Chakra (in Sanskrit) means “wheel” or “disk” in English. See how cars move thanks to their wheels? Well you function that way too, you function properly thanks to your chakras. We have 7 chakras throughout our body, we”ll start at the base:
– Root chakra (color: red)
– Sacral chakra (color: orange)
– Solar plexus chakra (color: yellow)
– Heart chakra (color: green and pink)
– Throat chakra (color: light blue)
– Third eye chakra (color: dark blue)
– Crown chakra (color: purple)
Chakras are energy centers which mean they govern how you experience your reality. If they are blocked, you will feel all types of symptoms depending on which chakra is blocked (they are ALWAYS going to be overactive or underactive until you take care of their state regularly, again, like a car). When your chakras are healthy and cared for, you will experience a state of bliss, contentment and all types of positive feelings, dis-ease becomes ease.

Music is the absolute master of chakras. If you want your car to reach its full potential, you will optimize its power as much as possible. Well, same goes for chakras… They each have a certain frequency that is capable of repairing them.
