We should know that all of our 7 chakras are balance. Here is the list of chakras and an introductory article for each chakras , from root to crown. 

1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) 

To know the position of root chakras we place it at the base of the spine which gives us the feeling of being grounded. Root chakras represents foundation. When the root chakra is open, we feel confident in our ability to withstand challenges and stand confidentally. When it's blocked, we feel threatened, as if we're standing on unstable ground. 

· Location: Base of spine, in tailbone area 

· What it controls: Survival issues such as financial independence, money, and food 

· Color: Red 

· Element: Earth 

2. Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) 

The sacral chakra helps inform how we relate to our emotions and the emotions of others. It also governs creativity and sexual energy. Those with a blocked sacral chakra could feel a lack of control in their lives.

· Color: Orange 

· Element: Water 

3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) 

The third chakra, the solar plexus chakra, speaks to your ability to be confident and in control of your life. Think back to the last time you had butterflies or felt a pit in the stomach: That's the Manipura chakra at work. If your solar plexus chakra is blocked, you might feel overwhelming amounts of shame and self-doubt. Those with open sacral chakras are free to express their true selves.

4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) 

The heart chakra is the bridge between the lower chakras (associated with materiality) and the upper chakras (associated with spirituality). As the name suggests, this chakra can influence our ability to give and receive love—from others and ourselves. Someone with a blocked heart chakra will have difficulty fully opening up to the people in their life. If someone's heart is open, they can experience deep compassion and empathy.

· What it controls: Love, joy, and inner peace 

· Color: Green 

· Element: Air 

5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) 

The throat chakra gives voice to the heart chakra and controls our ability to communicate our personal power. When it's functioning at full capacity, it allows us to express ourselves truly and clearly. Someone with a blocked throat chakra will feel like they have trouble finding the words to say how they truly feel. 

· Location: Throat 

· What it controls: Communication, self-expression, and truth 

· Color: Light Blue/Turquoise 

· Element: Sound/Music 

6. Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna) 

As we move up the body, we're getting closer to communion with the divine. The third-eye chakra controls our ability to see the big picture and connect to intuition. Think of it as the eye of the soul: It registers information beyond the surface level. Visions and intuitive hits are not uncommon for someone with an open third-eye chakra. 

· Location: Forehead between the eyes (also called the Brow Chakra) 

· What it controls: Intuition, imagination, and wisdom

7. Crown Chakra (Samsara or Sahasrara)

· Location: The very top of the head
