Chakras

Chakras are the 7 nerve centers along the spine, which balances our endocrine and central nervous system. These are the energy nodes all through the body liable for the state of our mind, body and soul. In Sanskrit, chakra means “wheel” that controls the flow of energy throughout the body. Chakras radiate energy of vibrations, because the former can be affected by the other individual’s mood. The vibrations of these energy levels are immense, so it’s required to control and balance all the chakras. It’s very much important that all Chakras are active in a balanced manner (the ideal state). Chakras can be under-active or over active. Balancing of all the chakras is essential for well being of an individual.

Along our spine are seven energy points known as chakras. The word chakra in Sanskrit can be translated into the word wheel or vortex. The word chakra should actually be spelt chakra and derives from the ancient chariot wheels; but due to philosophy disputes, this was changed. Each of the chakras oscillates at a different speed, direction, movement. Chakras each react to different sounds, lights, colors, feelings and parts of the body.

All of your senses and perceptions can be split into seven categories; each category relating to a different chakra. Yet, each part of our body can be split into seven different main endocrine gland systems and nerve sections.

Knowing the state of your Chakras helps you get your self closer to your spiritual soul. Each chakra has its own importance in our lives, and must be well balanced to have a good impact on your well being. The energy and vibrations of all chakras is essential for a happy life.

The energy centers function as containers and pumps, putting a regular flow of energy around our system. Yet, even these need maintenance. People often find that their chakras are too open, or too closed, therefore make bad moves and decisions in their life and this also causes bad physical health.
