Our world is full of high-energy vibrations. Many of you may already be aware of the 7 major chakras or energy points found within your body. In this article, I’ll go beyond the 7 major chakras to explore the 12 chakra system that includes 5 additional chakras found outside of your physical body and into your energetic sphere. Let’s get to know the 12 chakra system and what they each mean. 

What Are Chakra Systems?

In Sanskrit, Chakra translates to the word “wheel”. In other cultures, like Hindu and Chinese, they refer to Chakras as Prana life-force, Chi, or Qi-energy. 

So, Chakras refer to energy points, wheels, or channels in which energy or life force flows through us. These energy points allow us to remain balanced on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. However, it’s so common now to find imbalances or blockages in our chakras due to past trauma, stress, self-sabotaging habits, and other chaotic energy. If left unchecked, these imbalances can turn into more serious physical, emotional, or spiritual illnesses. 

Most people are familiar with the 7 primary chakra systems, which include the root (base), sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye (brow), and crown chakras. The 12 chakra system includes the 7 primary chakras, plus 5 transpersonal chakras found outside the body. Some go even further to recognize up to 114 different chakras.

The 12 Chakra System

Each chakra is associated with a particular location, color, function, and vibrational frequency. By further understanding the 12 chakra system we can find balance in our physical health and discover powerful energy outside of our bodies to connect us directly to the Source.

0. Earth Star Chakra

The Earth Star Chakra is what grounds you and connects you to Mother Earth. Located about 12 inches below your feet, this energy point provides oneness with humanity and Earth’s life force.

1. Root Chakra

The Root Chakra is one of the primary energy points found within our bodies at the base of the spine, in the pelvic area, and the center of our body. This is the most vital life force within our physical body. It grounds us to help us stay centered, secure, safe, active, and energized. Our Root Chakra allows the flow of energy from Mother Earth into your other chakras. So, without the Root Chakra in alignment, the rest of your chakras will remain imbalanced as well.
