The Chakra System for Beginners: What Every Woman Should Know
Ever feel like your energy is out of sync? Maybe you’re emotionally drained, physically tense, or just off, but you can’t figure out why. The answer might lie in your chakras! Chakras for beginners is a game-changer for balancing your mind, body, and spirit. Let’s break down the seven chakras in simple terms and explore how imbalances can affect you.
Chakras for Beginners: A Quick Overview
Chakras are energy centres in your body, each linked to specific emotional, physical, and spiritual functions. When they’re balanced, you feel vibrant and aligned. When they’re blocked? Hello, fatigue, mood swings and mystery aches!
Here’s your guide to the seven chakras and how to spot imbalances:
Root Chakra (Muladhara)
Location: Base of your spine.
Colour: Red
What it rules: Security, stability, basic needs.
Feeling anxious about money or shelter? Your root chakra might need love. Physical signs include lower back pain or digestive issues. Quick fix: Walk barefoot in nature or eat grounding foods like root veggies.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
Location: Below your belly button.
Colour: Orange
What it rules: Creativity, pleasure, emotions.
A blocked sacral chakra can zap your joy. Think low libido, creative blocks, or emotional numbness. Quick fix: Dance, paint, or treat yourself to a sensual bath with citrusy scents.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
Location: Upper abdomen.
Colour: Yellow
What it rules: Confidence, personal power.
If you’re doubting yourself or struggling with digestion, this chakra may be out of balance. Quick fix: Wear yellow, practice affirmations, or try core-strengthening yoga poses.
Heart Chakra (Anahata)
Location: Center of your chest.
Colour: Green
What it rules: Love, compassion, connection.
A closed heart chakra can make you feel lonely or resentful. Physical signs include tightness in your chest or poor circulation. Quick fix: Practice gratitude, hug someone, or spend time with loved ones.
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
Location: Your throat.
Colour: Blue

Struggling to speak up? Sore throat? Your throat chakra is whispering (or yelling) for attention. Quick fix: Sing, journal, or sip herbal teas like chamomile.
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
Location: Between your eyebrows.

What it rules: Intuition, clarity.
If decision-making feels impossible or headaches creep in, your third eye may need clearing. Quick fix: Meditate, stargaze.
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
