Psychic Secrets Of The Chakra

If you've ever taken part in meditation, a yoga class or reiki session, it’s very likely you’ve heard your instructor talk about chakras. If you’ve ever wondered what these are, this word translates as ‘’wheel’’ or ‘’disk’’ and relates to spiritual energy centres within the body, of which there are 7. Each is thought to be a spinning disk of energy that must stay open and aligned for both emotional and physical well-being. Should they be blocked, they can cause both internal and external turmoil that can distract from the life you are supposed to lead. Because our Psychic Sofa readers want you to reach your full potential, we decided to answer common questions, such as, ‘’What is a chakra?” and ‘’What does chakra mean?’’, as well as reveal some psychic secrets that will help you to find alignment. And should you need further spiritual guidance, or fancy a psychic reading, we encourage you to get in touch with us today. You can reach our phone psychics on 09057897752 (calls cost 80p per minute plus your network access charge) or on 01618640152.

What Is The Chakra?

There are 7 main chakras, and these are:

The Root Chakra

The first chakra, the root chakra, symbolises our basis and foundation. Found at the base of the spine, it provides a feeling of being grounded. When it’s open, we feel confident in ourselves and able to overcome any hurdles that come our way. No matter if things don’t go to plan, we can always find our feet again, and get back up off of the ground. However, when it’s blocked, we may feel threatened, and feel as if we’re walking on eggshells, or on shaky ground. 

The root chakra key information:

• Location: Base of spine, around the tailbone.

• Controls: What grounds us, and the basis for survival, such as food, shelter, and financial independence.

• Chakra Colour: Red.

• Element: Earth.

• Chakra Stone: Hematite.

• When it develops: Ages 1-7 years.

The Sacral Chakra

Located in the lower abdomen, the sacral chakra helps us relate to our emotions, as well as those of others. Allowing us to see different points of view, and realise that rationality isn’t always feasible, the sacral chakra boosts our compassion and understanding too. What’s more, it also controls our creativity and how we express ourselves. A blocked sacral chakra may suggest you feel a lack of control in your life, which must be regained for spiritual insight and peace.

The sacral chakra key information:

• Location: Lower abdomen.

• Controls: Your sense of well-being, happiness and pleasure.

• Sacral Colour: Orange

• Element: Water.

• Stone: Tiger's Eye.

• When it develops: Ages 8-14 years.

The Solar Plexus Chakra

The third chakra, enables your confidence, and ability to control your life, and your capability to get things back on track. Whenever you have butterflies in your stomach, or feel a pit in your stomach, that’s the solar plexus kicking into action. An open chakra will help you find clarity and solutions to any issues or anxiety you feel. Should your solar plexus chakra be blocked, you may feel unease, shame or self-doubt.

The solar plexus chakra key information:

• Location: Upper abdomen.

• Controls: Self-esteem, confidence and feelings of self-worth.

• Chakra Colour: Yellow.

• Element: Fire.

• Chakra Stone:  Amber.

• When it develops: Ages 15-21 years.

The Heart Chakra 

This beautiful chakra bridges the gap between the lower and upper chakras. Influencing our ability to give and receive love, it keeps our heart open, and our belief in love strong. Should your heart chakra be blocked, you may have trouble being authentic, honest and open with the people around you, and those you want to let in. With an open heart, you can experience great joy, spiritual connections and love that most can only dream of.

The heart chakra key information:

• Location: Centre of the chest.

• Controls: Love, joy and spiritual contentment.

• Chakra Colour: Green.

• Element: Air.

• Chakra Stone: Rose Quartz

• When it develops: Ages 21-28 years.

The Throat Chakra

Very important for speaking our truth, the throat chakra provides a voice for the heart chakra and controls communication and personal growth. When operating at full speed, you can express yourself clearly and happily, without fear of judgement. By being able to do this, you live a life without regret, because you say what’s on your mind, and don’t just go with the flow. Should your throat chakra be blocked, you may struggle to say how you really feel, resulting in hurt and upset. 

The throat chakra key information:

• Location: Throat.

• Controls: Self-expression, honesty and communication.

• Chakra Colour: Turquoise.

• Element: Sound.

• Chakra Stone:  Aquamarine.

• When it develops: Ages 29-35 years.

The Third-Eye Chakra 

We get closer to Divine communication with the third-eye chakra, which allows us to connect with our intuition and know the path to take when faced with big life decisions. Registering information that is far beyond the surface level, this chakra can provide invaluable insight that may show itself as visions or intuitive moments of clarity. Psychic readers will open up their third-eye chakra to attune with the spiritual world, and receive messages from the higher plains. From clairvoyants and Tarot Card readers through to Angel Card readers and numerologists - each type of psychic reader will benefit from the third-eye chakra being open.

The third-eye chakra key information:

• Location: Forehead.

• Controls: Intuition, wisdom and guidance.

• Chakra Colour: Purple.

• Element: Light.

• Chakra Stone: Amethyst

• When it develops: Ages 36-42 years.

The Crown Chakra

Found at the top of the head, the crown chakra symbolises our ability to connect fully to spirituality. Allowing you to reach a higher state of consciousness, you see clearly everything before you and know instinctively what to do next. Should this chakra of enlightenment be blocked, it may result in a stubborn and narrow-minded approach to any form of spiritual guidance. When it’s open however, it not only allows psychic wisdom to flow throughout, but keeps the other chakras open too.

The crown chakra key information:

• Location: Top of the head.

• Controls: Spiritual connection.

• Chakra Colour: Violet.

• Element: Divine Consciousness.

• Chakra Stone: Clear quartz.

• When it develops: Ages 43-49 years.

How To Unblock Your Chakras

Blocked chakras can take their toll on your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. According to our psychic readers, a good way to unblock your chakra is to create alignment in your physical body through yoga, breathing exercises and daily meditation.

In terms of yoga poses to balance chakras, these include:

• The root chakra - The ‘Tree Pose’ or other balancing poses, such as the ‘Mountain’ or the ‘Warrior’, are superb at strengthening your relationship with your body’s foundation, as well as with helping you to find your centre of gravity too.

• The sacral chakra - The ‘Bridge Pose’ strengthens your pelvic floor, and hip openers - such as the ‘Pigeon Pose’ or ‘Lizard Pose’ - are good for boosting your sacral chakra.

• The solar plexus chakra - The ‘Boat’ or ‘Triangle’ are great at enhancing your abs and allowing balance in this chakra. Firing up your core, you’ll feel motivated to take on any challenge.

• The heart chakra - For those needing to open up more, it’s no surprise that open stances are key. Yoga poses, such as the ‘Camel Pose’, ‘Wheel’ or ‘Humble Warrior’, help you to open your chest, shoulders and arms so that you are ready to embrace and love others.

• The throat chakra - Because both poses help you to open up the back and front sides of your neck, the ‘Plow’ and ‘Fish’ poses are widely recommended.

• The third-eye chakra - The ‘Forward Fold’ or ‘Folded Eagle’ are great at opening up the third eye, as they help connect our lower and upper bodies, keeping us grounded, while allowing us to soar.

• The crown chakra - To connect with your higher self, our telephone psychic readers suggest the ‘Savasana’ or ‘Corpse Pose’.

The chakras represent what’s most important in life - from being grounded and speaking our truths, through to letting in love and connecting to the spiritual plains.
