Muladhara Chakra

This is the very basic chakra, situated in the pelvic region. The Sanskrit word “moola” stands for the root and the words “adhara” stands for the foundation. This chakra is the foundation of the human beings, physical, mentally as well as spiritually. This is the chakra that is the reservoir of the sexual energy and has Shiva as its lord.

Swadhistan Chakra 

The Sanskrit word swadhistan means the home of the self. This is the higher chakra which tends to have better control over animal instincts of sex, food, and sleep etc which help to maintain our greater identity as humans. Development of this chakra helps to exercise complete control over sexual and basic human instincts.

Manipura Chakra 

The word Manipur signifies the presence of a Mani (a lustrous gem). This chakra is located near the naval region. Manipur chakra is the center of the fire. It is the center which regulates the heat and energy inside the human body. Control over this chakra helps one to achieve supernatural control over the temperature regulation of the body. One can get control over anger and similar fiery emotions with control over this chakra. Control over this chakra also enables complete control of the involuntary functions of the digestive system. This is actually magical!

Anahata Chakra 

This chakra resides in the center of the chest. This chakra is called Anahata because the word means the one that is not hit. Sound or nada is produced when the two things hit together in the mortal world. But when Anahata chakra is developed, one can hear the supernatural sounds that do not exist in the realm of the physical world. When this chakra is opened, one can hear the chants of the sacred mantra in his mind, without making any conscious attempt to do so. 

Vishuddhi Chakra 

This chakra is present in the cervical plexus. This chakra signifies the purity of character. According to Ashtanga yoga, one can dissolve all sanskaras or prejudices when this chakra is awakened. As the chakra resides in the throat region, the blossoming of this chakra leads to a medious voice, quality of oration and convincing powers. As with opening of this chakra, the person becomes free from most of his bad sanskaras, he develops a clear and pious character naturally. Such people are the leaders, spiritual teachers and have the power of Saraswati (the goddess of wisdom) in their voice. 

Agya Chakra 

The Sanskrit word “agya” means the command. This chakra is supposed to be situated in the head region, between the two eyebrows. This chakra controls the entire metabolism of the body & all the other chakras as well which is also called the third eye. The third eye refers to the eye of wisdom, which is beyond the 2 physical eyes. The awakening of this chakra offers deep wisdom and spiritual insight to the yogi. Interestingly, this chakra also coincides with the pineal gland, which is called the master gland. The pineal gland is the controller of all the endocrine glands and orchestrates the entire physiology. A person with awakened Agya chakra is said to possess absolute control over the mind and the body.

Sahasrara Chakra 

This name is derived from a Sanskrit word Sahashtra meaning – A thousand. This chakra is located on the back of the head. Ancient Brahmins and Egyptians used to keep a small hair tail on this point of the head. This is the highest spiritual point in the realm of matter. As this chakra is awakened, the dormant kundalini rises from the Muladhara and reaches the supreme point to dissolve in the divine energy. This chakra, when awakened, helps the yogi to reach the state of Samadhi or ultimate union with the divine power.
