Chakra Healing

Chakras are believed to be the centers of energy that exist along the Sushumna Nadi, (which happens to be the central energy meridian that runs along the spine) that regulate and circulate the flow of prana or life force energy throughout the subtle energy system of an individual .The other two prime energy meridians are called the Ida and the Pingala. The Subtle energy system is comprised of 7 Major chakras (Energy centers), minor chakras and Nadis (Energy meridians through which the energy flows) .There are believed to be 72 thousand Nadis/ energy meridians in the subtle energy system. The word Chakra finds its roots in the Vedic literature and it means a “Wheel” or a “cycle”. The seven major chakras are Mooladhar chakra (Root ) , Swadishthan Chakra (Sacral chakra) , Manipura Chakra (Solar plexus chakra) , Anahata Chakra (Heart chakra ) ,Vishuddhi Chakra (throat chakra ) , Ajna Chakra ( Third eye Chakra ) and Sahasrar Chakra (Crown chakra). It’s believed that the healthy functioning of Chakras is vital for the individual’s overall well being and if any chakra is disturbed or blocked , it affects the flow of prana and hence manifests as some sort of disease in an individual’s life. It’s also believed that every chakra corresponds to a gland in our endocrine system, hence it is absolutely vital to keep the functioning of the chakras to its optimal function.
