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 have restarted practicing yoga again after a year of not doing it and i had this experience during the mantra of the third chakra solar plexus. I practice yoga from Maya Fiennes and as i was doing the mantra i started to slip from reality. My arms were shaking and felt like emotion was going through them and i started to get dizzy. I stopped a little and i began again and took the experience to the end. I couldn't see things around me, complete darkness and i couldn't hear any sound. And this white figure appears in mind and he is doing the same movement as me. And he is in a purple background. Idk what it was and it appeared for a short time and i got back to reality bc i couldn't keep up the a movement and chanting har. Any idea what it was and how to do it again?
Is it fine to meditate on a chakra consistently everyday? Or should we switch it up? 💯💯
I just dont know, have you seen it or not. Well, Its russian, but the thing is, Its good. Its about chakras and i dont know if there is a website like this in english. Its a good thing, I hope it can be usefull to you.
If you undestabd what Its about, are there any website like this in english? Im wondering.
It's not that I don't like to smile, I'm just more of a middle of the road type. I know there is empowerment/initiative and knowledge but I'm not sure how you would display those as emotions. Is there an emotion besides those associated with the crown chakra that can raise my vibration without having to smile all day?
The only heat I feel when i am in angry I feel my heart go heat or dense when it is balance I feel light , cold and bliss is this right to everyone? Or I'm just getting wrong idea?
Meeting Fairy Godmother
Hello, I just wanted to ask everyone to help me find the meaning of my dream I had. It was way too real and I remember most of the details. Please read. I beg of you.
I was in a dream and most of it in the beginning felt like a dream. Then I stepped out onto a field. An excavation field of an ancient ruin. I met an archaeologist there. We talked. He said the humans are trying to excavate this and place it into another place. A deeper part of the earth for power. We hated this idea of how countries try to tarnish the meaning of this ancient ruin for power. Then we got into a helicopter moving deeper into the earth.
We land by a cave with fbi agents around. Me and the archaeologist arm with guns and get out. The fairy godmother steps out of the entrance and looks at me and tell the men to stand down. She invites me and this archaeologist into the cave. As we walk inside she asks me why am I here. I try to lie for safety, but she knows I mustn't lie. So I tell her I always wanted to learn the ancient knowledge and open my third eye. And she said she can help.
Inside there were other beings. One was a man with a slick back hair, dressed in a suit. The other was faceless with a mouth. The other was a girl with a short hair with some colors. We all try to access other dimensions, but the slick back hair guy says well you can't do it like this. It was because I don't have my chakras aligned and my third eye wasn't clear enough. He showed me his third eye wide opened. We then perform a ritual of sort. A huge bowl with colorful slimes. We put our hand in it and shake our hand inside the slime. We then start jumping and I feel a huge tingling sensation in my body. The guy looks and says, well don't do it too much, because you will lose the sensation.
The archaeologist was with me. He wanted to find someone named lee. The girl was helping him out. She got a piece of paper and shake it inside the slime. The paper wrote "Lee (I don't recall the last name). In 10~15 years in your life. Bee Hive Party." Then the girl started talking more with the archaeologist.
I look at the fairy godmother and ask if I can learn how to harness magical powers and practice it. She says of course and leads me to her bookshelf. She recommends me a lot of books to read, most of which don't exist in our world. Some were even comic books and I asked her, aren't this just comic books? She said no. Some of it has actual knowledge of it. I saw all the titles but somehow those titles I can't remember. I just somehow knew she was the fairy godmother without any knowledge or signs of it.
Then I wake up.
I have always wanted to open my third eye so I've always been meditating to access more knowledge and then I had this surreal dream that was way too specific. Please guide me with any knowledge you all have.
Hi, everyone! I'm not a total beginner (been doing yoga for two years and love to read up on related subjects) so I know the basic about the main chakras, even a little bit about a few minor ones. But not much beyond their individual characteristics (as opposed to, say, how they relate to each other and to the physical body etc). However, due to some new health issues I haven't been able to read for long stretches, and I've been favoring audiobooks.
