Picture this: Spinning wheels of light! Chakras are the same! They are the energy centers within the body. Seven chakras are there in the human body that are aligned with the spine, located from the base to the crown of your head. Each chakra is associated with certain physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. They work to regulate the flow of energy throughout the body, inducing overall well-being and harmony.
Talking from the base of the chakra, the Root Chakra (Mooladhara Chakra) as suggested by the name connects you to the earth’s roots, i.e. the earth’s energy. Moving upwards, there presents the Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana Chakra). It ignited your passion and creativity. Then comes the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura Chakra), also known as the body’s power center. It shines bright like the sun and just like the rays of the sun it fuels confidence and willpower inside you.
As we ascend, there is a Heart Chakra (Anahata Chakra), that embraces love and compassion. Next, Throat Chakra (Vishuddhi Chakra) works to give a clear voice to your truth. Then, moving forward the Third Eye Chakra (Ajna Chakra) opens your intuition, leading you towards wisdom.
Finally, at the top, there is the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara Chakra) that connects you to the infinite wisdom and divine energy of the universe. It looks like a beacon of sacred light over your head.
All sounds interesting. Yeah!

Closing Thoughts
The chakras bring out different levels of consciousness. To activate these chakras, you need utmost consciousness and keep your mind away from external or physical realms. If you wish to activate these chakras, then perform a concerted effort by practicing yoga poses, chanting mantras, practicing mudras, and performing different Kundalini awakening pranayama. All these can be done easily if practiced under proper guidance. Purification is another important step of chakra awakening as it activates Sushumna Nadi and at last Kundalini power is awakened.
