This is an open community for the discussion and exploration of chakras, energy centers and energy channels, the subtle energetic/electric body as a whole; as well as the practices related to the learning, activating, and mastery of these energetic channels and energy pathways.

Chakras are centers of Prāṇa, life force, or vital energy centers. Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves.

There are seven main chakras.

  • The crown chakra (Sahasrara)

  • The brow/third eye chakra (Ajna)

  • The throat chakra (Vishuddha)

  • The heart chakra (Anahata)

  • The solar-plexus Chakra (Manipura)

  • The sacral chakra (Swadhisthana)

  • The root/base chakra (Muladhara)

I need Guidance

Hello! 👋 I’ve been experiencing something intriguing lately that I wanted to share. I've noticed that I can perceive small shifts in energy around me, although I'm not completely certain about it. It's as if my mind is creating vivid images right before my eyes, almost like a mental projection of what I sense. This phenomenon is a bit challenging to describe, but it feels quite profound.

Additionally, I've become aware that my gut instincts tend to be sharper than those of the average person. I often find that my intuitions guide me more accurately than I expect. With these experiences in mind, my main question is whether this could indicate that my Eye Chakra is opening or if there might be something else at play. I'd love any insights or thoughts you might have on this!

What does it feel like to you to have a healthy solar plexus chakra? ☀️

If possible:

  1. How did you feel when it was blocked / underactive? Especially somatically speaking

  2. How did you feel when you were unblocking it?

  3. How do you feel afterwards? And how did that impact your life?

A frequency for each day of the week?

So, i recently saw a reel on IG, about which frequency we should listen to each day of the week to raise our vibration. According to this reel, it should be:

Monday - 396Hz Tuesday - 417Hz Wednesday - 528Hz Thursday - 639Hz Friday - 741Hz Saturday - 852Hz Sunday - 963Hz

My question is: when should I listen to 174hz & 285hz frequencies. And other frequencies as well.

Inherited blockage?

Today while getting a clearing over my sacral chakra, the practitioner began to share the intuitive messages she was getting. I could not relate with most of it. I was quite confused because so much of what she said did not resonate at all. Context - I’ve been struggling with fertility issues. All I’ve ever wanted was to be a mother so this is really hard for me. All the messages she was getting were fears around motherhood, not wanting to give up my life and freedom, needing my own autonomy…she even went so far as to say she didn’t pick up on any desire at all to be a mother.

A couple minutes later while trying to integrate the session, I realised her words were actually words I’ve heard my mother say/feelings I know my mother went through. I was a ‘mistake’ baby she had way too young - all her dreams of freedom and travelling as a newly wed came to a halt with the news of her pregnancy with me. Could it be that I inherited my mother’s story/feelings? What can I do to release this weight that isn’t mine to hold or keep (especially when it is probably blocking my own ability to conceive)?

The core element of the Heart Chakra is Embracing Love and Harmony

The Universal Christ represents a profound spiritual awakening that transcends the traditional concept of a personal deity. It is the realization that the divine presence exists within every person, creature, and element of the cosmos, binding all creation together. I encountered the Universal Christ Consciousness during a deep journey into my heart chakra, where I experienced a transformative connection to the divine. This consciousness is not limited to one religious tradition but speaks to a universal truth—an awakening to the interconnectedness of all beings and the sacredness that flows through all of existence. It is an invitation to recognize the divine spark within, allowing love, compassion, and unity to guide us in our everyday lives. I wrote a book about my experience and here are some questions to ask yourself when you’re working with your Heart Chakra.

1. How do you express love and compassion towards yourself and

others? Are there any areas where you can deepen or expand

your capacity for love?

2. Reflect on your ability to forgive and let go of past hurts. Are

there any unresolved emotions or grudges that are hindering

the flow of love in your life?

3. How do you cultivate and nurture meaningful relationships in

your life? Are there any relationships that require healing or

more attention?

4. Consider your connection with empathy and understanding.

How do you practice empathy towards others and seek to understand

their experiences?

5. How do you show gratitude in your life? Do you cultivate a

sense of appreciation for the blessings and beauty around you?

6. Reflect on your relationship with self-acceptance. Are there

any aspects of yourself that you find challenging to accept and

love unconditionally?

7. Consider your ability to set healthy boundaries in your relationships.

Are there any areas where you can establish clearer

boundaries to protect your heart’s energy?

8. How do you express and communicate your emotions authentically?

Are there any emotions that you find difficult to express

or express in a healthy way?

9. Reflect on acts of kindness and compassion that you have extended

to others. How do these acts align with your heart’s values

and desires?

10. Consider your connection with nature and the beauty of the

world around you. How do you connect with nature to nurture

your heart chakra?

Crown chakra

25+ years into meditation regularly. I've occasionally experienced crown chakra activation. More recently it has been everytime I meditate, and even during the day when I'm not meditating. There's this sense of a glowing golden thread flowing in, and a pair of something rotating around it. Anyone thoughts?

Why does my crown get stimulated by certain people?

I noticed that each time I am in the office with my doctor and nurse, the top of my head starts tingling more. I think it's my crown chakra.

Do you think my doctor and/or nurse have really open crown chakras? What's going on?

Can someone hold, capture or brand a chakra?

I am asking because recently I felt someone sort of grab my heart chakra. It feels like I have a sphere of possessive energy holding on to something in my upper chest. It’s so strong that when I felt it happen I had to bend over. The energy is strong and empowering with a very intense feeling of possession. I almost feel like I have their personal branding on my back.

What is this? Can someone tell me more about it?

Chakra experience & seeking information/insight

Hello! I'm new to the chakra world and I am looking for information and insight after an experience I had yesterday with a massage therapist.

Context: I have an enduring injury in my left elbow and my right shoulder and I tried a new massage therapist to get it worked on. She was great and effective. We talked about a wide variety of things, but about half way through the session she started talking about chakras and asked if I've ever had mine tested (I don't believe that's the word she used, but it communicates the idea behind what happens nexts).

She pulled out an amethyst on a string and started holding it over the various chakra centers communicating how it would move or swirl different directions based on the state of the chakras. I was a little skeptical of this mainly because I know there's small micro movements when trying to hold something and that a stone being at the end of the string would most likely move because of this reality.

Experience/Event: However, what was/is incredibly curious to me is that when she first held the amethyst over my forehead I almost immediately began feeling a warming sensation on my skin directly under where the stone was hovering (roughly 3-5" above my forehead). In addition to this warm/heat sensation was what I can only describe as a weight, as if something was gently pushing down or being placed on that area. I felt it over every chakra center she "tested" and found this incredibly fascinating and neat. She also put a black stone in my right hand and that also had a physical sensation accompanying it though I cannot recall what it felt like. I just remember feeling something in my right arm. .

I've not experienced anything quite like this before, and while I consider myself to be a very open minded person who has many spiritual/supernatural experiences and who loves to learn, I admittedly never put much stock in chakras or stones because it just felt "thin" in the substance department. Now, though, I'm left with this experience that I have no framework for... which I consider fun and exciting. Thank you in advance for any insight, tools, resources, or comments you might have concerning what happened and what next steps might look like for me as I want to learn more about this.

Questions about Heart Chakra work

  1. I heard that heaviness/pressure in the center of the chest a sign of healing. Is this true?

  2. Sometimes i feel sadness, hopelessness and depression when i sit to meditate on this heaviness. Is this normal during the process?

  3. I noticed that the more work i do on this, the easier it gets to concentrate on the heaviness/pressure and allow it to be. It is fuzzier and sometimes i feel some pleasant sensation. Is this a sign of progress?

  4. I'm also being able to breathe better. Is this also a sign of progress?

  5. Does anyone here have experience in using solfeggio frequencies during this work?

Interesting Heart Chakra Experience!

When I was at my grandpa's house when he was still alive, I played heart chakra music on the TV.

He was shaking a little and jerked up straight out of his sleep and asked me what I was playing.

My grandpa has never done that before, meaning I just witnessed heart chakra ALCHEMY in action! ♡

I still feel my passed on relatives even though they are crossed over somewhere in my auric field...

However, this is my testimony of the heart chakra! The frequencies of the music actually really do heavily focus on the frequency of your love energy.

Gods of Chakras

A yogi relinquishes his senses to the care of the deities that preside over them, and yokes himself in yoga. The senses are associated with the elements and the deities that preside over the senses/elements are given below.

Muladhara (Root Chakra) is associated with Earth element. The beej mantra of this chakra is Lam. The god is Indra. The manta of Indra is Om Lam Indraya Namah. You can see Lam in the mantra of Indra.

Svadhisthana (Sacral Chakra) is associated with Water element. The beej mantra of this chakra is Vam. The god is Varuna. The mantra of Varuna is Om Vam Varunaya Namah. You can see Vam in the mantra of Varuna.

Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra) is associated with Fire element. The beej mantra of this chakra is Ram. The god is Agni. The mantra of Agni is Om Ram Agnaye Namah.

Anahata (Heart Chakra) is associated with Air element. The beej mantra of this chakra is Yam. The god is Vayu. The mantra of Vayu is Om Yam Vayave Namah.

Vishuddha (Throat Chakra) is associated with Akasha or Ether element. The beej mantra of this chakra is Ham. The god is Isana. The mantra of Isana is Om Ham Isanaya Namah. “Ishana is the upper or skyward face. It is the Citta Shakti or power of the individual consciousness to realize the universal consciousness. This form is associated with Akasha or ether, and the Vishuddha chakra.”

Ajna (Third Eye Chakra) is associated with the Mind. As mentioned in the sentence above from Mahabharata Mind is given before Space. There was another answer that stated Shiva is the god of this Chakra and Om is the beej mantra. So the mantra for this chakra is probably Om Namah Shivaya. Shiva is also said to be the god of Mind.

Brahman - Purusha/Prakriti - Consciousness (Crown/Lotus Chakra) - Mind (Third Eye) - Space (Throat Chakra) - Air (Heart Chakra) - Fire (Solar Plexus Chakra) - Water (Sacral) - Earth (Root) . - The Mahabharata.

