The Chakras Explained: How Balancing Them Can Help You Feel Better
If you’ve ever felt emotionally off, physically drained, or just a little disconnected from yourself, your chakras might be calling for attention. Chakra healing isn’t just a trendy wellness buzzword, it’s an ancient system rooted in real energetic principles that can help you feel more grounded, vibrant, and aligned.
So what exactly are chakras and can balancing them make such a difference?
What Are Chakras, Really?
The word chakra comes from Sanskrit and means “wheel” or “disk”. In the chakra system there are seven major energy centers that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. Each chakra governs specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your life. When one or more of them becomes blocked, not enough energy flow, or overactive, too much energy flow, it can affect how you feel and function.
Let’s break them down:
The Seven Chakras and What They Influence:
Root Chakra: Associated with stability, safety, and physical needs.
Location: Base of Spine
Balanced: You feel grounded and secure.
Imbalanced: You may feel anxious, unstable, or fearful.
Sacral Chakra: Linked to emotions, pleasure, and creativity.
Location: Lower Abdomen
Balanced: You enjoy life and express emotions freely.
Imbalanced: You might feel emotionally stuck or disconnected from others.
Solar Plexus: Your center of confidence and personal power.
Location: Upper Abdomen
Balanced: You feel motivated and confident.
Imbalanced: You may struggle with self-doubt or control issues.
Heart Chakra: Tied to higher emotions like love, compassion, and forgiveness.

How Chakra Healing Therapy Works
Chakra Healing involves bringing each energy center into alignment so your entire system functions in harmony as a whole. At Indigo Palm Healing, I use a Reiki or Sound Healing, using instruments tuned to the frequencies of the chakras, or a combination of both to help balance and restore energy flow where it’s blocked. The experience is gentle, deeply calming, and can lead to noticeable shifts in how you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Some of the things my clients have said,
“I feel so much lighter. I didn’t realize how heavy I felt before.”
“I felt a rush of release like I was letting go of what I don’t need.”
“It felt like I was underwater, and I slowly rose to the top of the water to relax and float.”
“I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t realize how off I was until this.”
