For example;It is all too easy to think “ Yeh the solar plexus  is yellow and is sometimes linked with digestive problems, but hey  I don’t have digestive problems so that doesn’t affect me!”

It goes so much deeper than that.

To me the Chakras are an energetic link directly to your subconscious mind. They can reveal so much more and as you delve into them deeper, they can reveal many of your subconsciously held patterns, behaviours, fears and programming.

A good way to highlight this way of thinking is to take the throat chakra. We already know on a basic level it is the centre of communication, linked to the whole throat and neck area. The whole respiratory channel.

On a deeper spiritual level it is often linked with the ability to stand up and speak our own truth.

On an every day level, we are all much more aware of the significance of body language, that no matter what we are saying, the body may be giving different clues away!

We know that if someone is not telling the truth, they very often scratch the nose area, or touch the mouth etc. This is their throat chakra – actually giving physical signals it is uncomfortable with what is being said! Although the person may be using their mind to manipulate or cover something up, their TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF, directly linked with the chakras and the energy of the soul is wanting to say something else.

You may even recall feeling uncomfortable telling an untruth yourself in the past, the energy doesn’t sit in one place, it has an affect elsewhere, it is intricately linked with your subconscious, as it can’t verbally talk to you, it has to give you tiny, almost imperceptible sensations, within or around you. As you slow down your conscious race to get through the day and become more aware of your own energy, then you are more likely to be able to interpret and understand what your own authentic self/subconscious is trying to tell you.

Every single chakra is linked and related and works in this way, they can make you aware of habits or even thought patterns you might have, that could be holding you back, at work or in relationships. It could even highlight where you might be physically weaker and more prone to illness or disease.

There is so much more to learn about ourselves than we consciously know.
