Our beautiful planet Earth is a conscious and vibrant living entity. There were many ancient civilisations that knew that the Earth is sacred. They believed her to be the Great Mother (in Greek mythology Gaia is a goddess of the Earth, the personification of the planet itself and mother of all life). There are many sacred monuments, in areas that were considered Earth’s Highest Energy Vortexes, or Earth Chakras. Structures like Stonehenge, the Pyramids, Mayan, Aztec and Inca monuments, and many pilgrimage sites are now considered powerful energetic spots.
Does the Earth have chakras?
Many spiritual traditions believe that the Earth has its own chakra system. Seven major energy points across the planet that mirror the human chakra system. These locations are thought to influence global energetic patterns and human consciousness. Energy flows through each of the main Earth Chakras and makes up the spiritual body that is our world. These Chakras are connected by energy circuits which are known as Ley lines. This grid system of the planet has been known for Millennium. By visiting these places, you could experience synergy and contact with Mother Earth. By opening your Chakras to it and becoming a powerful universal energy channel.
The locations of the Earth Chakras are sometimes up for debate about the exact location. There are those locations on which everybody agrees. So, in this post, I will share with you the places commonly connected to the Earth Chakra System and what they represent spiritually.
Where are the Earth Chakras located?
The Root Chakra – Mount Shasta, California, USA
The root chakra is located at the base of our spine and is the one that grounds us. It is symbolized by a lotus with four petals and has a red color. When this chakra is in balance, we feel safe, strong, and committed. When it is out of balance, we feel very unsafe and avoid conflicts. So, the root chakra of the Earth is believed to be located at Mount Shasta in California.
Mount Shasta is known for its natural beauty, and powerful spiritual presence. It has an active volcano which is one of the highest peaks in the Cascade Range. This chakra is regarded as the base or the root of the Earth’s energy, regulating universal life. It acts as a geyser of upward energy. It makes sense for the root chakra to lie at Mount Shasta. Native Americans believed that the volcano could be the center of the Universe or even the birthplace of the Creator.
The sacral chakra – Lake Titicaca, Peru & Bolivia
The sacral chakra is located in the public area. It is orange in color, and governs our emotions, creativity, and ability to enjoy life. When it is balanced, we feel joy and we are able to produce our grates gifts. We feel connected to life, with a sense of being like on an adventure. When it is out of balance, we can feel closed out and disconnected. The Earth’s sacral chakra lies at lake Titicaca.
This lake is home to Isla del Sol ( Island of the sun), a Bolivian island that was home to the Incas, who considered the lake sacred. An archaeological team found an ancient temple that is completely submerged in the lake. For the lake it is said that it embodies the masculine and feminine energies, making itself representative of actuality, as the sacral chakra. This chakra is believed to regulate all species on Earth and their evolutionary processes.
The solar plexus Chakra – Uluru & Kata Tjuta Rock, Australia
The solar plexus is another name for the hoise of the soul. It is located in our stomach area and has a yellow colour. It is all about integrity, having a higher purpose, and is the seed of confidence in one’s life path. There is where we manifest from. Earth’s solar plexus chakra is a dual chakra. It is believed to lie at two massive rock formations, Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
They are 28 km apart. Rising high in the Australian desert, the rocks play an important role in the local Aboriginal ancient wisdom and creation stories. The solar plexus chakra connects wisdom with practical emotions, weaving a planetary umbilical cord that sustains life across the Earth.
Heart chakra – Glastonbury & Shaftesbury, England
The heart Earth chakra is green in colour and is located at the heart centre, where the healing takes place. That is our centre of love, connectedness, and forgiveness. When it is out of balance, we feel closed to love, and we hold anger. When in balance, we see the good in everything around us. The Earth’s heart chakra is also a dual chakra, located at Shaftesbury and Glastonbury.Two towns in England, 48 km apart. According to some people, the heart chakra may expand, including even Stonehenge.
Many stories in history speak about this location. One lis King Arthur and Avalon, Joseph of Arimathea after the resurrection of Jesus. The heart chakra deals with love and healing. It is interesting that the combination of the two cities has long been believed to represent the joining together of the ideas of love and will. However, some also believe that Hawaii’s Haleakalā volcano is the heart chakra, and it has a good reason for that. The energy at the top of the volcano has the same frequency as the beating of the human heart.
The throat chakra – Egypt and Israel
The light blue throat chakra projects the truth. This is where we find the confidence to speak our truth and to express our creativity without fear of judgment or needing approval. When the chakra is in balance, we value truth for truth’s sake alone. The throat chakra of the Earth is a combination of three important sites. The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, Mount Sinai, also in Egypt, and the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
Two of these locations, Mount Sinai and Mount of Olives, are important places in the Bible. Connecting the three locations on a map forms almost a perfect right triangle. The throat chakra symbolizes voice and communication.
Third eye chakra – Western Europe
The third eye chakra is dark blue in color and is located on the forehead, above the eyes. There is where we create our own reality through beliefs, and whatever we choose to see in the world. When it is out of balance, we feel overstimulated and clouded with thoughts that don’t feel like our own. In today’s world which is full of information, the third eye can come out of balance easily. Meditation and practicing stillness are the most helpful for bringing it into balance. The third eye chakra is the only one that can shift locations on the Earth, most probably due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. It is also known as the Aeon Activation Center and is believed to move every eon or new age. This chakra is also said to coordinate with constellations.
According to Astrology, we are currently in the Age of Aquarius, which determined that the third eye Earth chakra lies in line with the heart Earth chakra in England. When we move in the age of Capricorn, this chakra is believed to shift to Brazil. Astronomers have estimated that every astrological age lasts approximately 2100 to 2500 years. The third eye chakra provides strong recognition and awareness, together with clear thinking and vision, by bringing together rational knowledge and intuition.

The Crown chakra – Mount Kailash, Tibet
The seventh of the Earth chakras, which is purple in color sits above the head like a crown. It is our connection to higher guidance. It is where we feel connected to the cosmos, we are open to seeing signs, and finding meaning in the things around us. Most people are not connected to this chakra, but this is where we feel connected to the Universe. It really makes sense that the crown chakra of the Earth is located in the Himalayas. Mount Kailash is often called the roof of the world and is considered to be the most sacred mountain in the Himalayas.
The power of the crown chakra lies in spirituality, and Mount Kailash serves as a powerful connector to something greater than oneself, both physically, because of its grandeur, and non-physically, because of its sacredness. The mountains are so holy, that the Tibetians the attempt to climb them consider it as an offense to the realm of spirituality. The highly developed consciousness of the Tibetians is a strong indication of the energy that resides in the crown chakra of the planet.
What is Earth Chakra day?
International Earth Chakra Day, observed annually on December 1st, is a recent initiative aimed at promoting global awareness of cosmic consciousness. The event focuses on the concept of the Earth as a living entity with a Chakra system, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of nurturing this awareness worldwide.
The Earth chakras are like organs that are vital to the health of the world and to all living beings. They maintain the overall global health and transmit and receive energy encoded with information. I am curious if any of you have visited these places, and if so, it would be great to share your experience with us. Share your comments below and discover more on SziaSoul.