As mentioned in the above sentence from Mahabharata Consciousness behind the Mind. Once the mind is penetrated there is no beej mantra. It’s Samadhi, pure consciousness, Turiya.

Do Chakra Bracelets Work?

Hey guys, so I finally purchased a chakra bracelet and have been wearing it for a while. It’s only been weeks, but I feel like it’s not working. I even suspect the stone beads aren’t real crystals, or maybe it’s just me.

Anyone here who’s wearing a chakra bracelet? How has it been for you? Do chakra bracelets work for you? I want to know because I want mine to work.

Tonal singing to get throat chakra moving more smoothly?

I have been trying to clear the gunk from my throat chakra for years… about two now. It’s been slowly working.

I have had a persistent cough since my last round of Covid that I have tried everything to get rid of. A phlegmy cough, not dry. Three weeks of throat coat, NAC, steam showers… it just won’t fully budge.

I broke up with one of my partners yesterday (I am polyamorous) and woke up with the phlegm… at the top of my throat? And my lungs were so seized up! So I got myself in a hot hot shower and took my inhaler twice. Phlegm started exploding out of me.

Once I got out enough, someone on my spirit counsel spoke to me and told me to sit down out of the water and turn the heat up, taking care not to burn myself in the residual heat. No matter what, don’t lift the curtain. Even if I feel like passing out.

And I began to… sing? But it wasn’t like any singing I have ever done before, and I sing all the time. I started low, feeling it at the base of my throat, and when it would catch, I’d start at the bottom again. A few rounds and more phlegm would come up, but not with coughing much… it just would. And then I could get even lower into my chest and did it from there.

I was at this whole thing for a good while when I heard that it isn’t fully cleared but I need rest before I can do more. I was told not to eat, but drink lots of water, and try again in a few hours.

Does anyone have any idea what this was!? I tried googling but I have no frame of reference. I have never seen or heard of this before but I feel SO MUCH BETTER! And I think with rest and water and maybe tea I can clear out the rest!

in which chakras should familial connections be felt?

i have wondered about this for a long time. equal rapport can be felt at a heart chakra level, but i have never had that with my family members. i always feel their presence as a "disturbance" in my root and solar plexus. with my brother and father i feel it on a sacral chakra level. needless to say, this concerns me. in addition, i feel my mother's frontal lobe almost like drilling into mine, forcing me to take in data from her.

now, normally i am a socially aware and easygoing person. it's easy for me to connect on a heart level. it's also easy for me to keep good boundaries on the lower half of my torso. but for some strange reason the above described keeps happening with said clan. what gives?

Does anybody potentially have an explanation

So I was deep in meditation focusing on balancing my sacral charka. I was vibrating the mantra and then all of a sudden I get a little bit of stomach pain. The rest of the day, I felt overall a bit nauseous and my emotional state wasn’t right. Bouts of anger and frustration surfaced and I’m just wondering if anybody had anything similar happen to them?

How to Know if Chakra Bracelet is Real?

Hey everyone! I recently went through the process of finding a real chakra bracelet, and I thought I’d share some tips I learned to help spot the genuine ones. With so many options out there, it’s easy to get confused by what’s real and what’s just for looks. Here’s what to keep an eye out for:

  1. Authentic Stones: Real chakra bracelets are made with natural stones, each chosen for its connection to one of the seven chakras (like Amethyst for intuition or Red Jasper for grounding). Real stones feel cool to the touch and have slight color variations. If the bracelet feels super light or the beads look too perfect, it might be made of plastic or glass.
  2. Quality Craftsmanship: Genuine bracelets are crafted with care, featuring well-polished, evenly sized beads and strong stringing. They’re made to be worn daily, so they should feel durable and comfortable.
  3. Energy Cleansing: Some reputable sellers cleanse their bracelets with traditional methods, like smudging or moonlight exposure, to clear any stagnant energy. It’s not required, but it’s a nice touch if you’re looking for a bracelet that’s ready to work with your energy.
  4. Reputable Sellers: Checking the seller’s reputation and reviews can make a big difference. Real chakra bracelets usually come from sellers who are knowledgeable about energy stones and spiritual practices, and they’re transparent about materials and origin.
  5. Price Range: Authentic chakra bracelets, made with real stones, often aren’t dirt cheap. If the price seems too good to be true, it’s worth taking a closer look at the materials.

Anyone else gone through the process of finding a real chakra bracelet? I’d love to hear any tips or experiences you all have on what to look for or avoid!

How to learn working with your chakras? For example: detecting lies etc

We know that chakras have very powerful energies. Each of them good for something. I had a master who told me start to connect with your chakras and start talking to them, each of them will guide you for something specific. For example talking to someone we could easily scan them, know if they are lying or have been heart broken etc ... I am interested in knowing if we have a book or something to go to the details of these things and methods? Have seen and read a lot of books and videos which talk high level shit and are just fake, so please dont suggest something that is useless.

I know this knowledge is always hidden and wont expect it be written somewhere, but just wanted to give it a try. Thanks in advance and appreciate any guidance.
