With every passing year and in particular the covid area for many this year has taken a toll on us. Many feel out of balance, and anxiety, stress, fear and depression are on the rise. Amidst the chaos, more people than ever are turning to meditation, yoga and other calming practices to help restore balance while adding peace and tranquillity to their day.

When considering self-care options, it’s important to remember your chakras, the energy centres that run along your spine from the base of your tailbone to the crown of your head. To function at their best, these important vessels need to stay open as blockages can create physical and emotional symptoms that can make you feel misaligned. 

When some hear the word chakra, they think of new-age nonsense, but the concept of these energy vortexes dates back thousands of years in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism, and science supports their claims.

What are chakras? Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel.” We have seven main chakras (many more exist), 32 micro chakras, Some say there are 114 different chakras, but there are seven main chakras that run along your spine and each tie to specific organs and glands, which all has measurable vibrational frequencies and is related to specific colours. How many colours are in a rainbow? Seven, just as there are seven chakras. That is no coincidence. I will enlighten you with this mind-blowing fact a little further on in more detail. also when opening and aligning your chakras remember the first one you work on can be stubborn but bear in mind once the first one is open the rest are like lighting a candle from another candle, it flows with ease, 

Our seven chakras are located on the top of the head, in the centre of the forehead, in your throat, your heart, just below your chest bone, below the navel and at the base of your spine.  

What do they do?  When your car engine is working in harmony, the car runs smoothly. This is because energy is flowing through the engine. Our bodies and minds are the same. Our energy centres also have “minds” of their own, and when in harmony, we are emotionally and spiritually balanced. 

Think about this. Physically, if you feel hungry, your body sends a signal to the brain via neurotransmitters that it is time to eat. Emotionally, if you have a “gut feeling” about something, messages are also sent to your brain via an axis in your gut. That axis is your second chakra (located below the navel), which corresponds to your lower GI tract. 

Correlation to colour and sound. Stick with me here as this is fascinating stuff you may remember from science or music class…

Sound and light share the fundamental nature of vibration. And, even though the sounds we can hear have a much lower frequency than light that is visible to us, there is a range of sound frequencies that have corresponding consonant colours

Your chakra energy centres vibrate at frequencies and are measured in hertz (Hz). In science theory, it is called the light-sound bridge. This premise is the basis for how the chakra colour scale was created. 

Musical notes and including everything in our universe vibrates at a frequency, if you vibrate the notes times by the speed of light you get a colour, and if you know anything about music in the scale in the harmonics, Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do So-do! Doe, a deer, a female deer, Ray, a drop of golden sun, Me, a name I call myself, Far, a long long way to run, Sew, a needle pulling thread, La, a note to follow sew, Tea, a drink with jam and bread, That will bring us back to Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, thought you just might like to sing that to yourself,  there is seven from Do to ti, so multiply each one of those by the speed of light and you will get, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, Indigo, Violet, that’s called the light sound bridge this is one of the synchronicities of life which is fascinating, signs your on the right path, 

• You feel more peace than anxiety 
• You find purpose behind pain  
• You experience more coincidences
• You meet more like-minded people 
• Things start working in your favour 
• You see repeating number patterns. 

Synchronicities is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see, 

Synchronicity: Your questions are been answered by synchronistic events! 

Notice them and increase their flow!
