What are Chakras?
We all have an unseen “life force energy” that flows through our bodies, which we call “Prana” in Sanskrit, “KI” energy in Japanese & “Chi” energy in Chinese. This energy flows in our bodies through
thousands of energy network of 72,000 channels known as Nadis and the main junction that these channels meet in the body are known as our chakras, aka an energy vortex (Energy Centers).
Chakra translates to “wheel” in Sanskrit, and you can imagine them like wheels of free-flowing positive energy
There are 114 chakras in our body. But there are 7 major Chakras that we all must know about.
These 7 chakras are aligned up the spine, from the end of our tailbone up to the crown of the head.
There are seven chakras, each with a unique meaning about our body, life, breath, mind, intellect, emotional, psychological & spiritual and overall sense of well-being.
The seven chakras are:
- Root – Basic Trust
- Sacral – Sexuality, Creativity
- Solar Plexus – Wisdom, Power
- Heart – Love, Healing
- Throat – Communication
- Third-Eye – Awareness
- Crown – Spirituality
Chakras are thought to provide subtle energy that helps our organs, mind, and intellectual work at their best level.
Also, the chakra system has been linked to the endocrine system, with certain glands correlated to certain chakras.
When our chakras are in balance, life force energy is able to move through them and connect us to the world around us harmoniously.
