Each chakra chart below gives the basic information you need to know to start working with and healing each of the 7 chakras.

Chakras are energy centers, or portals in the human energy field. Located along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head, they are conceived of as whirling, wheel-like vortices through which universal/cosmic energy flows into and out of a person.

There are seven major chakras, plus many minor ones. Each chakra corresponds to specific glands, organs, and facets of your being.

The first chakras chart gives you an overview. The second provides more details.
