Chakra is a
Sanskrit word meaning “spinning wheel”. There are several chakras and the
numbers vary per various philosophies. However their function is to absorb,
assimilate and transmit energy-vital energy and connect us directly to the
universal energy.
The benefit
of learning about your own chakra system is for you to understand on a whole
(whole = body, mind and spirit in harmony) that when all parts of you (all of
your seven chakra centers) are communicating equally and working in alliance
with each other-if they are not blocked you will feel vitalized. Nowadays, we
live in a fast world and often forget about our “whole.” We put too much
emphasis on independence and very little on interdependence. Our chakras are
interdependent on each other for harmony and balance.
The 7 main
chakras are located in the central line of the body:
1st chakra/Root/Muldhara:
Located near the base of the spine. Survival, fear & security issues. Issues relating to work, livelihood & money.
