Understanding the purpose and function of our chakras is vital to balanced living. For those with little to no understanding about the chakras, I will breifly explain what they are and what they do. "Chakra" is the sanskrit word meaning "wheel". Chakras are like wheels of light that vibrate at different color frequencies and are located all throughout our body. We have seven major chakras and numerous minor chakras. The major chakras are the focal point for most chakra meditations. There is much more to us than just our physical body; we have subtle and energetic bodies as well. The chakras act as the organs of these bodies. We are all comprised of energy and when universal energy can flow unimpeded throughout all of our bodies, then we can experience balance and harmony. The chakras connect our physical selves to our energetic, etheric, and eternal selves. Each of the seven main chakras correlate to different aspects of our self. They are:
Red: known as the root chakra; governs the skeleton, lymph, and elimination systems; relates to issues concerning safety, security, trust, survival, money, home, and job
Orange: sometimes called the sacral chakra; governs the reproductive system and assimilation; relates to issues concerning feelings, sensations, food, sex, appetite, and sexuality
Yellow: known as the solar plexus; governs the muscles and digestive system; relates to issues concerning freedom, power, control, self-direction, and intellect
Green: known as the heart chakra; governs the respiratory, circulatory, and immune systems; relates to issues concerning relating to others, giving, perceptions of love and acceptance
Blue (Turquoise): known as the throat chakra; governs growth and metabolism; relates to issues concerning expression, receiving, abundance, flowing manifestation, and listening to intuition
Indigo: known as the third eye; governs the endocrine system; relates to issues concerning spiritual awareness, individualized consciousness, intuition and clairvoyance
Violet: known as the crown chakra; governs the nervous system; relates to issues concerning connection with the Divine, universal consciousness, Source-level direction and guidance
I saw my sons aura written by Lisa Baas,

Hi Jeana! I was wondering about what I saw on my 10 year old son the other night. I have been learning about Chakras lately, and of course I have realized that I have sooo much to learn. My Son was scared and did'nt want to sleep by himself last friday night. To make a long a story short he cried a lot, and wanted to sleep in my bed. My husband was gone hunting, anyway, my son was very stressed by this point and so was I. I was holding his hand, and he was finally calming down, and I was just looking around his room, holding his hand, and all of the sudden I looked at him, and I saw the most beautifull purple swirly light around surround his chest and stomach area. I was absolutely amazed!!! My question is was this an Aura that I saw? or his Chakra? or both? thank you so much, Lisa Baas
