Diagram of the Main Chakras

This is a simple diagram of the seven main chakras along with a short explanation for each one:

Chakras are concentrated points of energy. There are many chakras all over the body, but most healing systems focus on the seven major chakras that are placed at intervals in a line roughly corresponding to the spinal column.

Some cultures picture the chakra as a spinning wheel or sun, others as a flower, a lotus or rose, its petals unfolding as the chakra is activated. Each chakra has its own color and function as laid out below:

• Root of the Spine – Red – Vitality, sex drive, personal attraction, power.
• Spleen – Orange – Will power, intelligence, logic.
• Solar Plexus – Yellow – The most important chakra. Helps control and direct energy effectively.
• Heart – Green – Love, growth, wealth, generosity, nature.
• Throat – Electric blue – Psychic change and control, creativity, healing.
• Brow – Indigo – Telepathy, mediumship, psychic communication, intuition.
• Crown of the Head – Violet – Spiritual lessons, psychic power, complete understanding fulfillment.
