There are seven chakras in your main body and there are four in the upper part that work with your mental health and then the other three are found in the lower part of the body. The lower ones are there to make you have strong instincts.
Here are the seven chakras:
- Root chakra or Muladhara.
- Sacral chakra or Svadhisthana.
- Solar Plexus chakra or Manipura.
- Heart chakra or Anahata.
- Throat chakra or Vishuddha.
- Third Eye chakra or Ajna.
- Crown chakra or Sahasrara.
When the chakras are balanced, they are working correctly but when they are unbalanced, they are how they were when you were born. You want your chakras to be balanced.
Balancing the Root Chakra
When the root chakra is unbalanced, it can mean you are insecure, and you aren’t stable. When opened, it can mean that you are connected with your body, and you trust others.
People that have an under-active root are nervous and have fear and an overactive one means that you are greedy, and you want to have more things. Use yoga to balance your root chakra.
