A Beginner's Guide to Chakra Healing

Neha Maniyar7 min read5 March 2026

Chakra healing is an ancient practice rooted in the understanding that our bodies contain energy centres, or chakras, that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. When these centres are balanced, we feel vibrant and aligned. When they're blocked, we may experience physical discomfort, emotional turbulence, or a general sense of being "stuck."

The Seven Chakras

There are seven main chakras, each located along the spine and associated with specific aspects of our being:

  • Root Chakra (Muladhara) — Base of spine. Governs security, stability, and basic needs.
  • Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) — Below navel. Governs creativity, pleasure, and emotions.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) — Stomach area. Governs confidence, personal power, and self-esteem.
  • Heart Chakra (Anahata) — Centre of chest. Governs love, compassion, and connection.
  • Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) — Throat. Governs communication and self-expression.
  • Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) — Between eyebrows. Governs intuition and inner wisdom.
  • Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) — Top of head. Governs spiritual connection and consciousness.

Signs of Blocked Chakras

You might recognise some of these signs in yourself:

  • Feeling anxious or insecure (Root Chakra)
  • Creative blocks or emotional numbness (Sacral Chakra)
  • Low self-esteem or indecision (Solar Plexus Chakra)
  • Difficulty in relationships or self-love (Heart Chakra)
  • Fear of speaking up or being heard (Throat Chakra)
  • Feeling disconnected from your intuition (Third Eye Chakra)
  • Lack of purpose or spiritual disconnect (Crown Chakra)

What Happens During Chakra Healing?

During a chakra healing session at Couch of Vibes, Neha uses a combination of energy healing techniques, guided meditation, and sometimes crystal placement to identify and clear blockages in your energy centres. Sessions last 60 minutes and are deeply relaxing.

Benefits of Regular Chakra Healing

With regular sessions, many people experience improved emotional resilience, greater clarity, better sleep, reduced anxiety, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves and others.
