Chakra healing also known as Chakra balancing and chakra cleansing essentially means the same thing. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel or circle. The chakras represent major areas of life. Chakra Healing is a safe way to start the Kundulini process. However, done without proper supervision and guidance of your own readiness, a surge of too much energy can be harmful (disorientation, depravity, physical pain, mental breakdown). Balancing your chakras improves your health and wellbeing, physically, mentally and emotionally. Chakras are wheels of light located all over our body.  We have thousands of them in our body but the seven major ones are located along our spine from its base to the crown of the head. Each chakra is represented by a colour of the rainbow -  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. 

Most traditional texts refer to 7 major chakras but some systems show more. Each chakra is associated with different body parts, emotions and life areas, so in balancing each chakra, you will be giving energy and help to any issues or problems you have. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is responsible for connecting us with the earth energy. Imbalances in this chakra can make one feel insecure, unsafe and also has to do with financial issues. The second chakra located in the lower pelvis has to do with sexuality and also is related to kidney energy. The third chakra in the solar plexus area of the spine has to do with personal power and will and also has to do with stomach and liver energy. The 4th chakra is located at chest level and has to do with love, compassion and heart energy. The 5th chakra in the throat area has to do with communication and expression. The 6th chakra is in the center of the head and has to do with intuition and directly perceiving the truth. The 7th chakra at the top of the head connects us with universal energy.
