There are 7 major chakras in the body, about 21 minor chakras and many others that correspond to various acupuncture points. Chakra is sanskrit for “wheel”. Your chakras are constantly moving and correspond to the 7 main nerve ganglia which come from the spinal column. The lower 3 chakras are considered feminine as their function is specifically receptive. The upper 4 are masculine because they are primarily concerned with giving energy in the form of love and communication. Below are explanations of the 7 chakras…

1st Chakra – Root chakra Color is Red
Located at the base of the spine. This chakra is primarily connected with feelings of protection, self-preservation, and grounding ourselves.

2nd Chakra – Sacral Plexus chakra Color is Orange Located below the navel. This chakra stores our sexual energy, feelings, food issues and creativity.

3rd Chakra – Solar Plexus chakra Color is Yellow
The Solar Plexus chakra is located above the navel, right below the diaphragm. Here you have your money and work issues, plus feelings around personal power and ego.

4th Chakra – Heart chakra Color is Green Located in the middle of the chest. Here we carry our feelings of love, forgiveness and compassion.

5th Chakra -Throat chakra Color is Blue Located in the middle of the throat. This chakra has to do with communication. Also – feelings around truth and integrity.
