energy centers, chakras, and meridians in the healing work of energy therapy

Explaining the Energy Centers/Chakras/Meridians of the Body

The teaching of energy centers in the body dates back thousands of years but has only recently been introduced to the Western world. New Western scientific research (quantum physics) proves that the human body is energy in its purest form. Energy work (or energy healing) is now widely accepted in many Western healing practices including psychotherapy.

Simply stated, chakras are centers of vibrational energy in the human body. They are often related to certain areas of the body, but in reality are all part of a complete energy system that includes energetic meridians, lines of energy that run through the body. The word chakra means disk, wheel or vortex. Meridians represent energy transportation systems while chakras are energy stations.

Their are seven major energy systems (Chakras) which are located from the base of your spine to the top of your head. Every important or emotionally notable event you have ever experienced is recorded in this energy system.

Each of the seven energy centers (chakras) is holistically connected to specific body organs and systems as well as characterized with mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. From the bottom up the chakras are called:

  • Crown Chakra (Top of Head)- WHITE - Connection with the universe/the divine.
  • Third Eye Chakra (Between Eyes) - INDIGO - Connected to seeing the bigger picture/soul purpose.
  • Throat Chakra- BLUE - Connected to self expression.
  • Heart Chakra - GREEN - Connected to love and compassion.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra- YELLOW - Connected to your self image.
  • Sacral/Womb Chakra- ORANGE - Connected to your creativity.
  • Root Chakra - RED - Connected to your life force.

Clearing and balancing the energy systems, during an energy healing session enables the body to remove toxic energies, both recent and longstanding. This allows the body to adapt to whatever it is presently dealing with. Energy healing sessions leave you feeling more centered and grounded, deeply relaxed, increases your energy and provides alignment with a deeper part of yourself. As energy work continues, changes can be made to bring about increased well-being on increasingly profound levels.
