The chakras are seven centres of energy present in the ethereal body – about
two centimeters away from the physical body
They are related to specific sites in the physical body, neuroplexus and endocrine
glands or organs along the spinal column where they interact to create balance
within the body.
Each chakra is a different colour and shape, described as solid ball of spinning
energy (which spins clockwise) and has a specific number of petals. These petals
represent energy channels through which energy passes from one chakra to
another to create physical, emotional and spiritual balance and a general feeling
of wellbeing.
If the petals of the chakra are not fully opened it becomes blocked and prevents
the free flow of energy. This can occur with stress and leads to either emotional
or physical imbalance affecting general wellbeing.

With Indian head massage, we treat the crown, brow and throat
chakras. However these three chakras are linked by this energy
system to all the other chakra and therefore cannot be
separated, as the energy runs from the root to the crown
chakra.
The amount of energy flowing through the chakras determines
how well an individual functions.
During an Indian head massage, the therapist will be able to feel
any imbalance in the form of either a tingling sensation or
change in temperature such as heat or cold.
By working on the three higher chakras this can help to restore
harmony and energy, creating a feeling of peace and rejuvenation
at the end of the Indian head massage treatment, which is why
the chakras are important within Indian head massage
treatment.
