The concept of chakras is rooted to ancient spiritual and philosophical traditions and is not directly supported by modern scientific neuroscience in terms of anatomical connections to specific brain regions. Each chakra's as described functions to general brain activities, acknowledging these are conceptual links and not direct scientific correlations, along with their associated colors:
* Muladhara (Root Chakra) - Red:
* Focus: Survival, grounding, safety.
* Connection to brain function: Brainstem and limbic system for primal instincts and security.
* Svadhisthana (Sacral Chakra) - Orange:
* Focus: Sexuality, creativity, emotions, pleasure.
* Connection to brain function: Limbic system (pleasure, reward) and prefrontal cortex (creativity, emotion processing).
* Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra) - Yellow:
* Focus: Personal power, self-esteem, ego, digestion.
* Connection to brain functions: Prefrontal cortex (executive functions, self-awareness) and enteric nervous system (digestion).
* Anahata (Heart Chakra) - Green:
* Focus: Love, acceptance, compassion, kindness.
* Connection to brain: Insula (empathy), ventromedial prefrontal cortex (social cognition), oxytocin system (bonding).
* Vishuddha (Throat Chakra) - Light Blue/Turquoise:
* Focus: Communication, expression, honesty.
* Connection to brain: Broca's and Wernicke's areas (language), frontal lobe (verbal fluency).
* Ajna (Third Eye Chakra) - Indigo:
