The 7 Chakras Explained: A Simple Beginner's Guide
By Omar Haddad · May 29, 2026 · 7 min read
The chakra system maps seven energy centers running from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. When they're balanced, energy flows freely; when one is blocked, you feel it physically and emotionally.
The seven chakras
- Root (red) — safety, grounding, survival.
- Sacral (orange) — creativity, pleasure, emotion.
- Solar plexus (yellow) — confidence, willpower.
- Heart (green) — love, compassion, connection.
- Throat (blue) — communication, truth.
- Third eye (indigo) — intuition, insight.
- Crown (violet) — spirituality, higher purpose.
Signs of a blocked chakra
A blocked root might show up as anxiety about money or security; a blocked throat as trouble speaking your truth. Tuning into where you feel stuck points you to the center that needs attention.
An energy-healing or chakra-balancing reading can pinpoint which centers are asking for care and how to restore your flow.
