How Ayurveda Can Help You Balance Body Chakras?

What are the Seven Chakras?

1. The root chakra, also known as Muladhara in Sanskrit, is the first and major chakra and is said to be positioned at the base of your spine. It is associated with the color red as well as the element earth. The root chakra is supposed to influence how you interact with the world and regulate sentiments of survival, ambition, reliance, and stability.

As the major source of energy, its imbalance can cause emotions of profound anxiety and uncertainty, which can undermine your will to achieve, resulting in feelings of dissatisfaction and a lack of purpose. It is said that when the root chakra is balanced, it creates emotions of stability, optimism, vitality, independence, and power.

2. The Svadhisthana Chakra, located beneath the navel, emits the color orange and represents the element water. The sacral chakra is said to be in charge of sexuality, creativity, intuition, self-worth, compassion, and adaptability. It is believed that when the sacral chakra is unstable, it causes emotional outbursts and a lack of creativity.

3. Manipura, the Sanskrit term for the solar plexus chakra, means “city of jewels,” and it is said to be located between the ribs and the navel. It is yellow in color and associated with the fire element. Those who believe in chakras say that the solar plexus chakra is the center of self-esteem and emotions such as ego, rage, and violence.In the human body, the negative effects of it show themselves as digestive difficulties, liver problems, or diabetes.

On an emotional level, an unbalanced solar plexus chakra is said to create feelings of sadness and poor self-esteem. When it is balanced, it becomes a source of energy, productivity, and self-assurance.

4. The heart chakra is thought to be located in the midst of the circulatory system, connected to organs such as the heart and lungs. The heart chakra links the lower to the upper chakras. It has the color green and the element air.

The heart chakra is said to be connected to compassion, trust, passion, and love for oneself and others. Anger, lack of trust, anxiety, jealousy, fear, and moodiness are said to result from an out-of-balance Anahata Chakra. High blood pressure, heart palpitations, and cardiac issues are considered to result from an overworked heart chakra.

5. The throat chakra, Vishuddha, is supposed to influence the neck, mouth, tongue, and other areas of the throat. The throat chakra is blue in color and ether in element. The throat chakra is associated with self-expression, communication, and self-assurance.

Balancing the throat chakra is said to control hormone flow and aid in the good expression of inner ideas.

6. The third eye, also known as the Ajna chakra, is located between the brows. The color indigo represents the third eye, which has no elemental affinity. The third eye chakra, which is often utilized as a focal point in asana practice, is said to regulate your intellect, intuition, knowledge, and spiritual strength.An open and balanced third eye chakra, according to this belief system, allows you to discover the connections in this world and beyond.

A headache, migraine, or blurry vision are thought to be symptoms of an underactive third eye chakra. When the third eye is balanced, it is said to liberate you from earthly ties.

7. The crown chakra which is known as the Sahastra is supposed to be located at the top of one’s head and it is usually considered to be the highest of all seven primary chakras.

The color of the crown chakra is violet or white. This chakra, often known as the “thousand petal lotus,” is considered the most spiritual of the core chakras. Since the crown chakra is associated with spirituality, enlightenment, and energy thinking, it is usually assumed that the opening of the same connects someone to their higher self.

It is also linked to inner wisdom and the cosmos. When the crown chakra is out of balance, it is said to impact despair, separation from the outer world, frustration, and destructive emotions.
