Chakras
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that translates as wheel or disc or turning.
We can collect energy from several different levels.Our body have main energy centers, each of these energy centers are referred to as chakra.
A chakra is a wheel spinning vortex that whirls in a circular motion forming a vacuum in the center.
Our body contains hundred of chakras that are the key to the operation of our being. These “spinning wheels” draw in coded information from our surroundings.
Chakras receive the health of our environment, including the people we are in contact with (that’s why other people’s moods have an affect on us!). As well our chakras also radiate an energy of vibration.
We have seven main chakra centers and that each main center is connected to our being on several different levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. On the physical level each chakra governs a main organ or gland, which is then connected to other body parts that resonate the same frequency, than each chakra is connected to a color vibrational frequency.
The seven main chakra centers are aligned along the spinal column. If there are any disturbances on any level, this shows in the chakra’s vitality level. The seven main chakras has their own intelligence center. This means that each chakra is not only associated with our physical health but also controls aspects connected to our emotional, mental and belief system.
To help balance a chakra on an emotional, intellectual, physical or spiritual level we need to bring in the chakra (color) vibration, which resonates at the same frequency.
If there is a disturbance on any level, this shows in a chakra’s vitality level. And each of the seven main chakras has its own innate intelligence and function. Similar to how your body functions automatically, your chakra centers also operate automatically. If you are to understand your chakra system then you must learn what each chakra’s function is and how it represents a part of your system.
