What Are the Chakras and Their Functions?

My Chakra is unaligned! Have you heard this before? I'm sure you have! How about we dive a little bit deeper on this subject?

My name is Ricardo Tinti, I'm an Energy and Spiritual Therapist working with the Humanoterapeuta (an Energy and Spiritual healing Treatment) and with Psychoanalysis and Spirituality (you get both the Psychoanalysis plus understand yourself as a spirit manifesting here on the physical plane and get energetic and spiritual techniques applied to you when needed during our sessions). You may book your sessions by messaging me o WhatsApp. But enough about me.

What are the Chakras?

Chakras are Energy Vortices. We have 7 main Chakras and several smaller ones. 

Simply put, they function as places of energetic exchange between the physical body and the energy plane.

The energy your body uses to live doesn't just come from food, it also comes from the exchange of the emanating energy (also called Prana, vital force).

The Chakras are where the energy "enters and leaves" your body. It comes from the Prana, goes straight to your cells and back.

If the chakra is working properly, it is balanced/aligned. When there is something hindering its functioning, it is unbalanced/unaligned.

But what hinders this functioning?

"...every action of the mind, when associated with an intense feeling or stronger emotion, is capable of producing extreme transfers of energy..." (Além da Matéria: uma ponte entre ciência e espiritualidade, Robson Pinheiro, Portuguese Edition, free translation).

In other words, what we are feeling will influence the good behavior of our chakras, it will influence our energy field, which in turn will influence the good functioning of our physical body. Think about a road with loads of traffic. With so many cars blocking the road (just like the energy blocks we create, but that's for other article), it gets hard to reach your destination.

Let's go for an example: if you maintain a very broad view of life with excessive demands on yourself and others (I'm talking to you team leaders), you are demanding a lot from your Third Eye Chakra, which can cause insomnia and bad sleep. 

See yourself in this situation? Take a deep breath and answer this: why this excessive demand on yourself and others?

Didn't resonate with you? Ok, let's check the Throat Chakra. This Chakra is responsible for communication and expression. If I cannot express my ideas, if I have difficulty communicating, imbalances will occur in this Chakra. 

But here is the question: what is the origin of this difficulty? Are you shy by nature or has your expression been trimmed your whole life? You know, the famous girls/boys don't behave this way? If you act this way people won't like you? Or this is a sin, you'll go to hell? 

And in the same line of reasoning, we can talk about all the Chakras:

• Lack of self-love and affection? Heart Chakra malfunction;
• Can't cope well with emotions? Solar Plexus Chakra malfunction;
• Trying to escape reality? Sacral Chakra malfunction;
• Too much fear in your life or have been trough too much violence? Basic Chakra malfunction;

All of these are emotions and feelings will influence the proper functioning of these Chakras. And, as they are energy vortices, each Chakra is responsible for energizing certain parts of your body.

For example:

• The Basic Chakra, among other things, is responsible for the adrenals, 
• Sacral Chakra is responsible for the spleen and pancreas, 
• Solar Plexus Chakra for the digestive system, 
• Heart Chakra for the lymphatic system, 
• Throat Chakra for the thyroid, 
• Third Eye Chakra for the endocrine glands, 
• Crown Chakra for the pineal gland. 

These are some examples of parts of our physical body that the Chakras are responsible for. 

If your organs are not receiving enough energy from them, you'll have problems/diseases occurring. And when the problem gets to the physical body, you'll need medical attention. But the medical attention is for you to get your body working and be able to dive into the emotional causes of those problems. If you take care of your body but not the emotions, the problems will keep coming endlessly.

Finally, there are specific energetic techniques to balance and align the Chakras. But just balancing them is not enough because if you don't act on these emotional causes (and here I'm talking about deep self-knowledge aligned with energetic and spiritual work), the chakras will continue to become unaligned. But that's what a Holistic treatment is all about, it is about treating the Physical, Energetic, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual bodies so that you can have a healthy and prosperous life.

Hope this article has generated value for you. If you want to face your demons while using energetic and spiritual techniques to help you undo all these energy blocks that are blocking your path (see what I did here?), send me a message and book your session.
