What Are Chakras and Why They Matter


In the vast web of universal energy, every human being is a living, breathing energy system. Your body is more than just physical — it is a complex network of energy pathways that interact with the world around you.


The term chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit, symbolizing a spinning vortex of energy. These chakras are energy centers that regulate your vitality, emotions, and spiritual growth. When they are balanced, you feel grounded, vibrant, and connected. When blocked, you may experience physical discomfort, emotional turbulence, or lack of clarity.

  • Lower Triangle (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus): Deals with physical needs, survival, and emotions.

  • Upper Triangle (Throat, Third Eye, Crown): Governs higher consciousness, intuition, and spiritual connection.

  • Heart Chakra (Anahata): Serves as the bridge between the lower and upper chakras, integrating body and spirit.

Balancing and opening your chakras is like fine-tuning an instrument. When your energy flows freely, you experience harmony and deep inner peace.


Root Chakra Healing: Foundation and Stability


The Root Chakra (Muladhara) is the energy center at the base of your spine, connected to grounding, survival, and your sense of belonging. It forms the foundation for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Key Associations

  • Color: Red

  • Location: Base of the spine between.

  • Sense: Smell

  • Element: Earth

  • Supporting Foods: Proteins, root vegetables


Meaning and Purpose

The first chakra is your foundation - the realm of habits and automatic behavior, instinctual patterns for survival which is unconscious. It governs unconscious habits, fears, and instinctual behaviors.

A balanced Root Chakra brings security, stability, and self-acceptance, while imbalance can lead to fear, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from life.


Physical Associations

  • Lack of focus or motivation

  • Physical issues in legs and feet

  • Addictive behaviors

  • Constipation or digestive discomfort

  • Emotional heaviness or depression


The Role of Scent

It is associated with the sense of smell. When you hold all the toxins in you begin to reek. When it functions well you radiate a sweet smell. The exact composition of that smell will vary according to the functioning of the overall frequency of your consciousness, due to the mix of glandular activity that accompanies the chakras involved. This is the basis of aromatherapy.


Yoga for Root Chakra Activation

Certain yoga poses help strengthen and balance the Root Chakra:

  • Sat Kriya

  • Crow Pose

  • Chair Pose

  • Frog Pose

  • Mulbandh (Root Lock)

  • Gentle stretches lying on the stomach with feet kicking toward the buttocks


Tip: Combine yoga with sound therapy for deeper healing. Low-frequency tuning forks such as 128 Hz, 64 Hz, or Solfeggio 396 Hz are ideal for Root Chakra work.


These frequencies help to:

  • Release energetic blockages

  • Calm the nervous system

  • Promote grounding and stability

  • Harmonize your body’s electromagnetic field

  • Communicate clearly, effectively and confidently

  • Inspire, teach, and uplift others through words and actions

  • Align your speech with your soul’s purpose

  • Act with integrity and embody spiritual will

  • Hearing and Speaking the truth

The Role of Ether and Vibration

The element of ether represents the space in which sound and vibration move, allowing thoughts and words to take form.When this chakra flows freely, you speak and create consciously, manifesting aligned actions and relationships.

Sound and vibration are especially powerful tools for balancing this chakra. Chanting mantras, toning, or working with specific frequencies can activate Vishuddha and harmonize your energetic field.

Claudia works with Solfeggio 963 Hz tuning forks, specialized pineal gland frequencies, and the Crystal Tuners—precision high frequencies of 4096 Hz, 4160 Hz, and 4225 Hz—to elevate your energy field.

  • 4096 Hz (“The Angel Tuner”) helps clear mental fog, activate intuition, and open the upper chakras, especially the Third Eye and Crown.

  • 4225 Hz (the Soul Star Activator) works beyond the crown into higher dimensions of consciousness, aligning with spiritual purpose and destiny.


A quartz is used in their activation to amplify clarity and sustain the tone via its piezoelectric effect. This enhances the purity and precision of the sound, allowing the frequencies to work gently yet deeply.
