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.
Other 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.
The energy that is brought and assimilated by the Chakras is the major source of our physical, emotional, mental, intuitive and spiritual existence. The Chakras act as the pathway for the energy to be taken in, metabolized and sent to major nerve center and endocrine gland system, which helps in mental and physical well-being. Each chakra vibrates with different frequencies and each has their specific quality and characteristics.
