The chakra's are the storehouses and transmitters of the universal energy. They interact with the electromagnetic energy field and transform this energy by interacting with the universal life force. The freedom with which energy can flow back and forth between you and the universe is in direct correlation to the total health and well-being you experience. When you rise from one chakra or consciousness to the next, your perspective expands. Any restrictions to either reception or expression of this life energy will result in a malfunction of the being as a whole, and will be expressed as disease, discomfort, lack of energy, fear, or an emotional imbalance.
By definition the word chakra comes from an Indian Sanskrit word meaning, “wheel of light”. There are seven traditional chakra's which are located in front of the spine and positioned from the tailbone to the crown of the head. In addition, these spinning vortexes of energy align with the glandular system in the physical body, but make no mistake they are not physical, they are energy.
Each person is made up of energy. Understanding the concept that we can change our physical well being, by changing the energy we store in our chakra system, opens up a consciousness that we as beings of energy do have the power to control the way we feel and relate to our existence, here in this lifetime.
