A beginner's guide to the seven energy centers and how blockages manifest as physical and emotional symptoms.
Your Body's Energy Map
The chakra system is a map of seven primary energy centers running from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra governs specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your being. When energy flows freely, you feel vibrant and balanced.
When Chakras Become Blocked
Stress, trauma, negative beliefs, and unhealthy habits can create blockages in your energy centers. A blocked root chakra might manifest as anxiety and financial fear. A blocked throat chakra might show up as difficulty speaking your truth or thyroid issues.

Restoring Balance
Each chakra responds to specific practices: meditation, sound frequencies, crystals, essential oils, and energy healing. In my practice, I use a combination of Reiki, crystal placement, and guided visualization to identify and clear blockages.
