Woo Woo 101: You Have Seven Chakras

This is the first post in a series called "Woo Woo 101."

A chakra is an emotional energy center in the body that governs the organs in a certain area. There are seven and they each have a different color. They go unseen in the relative world, though many have the gift of seeing them and Reiki healers can feel them with their hands.

Many people think chakras are some spiritual new age “woo woo,” but they are actually quite obvious, especially when you are stressed or sick.

You know how some life issues make your stomach turn, while others make your legs feel weak and then others make your chest tight. Those are your chakras. Where you feel your disturbance is not a coincidence. The world of energy medicine asserts that all physical ailments and injuries have an emotional/chakra component. Pay attention to where and why your body lights up/experiences stress and you will find a dynamic and vast world of energy.

I love chakras for many reasons, but here are the top three: First, what they stand for is totally beautiful (I get all choked up just thinking about them). I will be covering this in upcoming posts. Second, they provide incredible feedback for what is really going on for us. Our minds create all sorts of crazy stories about what is happening, but our chakras are straight up. Always in the moment and radically honest, chakras are an amazing map to a wonderful life. And third, although all beings have chakras, as I see them, they are an unambiguous portal into the divine-feminine.

So there you have it. If you think I might be onto something, do the simple and profound task of noticing the sensations in your body. See if you notice themes with certain people and situations. Simply notice.

Did any of your chakras light up while reading this? If so, why not light up other people’s chakras by passing this along. My heart chakra thanks you!
