I. Introduction
Chakras, derived from the Sanskrit word for ‘wheel’, are energy centers within the human body that help regulate all its processes, from organ function to the immune system and emotions. Seven chakras are positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, color, and governs specific functions that help make you, well, human.
Chakra activation is a practice that focuses on balancing these energy centers to promote overall well-being. It is an essential aspect of holistic healing and plays a significant role in maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Activating your chakras can lead to increased self-awareness, emotional stability, and a sense of inner peace. #ChakraActivation
