1 · Root chakra
Muladhara
Base of the spine, at the perineum
The foundation. Without a stable Muladhara, no spiritual practice holds.

The chakras in depth
Each chakra has its own page covering location, presiding deity, bija, element, signs of imbalance, a meditation practice, recommended asanas, and concrete daily-life applications. Read in order from Muladhara upward; the lower three are foundation, the upper three are realisation, and Anahata is the bridge.

2 · Sacral chakra
Svadhisthana
Lower abdomen, just below the navel — at the sacrum
The spring of generative energy — desire honestly faced becomes creativity.
3 · Solar plexus chakra
Manipura
Solar plexus, at the navel — between the ribs and the navel
The personal fire. Where intention meets the world and becomes action.
4 · Heart chakra
Anahata
Chest, at the level of the physical heart
"Anahata" means "unstruck" — the sound that arises without two things hitting each other. The heart is where the felt unity behind apparent twoness becomes accessible.
5 · Throat chakra
Vishuddha
Throat, at the level of the larynx
The seat of vac — speech that lands because it comes from somewhere true.
6 · Third-eye chakra
Ajna
Between the eyebrows, at the bhrumadhya
The eye behind the two eyes. Where what is seen and the one seeing collapse into a single act of recognition.
7 · Crown chakra
Sahasrara
Crown of the head — and slightly above it
The thousand-petalled lotus. The destination of every other chakra; not really a chakra at all but the recognition that there was never a separate self in the first place.
