Inspiration
Chakras are spinning wheels or energy gateways that run along the spine. We have seven basic chakras, each with its own color, function, and meaning.
The colors of the chakras
- Root chakra: Red - Grounding, security, and basic trust
- Sacral chakra: Orange - Creativity, sexuality, and emotions
- Solar plexus chakra: Yellow - Self-confidence, power, and vitality
- Heart chakra: Green - Love, compassion, and empathy
- Throat chakra: Blue - Communication, expression, and truth
- Third eye chakra: Indigo - Intuition, wisdom, and insight
- Crown chakra: Violet - Spiritual connection, enlightenment, and unity
The functions of the chakras
- Each chakra is connected to certain organs, glands, and emotions. If a chakra is blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional problems.
- Chakras can be influenced by our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By working with our chakras, we can balance ourselves on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Explanation of the movement
With the Chakra Mudra (or Diamond Mudra), I connect the different energy centers together. The fingers point upwards at the level of the heart. Make a large protective circle around you in which you bring unity within yourself. Align the chakras while chanting in this mudra flow. Feel how your colors intensify and your energy expands with each circle you make. You are building an inner and outer force field.
Lam, Vam, Ram, Yam, Ham, Om
I harmonize the energy centers in my body.
