Through Marie Callas, I've get to know this word 'chakra', a simple yet mysterious word in terms of spirituality. I've done some fact-find and the following is brief description of the seven chakras we have in our bodies. Certainly interesting, yea? Because every sort of human behaviour can be explained using the concept of chakra.
- First chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with red. It is the chakra that governs our physical existence, our bodies and our health.
- Second chakra is located in the area of the womb or spleen, and is associated with the color orange. This chakra governs creativity, and some say emotion.
- Third chakra is located at the solar plexus and is associated with the color gold (yellow). It is associated with the will or desire.
- Fourth chakra (the middle chakra in the chain of seven) is the heart chakra and is associated with the color green, and also the color rose, which is the "color of love." This chakra is connected with emotion and human love.
- Fifth chakra is located at the throat and is a bright blue. It governs communication and personal magnetism. It is the chakra that most influences intercommunication and our "personas." It is also the link between emotion and thought.
- Sixth chakra is located at the third eye (mid-forehead) and is indigo (deep purply/blue). This chakra is associated with thought (though some say the third chakra governs thought) and with vision, particularly psychic vision. It is also the chakra of spiritual love and connection.
- Seventh chakra is at the crown of the head, and is violet fading to white further away from the body. This chakra is our connection to our "higher selves" and to the "divine." It is associated with wisdom and integration of our eternal selves with our current physical selves. It is like our umbilical cord to "God."
That's all about it. Some general info about chakras. It's fun time :)
