How does music help align all the chakras of a person? 

We have seven major chakras that are aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. These chakras are influenced by everything we do, and go in and out of alignment due to stress, minor illnesses and even our fast-paced lifestyles. Music can help realigned these chakras in the body.

Why is it important for these chakras to be aligned? What could happen if they are not? 

Chakras are, in very simple terms, seven energetic centres through which our body’s energies flow. Often when our emotions are out of balance, these centres become blocked, which can manifest as an illness and aches or pains in the body. In order for our bodies to function in an optimal way, all of our 7 chakras need to be balanced. If one of the energy centres is not functioning well, then the others won’t function optimally either.
