Seven Major Chakras , Kundalini Yoga
The seven Major charkas in our body are the centers of energy, each having own vibrational frequency and controls.

The Chakras are energy centers of body that are considered flowerlike, which open and close as well as spin like wheels. The Chakras are the receiver of the spiritual universal energy as well as the centers through which the body deciphers energy. The most popular model of the Chakra system describes seven major charkas as well as many minor charkas. The seven major charkas are located along the central line of the body or the spinal cord, the lowest situated at the root of tailbone and the highest situated at the top of head. The Chakras are named as Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra, Brow Chakra and Crown chakra.

Seven Major ChakrasOther Chakra models include several other Chakras with the aura at a foot or two below the feet and several feet high above the head. The Chakras are composed of high frequency energy strands, which are perceived as light to the spiritual eyes. The universal energy enters the body through the Chakras and flow upward from the lower to higher energy centers. The lower Chakras are simple functioning but the degree of sophistication increases in the ascending order. The higher charkas are more spiritual functioning, that is intimately related to the life experience and the unison of an individual with the whole creation. The seven charkas have intrinsic interrelationships between them, which are connected through an energy channel and are of great importance as the energy healer.
