Chakra Energy & Kundalini

The chakra system, often referred to as a rotating wheel, consists of seven major chakras aligned with the central nervous system, encompassing the spine and head. It is believed that approximately 72,000 energy channels known as nadis, exist within the aura, transporting our life force energy —prana or chi—into the chakra system. When these energy channels intersect, they create a vortex or chakra. While numerous chakras exist within the body, we typically work with the seven primary ones for treatment. Within this system, there are three main nadis—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna— each play a significant role. Ida, located on the left of the chakra system, symbolizes feminine, negative, cold, and lunar energy, while Pingala on the right embodies masculine, positive, warm, and solar energy. The central nadi, Sushumna, is where the base chakra connects the three nadis, housing our dormant kundalini energy. A balanced chakra system allows kundalini to ascend through Sushumna, linking us to energy through the crown chakra, thus enabling us to fulfil dharma or life purpose. The interaction of kundalini and nadis invigorates our chakra system, with Ida associated with the left nostril and Pingala with the right. When our chakras are blocked or unbalanced, we may feel disconnected from our physical, mental, and emotional selves, leading a sense of unease. Chakras can absorb negative energy or be affected by past life karmic and ancestral blockages, which disrupt the flow within the nadis and chakra system. Practices such as yoga, meditation, and chakra-focused treatments help rebalance the system allowing us to rediscover our unique sense of purpose and well-being.
