Sanatan Dharma believes that self-love is more than just a ritual; it’s a lifestyle. The holistic lifestyle designed by Hinduism starts deep within and radiates how you look, feel, and act. In other words, it reflects your energy and consciousness. Scientifically, we have various kinds of energy stored in different parts of the body. Chakras, aka energy centers, represent these varied energies.
Have you ever felt a rush of anxiety? That is a sign that your root chakra is imbalanced. Did you face issues with confidence and decision-making as a child? Probably your solar plexus chakra was underactive. Today, we will guide you through the extensive knowledge of the 7 major chakras in your body and how to activate them.
Here’s a gentle guide to the 7 chakras, what they represent, and the mantras and remedies that help align them:
-
Root Chakra (Muladhara Chakra)
Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra represents safety, stability, and grounding. When this chakra is balanced, you feel grounded, safe, supported, and rooted. When blocked, you might feel anxious, unstable, and unsafe.
To balance this chakra, it is recommended to wear red clothes and eat red-colored fruits. Additionally, follow a morning ritual of walking barefoot on the grass as an earthing practice. Most importantly, visualize a red light glowing at the base of the spine to harmonize the root chakra.
Take our Seven Chakra Test today and find out if your root chakra is under or over active. If so, we recommend wearing our Root Chakra Pendant, designed using sacred geometry, which is deeply studied and 100% authentic. It is thoughtfully woven in the Flower of Life, a universal symbol of connection and life force for energetic alignment.

Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana Chakra)
The sacral chakra is located at the lower abdomen and represents sensuality, emotions, and creativity. A balanced sacral chakra promotes pleasure, joy, and passion in your life. An underactive svadhisthana chakra might block your creativity and emotions.
To balance this chakra, it is recommended to practice feminine flow exercises such as yoga, pilates, and tai chi to honor your femininity. Add essential oils such as orange blossom or ylang-ylang to your daily routine. Additionally, focus on having more orange-colored foods and herbal teas with cinnamon and rose extract.

Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura Chakra)
Solar plexus chakra, situated in the upper abdomen, represents willpower, self-worth, and confidence. A balanced solar plexus chakra strengthens your power to stand in your truth and take action. On the other hand, a blocked manipura chakra might result in self-doubt, indecisiveness, and control issues.
Chakra-balancing practices for the solar plexus chakra include spending 20 minutes in the morning sunlight, which can add to the practice. It is also recommended to practise powerful solar plexus energising practices such as visualizing a golden light around your abdomen, breathwork, and embracing yellow foods and ginger tea.

4. Heart Chakra (Anahata Chakra)
Heart Chakra, as the name suggests, represents emotions, compassion, and forgiveness. Situated at the center of the chest, the anahata chakra is green in color. The air element of this chakra promotes forgiveness, emotional healing, unconditional love, and harmony with self and others.
Practicing deep, intentional breaths can help balance the heart chakra. For deep healing, savor heart-loving foods and herbal teas in your diet, including avocados, kiwi, matcha, etc. Use journaling prompts such as “Who or what do I need to forgive to free myself?” and repeat affirmations such as “I forgive myself and others with grace.”

Throat Chakra (Vishuddhi Chakra)
The throat chakra governs communication, truth, and self-expression. It represents clarity and setting healthy boundaries. If you often face challenges in speaking your truth, there is a chance that your throat chakra might be blocked.
Repeat affirmations such as “My voice matters. I speak with truth and clarity” to balance your throat chakra. Nourish the vishuddha chakra by sipping warm teas such as peppermint, ginger, and honey. Eating a balanced meal, including blue fruits like blueberries and blackberries, helps energetically support this chakra.

Third Eye Chakra (Ajna Chakra)
The third eye chakra controls and harmonizes growth hormones, intuition, and vision. When blocked, you will feel disconnected from your inner wisdom and intuitive powers, which might lead to confusion. A balanced third eye chakra helps tap into your insight and dreams.
Situated between the eyebrows, it builds trust with oneself. Grounding practices such as chanting the “OM” mantra and visualizing a glowing indigo light between the brows open the space for intuitive downloads, inner peace, and visionary thinking.
