Did you know that you have many hundreds of chakras (What Are Chakras?)? Some are large and have specific and important energetic functions for health, vitality, and well-being. While many of the smaller ones typically focus on bringing energy into your body. There is so much information available online and in books about chakras. With this in mind, I wanted to share my perceptions and experiences of the 10 chakra system you need to know, without regurgitating and duplicating widely available information.
10 Chakras You Need To Know
Soul Star Chakra
The Soul Star Chakra is situated outside of your physical body (transpersonal chakra), about 6 inches above the Crown Chakra.
This chakra is associated with spiritual connection and enlightenment.
When open this chakra can shine very brightly and is probably the halo that is mentioned in ancient texts.
If you work with attunements, you may be interested in the Soul Star Chakra Activation Maintenance Attunement.
Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra is located in the middle of the top of the head.
This chakra is one of the main chakras within the body and concerns devotion, unity, and self-realisation. This may also include a connection with spirit and your high-self.
Interestingly many forms of energy healing will use the Crown Chakra as an ‘entrance’ into the etheric bodies.

Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra is located roughly between the eyes, just slightly higher.
This chakra is typically associated with intuition, seeing things as they are and spiritual insight. This chakra tends to get a lot of attention as many want these types of skills and spiritual gifts, resulting in the other chakras being neglected.
Interesting the Third Eye Chakra is often balanced with the Heart Chakra, which seems to suggest that compassion for others is essential to expand this chakra.

Throat Chakra
The Throat Chakra is located roughly in the region of the thyroid gland in the lower neck.
This chakra is typically associated with speaking your truth and more often than not, the feeling that you are unable to speak your truth.
This means that the Throat Chakra does tend to get blockages reasonably often.

Thymus Chakra
The Thymus Chakra is located slightly above the thymus gland, which is located roughly between the Heart and Throat Chakras.
This chakra is a personal favourite, and I tend to work with this chakra both on myself and with clients very often. This is because the Thymus Chakra is typically associated with compassion for self (many people battle with this), forgiveness, and increasing and maintaining vitality and well-being.
In the blog post, Forgiveness And The Thymus Chakra, I discuss how the Thymus Chakra may help with forgiveness (other and self), and it also includes an exercise.

Heart Chakra
The Heart Chakra is located roughly in the centre of the chest, close to the heart.
This chakra is associated with compassion for others, acceptance, and forgiveness. There is a lot to be said about a fully open Heart Chakra.
When the energies of love and compassion pour out, they can often be felt quite tangible. I am sure we have all experienced being with someone experiencing this.

Solar Plexus Chakra
The Solar Plexus Chakra is located roughly between the solar plexus and the navel.
This chakra is often referred to as the power-house chakra. This is because it is the centre of your personality, and when functioning well can give off a lot of energy.
It is this chakra that is associated with personal power and magnetism and force of will.
In some, this chakra can be quite demanding to maintain balance as an overactive Solar Plexus Chakra can lead you to be overbearing or if sluggish, want to shy away from the world.

Sacral Chakra
The Sacral Chakra is located between the navel and the perineum.
This chakra is associated with emotions and expressing sexuality (I must stress this has nothing to do with sexual orientation). It is all about passion, pleasure, and experience.

Base Chakra
The Base Chakra is located in the perineum area, which is roughly between the anus and the genitals.
This chakra is associated with grounding and how you feel life takes care of you. It is a more primal energy and is often associated with fear when unbalanced or blocked.
In many people who find it difficult to get enjoyment from life, this chakra is typically either damaged or not functioning optimally.

Earth Star Chakra
The Earth Star Chakra is situated outside of the physical body, about 6 inches beneath the souls of your feet.
This often forgotten about chakra can be used for grounding and connecting with the earth beneath you.
Also, it is a superb chakra for increasing vitality and well-being.

Special mention - Brachial Chakra
And a special chakra for our animal friends, the Brachial Chakra.
This chakra is only found in animals and is located in the chest area, set slightly back towards the shoulders.
This chakra assists animals in bonding with humans. This large chakra is also essential for bringing in lots of vital energies necessary for optimal animal vitality and well-being.
The blog post, The Brachial Chakra And Bonding With Your Pet provides more information about this chakra and includes an exercise about using this chakra to better bond and connect with your pet.
These are some of my perceptions that I have gained from practice and experience.
