The chakra system is an ancient concept integral to various spiritual and healing traditions, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism.
While the traditional chakra system consists of seven chakras, the 12-chakra system expands this understanding to include additional energy centers that correspond to higher spiritual and cosmic consciousness.
In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the 12 Chakras, their locations, associated elements and colors (where applicable), their effects/purpose, what an imbalance means and finally how to balance them for Ascension
12 Chakras
Indeed. For Reality on Earth has changed greatly in these past 24 years alone due to Ascension.
The days when the 7 Chakra system was invented dates back to the Vedic Days (before the Vatican), about 5.500 Years ago.
During those days, which coincide with the latter days of Ancient Egypt being in 4D Consciousness, there was no 5D or let alone 6D Consciousness.
On top of that, the system itself has been watered down and misunderstood by and through the interpretations of Yoga, some 2000 years ago.
Truthfully, there are infinite aspects of existence that can be described as Chakras (Containers for Energy).
In my most advanced teachings, I talk about 33 Chakras or even more.
I do that because it is a well-established and well-known system that many can use to have a functional starting point for my extensive teachings.
Yet the Truth is that the Chakra model, even in its expanded version as I present it here, quickly stops serving any purpose when we go from 5D to 6D .
Keeping it aligned with the number 12 representing Ascension & Spirituality itself, this is to expand your Mind, your Heart and make my point: You need to go much further than some outdated Yoga teachings of a 3-4D Consciousness to successfully ascend.
1st Chakra = Life
Location: ~6 feet / 2m below your physical body
Element: Ether
Color: Black
Effects: Life, Support, Cellular Nourishment
Info
The Life Chakra is not located within the physical body but resides beneath the feet.
It contains the Energy of Pure Life Essence in its simplest form.
Based on the principle “as within, so without”, humans need to dig (deep) into the Earth to extract minerals.
Using this as a reference point, the same applies to how the human energy system works.
All that you need to sustain your life in a meaningful and sustainable way already resides within you.
Due to the Human Condition of Unconsciousness, you have to dig deep into yourself to find it.
Imbalance
Your life lacks meaning or purpose
You have a constant/lingering Fear of Death (because a part of you needs to die)
You do not feel nourished or supported
Balancing
Give your Life Meaning by doing deeds that feel good
Learn to nourish and sustain other life forms (through organic gardening, baby-sitting, entrepreneurship, …)
Let Go of the Old
2nd Chakra = Earth
Location: Where your feet touch the Earth
Element: Earth
Color: Brown
Effects: Connection, Reality, Sustenance/Nourishment
Info
The Earth Chakra is what Physics have described as “Gravitation”.
Just like every plant needs to have healthy roots, you need to stand on sound and balanced footing.
With your feet planted firmly and decisively on “Earth”, you can walk your path as a Spiritual Human Being without fear of falling or faltering at any point.
It is absolutely crucial for your Ascension that you have an extremely solid foundation, footing and grounding.
There is no tree that can hope to grow tall without being firmly rooted and intricately connected to Earth.
The very same applies to you.
Imbalance
Your life lacks meaning or purpose
You have a constant/lingering Fear of Death (because a part of you needs to die)

Learn to nourish and sustain other life forms (through organic gardening, baby-sitting, entrepreneurship, …)

Many have wondered where the true Seat of the Soul is located.
While your Heart (not only as a Chakra but as a safe unification container for your entire existence) is the ultimate Gateway to your Soul, you can only truly reach the level of your Soul in full embodiment when you have mastered 6-dimensional Consciousness and thus have successfully brought your Soul into your Human Body.
Your Soul is all that you are. The Divine Aspect in you. The God in you. Your perfect Self.
It is only when you know your Soul that you truly know who you are.
To have this Chakra fully aligned, all other 10 Chakras need to be perfectly balanced and integrated in your existence.
12th Chakra = Source-Spirit-ZeroPoint
The 12th Chakra is your Ultimate Unification, Nexus, Gateway and Access Point.
Once you have reached Enlightenment by knowing your True Self (Your SOUL), you can now integrate into the Galactic-Universal All by becoming ONE with Source.
This is the Ultimate Spiritual Experience – for everything has become Spiritual.
Nothing exists outside of Love, Light & Consciousness.
This Chakra is as vast as Source/Spirit/The Infinite Universe itself.
In the Spirit of this article and the concept of 12 Chakras, you now hold the entire Universe within you.
