The Chakra – Beginner’s Guide

Through our chakras we connect to the world of energies and frequencies around us. Each chakra is attuned to receive and transmit a specific spectrum of frequencies, which we perceive as colors and energies, and re-interpret them with our emotions and rational mind.

You can find all the basic facts about the seven major chakras below. Take a look at our tutorials and exercises as well as the most common techniques for each chakra balancing – from root to the crown.
