Ayurveda, a traditional healing system from India dating back at least 5,000 years, gave us the concept of chakra, a Sanskrit word often translated as "wheel." Chakras describe several energy centers within the body. By working with this energy flow through targeted massage techniques, therapists can help clients pursue chakra balancing for healing and greater well-being.
HICI Go is an online center hosting a wide catalog of health and beauty courses for people across the U.S. With a goal of expanding the skills of massage therapists and anyone drawn to the field, HICI Go offers a range of massage courses, chakra massage included.
Chakras are part of a broader Ayurvedic system describing the physical and energetic body. Correspondences have been mapped between chakras organs and nerves. When the system is balanced, life force energy, known by names like prana, chi and shakti, flows freely in ways that support health. This flow is described as running from the base of the spine through at least seven chakras, up past the crown of the head. Here’s a brief look at the most commonly recognized chakras:
Located at the base of the spine where it meets the pelvis, this chakra is foundational, tied to stability, mobility, courage and security.
Located at the base of the spine where it meets the pelvis, this chakra is foundational, tied to stability, mobility, courage and security.
Located in the stomach area below the ribs, this chakra governs digestion, both of food and information and represents personal power and transformation.
Centered in the chest near the heart, this chakra connects to compassion, forgiveness, love and relationships.
Located in the throat, this chakra relates to authenticity, communication and speaking one’s truth.
Positioned between the eyes, this chakra is tied to intuition, spiritual awareness and decision-making.
Located at the top of the head, this chakra connects to the broader source of life energy, representing higher awareness, collective consciousness and personal purpose.
Chakra massage works to encourage energy balance along this path of chakra centers. The therapist draws on chakra knowledge to identify blockages, imbalances or dysfunction, tuning into the client’s energetic state through both physical observation and intuition. Techniques used may include:
Chakra massage can ease physical discomfort while also supporting emotional health. Balanced energy gives clients more to draw from, while imbalances often reflect blockages that keep energy from flowing freely.
Some clients struggle to let go of certain experiences or the feelings tied to them. Chakra massage can support that process of release and integration. Alongside stress relief, it can also sharpen mental focus and build the ability to stay calm through difficult emotions.
