Are Your Chakras in Alignment?
Are Your Chakras in Alignment? Why are so many people obsessed with having their chakras aligned? First off, for anyone who doesn’t know what chakras are, here’s a brief explanation: What Are Chakras? Chakras are spinning energy vortexes within the body that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. There are seven main chakras, each corresponding to specific body parts, colors, and functions. When these chakras are aligned, energy flows freely, promoting health and balance.

When we connect the root of who we are and what we are about and live our life from the heart, our true self emerges. We speak our truth literally from the heart and soul, see the panoramic perspective on life, raise our frequency, and manifest the life we desire.
