There are in total 7 chakras in our body acting as energy collectors for us in our everyday lives. These are the Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra. In order for our body to function properly, all our chakras need to be balanced and functioning properly.
In life, due to the different circumstances that we have met and the experiences of life, they leave emotional baggages and scars in us. Some examples are divorces, work stress, and the death of a love one. And often we forgot to cure or ease ourselves of such turmoils and choose to keep the unhappiness and sadness within ourselves. This will cause us to be emotionally imbalanced, which in turn causes our chakras to be blocked and function out of balnce. In the long term, an unbalanced chakra will lead to illness and diseases which may evolved to be cancer, which is life threatening.
It is therefore important for us to be mindful of our bodily functions and our own emotional state and how these in turn affects the functions of our chakras so that we can keep our chakras in balanced and our body free from illnesses.
