Did you know that within the ancient Indian Sanskrit language, the word ‘Chakra’ translates to ‘wheel’? These ‘wheels’ are not just abstract concepts but hold the key to a fascinating exploration of our body’s energy centres.

These energy centres aren’t just mystical notions; they’re a fascinating roadmap to balance and self-discovery. Think of them as subtle energy hubs that might hold the keys to finding moments of calm and strength within the daily hustle of being a mum.

What are Chakras?

Across various Indian Subcontinent beliefs and wellness practices like yoga, the concept of Chakras prevails. These are viewed as high-vibrational energy points within the human body, akin to spinning vortexes of life force, or prana. These energy centers link to our spine, extending out through the etheric body in cone-like forms, channeling our life force energy. It’s widely believed that these Chakras hold a profound connection to every aspect of our being. When one suffers illness or trauma in a specific area, it may symptomatically manifest elsewhere.

For instance, imagine a blocked chakra at the throat; it might lead to physical symptoms in that area. This could translate into issues like sore throats or voice loss.

Likewise, emotional, spiritual, or physical trauma can impact the “Self” and weaken or block a chakra. Emotional burdens might affect lower chakras, causing problems like back pain or digestive disorders.

These energy centers are aligned along the central spinal path, known as the seven primary Chakras. They intricately interplay with our overall well-being and serve as fascinating gateways to understanding the harmony between mind, body, and spirit.
