INSIDE: Ever wondered how the chakra system works? How does energy move through it and what happens when that energy flow is obstructed? Read on to discover all of that and more!
We are much more than flesh and blood. We are energy.
A research published on NCBI highlights that it takes more than medication and human biology to heal and get well. The mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves are also crucial and can determine how successful other therapies will be.
That’s how potent our energy is.
The fact is, we are all affected by the energy around us, be that radio waves and EMF radiation or energy that comes from nature and other people.
However, we also generate and store energy, which plays a role in our wellbeing, our ability to connect, and much more.
Each of us have many energy centers in our body, which is known as our chakra system.
What the chakra system is, and why it is so important is exactly what we are going to dive into in the following text. Get comfy, and let’s begin…
About the Chakras System & Energy
The chakra system that meditation, reiki and yoga practitioners work with today is not an ancient principle, although its origins and principles are definitely ancient.
In Buddhism, for instance, there are five key chakras. There have been a few modifications of this system throughout history, but the idea remains the same – chakras represent an energetic machinery, a vessel for energetic exchange and our energetic body.
Today, most people work with a chakra system that includes 7 main chakras, which we’ll go into more detail about below.
Energy originates from source (the Divine). Just like the planets in the solar system, we are also made of a unique blueprint. Everything around us, including inanimate objects, thoughts, words, and emotions have a specific vibration and impact their environment in unique ways.
Everything that happens has a cause and effect, and the same applies when we exchange energy with others.

What Are Chakras & How Do They Work?
Chakras are energy centers located in our body that are all entwined and connected. In the chakra system that we use today, there are 114 of them spread throughout the whole body, and 7 main ones located along the spine.
These 7 chakras start at the coccyx where the Root Chakra is located and move up to the very top of our skull, where the Crown Chakra is located.
The 7 energy centers in the chakra system include:
- Root Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Solar Plexus Chakra
- Heart Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Crown Chakra
All of these chakras are interconnected and are connected to various aspects of ourselves that manifest outwardly through behavior, thoughts, and emotions.
Each of our energy centers have the power to receive, store and give energy. This is vital not only for our self-actualization and awakening but for our basic survival as human beings.
Chakras work to guide our conscious and subconscious to navigate the visible and the invisible world.
Each of them has a unique frequency and vibrational sensitivity. Through them, we take in energetic information from the outside world, release energy and send out vibrations that others can recognize as our unique blueprint or vibe.
We can easily say that the chakra system is our inner guide and compass for navigating life and interacting with everyone and everything around us. Whatever energy passes through and stays in a chakra materializes in one form or another.
The Good & Bad of the Chakra System
The chakra system works directly with the Divine and makes us open to receive blessings and guidance. When these centers are open, we are able to be unapologetically authentic, healthy, and feel good. Life is easy, and we move through it lightly.
When we are bombarded by negative vibrations for a prolonged period of time or are affected by everyday challenges, our chakras will react. Since energy is invisible, without our conscious awareness or knowing, chakras can become blocked.
This is a natural energetic shield, a form of protective mechanism that perseveres positive energy in us until the energetic threat passes.
However, if a chakra stays inhibited for a longer period, this can prevent not only free energy flow and more bad energy from coming in, but also stop us from receiving more nourishing positive energy.
When this happens, we become closed off, anxious, and create stagnant energy within, which can manifest as emotional, physical, and mental distress and even physical illness.
How Does Energy Flow Through Chakras?
The chakra system corresponds with twelve main meridians in the body. Just like the chakras, these meridians are located along the spine.
They are connected to our nervous system and represent 6 feminine and 6 masculine points in our body, all of which are responsible for the energetic exchange and distribution in the body.
