanced within itself, that means it must not be too strong and overbearing but it also must not to be too weak.
• All Chakras need to be balanced amongst themselves, so they all function to their full potential and are equally strong. They are all carry equal importance.
• Chakras are responsible for our physical and mental wellbeing. Each one governs a certain area of the physical body and is also responsible for a range of emotions.
• There are many different ways to keep chakras balanced and healthy. One of them is regular yoga practice which establishes a good energy flow within the body and throughout the chakras.
• Countless meditation and visualisation processes have been designed around the chakras. Choose one your resonate with and that you really feel comfortable doing. Start simple.
