In Yoga and Ayurveda<\/strong>, the seven Chakras are what make up a person\u2019s being.  Running upward along the spine from its base to the top of the head, each Chakra represents a different part of your personhood.  While each chakra is different, they all share the same general characteristics.  While unable to be physically seen, one can picture a chakra as a spinning wheel, hovering in place, connecting the physical person to the energetic person.  In Sanskrit, the energy is called Prana, or translated to \u2018Life Force Energy<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n

When all the chakras align there is a strong connection between the physical and energetic presence of life. Moreover, when a chakra is blocked it can lead to illness physically, mentally, or spiritually.  Chakras can become blocked for a variety of reasons, but often it can be something as little as stress to set things off balance.<\/p>\n

It is important to identify and understand all seven chakras to ensure one can properly address blockages.  Each chakras has a main function connected to it’s location and its colour association.<\/p>\n

\"Seven<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Chakras are counted from the base up as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1st Chakra: <\/strong>Root Chakra – Regulates Survival
\n2nd Chakra<\/strong>: Sacral Chakra – Regulates Creativity
\n3rd Chakra<\/strong>: Solar Plexis Chakra – Regulates Sense of Self
\n4th Chakra:<\/strong> Heart Chakra – Regulates Emotion
\n5th Chakra<\/strong>: Throat Chakra – Regulates Expression
\n6th Chakra:<\/strong> Third Eye Chakra – Regulates Intuition
\n7th Chakra<\/strong>: Crown Chakra – Regulates Spirituality<\/p>\n

Those sensing they may be out of balance, should take action to open up blocked chakras.  Activites such as yoga and meditation can be a great way to begin.  Additionally, if thigs are far out balance, and Ayurvedic Detox or Intensive Yoga Retreat may be a better route to go.  At SpaDreams we beleive that taking ones health seriously is the only way to live a well, balanced life.  If you are interested in an Ayurveda Detox<\/a> or learning more about Yoga Retreats<\/a> feel free to contact one of the SpaDreams staff, who are experts in Ayurveda & Yoga wellness and wellness travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
