In many cases, many diseases that happen in the human body may be traced back to one or more blocked chakras. Just as there is a physical dimension of the human body so there is a body of energy also known as pranamaya kosha.

The seven chakras are energetic points located in the energy body. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit as they can also be seen as wheels that facilitate the flow of energy.

Starting from the first to the last chakra, we will have a look at the symptoms of blocked chakras and briefly mention what a healthy chakra looks like as well. Hope this will help you understand which of these energy centers needs attention and care and help you improve your overall health.

If you have any of the blocked chakra symptoms, have a look at this post where I talk about what causes chakra imbalances and some chakra balancing remedies.
