Magic Forums
I have been searching the forums, and I cannot seem to find some info on Chakras. So I am adding this thread, if there is another one well then I am sorry. But if not then Yay! I hope this helps.
Chakras:
Well, the Chakras are the "energy pools" in our body. There are 114 chakras in total, but Here I will talk about the main 7 chakras.
The Root Chakra :
Also known as the Earth chakra, Muladhara , and the Root chakra. Located at the base of the spine, it deals with survival and is blocked by fear.
To cleanse this chakra, Meditate on your fears. Find what you are afraid of the most, then let it go. Learn to accept them, but do not let them control you.
I actually don't have much more on this, as I think we only need a basic understanding. However you are free to research it in depth more than I.
Next up is the Sacral Chakra:
Also called the Water Chakra and Svadhishthana. Located just above the root, and below the Solar Plexius, It deals with Pleasure ( pleasure does not always have to do with intimet acts ) and is blocked by guilt.
You'll need to meditate on all the things you feel guilty for, and let them go. You cannot change what has happened. Accept it and let go of your guilt, Move on. ( this may be hard for people to do )
Then we have the Navel:
Also known as the Fire Chakra, the Solar Plexius,and or the Manipura . It is located near your solar plexius ( aka the Navel, or around your belly button) This one relates to Willpower, and is blocked by shame.
To cleanse this chakra, you need to free your self from your shame, your letdowns and disappointments. Meditate on these, reliaze that you can get up, dust yourself off and move on. You are perfect as you are, do not let others make fun of you because of how you look or sound, Be true to yourself.
Next up on our list is the Heart:
Also known as the Air chakra, "Anahata. It is located at the heart, It deals with love and is blocked by grief.
This Chakra is a little harder to cleanse, as its hard to let go of those you love. You need to realize that it is okay to grevie over losses, and people, but you need to let them go. Ever hear of the saying " If you love them, let them go?" I am going to leave it at that for this chakra
Now we have the Throat Chakra:
Also known as the Sound Chakra, Vishuddha . It is located in the Throat, It deals with the Truth, and is blocked by lies.
To cleanse this Chakra, you need to stop telling lies, and let go of them. This is harder when these lies do things that are good and not bad, but you still need to let them go. Especially lies about yourself. Do not pretend to be who you are not, Be yourself.
Next up, we Have the Third Eye chakra:
Also known as the Light chakra, or "Ajna . Located just in the middle of your forehead, it deals with Insight and is blocked by Illisuion. ( also it has relations to day dreaming, but we'll get into that later )
To cleanse this Chakra and open it up, you need to let go of the illusion of control, the illusion of everything within your self. This Chakras cleansing, is hard for me to explain. Maybe you guys will understand, maybe not. Only time will tell
Last but not least, we have the Crown chakra:
Also known as the Thought chakra, or Sahasrara , it deals with Pure Cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachments.
To cleanse this chakra, you must let go of everything that ties you to this plane, or earth.
I do not know how to explain doing this, maybe someone more experienced with this could explain it better.

I hope this helps, and I hope this thread is in the right spot, My apologies for it being so basic.
