Which Direction Does The Chakra Feel Like It Rotates Within You?

Chakras are vital energy centers that spin to move energy around the body, acting as gateways for receiving and directing energy from the universe. They are constantly in motion, spinning and rotating to maintain good health and vibrancy. The life-force energy (chi or prana) within us is constantly spinning and rotating, with seven main wheels (chakras) in our body, starting at the base of our spine. Each chakra relates to our body functions and emotions.

The Muladhara, or root chakra, represents our foundation and sits at the base of the spine. It gives us a sense of being grounded. Nature therapy and walking barefoot can help us feel connected and grounded. A blocked root chakra is associated with fear.

Chakra alignment exercises can benefit both the mind and body by aligning the chakras. Chakras can turn clockwise or counterclockwise, and can change directions as needed. Clockwise is the same direction from any view if you look at the face of a clock. The crown and root chakra are facing up and down respectively.

Chakras move clockwise for absorbing energy and counterclockwise for pulling energy from our body. According to yoga teacher Janie Pelletier, all chakras converge towards the heart, like a wave or ray going towards it. Those who are sensitively in tune with their body may experience sensations of whizzing, whirring, buzzing, and tingling.

When our chakras are open and balanced, they spin in a clockwise direction, spinning energy away from the bottom of our spines to the crown of our heads. Understanding and balancing these chakras can lead to improved health and vibrancy.
