A beginners guide to the seven chakras

The seven chakras are the principle energy centres of the body. You’ve likely heard discussions around “unblocking” the chakras, which alludes to the possibility that when all of our chakras are open, energy can flow through them bringing harmony and balance to the body, mind, and soul.

Below is our easy-to-follow guide to the seven Chakras…

First Chakra

Root Chakra

Relevant affirmations: I am Safe. I trust more and fear less. I value my body. I have everything I need.

The Root Chakra represents our foundation. With this chakra being at the base of our spine it provides us with stability and a sense of feeling grounded. When the root chakra is clear and open we feel confident and strong, but when it’s blocked we may feel unstable and anxious. The colour representing the root chakra is red, and its related element is earth.

Eternal Sunshine’s Serenity pure essential oil blend is aligned with the Root Chakra.

Second Chakra

Sacral Chakra

Relevant affirmations: I attract people who treat me with Respect. I express my emotions in a healthy way. I am passionate about my life. I embrace and celebrate my sexuality.

The Sacral Chakra is the epicentre of our sexuality, creativity, and emotional responses. and is responsible for our ability to relate to others and ourselves. When this chakra is open it enables the healthy flow of emotions, but when it’s blocked we may feel a lack of control in our lives. The colour aligned with the sacral chakra is orange, and its related element is water.

Third Chakra

Solar Plexus Chakra

Relevant affirmations: I act with courage and strength. I am confident in all that I do. My potential is unlimited. I am strong.

The Solar Plexus Chakra brings us confidence and strength. It helps us believe in ourselves, and gives us the ability to transform our lives for the better. When this chakra is clear and open we are able to understand how to use our strengths to benefit our future. If this Chakra is blocked we may feel consumed by self-doubt and uncertainty. The colour aligned with the solar plexus chakra is yellow, and its related element is fire.

Fourth Chakra

Heart Chakra

Relevant affirmations: I am open to giving and receiving love. I am kind to myself and others. I am grateful for all my blessings. I forgive myself and others.

The Heart Chakra provides us with the passion to connect with ourselves and others. This chakra radiates the energy of unconditional love, compassion, joy and empathy. When clear it helps us to build strong relationships with others and to help us remain grateful for the love of others. If this chakra becomes blocked it can hinder our ability to connect with others. The colour aligned with the heart chakra is green, and its related element is air.

Fifth Chakra

Throat Chakra

Related affirmations: I hear and speak the truth. I am open and honest in my communication. I am expressing myself with clear intent. I live an authentic life.

The Throat Chakra is the centre for speech and sound. Our ability to communicate things clearly to others with truth can help with the quality of our life experiences. If this chakra is closed we will have difficulty expressing ourselves and developing relationships with others, as we won’t be able to truthfully say how we feel. The colour aligned with the throat chakra is blue, and its related element is sound.

Sixth Chakra

Third Eye Chakra

Related affirmation: I see clearly. I am connected to my higher self. All that I need is within me. I am a conscious creator of my own reality.

The Third Eye allows us to connect deeper to our intuition, and provides clarity of self-awareness. Think of this chakra as the eye of our soul. With a highly developed third eye centre we can establish a closer connection to our consciousness, enabling us to register information received beyond the surface level. If this chakra becomes blocked it can negatively affect our concentration, and the way we process information. It can often make us fearful of the unknown. The colour aligned with the throat chakra is purple, and its related element is light.

Seventh Chakra

Crown Chakra

Related affirmations: I am divine light. I am at peace. I receive help as soon as I ask for it. I am connected with the wisdom of the Universe.

The Crown Chakra allows us to connect with our higher consciousness and the divine force. The crown chakra provides an infinite source of healing energy through spirituality and enlightenment. A blocked crown chakra can create a disconnect to the world around us, and evoke feelings of instability throughout the physical body.

Eternal Sunshine’s Divine pure essential oil blend is aligned with the Crown chakra.
