What Are The 7 Chakras?

1. Crown - Intuition. The crown chakra is located at the top of the head and it represents our connection to the universe. When we focus on our crown chakra during meditations we are strengthening intuition and mental clarity. Signs of the crown chakra opening could be intense bursts of pain in the top of the head.

2. Third eye - Sight. Our third eye chakra sits in the pineal gland in the very centre of our forehead and it allows us to see, rather than just look which is what our two physical eyes are for. When the third eye is opening we may be able to see colours during meditations.

3. Throat - Speech. The throat chakra is for clairvoyance which is the ability to speak clearly and it sits directly in the middle of the throat. During our awakening process we may find it easier to speak our truth and this is a sign that the throat chakra has been activated. 

4. Heart - Love. Our ability to love ourselves and others is dependant on how open our heart chakra is. It can become closed off through various traumas and toxins we introduce to the body, but we can open it by creating a relationship with ourselves and eating green foods.

5. Solar plexus - Power. When we recognise our power we are able to create the reality we desire, this power comes from the solar plexus chakra. We can facilitate the opening of this chakra by eating yellow foods such as pineapples and practicing manifestation techniques.

6. Sacral - Creativity. The sacral chakra is located in the lower abdomen a few inches below the navel and it is our connection to creativity as well as pleasure and sexuality. To experience fulfilling sexual experiences with others as well as enhanced creativity we can concentrate our sexual energies into our creative outlets.

7. Root - Grounding. The base of the spine or tailbone area houses our root chakra which represents our survival instincts, which can often be linked to money & food. Kundalini yoga is particularly effective for activating the root chakra which can help us to ground ourselves.

Our bodies are the most sophisticated technology on the planet.

Ghost? 👻 No, it’s a spotted skunk doing a handstand at Saguaro National Park in Arizona. 

You never know what you are going to see at America’s public lands. This strange interaction was captured by Saguaro’s wildlife camera in Happy Valley. Like the other three groups of skunks, spotted skunks are capable of spraying a strong unpleasant scent as a form of defense. But before spraying, spotted skunks will sometimes go into a handstand and attempt to intimidate any would be aggressors like this skunk is doing with the wildlife camera.
