chakras and auras: what they are and how they work together

An Overview of Chakras and Auras

What are Chakras?

Chakras are multi-colored, spinning wheels of energy that run from the top of your head to the base of your tailbone.

I like to envision these energy centers as the pretty spinning pinwheels I had when I was a kid.

We have seven main chakra points:

  1. Crown chakra – located at the top of your head
  2. Third eye chakra – in between your eyebrows
  3. Throat chakra – located at your throat
  4. Heart chakra – located near your heart, in the center of your chest
  5. Solar plexus chakra – in the area of your naval (belly button)
  6. Sacral chakra – at your lower abdomen/sacral vertebrae (lower back) area
  7. Root chakra – at the base of your spine

In addition to your seven main chakra points, you also have hundreds of ‘mini’ chakras throughout your body! 

Chakras show you the flow of energy throughout your endocrine system based on what you think and feel about your life at any given moment. 

They are points where energy transfers

Think of them as distribution warehouses for energy.

Just like a truck gets packed with things to be delivered, your chakras channel energy to where it’s needed in your system.

Can Chakras be Blocked?

Yes, your chakras can become blocked (or closed), just as your mind becomes blocked when you are working through a challenge in your life.

In fact, your chakras can indicate where your emotional blockage is, so you can fix it.

Pretty cool, right?

The condition of your chakras (how they spin, if they are open or closed, etc.) form your aura.

What is Your Aura?

Your aura is the energy field that surrounds your body, and has seven layers to it.

The layers are not perfectly “layered” on top of each other, but blend into one another.

All living things have energy, and therefore, have an aura including:

  • People
  • Plants
  • Your fuzzy little pet!

Your aura is like a map of energy, and it can tell a lot about you (like whether you are tired, happy or depressed).

Think of your aura as your energetic “space”.

In my house we say, “You’re in my bubble,” when one of us feels that another person is in our energetic space. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “Mom, she’s in my bubble!”

The colors of your aura and shades of intensity change depending on how you feel emotionally, spiritually, and physically.  

  • Intense feelings mean you will have intense colors in your energy fields.
  • Your aura can look healthy and vibrant, or it can look unhealthy, dark, and have visible ‘holes’.

Aura Color Meanings:

How Big is the Human Aura?

The human aura extends out several feet around the body.

On the flip side, plants have a much smaller aura. Why?

Because human beings are much more complex than plants, which means our aura is MUCH larger and more dazzling than any other living thing.

Now that you know what chakras and auras are, let’s see how they work together.

How Chakras and Auras Work Together

What makes chakras and auras appear as they do, and what makes them work the way they work?

It’s all about your energy, of course!

For example, every day, you think and feel emotion; you reason, gather data, and come to conclusions.

All of this affects your chakras and auras.

When you are feeling positive:

  • Your chakras spin and energy flows effortlessly
  • Your aura shimmers with color and vibrancy

But we don’t always feel like we’re walking on sunshine, right?

As humans, we get stuck, feel overwhelmed, and get headaches. We ponder, fret, worry and hope.

When you are feeling negative:

Your chakras spin more slowly, and may stop or get entirely blocked. This affects your aura, and causes it to look less vibrant and healthy.

What causes your chakras and aura to to be less healthy?

It’s the lower levels of energy we create with our thinking.

Our chakras and aura colors are externalizations of the expressions of our thoughts, our feelings, and our moods or disposition.

Don’t worry though, it’s easy to improve your aura colors and chakra health once you know how.

Takeaways

You are constantly sending out short bursts of energy as you live your life.

Your energy transmits itself over the phone lines when you have an incoming call and you know who is calling you, or when you know someone in your family needs help.

We’re all united by energy, which is wonderfully symbolized by the interaction of our chakras and auras, and our relationships with ourselves and others.
