Chakra Healing first originated in India between 1500 – 500 BC. It was first sited in the oldest text called the Vedas. According to the Vedas, your body contains seven energy centers called chakras, starting at your tailbone and ending above your head.
Each energy center is open free-flowing energy and creates harmony throughout the mind, body, and spirit. It is important to heal these chakras because they are the foundation of your consciousness. They decide how you think, act, and feel throughout your life.
Indulge yourself in this Chakra healing guide for beginners as you expand your consciousness of your energy centers.
Your seven energy centers consist of your Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra. The term “chakra” is derived from the Sanskrit word wheel. This relates the chakras to spinning wheels of energy within us.
Each chakra is represented by a different color, symbol, name, and location. Every chakra has an important effect on our physical, emotional, and energetic being every day of our lives.
Take the Chakra Assessment below to discover which one of your chakras is out of balance and how to bring it back to a balanced state.
Chakras and Psychology
Our chakras have actually been tied into different schools of psychology, each one being associated with a different level of consciousness.
Root Chakra: Behavioristic psychology (center of organic behavior)
Sacral Chakra: Freudian psychology (center of instinctual drives and impulses)
Solar Plexus Chakra: Humanistic psychology (center of the man-to-man relationship on a human level)
Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, Crown Chakra: Spiritual experiences that correlate with pure spiritual existence and realization at the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (personal growth and self-actualization)
Different changes in consciousness lead to changes in the physiological process called psycho-physical parallelism. This means it is possible to achieve different changes in consciousness. However, this is only possible if your energy centers are in balance.
As a result, Chakra healing is so important in our every day lives. Healing these energy centers allows us to expand our consciousness and remain balanced.
With the advancement of technology, scientists have actually been able to document these centers of energy in concrete reality.
Scientific Proof of Our Energy Centers
Dr. Valerie Hunt, professor of Kinesiology at UCLA, measured the electromagnetic field of the human body using an electromyograph. An electromyograph measures the electrical activity of muscles.
In this study, Hunt discovered the physical body emanated radiation at certain sites throughout our body (the sites of our chakras). She also found certain levels of consciousness are linked to certain frequencies.
Her research shows people’s whose energy fields ranged at a frequency of around 250 Hz had thoughts of solely daily situations. Psychic individual’s energy fields were being measured at a frequency of between 400 and 800 Hz. Channeler’s energy fields measured frequencies in the range of 800-900 Hz. Mystics, those who continuously were connecting with their highest self, energy fields measured frequencies of 900 Hz or above.
Unbalanced vs. Balanced Chakras
Balanced Chakras
Your chakras are unseen and untouchable. They are energetic feelings that only you can feel.
Balanced Chakras bring peace with yourself and your life mentally, physically, and emotionally. Everything just seems to flow, as your energy is spinning and functioning properly. You go about your days with ease.
Unbalanced Chakras
Unbalance and blockages occur in the chakras when one specific energy center is more or less active than the other. When this happens, your life may feel confusing and difficult. Unbalanced chakras cannot be seen physically, as they are internal feelings of energy that constitute gut intuition.

We can use holistic means such as healing gemstones, essential oils, sound healing, herbs, mantras, and meditation to balance our chakras and bring them back into alignment.
Why Worry About Our Chakras?
In life, it is good to keep our chakras aligned so that we may feel good emotionally, physically, and spiritually. If a chakra becomes out of balance, we tend to start wreaking havoc in our own lives.
To prevent this, balancing our chakras and understanding our own selves is very important. It is the easiest way to self heal yourself when you feel “out of it” or “down in the dumps”. When in the process of healing a certain chakra it is useful to wear that chakra’s color as much as possible.
For example, if you want to heal your Root Chakra:
wear red
paint your nails red
set your phone background as something red
eat red foods
This will remind you that you need to focus on healing your chakra.
Above all, allow this information to bring about a new internal understanding of your energy and soul.
In this Chakra series, I will go into depth on the function of each one of your chakras. I will also explain the signs of imbalanced chakras, how to heal them, and how you can keep them aligned. Doing so will bring forth a healthier life mentally, physically, and spiritually.
This chakra is the first energy center located at the base of your spine that connects you to earth or in other terms is “grounding you”. This Root Chakra guide will touch on everything you need to know about this energy center. Muladhara is the Sanskrit word for your Root Chakra. It provides security throughout your soul’s journey.
Muladhara
Think of your Root Chakra as your safety net. When your safety needs are met such as shelter, food, water, and security, you feel grounded and life is a breeze. When these needs are not met, you can feel insecure and unstable creating imbalance. This reflects a psychologically proven effect called Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
Color: Red
Symbol:
Location: Base of spine
Mantra: Lam (I am)
Element: Earth
Having a balanced Root Chakra is essential in feeling grounded in all that you do for the rest of your life.
If you are fearful, easily angered, greedy, depressed, compulsive, or anxious, these are usually indications of an unbalanced Root Chakra.
If you have feelings of safety, security, are grounded, at ease, and your life flows calmly, these are indicationsof a balanced Root Chakra
What Causes a Root Chakra Blockage?
A blocked Root Chakra is most likely the effect of your basic needs in your life not being met. There is an important grounding area in your life where you are unsatisfied or unstable that is causing you to feel disconnected and uneasy. This could be the environment we are living in or the people we surround ourselves and have connections with.
Balancing and Healing Muladhara
Your root chakra is the most important chakra to balance because it is the foundation for the rest of our chakras.
Balancing this chakra can be done by focusing all your energy to this chakra. To do so, start by eating certain foods, listening to certain sounds, utilizing certain smells and other holistic remedies. Below are remedies you can utilize I recommend for balancing your Root Chakra.
Root Chakra Foods
Consuming the following foods can allow your Root Chakra to become cleansed and opened.
sweet potatoes
radishes

Root Chakra Herbs
Sage: Used in many ceremonial traditions for cleansing energy
Dandelion: Connected to the underworld and facilitates connection with the dead
Rosemary: Clears stuck energies
Clove: Brings protection and attracts what you seek
Cedarwood: Ground and strengthens the physical body
Angelica: Protects people and property
To use Root Chakra herbs, you can steep them in your tea or make an incense blend with them. My personal go-to is sage, as it is great for cleansing energy you are carrying with you and allowing for a clean slate for positive energy to build upon.
Root Chakra Essential Oils
Frankincense: Considered a sacred oil and contains anti-depressant properties
Ylang Ylang: Cools down agitation and fear, eases nervous tension
Myrrh: Promotes spiritual awareness, has a calming effect on the nervous system
Clove: Has antiseptic and antifungal properties, improves connection to Divine
To use Root Chakra oils, put a few drops on your hands and smooth the oil on your wrists and neck.
I always stick with Young Living essential oils when purchasing any healing oils, as I have personally received the most benefit through them. This has been the only brand where I can physically feel the oil healing my skin it comes in contact with. Not to mention the aroma is not too strong but not mild enough where it fades after 30 minutes.
Purchasing a cheap six-dollar essential oil from your local drug store will do you more harm than good in this case, trust me based on experience. Oils like these are most likely just fragrance and will bring you no healing properties, only harsh chemicals to the skin.
Below are a few trusted essential oils if you are on a tight budget but looking for something safe and beneficial.
Spray this mist around your living space in order to bring the protection of clear sight and freedom.
Meditation