So I'd like to know if anyone knows of any good audiobooks on the chakras. I realize an audiobook will certainly lose a lot in terms of visuals but I can definitely look things up later if during listening I feel I'm missing out on a particular point.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, i have a question regarding heart chakra, 2 days a go i did meditation, visualizing that i pull the energy from the nature, pulling it to my heart chakra and distributing it to my other chakra point, the thing is i feel like it happened, and the problem is, i felt cold sensation on my back right on the heart chakra point. I used to do meditation quite often but this time it is unguided
Is there anyway i can fix this? I tried using hoodie and compression shirt the whole day, using thick blankets and higher the temp of my bedroom, but the cold on my back is still there
Hey everyone! ✨ I love tarot readings and every single time I get a reading they all say that I need to do chakra cleansings. They don’t tell me which ones are blocked but it’s funny… I can feel the spiritual drainage within me (that’s a whole other convo!). I am TIRED, but it’s much more than just needing a nap… so I know it’s time to put the work in.
I have a couple of questions and please excuse me if these questions seem ignorant, I’m just trying to learn!! 🤍
What are ways to cleanse chakras? Some tarot readers try to sell me their services (not in a pressuring way) but I just can’t justify spending hundreds or thousands doing this. If there are things I can do personally like read or guided meditation, I’d LOVE to do it and I’d be all in and invested. I just don’t know how to start.
How do you know what chakras are blocked? & Can you feel a difference after it’s been cleansed?
Any other advice you have is greatlyyyyyy appreciated, thank you SO MUCH!!!!
My heart rate is usually always fast (except for when sleeping or deeply relaxed), and medical professionals are always concerned about it every time I get checked out. I’ve gotten many tests done, and there’s nothing physical to conclude it seems. The closest explanation seems to be either pots or ist, neither of which I meet the full diagnostic criteria for.
I’ve gotten into more spiritual things lately, and have felt physical problems or sensations that turned out to be mental or spritual. Is a fast heart rate indicative of a blocked or overactive heart chakra? If it helps, I am a very sensitive person and feel things very deeply. It could just be anxiety but that means I have a lot more of it than I realize considering it’s fast 24/7.
Hospice nurse here. I pronounced a death today and the son of the patient enlightened me with his wisdom regarding chakras. I am so interested in this now. Can someone help me figure out how to get started with this?
Tldr; I started learning how to read music on an app and quickly noticed anxiety, guilt, and shame tied to learning music.
Downloaded the Duolingo app and I’ve been happily learning foreign languages and rediscovering my mathematical abilities with satisfactory results. I’m very attuned to my energetic body and have found a kind of excitement and freedom in these subjects. Music, however, has felt like hitting a wall.
I’ve always been good at music and play by ear/memorization. I can fiddle (no pun intended) with an instrument and figure it out slowly but surely. As a kid I went to several piano classes with varying results. Some I passed easily, others would not go well at all. That includes private lessons.
Now that I’m trying again, I’m experiencing panic and confusion while learning piano basics. When I get these feelings, my sacral is tingling a lot, almost like a contraction. I feel ashamed and embarrassed every time I mess up. I get so worked up over it I feel like I want to bawl. I guess my family has put guilt and shame on me since childhood because I couldn’t overcome these hurdles. I might have inattentive adhd (which I believe has affected my schooling), it runs in my family.
The Sacral can be associated with creativity as well as emotions (particularly trapped ones), from my understanding. So I’m just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has had similar experiences or helpful insights. Thanks in advance.
Do I need to open my Chakras before Balancing them?
How do I open them, then balance them?
Do I start from the Root Chakra from there?
What techniques can I use?
Which technique has been most effective for you?
How long did it take to Balance your Chakras?
I'm very new to all of this.
If I have a chakra that has either excessive energy or a lack of energy (due to blockage) I have options.
