What are Chakras?

In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs.

To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.

There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the root, or base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. That said, some people believe you have at least 114 different chakras in the body.

Root Chakra

The root chakra, or Muladhara, is located at the base of your spine. It provides you with a base or foundation for life, and it helps you feel grounded and able to withstand challenges. Your root chakra is responsible for your sense of security and stability.

Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below your belly button. This chakra is responsible for your sexual and creative energy. It’s also linked to how you relate to your emotions as well as the emotions of others.

Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra, or Manipura, is located in your stomach area. It’s responsible for confidence and self-esteem, as well as helping you feel in control of your life.

Heart Chakra

The heart chakra, or Anahata, is located near your heart, in the center of your chest. It comes as no surprise that the heart chakra is all about our ability to love and show compassion.

Throat Chakra

The throat chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in your throat. This chakra has to do with our ability to communicate verbally.

Third Eye Chakra

The third eye chakra, or Ajna, is located between your eyes. You can thank this chakra for a strong gut instinct. That’s because the third eye is responsible for intuition. It’s also linked to imagination.

I am an ordained Reverend and Initiated Afro-Caribbean Spiritualist. I have psychic and medical intuitive abilities. I realized as early as 5 years old that I was different. I saw people that others didn’t see and had “memories” that weren’t my own. In middle school, during lunch, I’d read palms for quarters. In high school, I began reading about witchcraft and made very potent love spells. In my undergrad, I met like-minded people and learned about Obeah, Haitian Vodou, Quindomble, Palo then Ifa. I ultimately met my Godfather in Lucumi, the Regla de Ocha. When I moved back to NYC, I received my initiation in Afro-Caribbean spirituality. I finished my undergrad in Florida and went on to complete an MSc in Globalisation and Development in London. In many ways travelling abroad opened my eyes to systems, government, and society. Spiritually, I neglected serving my spirit. I moved to NYC with stars in my eyes, dreaming of working with an IGO or high-level NGO. Instead, I went through the most unglamorous transformation and training to become the esoteric warrior you see in that picture above. I was even more stunned by the strong calling I received to spiritually serve as a career. Through meditations, I began to realise that many people who came my way were in need of my esoteric skill set. Even though it was not obvious at first, people came to me to dismantle old habits, stagnant lives and toxic systems. It was not an easy decision to take an alternate less traveled path but deep down, I know that this is my purpose, my life’s work. I help those that have done due diligence and they don’t know where else to turn. I get the root of what is preventing you from moving forward. Using practical and spiritual means, I lead you back to your fullest self. **I work with any/everyone regardless of gender, race, religion, political affiliation. I leave judgment to the creator.
