Procedure

Introduction:
The concept of chakras plays a fundamental role in various spiritual and healing traditions, most notably within
Hinduism and Buddhism. The term “chakra” is derived from the Sanskrit word for “wheel” or “disk” and refers to
energy points or centers in the human body that are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body.
These energy centers are thought to be interconnected with different aspects of your physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual health.

Name of chakras
There are traditionally seven main chakras, which are aligned
along the spine, starting from the base of the spine to the crown
of the head. Each chakra is associated with specific functions,
elements, colors, stones, and symbols. Here’s a brief overview:

1 Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine,
it is associated with the element of earth and represents our
foundation and feeling of being grounded. Its color is typically
red.
2 Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Located just below the
navel, it is associated with the element of water and pertains
to our ability to accept others and new experiences. Its color
is often orange.

3 Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Located in the upper abdomen in the stomach area, it is associated with
the element of fire and represents our ability to be confident and in control of our lives. The color associated
with this chakra is yellow.
4 Heart Chakra (Anahata): Located at the center of the chest, just above the heart, it is associated with the
element of air and represents our ability to love. The color green is often associated with the heart chakra.

5 Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Located at the throat, it is associated with the element of ether and represents
our ability to communicate. Its color is blue.
6 Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Located on the forehead between the eyes, it is associated with the ability to focus
on and see the big picture. The color indigo is associated with this chakra.
7 Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Located at the very top of the head, it is associated with the ability to be fully
connected spiritually. The color violet or white is associated with this chakra.
Balancing these chakras is believed to lead to health and harmony in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects
of life. Various practices, including yoga, meditation, and the use of specific stones or crystals, are used to align
and balance these chakras
