Chakras are the focal points of the body where life force energy is generated. Chakra means wheel; and it refers to the spinning sphere of life energy that term represents.
There are six Chakras which are located along the spine and a seventh one above these, removed from the physical element of your body.
While we understand these Chakras as energy, you need to understand that these seven Chakras influence your body.
A healthy alignment of all of the seven Chakras will allow you to maintain your own health and happiness during your life. It is important to understand what each of the chakras is, and what it does for you.
