Understanding the 7 Main Chakras in the Body

One of the many subjects covered in our live bio energy training workshop is the understanding of chakras; what they are and what their purpose is. These live workshops provide the student with a great opportunity to learn about these energy points and the body’s energy fields.

The aim of bio energy therapy is to help unblock blocked or stagnant energy in different areas of the body which may have been caused by accident, injury or by emotional shock or trauma.

The aim of bio energy therapy is also to clear, balance and harmonise the energy field on all levels of the energy field including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Another aim of Bio energy therapy is to help reduce the intensity of any emotional shock or trauma which may be affecting our everyday lives.

All of the bio energy techniques and applications are covered in 90 video lectures on our online diploma course, however, the addition of our live workshops and our live on zoom workshops can be of huge benefit. The workshops allow for an interactive experience and the advantage of been able to visually see the tutors demonstrate and talk about the many bio energy healing techniques and how they can be applied for bio energy therapy.

You can learn techniques which may be applied in situations where there may be injuries to the physical body such as swollen tissue, damaged joints, muscular pain or discomfort. You can also learn techniques, the principal being to clear and balance the chakras which in turn can help to decrease the intensity of emotional issues such as crippling fear, low self-esteem, grief, shock or trauma.

The seven main chakra centres that we focus on in our live workshops are; The Base chakra, The Sacral chakra, The Solar Plexus chakra, The Heart chakra, The Throat chakra, The Third eye chakra and The Crown chakra. It is important to understand what each chakra represents, where they are located, and what we can do to keep the energy flowing freely in and around each of these locations.

Each chakra governs a particular area of the body and blockages or imbalances in any particular chakra can have an influence on the organs organs, glands, tissue and cells corresponding with this chakra.

The Base Chakra is situated at the base of the spine and the pubic area. Blocked energy in this area can be associated with mortal fear, severe shock, or trauma. A sense or feeling of not belonging and lack of connection with our surroundings, the people around us and our everyday lives can be felt when this chakra is closed, blocked, out of balance or not fully operational.

Organs that can be affected by closure, blockage or imbalance in The Base chakra are; The reproductive glands which are the testes in men and the ovaries in women. This chakra also controls sexual development.

The Sacral Chakra is situated between the navel and the pubic bone. It is associated with feelings of shame, guilt, with our sexuality, our decisiveness, our lack of self-esteem, confidence and morale.

Organs that can be affected by closure, blockage or imbalance in The Sacral chakra are; The bladder, prostate, ovaries, kidneys, gall bladder, bowel, spleen and adrenal glands.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is situated above the navel and just below the sternum. Feelings or emotions associated with this chakra can be Anxiety, Anger and Fear. Panic Attacks are sometimes associated with closure, imbalance or malfunction of this chakra.

Organs that can be affected by closure, blockage or imbalance in The Solar Plexus chakra are; The Intestines, pancreas, liver, bladder, stomach, spleen and gallbladder.

The Heart Chakra is situated in the area of the heart. Feelings or emotions associated with this chakra are Sadness, Grief, Joy, Hurt, and Loss. Loss of any kind can affect the heart chakra. If sadness cannot get out, how can happiness get in?

Organs that can be affected by closure, blockage or imbalance in The Heart chakra are; The Heart, the thymus gland and the lungs.

The Throat Chakra is situated in the area of the throat. This is a chakra of expression only. For example, if we are feeling angry and go out and kick the car, we are dealing with the feeling only, …but not expressing how we FEEL. Making a commitment to express what we may feel can in itself help to clear any energy blockages in the throat area. Singing can also be helpful in clearing any blocked energy in the throat chakra.

The Third Eye Chakra is mostly associated with psychic abilities and intuition (the sixth sense). This chakra is also known as the brow chakra and is located above and between the eyebrows. When it is clear and balanced it is usually associated with strong and powerful psychic and clairvoyant abilities, also strong powers of intuition. A clear and balanced Third Eye chakra brings about a feeling of completeness, inspiration and insight, and an ability to see one's life clearly in one’s mind.

Organs that can be affected by closure, blockage or imbalance in The Third eye chakra are; The Eyes, and the pituitary and pineal glands.

The Crown Chakra is located just above the top of the head. It relates to thought, focus, concentration, self-knowledge, consciousness, pure awareness and spiritual awakening. The Crown Chakra is the entrance, through which divine light enters, allowing healing to take place wherever it is needed. It is our connection to the soul, our higher conscience, our greater being and “All That Is.”
