Chakras
The seven centres of living energy
The chakras are seven energy centres located along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head. In Hindu and yogic tradition, they are the wheels of life force through which prana (vital energy) flows, governing every aspect of physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

Each chakra governs a different domain of experience: the Root Chakra (Muladhara) grounds us in safety and survival; the Sacral (Svadhisthana) governs creativity and pleasure; the Solar Plexus (Manipura) holds personal power; the Heart (Anahata) opens to love and compassion; the Throat (Vishuddha) enables authentic expression; the Third Eye (Ajna) awakens intuition; and the Crown (Sahasrara) connects us to divine consciousness. When the chakras are balanced and open, energy flows freely and we experience health, clarity, and spiritual aliveness.
History & Origins
The chakra system is described in the ancient Hindu texts known as the Vedas and Upanishads, with detailed descriptions appearing in the Tantric texts of the 6th–10th centuries CE. The system was brought to the West in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through the Theosophical Society and the work of scholars such as Arthur Avalon. It has since become central to yoga, meditation, and holistic healing practices worldwide.
Wearing the Chakras
Wearing the chakras is an intention to live in full alignment, to honour every dimension of your being and to keep the energy of life flowing freely through you.
