Chakras
These important energy centres of the body are closely associated with our Glandular/Endocrine Systems that specifically govern our hormones and their role in releasing chemical messages to the major organs throughout the body.
It is important to note that:
- Our Pineal gland located at the Crown Chakra is responsible for producing Melatonin which modulates our sleep cycles that are so vital for our physical, emotional and mental repair.
- Our Pituitary gland is located at the Third Eye Chakra and is responsible for regulating growth, blood pressure and sex hormones.
- Our Thyroid gland is located at the Throat Chakra and is responsible for influencing metabolic rate and protein synthesis throughout the body.
- Our Thymus gland is located at the Heart Chakra and is important in creating the T-Cells that support the Immune System.
- Our Pancreas gland is located in the Solar Plexus Chakra and produces several very important hormones such as Insulin and Glucagon which regulate carbohydrates, fats and sugars into the bloodstream.
- Our Gonad gland is located in the Sacral Chakra area and produces the sex cells responsible for reproduction.
- Our Adrenal glands are closely associated with the Root Chakra as these are largely affected when stresses arise in within the body.
