Chakras are spinning wheels of energy. These energy centers are found through out the body starting near the base of the spine, which go straight up to top of the head. The vortex draws in energy from the earth and/or universe. Each one spins independently and at its own speed. Just as the physical body has internal organs to keep us alive and running smoothly, the etheric/energy body is regulated by the Chakras.

There are seven Chakras. Listed below are their names and functions:

1. Root Chakra- Located at the base of the spine near the tail bone. This is where your sense of stability and security come from. Your physical connection to the mother earth and your competence to succeed in the material world are governed in this Chakra. 
2.  Sexual Chakra- Located just under your belly button. This is where your emotions, sense of self, self esteem, self value, and sexuality are balanced.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra- Located right below the breast bone. This is where your receptivity to your higher power is. You may receive intuitive messages through here. It is also where you feel/get your inner strength, courage and sense of accomplishment.
4. Heart Chakra- Located in the center of the chest. This is where your ability to love and be loved are regulated. Compassion also comes from this Chakra.
5. Throat Chakra- Located where the bottom of your neck meets the collar bone. It is here, where your creativity and capability to communicate through written word or speech is regulated.
6. Third Eye Chakra- Located in the center of the forehead. This is the area where the gift of clairvoyance comes from; being able to see visions, have precognitive dreams and messages.
7. Crown Chakra- Located at the back of the head where a high pony tail would be worn. This Chakra is the door to universal love and energy.  Connecting to your higher self and deeper levels of wisdom is also available at this location.

There is a lot to learn from your Chakras and the speeds in which they are spinning. If the wheel is spinning too fast you may have a feeling of anxiety and may burn out. If the wheel is spinning too slowly, you may feel blocked or sluggish.

One example of this would be:

Finding out you were sick with an illness, and then having to tell a loved one. If you get a feeling in your throat like it is closing in on you and it almost hurts, your Throat Chakra needs to speed up its pace.

Spiritual Suggestion:

You can use visualization to do a self evaluation and see which areas you may need to be sped up or slow down. In the example given above, the Throat Chakra should be focused on. Visualize the wheel spinning. Try to speed up the rotation, thus allowing a more gentle-uncluttered flow of energy. The ability to communicate should come with more ease.
