The 7 Chakras

 

A quick note from Inge before we get into the juicy material of the chakras:

Inge PictureI’m on a mission to help personal growth enthusiasts learn about the power of the chakras. Here, you’ll learn the basics. You’ll learn what the chakras are, how many there are, what they’re related to and what theme each of them governs.

Learning that my body, mind, emotions & spirit were all connected and organized through the chakras has radically changed my world view and my life for the better. Hopefully, you’ll find some wisdom here too.

To take you more in depth, I will be hosting a series of masterclasses in the next few weeks: (Saturday, December 15 at 12:30pm | Friday, December 20, 5:30pm | December 28, 4pm) Click here to register.

Love,

What Are Chakras?

Chakras are wheels of energy, spinning in and around the body. They interact with the body, emotions, mind & spirit. And the rest of our lives.

Chakras are energetic structures organizing the information that is you.

Each chakra has its own theme & organizes the information pertaining to that theme (much like a computer).

As you go through life, your chakras contain and integrate the learning and self-programming you do.


The Root Chakra: The First Chakra on our Journey Up:

The Basics for the root chakra:

Location: The root chakra flows out of the perineum, through the legs and feet into the earth.

Colour: Red or Brown-Red.

Basic Right: Right to be here & Right to have.

Body parts associated: Bones, skeletal structure, rectum, coccyx, perineum, legs, feet, urethra, urinary bladder, genitals, adrenal glands, adrenal cortex.

Summary of the root chakra:

The Root Chakra is our ground, energetically speaking.

It’s our foundation, our ability to stand on our two feet.
It governs our ability to survive and to feel safe in the physical world.

Because the root chakra is developed in early infancy, it is formed first. It contains all the information in those early months where the challenge is to be here, as a physical being. As a physical being, we experience hunger, discomfort and pain. The questions we answer are: ” Is this a safe place?” “Am I welcome here?” Everything in our surroundings pertaining to these questions gets stored in the root chakra.

As we grow older, this sense of security manifests in the way we take care of ourselves. It plays out in our relationships with food, with shelter, with money – the things we need to survive.
