Chakra’s are focal points in the subtle body, used in a variety of ancient meditation practices, collectively known as Tantra, or the esoteric or inner traditions of Hinduism. The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. According to these traditions, chakras are centers within our body’s physical and subtle anatomy, with each chakra corresponding to specific aspects of our life and internal states.
Understanding Chakras and Their Significance
There are seven main chakras, each located along the spine, starting from the base and moving up to the crown of the head. These chakras are:
- Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine, it is associated with the color red and represents grounding and survival needs like shelter and security.
- Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Found below the navel, this orange chakra governs creativity, sexual energy, and the expression of emotions.

Keeping Chakra’s Clear and Balanced
Maintaining clear and balanced chakras is thought to contribute to an individual’s overall physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Listening to a chakra meditation video is indeed one of the methods that can help in maintaining clear and balanced chakras. Chakra meditation often involves guided instructions that lead you through a series of visualisations or mantras associated with each chakra.
The audio in these videos is typically composed of calming sounds and frequencies that are believed to resonate with and balance the chakras. By focusing on each chakra during the meditation and using the audio as a tool to enhance concentration and relaxation, individuals may find this practice supportive in aligning and clearing their chakras.
