Third Eye: Located at the brow between the two physical eyes.
Throat: Located in the centre of the neck, both front and back
Heart: located in the centre of the chest slightly to the right of the physical heart.
Solar Plexus: Located at the breastbone.
Sacral: Located just above the pubic bone, about a handspan below the navel.
Base or Root: Located at the base of the spine.
Each chakra has a corresponding color and energy attached to it, as well as a sound, one or more crystals and various exercises to keep it open, activated, clear of blockages and flowing with vibrant energy.
Gemstones, crystals, rocks, and minerals are excellent tools to call upon when working with your chakras as they all have different healing and metaphysical properties.
