In chakra traditions, chakras are described as energy centres connecting the body, emotions and spirituality. Each centre has its own location, colour and theme. This energy-based perspective offers a way to explore different aspects of your life.

How to read this series
Each article introduces one chakra and includes a short exercise from energy practice. You will find a question for reflection and a description of the associated colour and crystals. Feel free to start with a theme that appeals to you.
An energy-based perspective
Chakra traditions offer a spiritual approach, not medical diagnosis. A feeling or symptom is not, in itself, evidence of a blocked chakra. Use these questions to explore your experience, not to make a diagnosis.