2.Engage in exercise. good eating habits, meditation, etc... IE, levers that focus on traditional methods to improve our well being. IMPACT: same as above.
I need help understanding the distinction between 1 and 2. And moreover, I understand there's overlap.
the key question is what pattern recognition can I incorporate (I'm a human after all) to clarify they the improvements are from chakra work directly?
(outlier: is all work chakra related???)
Does anyone else experience a persistent vibration / tension in their upper chakras? I'm curious if anyone has insights on what this might imply.
It started a few months ago after I experimented with Robert Monroe's Gateway experience tapes and binaural beats. I was curious because of related CIA documents I found. On day one, my 3rd eye activated with physical tension. I stopped listening to those audios over 2 months ago but my upper chakras have gradually increased in intensity to where they will activate at any time as a physical sensation, particularly if I sit down / lay down / pause from physical activity. I've never exhibited an affinity for energetic work or experiencing anything "supernatural" until quite recently. I'm aware of grounding exercises, and the sensations only distract me occasionally. I'm just curious what sets the chakras on so often.
I am brand new to using crystals and relatively new to meditation and chakras. I’ve had a lot of health issues so I’ve been trying meditations for healing and specifically trying to work on my sacral and solar plexus chakras. I was meditating today and focusing on my sacral chakra while holding amethyst and clear quartz against my lower stomach when I felt my entire body vibrate a few times. It was a weird but cool feeling. Did I actually do anything? Like is that what you’re supposed to feel if you’re achieving opening a chakra? Sorry if I sound nuts but It was wild-it actually brought a tear to my eye. 🥰
Hello,i feel so weak,sad and hopeless lately,despite i've done sometimes chakra cleansing and healing,no improvement at all.
While out I was stopped by a stranger and was told my heart chakra was numb. She went to say to say that I am a caring individual that is destined for great love but one that never lasts.
I have never really learned about chakras can anyone break this down for me?
Greetings,
I have a question, but first a bit of context.
Whenever I see someone *really* attractive, I feel a pressure on one of my chakras, almost to the point of physical pain.
I asked people around Me and two of Them reported the same phenomena, however They feel their pressure at the Sacral Chakra and the Throat Chakra.
That make sense since the Sacral Chakra deals with attraction, sexuality and that the Throat Chakra is in symmetry with it, there would be a synergie there.
However, I only feel this pressure in the Solar Plexus Chakra.
So to my question; why would such encounters activate this Chakra so strongly and not the Sacral one?
Thanks for your time.
After a profound healing session recently, I'm tapping into my sense of newfound safety. it's having wonderful effects. And when engaging with sexual energy with my partner, I was somewhat shocked about the difference I felt internally.
it was like - more energy, a stronger degree of engagement...
What I'd like to know is - I want to practice this sense of openness at the root level and ensure I maintain it and grow it.
At times this feels a bit 'woo' 'woo' but after the recent changes, I'm a bit of a believer. How do I cultivate this?
Hey all, I’m fairly new to chakra meditation and I heard a chakra bracelet helps balance my energies. I want to wear one while meditating. I’ve seen plenty online but I’m not sure which one to get. Can you recommend the best chakra bracelet to wear for myself? Thanks!
Hello I’m looking for an energy healer or shaman or someone skilled with unblocking chakras. I have been trying to unblock them on my own but it is barely working. I am deeply depressed and exhausted and my heart chakra is heavily blocked. Please help.
How do you align yourself? I use crystals, meditation, aromatherapy, and yoga. I'm new to all of this, but I feel so different when I'm aligned. Everything is much clearer and peaceful. How about you?
Meditating on 1 chakra each day of the week, or just meditating on 1 for however long it takes for it to activate? Ik this might just be prefrence but just thought id ask people who might have more experiance than me on this?
Hey everyone, I work in tech sales, so I’m not super familiar with chakras, vibrations, and all that, but I’ve been feeling something really strange lately. It feels like there’s a snake-like parasite inside my throat/neck area, and I’m getting the same sensation in my left thigh. Also, whenever something good happens to me, I feel a weird numbness around my root chakra.
