Chakras are something that not everyone is familiar with, but the idea of them spans back centuries, much further than modern medicine does. In short, chakras relate to the seven places on the body of alignment, from which energy is said to come: Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown chakras. They're known first and foremost by their Sanskrit names, and it's said that these chakras also relate to different places around the globe that correspond to their unique energies.

Anyone who's familiar with holistic or ayurvedic health can easily describe the purpose of each chakra as it relates to the human body, but what about when it comes to energy reservoirs in the world? These places are said to have a unique pull that draws people to them for a reason they simply can't explain, almost as if they have been homesick for a destination they've never visited before. Tourists who feel drawn to a place on a level such as this must be interested in these destinations - or, at least, their chakras will be interested.

The destinations cited below are UNESCO World Heritage sites and hold significance not only for the wellness community but also for spiritualists and tourists alike. The accommodations recommended in this list are based on thorough research and their proximity to these sites. Each has a rating of above 8.0, thanks to the incredible reviews from previous vacationers. Each hotel comes with unique, outstanding services and amenities designed to meet the needs of various tourists. However, before booking a hotel room, it is wise to call the hotel management to verify the details.

Muladhara, the Root chakra, is precisely how it sounds - located in the lower base of the spine. Muladhara means "base support" in Sanskrit. It roots a person to the earth and themselves, and it is responsible for physical stability, survival, and keeping a person grounded. In a physical form, Mount Shasta has been said to embody everything about this process of grounding. It was long believed by Native American tribes that this dormant volcano had healing powers and a spiritual nature about it. Its spirit nature and healing power are felt when close to it. To make it more serious, many have heeded the call of this mysterious mountain.

Lake Titicaca, Bolivia is one of the chakra points of the world

This lake borders both Peru and Bolivia, and it is said to be the earth chakra Svadhishthana. Although this chakra is said to be blocked by fear, opening this chakra can boost creativity, manifested desire, and confidence.

Lake Titicaca is the biggest lake in South America. It is highly navigable, allowing many to boat through its waters with minimal resistance. Many also believe that this lake has a place in mythology and may have even been the birthplace of mythological royalty, according to Artisan Farmacy. Lake Titicaca's mythology includes the belief that the god Viracocha rose from the lake to create the sun, stars, and earliest creatures.

These are some of the most common spiritual and mysterious destinations in the world because of the high vibrations within them that awaken and revitalize those who visit.

Anahata is the Heart chakra, and Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Shaftesbury are believed to be its corresponding locations on earth. Stonehenge has had a history of being almost mythical in its mysterious history, so it's not all that surprising that it's associated with a place of compassion and healing. It's here that's said to correspond with forgiveness and giving, two traits that Anahata is responsible for. This spiritual hotspot offers a greater connection with the supernatural. Hence, it is a necessary destination for spiritual enthusiasts, shamans, artists, yogis, and tourists.

Throat: Mount of Olives, Mount Sinai, And The Great Pyramid of Giza

These are some of the most spiritual hotspots in the world for greater connection with the supernatural. They are must-visit for various groups, including shamans, yogis, writers, and tourists.

The Throat Chakra represents voice and communication and is located in three different sites on earth - the Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), The Mount of Olives (Jerusalem), and Mount Sinai (Egypt).

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built with the lunar and solar alignments in mind, and the celestial alignment of each design in Ancient Egypt corresponds to the harmony that exists in one's thoughts, mind, and speech. It is worth noting that the Throat Chakra is the only chakra located on a man-made site that still remains a mystery to date. In addition, two of the throat chakra’s earth locations - Mount of Olives and Mount Sinai, are important sites mentioned in the Bible which just makes it more appealing. While the throat chakra is responsible for the gift of speaking one's truth, these regions are believed to enhance and embody that, as well.

The Third Eye, known as Ajna, is interesting because there is no fixed location for it. During this Aeon - which happens every 2,160 years - it's said to also be in Stonehenge, where Anahata is permanently located. While this will change in centuries, the alignment is according to the new age, usually corresponding to another chakra's location. The third eye chakra is most known to be associated with awareness, intuition, and clarity. On the human body, this chakra is located between the eyebrows, and many believe that if found, the chakra helps them connect with a divine power.

Mount Kailash In Tibet Is One Of The Chakras Of The Planet

Also known as the 'stairway to heaven,' the Crown chakra, Sahasrara, can be found on Mount Kailash. The Himalayas have long been believed to hold their own powers, and, for some, it's not just due to their humbling nature as they tower over the rest of the earth. This chakra is associated with knowledge and wisdom, as well as universal consciousness, so it's perfectly fitting that it would be located in this area. Explorers visiting this chakra point can experience one-of-a-kind meditation and a spiritual awakening. Additionally, explorers can take time out for other things they experience around Mount Kailash, from food to adventure and people.
