Description
We have seven chakras in our body. The electric body layer within us is joined with our physical body at these seven points, and this brings the power, the life energy to our physical body. It is important to understand a little about these seven chakras because as soon as you enter the meditative state you have to pass, whether knowingly or unknowingly, through these seven chakras. These mysterious and energetic points will not be found in the physical form, yet these doors are key to understanding yourself, your personality, and how you are dealing with things in your life.
Muladhara (Root Chakra) – The first chakra is located at the lower end of the spine, at the back of the body, at its very base. It provides the foundation for how we build our lives; representing safety, security, stability. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: fear, anxiety, low self-esteem, exhaustion, and lower back pain.
Svadhisthana (Sacral Chakra) – The second chakra is located below the navel. It represents creative and sexual energy. Its function is to optimize our personal power, so that we can navigate our lives with strength and determination. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: despair, an inability to find new ideas, kidneys and urinary problems, infertility, impotence.
Manipura (Solar Plexus) – The third chakra is located below the chest. It represents self-esteem, pleasure, willpower and personal responsibility. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: low self-esteem, no new ideas, no creativity, infertility, impotence.
Anahata (Heart Chakra) – The fourth chakra is located at the center of the chest, at the heart center. It represents love and self-loving. It governs all relations. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: depression, difficulty in relationships, lack of discipline.
Vishuddha (Throat Chakra) – The fifth chakra is located in the center of the neck. It represents the ability to speak and communicate clearly and effectively. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: shyness, arrogance, attracting the wrong people, hearing and Thyroid problems.
Ajna (Third Eye Chakra) – The sixth chakra is located in the center of your forehead between your two eyebrows. It’s considered to be the seat of the mind, of both conscious and unconscious awareness. It represents intuition and insight. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: lack of direction, no time to react, nightmares, vision problems.
Sahasrara (Crown Chakra) – The seventh plane is located at the top of your head. It represents states of the higher consciousness and divine connection. When there is imbalance in this chakra, you will experience: cynicism, loneliness, confusion.

WHEN, HOW, WHERE
Remember that any time you sit to meditate, you should choose a space where you are sure you won’t have interruptions. There is nothing more annoying than when you are navigating depths of your being, and someone approaches you with their mundane energy, interfering with the deep connection that you were activating. Once you meditate enough, and you have the feeling locked inside you, it will be possible to hold and maintain this state. This is one of the objectives of this chapter. Meanwhile, always choose an appropriate time and space that will allow you the safety, space and opportunity to concentrate. Then you can really dive in.
Drop all of the knowledge, put it to one side, and start connecting to the energy field generated by each chakra. Allow, Allow, Allow – let the experience be there!
