Chakras are energy centers located within the body, and they play important roles in our lives, whether we realize it or not. The alignment of our chakras is essential for us to live healthy, balanced, and abundant lives. Learn more about chakras in a guide to balance and spirituality.

What Are Chakras

Chakras—or “wheels” in ancient Sanskrit—are energy centers in our bodies that correspond to organs and nerve bundles. When these chakras are blocked or out of alignment, we may have difficulty manifesting positive energy, balance, and peace in our lives. But when our chakras are open, they allow our vital life force to flow freely, creating physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. We’re able to step into our spiritual power, leading to feelings of tranquility, harmony, and health.
