What are the seven chakras?
There are actually many chakras in and around our bodies but we focus mainly on the 7 major chakras: Root, Sacral, Navel Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. The first 3 chakras, the lower triangle, may be thought of as our foundation. Grounded in the physical realm, they cover basic life necessities: security, survival, sexuality, creativity, intimacy, identity, and ego. The fourth chakra, the heart chakra, is the bridge to the 3 higher chakras and represents love and compassion. The 3 chakras of the higher triangle are associated with the spiritual realm: expression, core truth, divine wisdom, intuition, connection to the higher self, and transcendence.