I have no idea what’s going on, and I’d appreciate any advice on how to deal with this. Thanks in advance!
Hi there, I am going through an accidental Kundalini awakening that came on very suddenly I believe, around March of this year. I never looked into Kundalini before this and had many biases about it before this due to my only exposure being hearing those in an arts community that ended up being very toxic, abusive and unhealthy speak about it (spiritual bypassing type stuff imo. I exited this community a few years ago after being threatened for calling out abusive and shitty behavior). Things got very very scary for me this summer (I think I experienced a DNOTS and I absolutely had a near death experience involving a 6 month long recurring infection). I am facing a lot of grief and loss, reckoning with many past traumas and where in the past, verbally processing things helped me to feel better and meditation was my source of grounding, both of those things now just disorient me more. It's so strange. I am completely ungrounded right now and am feeling very afraid. My face has been numb recently (I experienced this is March when the awakening started). I have very real reasons to be feeling fear (financial struggles going on because of being out of work a bunch this year, behind on rent, issues with my neighbors intimidating me and my roommates where local law enforcement and local gov't is now involved.) and with the awakening I'm experiencing, even going for a hike in the woods or being in public feels INCREDIBLY ungrounding and topsy turvy. Animals are taking way more of a liking to me and last week, an injured bat with a missing wing started to climb my leg. It just flapped over to me from the ground of the woods, in broad daylight and began climbing me. Like yes, very cool and there was a beautiful lesson about powerlessness within it AND ALSO, totally disorienting. I finally started taking videos and pictures of stuff that's happening to keep track of and share with trusted friends because I'm like...what is happening? I don't know how else to describe it and it feels incredibly indescribable and at times, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm worried I will be isolated by my fear of others not believing me and I feel very alone. I had been participating in Shamanic Drumming to help heal past traumas tied to my family and abuse and after the Soul retrieval portion, I feel completely raw and like I'm made of raw nerves. I don't like leaving my house much anymore and everything is heightened with light and sound. It's hard to know what is my body processing and letting go of trauma (a lot of it has manifested in physical sickness, hence the infection) and what is the awakening. I guess when I put it like that though, it's probably both and one in the same. For context, I am very in tune with my mental health and physical health and participate in yoga and physical activity. I see doctors and have years of therapeutic work and application of coping skills within me that I do. I am aware of my feelings and emotions and have been sharing with trusted friends and supports what's going on. I have never consumed any psychedelics, ever and do not consume alcohol or any other drugs. I believe it's my root chakra that needs to be unblocked or cleansed right now, and the Shaman I was working with recommended chanting and mudras to assist in the movement of the energy. I just don't really understand Kundalini which I think is part of the problem for me. Does it end? When my chakras align and Kundalini rises what integration work shall I be prepared to do? Will I always feel this ungrounded and intense? How can I ground through this is in ways that are not meditation? What resources would you all recommend for more individual work around aligning my chakras and where can I learn more about Kundalini in general? I absolutely know Kundalini is NOT an energy to be messed with or taken lightly and I want to be using resources that are reputable and true. I am very sensitive and fragile right now and I don't want to risk trusting the wrong people or resources. I certainly do want to awaken and I'm also feeling very tired right now. It's hard because what I'm used to working healing wise, isn't serving me right now. I want to get back to praying more to the Higher Power of my conception (Mother Earth) because I realize I've been trying to do a lot of this on my own and that's also a huge problem and probably part of why I feel so alone. Thanks everybody.
I have been on a journey of opening all seven chakras with mushrooms. I stimulate each one using the appropriate aroma before commencing a ceremony. When the throat chakra opened- this ball of energy gathered on my tongue and I let out this almighty roar once that was done like a lion. When the crown chakra opened- I invoked the spirit of King Solomon and gave the same speech that he gave to God declaring himself a humble child but asking for infinite wisdom to govern best his people. I need to open the sacral chakra as I have had issues with arousal, intimacy and sexual function since forever. I would just like a bit of advice on what else I could incorporate to complement this ceremony?
