The chakra system is an intriguing yet scientifically unproven concept, which continues to draw the interest of modern-day yoga, reiki, and new age practitioners. The chakras are energy centers, which are part of the subtle body, one that cannot be seen. However, they are illustrated as colorful symbols that you can find on the walls of most yoga studios and spiritual stores.
The chakras originate from India, with roots in Hinduism and Tantra. What we know about them today is limited, including how many there are. Some people claim there are 7 main energy centers, while others say there are 12 chakras.
A holistic energy system, the chakras are focal points in the body where energetic forces and bodily functions connect and interact with each other, affecting emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing
Many consider the chakras as doorways or gates to perception.If they are open and aligned, they are balanced, but any one or several of them can be blocked or out of alignment at any time.The seven primary chakras are the ones most discussed, however there are five secondaries, as well as minor chakras and other energetic centres.The total number within the body (and in the dimensions and aura around the human body) varies widely according to different traditions; common systems are based on 5, 7, 12, 21 or 114 chakras.
"Each of the seven chakras are governed by spiritual laws, principles of consciousness that we can use to cultivate greater harmony, happiness and wellbeing in our lives and in the world." Deepak Chopra
Chakras were first recorded in India between 1500 and 500 BCE in the Vedas, where they were mentioned as "cakras".In Buddhism and Jainism, chakra means"wheel" or the "wheel of dharma", and the chakras can be envisioned as spinning wheels or vortexes of free-flowing positive energy in the body.
The seven-chakra system commonly used today was first seen in the Kubjikämata-Tantra, an eleventh-century Shaivism/Shaktism religious text, which was translated by Sir John Woodroffe in the early twentieth century.

The earth star chakra, Vasundhara in Sanskrit, is a subpersonal chakra located below the feet. The energy center is off the body, but the exact distance is unknown, estimated to be between 6 to 18 inches below the soles of your feet.
The earth star chakra has a grounding, earthy energy like the root chakra and is described as the “grounding cord” that pulls our Lightbody towards the earth’s center. The associated color is black when unactivated and magenta (purplish-red) when open. The earth star shares many of the same qualities as the root chakra, as when activated, it allows you to feel centered and grounded and, thus, function efficiently on the physical plane. This involves the ability to maintain a job, handle finances and look after your health through diet and exercise. Conversely, if this chakra is unactivated, a person may lead a self-destructive life, struggle with addictions and struggle to find order.
In modern-day, the earth star chakra allows you to slow down the pace and connect to nature to avoid burnout from a fast-paced lifestyle. Thus, it can help us balance our responsibilities and not lose our center.
How To Activate The Earth Star Chakra
One effective way to activate the earth chakra is by “earthing,” meaning to walk barefoot on the ground. This is one of the best ways to reconnect with mother nature and increase the earth element within us.
You can do this activity anywhere, but it is best on natural earth such as grass or sand rather than concrete pavements. As with all chakra healing techniques, conscious attention is essential so stay present while “earthing” and focus on the sensation of the ground under your feet.

The soul star chakra (Sutara in Sanskrit) is the 8th energy center located 6-12 inches above the 7th chakra. The 8th chakra is also known as the halo chakra, as it represents a luminous circle of divine light above your head.
This chakra is the primary channel for divine energy to travel to the rest of the chakra system below. As a transpersonal chakra located above the body, the 8th chakra represents the higher planes of the etheric body. Its associated color is fern green.
This energy center is also associated with past lives and karmic cycles. It allows you to access Akashic Records, an energetic library of data containing the details of your soul’s journey. In modern-day life, it enables you to cultivate peace and find your purpose in life.
How To Activate The Soul Star Chakra
Spiritual practices like meditation and yoga and the best ways to channel the energy of the soul star. Visualization, in particular, is very effective.
Imagine bright light coming down from the universe and connecting to the etheric body by running through your seven primary chakras. See the light healing you physically and spiritually and then returning to the universe, leaving your soul purified and your purpose clear.
What’s more, as this chakra is related to the act of letting go, releasing negative thought patterns and traits can help activate it.
