The chakra system has always been with us, it is part of how the human body is constructed, much the same as having a nose or kidneys.
The first written account of it was found in the Vedas, a large body of religious texts originating in ancient India.
Chakra is a term from the Sanskrit classical language of India meaning ‘disk’ ‘wheel’ or ‘vortex’
Chakras are the circular vortexes of energy that are placed in seven positions along the spinal column.
These are the seven major energy centres of the body and each of the seven chakras is governed by spiritual laws and principles of consciousness that we can use to grow greater harmony, happiness, and wellbeing in our lives and in the world.
In a healthy, balanced human being or animal, the seven chakras provide the correct balance of energy to all parts of your body, mind, and spirit.
But, if one of these chakras spins too quickly, becomes blocked, or moves slowly, your health will suffer.