At some point I ended up blocking my chakras, I've been meditating regularly and lighting candles. Im not sure how to clear out the blockage. Mainly I want to pry open my third eye chakra and crown chakra I know it's a process. Any advice on how to clear the blockage would be appreciated
Hi can someone give me any advice on what to do. So a few months back my husband started smoking weed. As he told me he felt it calmed him down he started watching YouTube videos about the third eye and even started to meditate . He does have terrible anger issues however after he started to meditate and such he seemed a lot calmer and started helping me a lot more . Please note he was someone who would get angry but would never last out at me and would rather go calm himself . I would say he turned into a big cry baby whenever I calmed him down. However after giving birth to my second born he started acting strange.
He would often come home super upset was so disconnected with the world or anyone around him and he would often look at me and my first born with so much anger in his face mainly me. He would start talking about everyone giving him the one eye . And would always get him side eyeing me I also cannot stand beside him because the minute he sees only my side eye he gets upset and tells me to stop giving him the side eye. Whenever I go to put the kids down to sleep he would stand at the door and stare at me when I ask him what's wrong it's like he zones back to earth and says nothing's wrong and walk away he often does that alot. And sometimes he would tell me weird stuff like I'm trying to see which one of you has "Them" not sure who them is. We stop going to his parents house because whenever we do he starts telling me stuff like " old man is what you like right".like trying to accuse me that I'm messing with his dad. Or says things to me like " your letting them in , how many of them do you have in this house, you are always the one in control , your always feeding them that's why they keep coming back, or sometimes say your feeding the dogs that why the keep coming back.
Other things he says too is at times when I want to be sexual with him he would start telling me are you sure your having sex with me your sure you not having sex with him. Or accuse me of cheating on him while having sex with him . As he says it's not his energy it's other energy in his body and get angry with me and lashes out .Which I'm lost cause he speaks as if he is a different person it's gotten to the point where I am so depress and lost . Every day is the samething . He explains to me at times too that it's a game he plays and that he needs me to join him to fight all the energy out. But I'm so lost on what he is saying he says sometimes he wins them and sometimes he doesnt. At night sometimes I would accidentally knock my bed head which is board and he would knock it harder saying I know your calling them . Whatever I do he now questions it or feels as if everything has a meaning. Sometimes I feel like he is paranoid. I cannot walk outside because he says I'm allowing every person that pass their eye in so we often live enclose in the home. He says that I'm not helping him as I'm bringing the energy and allowing them access. I stated doing research in third eye and chakra and I believe maybe that one of his chakra might be unbalance. Has anyone had any similar experience to this. I'm so lost cause idk what he speaks about , he is distancing from all his loved ones as he is saying that whenever we have sex their energy are in the house watching us and tells me that I know what he is talking about and I'm only playing dumb and ignoring it . He even says that others help me more than I do mentally. He even says he sends me message telepathy and ask me if I get it which I admit that I don't. These are only some of the few things he does.can anyone help sorry if my paragraph seemed so out of place
To sum some of it up He feels as if everyone is against him. He says everyone is giving him the eye. He says often doesn't like me looking in the mirror when I go to take a shower. He accuses me of cheating on him while having sex with his own body as he says it isn't him it's others energy. He says I know well what's he's speaking about. He says I'm blocking him out from reading my mind. He often stares me as well as our kids down saying that he's trying to see in which one of us they are in not sure who they are. He says that I'm in control reason and that he's the tail reason he always is loosing .
Hello everyone — during meditation and afterwards I'm feeling energy climbing the spine towards the brain.
Opposite of the solar-plexus / heart (mid-upper back) I can feel as if the energy is "stuck", but slowly drips upwards. Every time it does, there's a major rush of energy and pleasure.
What am I experiencing?
