Chakras are large energy centres linked with the body physically, mentally and emotionally. If they become out of balance this affects our health and wellbeing. Each chakra has a spiritual aspect relating to self, a dominant colour, and is linked to our endocrine glands and physical organs. There are eight chakras, which are positioned from the base of the spine up to the crown. Plus the Earth Chakra which is below the feet, and the Higher Crown Chakra which is positioned above the crown.
There are smaller energy points positioned over the body and all points large and small are connected via a network of energy channels called meridians.
Many aspects of life affect our energies, for example: what we eat, the environment we live in, how we think, generally how we treat ourselves and others. Energy follows our thoughts, and most people have had many negative thoughts about themselves over the years. The negativity that builds up as a consequence affects the whole being.
‘It is said that if you want to know what you were doing in the past, look at your body now; if you want to know what will happen to you in the future, look at what your mind is doing now.’

BRACHIAL CHAKRA
This chakra is black in colour and found only in animals. It is located on either side of the body, in the area of the shoulders. It is the main energy centre in all animals linking directly to all other chakras. Animals that have a strong, healthy link with their human companions usually have a vibrant Brachial Chakra, as it is the centre where the animal-human bond is formed and carried.
Underactive: Fearful of human contact.
Crystals: Tiger Eye, Snowflake Obsidian, Carnelian.
Ways to balance: Healing, positive affirmations for animal, loving human contact (if animal allows).
