About Chakras
What Are the Chakras?Chakras are energy centers, or portals in the field. Located along the central channel of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head, they are conceived of as whirling, wheel-like vortexes through which universal/cosmic energy flows into and out of a person.The word in Sanskrit means “wheel” or “disk.” The concept comes to us from Hindu and Buddhist traditions. There are seven major energy centers, plus many minor ones. (My own form of energy work, Restorative Touch, posits an eighth.) Each corresponds to specific glands, organs, and facets of your being. Energy flows through the system in two ways. First, it flows up and down along the central channel, connecting each chakra. Second, it flows horizontally, in an exchange of energy with the cosmos. Disturbances in a chakra's flow of the energy can result in disturbances in a person’s health, emotions, mind, spirit, or life. Many forms of energy healing work with these energy centers. An energy healer can usually feel each of the vortexes and its relative strength. An Overview of the Seven Chakras
