What are Chakras?
The word Chakra comes from Sanskrit and means “wheel”. These are energy centres in the body that work a bit like spinning wheels or vortices. They take in subtle energy from around us and help transform it into something that supports our physical and emotional wellbeing.
There are seven main Chakras connected to the physical body. Each one is linked to a different area of the spine, as well as to nerve centres and hormone glands. They run in a straight line from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
You might be surprised to know that some scientists are now recognising the presence of these energy systems in the body, including the Chakras and energy lines known as Meridians.
From a body perspective, the Chakras help move energy through the body and seem to have an effect on how we feel physically, emotionally, and energetically.
