Chakras are traditionally described as the body's energy centres and are believed to influence physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This guide introduces the seven main chakras, how balanced energy may support relaxation and wellbeing, and what you can expect during a Reiki session.
What are the seven chakras?
Each chakra is traditionally associated with different aspects of physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing
- ❤️ Root Chakra – Grounding and stability.
- 🧡 Sacral Chakra – Creativity and emotions.
- 💛 Solar Plexus – Confidence and personal power.
- 💚 Heart Chakra – Love and compassion.
- 💙 Throat Chakra – Communication.
- 💜 Third Eye – Intuition.
- 🤍 Crown Chakra – Spiritual connection.
💜 Good to know
Within Reiki and many holistic wellbeing traditions, chakras are viewed as part of an energy system. There is currently no scientific test that can confirm whether a chakra is "blocked", so this information reflects traditional Reiki practice rather than medical diagnosis.

Everyone experiences stress and emotional ups and downs differently. Some people who work with chakra-based practices believe that when a chakra feels out of balance, it may be associated with certain physical, emotional or mental experiences.

Everyone experiences stress differently. These signs do not necessarily mean your chakras are out of balance. Reiki supports relaxation and wellbeing but is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
