Understanding Chakras and Energy

When you were in school, your science teacher taught you about one energy principle, and that being:

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” - Albert Einstein

With this teaching, many of us went "but where does it go though". The universe re-absorbs it, changing it into the earth, to use on something else to put it simply. I know, not what you were expecting, yet the earth purifies the negative into a positive energy source. Similar to how trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Learning about your natural energy fields within yourself, will help you manifest, come to consciousness and meditate easier. The bodies chakras are an extension to our anatomical connections, emotional connections, physical connections and spiritual connections.

“The wonderful world of chakras. It's unleashing the magic within yourself; to manifest what you want, and to grow as an individual. It's about connecting within yourself. ” - Lex

There are seven chakras, and each represent certain aspects of human physical and mental awareness. By cleansing all or individual chakras, it brings balance by releasing blocked emotional energy, old patterns and negative emotions. It restores yourself to self-heal and bring you closer to your self-awareness/consciousness.

So What Now, What Does This All Mean

To start, learning the basics of what the seven chakras are and what they do will help you explore deeper into each one. I would suggest looking at the whole, and concentrating on one or two at a time. Familiarizing yourself this way, will help you when you're ready to dive into them deeper.
