What are Chakras
What are Chakras?
The word “Chakra” is a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel” so named by Indian Masters who were able to see and hear vortices of colored spinning energy operating within specific locations within their body during meditation. The drawings we have now come from ancient texts describing these visions.
Symbols shown on the person sitting illustrate the general location and color of each of our 9 chakras. Unique to the illustration is the multi-colored ring around the heart chakra center, as found in the ChakraSynergy crop circle. The lower ring indicates the lower heart chakra, and the upper portion of the ring indicates the upper heart chakra. For more on the Heart Chakra Complex see my video: ChakraSynergy & the Alchemy of Love.
In essence, chakras are non-material “energetic centers of consciousness” that operate within a quantum field of energy that encompasses our physical body. As we have a physical body and physical anatomy, we have a spiritual body and spiritual anatomy that animates our physical body. Chakras are part of our spiritual anatomy.
While we can see and touch our physical body, our chakra system is invisible – yet we can feel and experience the subtle energies located within each of our chakras. To experience each of your chakras, see my video: 2 Minute Spirit Test.
ChakraKey shows us how spirit and flesh are joined together as one Divine Being in a wholly matrimony, that we might experience the wonder and beauty of living in the 3-dimensional realm of Earth. We are designed to survive the wilds of Earth and to co-exist with others in love, peace, harmony, in a state of homeostasis. (Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues.)

Listed below is a basic description of each chakra with its associated drive, location, color, frequency, purpose, and way we experience love through each energetic center. As you read about each chakra, bring your attention to that area, and see how the description resonates with how you feel.
1. Root Chakra — Drive for Survival
Location: Base of spine in tailbone area.
Color: Red
Frequency: 432Hz
Purpose: The Root Chakra seeks to connect with things or people that add to the sense of safety and survival in the material world. Through finding Security, the Root Chakra experiences RELIEF followed by Thankfulness – the face of Love that calms and satisfies the Root Chakra.
2. Sacral Chakra -Drive for Sex, Physical Pleasure, Creative Expression
Location: Pelvis area
Color: Orange
Frequency: 480Hz
Purpose: The Sacral Chakra is concerned with pleasure, procreation, sex, and physical pleasure. It seeks to connect with experiences or people that can connect it with the ongoing experience of excitement and gratification. As the Sacral Chakra connects with what gives it pleasure, SENSUAL DELIGHT is experienced– the face of Love that excites and
3. Solar Plexus Chakra — Drive for Personal Power – to WIN
Location: Between diaphragm and belly button
Color: Yellow
Frequency: 528Hz
Purpose: The Solar Plexus is concerned with power. It seeks to connect with people or experiences that will enhance and increase its sense of personal power in the world. When it makes a successful connection and its power is increased, EXHILARATION is experienced– the face of Love that uplifts fulfills, and satisfies the Solar
4. Lower Heart Chakra — Drive for Personal Love
Location: 10th vertebra
Color: Yellow Green
Frequency: 552Hz
Purpose: The Lower Heart Chakra is concerned with Personal Love relationships. It seeks to connect with people, pets, or experiences that can connect it with the experience of feeling special and loved on a personal level– because of who you are as a person– just for being yourself. When the Lower Heart Chakra successfully
5. CenterHeart Chakra — Drive to Express Love
Location: 7th vertebra
Color: Green
Frequency: 600Hz
Purpose: Center Middle Heart Chakra is our energetic speaker -concerned with passionate expression. It wants to connect with others directly on a heart-to-heart level. It’s like a burning fire that wants to initiate an action that creates an effect in the world, makes an impact– wakes the other person up and starts a process of an intense
energy connection. When the Center Heart Chakra successfully makes an impact on another or others– connects with them on an intense level that creates both people feeling intensely connected in rapt attention, it experiences PASSIONATE INVOLVEMENT– the most intense and fiery love connection. This is the face of love that satisfies the Center Heart Chakra.
6. Upper Heart Chakra — Drive for Bliss, Unconditional Love
Location: 3rd vertebra
Color: Turquoise Blue
Frequency: 624Hz
Purpose: The Upper Heart Chakra is concerned with impersonal love relationships. It seeks to connect with others in a way that involves the mind and spirit and has loftier ideals than strictly the personal, physical life. This is the chakra that sings uplifting, inspirational songs, or that becomes involved with projects that help
humankind. When the Upper Heart Chakra successfully connects with a spiritual path that it resonates with, or with another person who carries similar inspirational energy, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is released and experienced. This is the face of love that satisfies the Upper Heart.
Throat Chakra — Drive for Communication, to speak one’s truth
Location: Throat
Color: Blue
Frequency: 672Hz
Purpose: The Throat Chakra is concerned with logic, our conscience, and communication. It seeks to connect with others mentally, verbally, to understand, and to be understood. It seeks a full cycle of communication and the feeling of ‘being heard’ and accepted. When the Throat Chakra successfully connects with another on a
mental level and feels understood, RECOGNITION OF A KINDRED SOUL is experienced. This is the face of Love that satisfies the Throat Chakra. When the communication cycle does not form a complete loop of mutual understanding and acceptance, it is lopsided due to too much or too little listening. Too much listening to the thoughts and beliefs of others can result in being brainwashed and losing one’s own innate point of view. Too little listening – or superficial listening – results in not connecting deeply with what the other person is saying and the joy of a true mental rapport is lost. On a more serious level, not listening to what the other person is saying – trying to communicate – leads to arguing and fighting as a technique to try to force the other person to ‘hear’ us (misuse of the Solar Plexus Chakra and of Power). This abuse of power to force another person to accept our position leads to bullying, and in the case of countries, it leads to wars.
8. Brow Chakra — Drive for insight and to see the solution
Location: Center of Brow
Color: Purple
Frequency: 720Hz
Purpose: The Brow Chakra is our command center, concerned with accurate perception and seeing the Big Picture. The Brow finds pleasure in ‘ah-ha’ moment through transcendent realizations. Such realizations change the course of our lives and empower us to make clear choices that result in successfully manifesting our
dreams. When the Brow Chakra successfully connects with an ‘ah ha’ moment, ECSTASY is the face of Love we feel. If the desire for more and more knowledge becomes exaggerated in the quest for the ecstasy of the ‘ah ha’ moment, our lives can become devoid of the sensual pleasures that our bodies need to feel loved. Life becomes dry and lacking the vitality of creative energy. Then the shadow side of its counterpart – the Sacral Chakra – is evoked and we begin to feel shame around the fun of spontaneously being ourselves and participating fully in life. Once again, it is the principle of balance that leads to a steady and truly fulfilling life in which a steady stream of all the different faces of Love can be experienced.
9. Crown Chakra — Drive to connect with the Divine
Location: Crown of head
Color: Violet / White
Frequency: 786Hz
Purpose: The Crown Chakra is concerned with connecting with a Higher Power and being at one moment with ourselves and all others. It seeks to find the right spiritual path – or practice of prayer or meditation – that will connect it with the clear Divinity it seeks. When that connection is made, the Crown experiences the ultimate
pleasure of FREEDOM from worldly attachment and thereby a self-mastery in approaching daily life situations. From this vantage point, it is possible to fully experience life without the attachment that leads to suffering when things don’t go as we had planned. Freedom is the face of Love that satisfies the Crown Chakra. If the desire for freedom from material things becomes exaggerated, we can become lost in prayer, meditation, and reaching for ‘higher things’ to the extent of not being able to survive on our own in the material world. We then inevitably evoke the shadow side of the Crown’s counterpart – the Root Chakra – and fear and anxiety can creep into our lives. We have lost the balance of being grounded on the earth and having the full human experience with strength and confidence.
