Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 What are Chakras? The word 'chakra' is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'. A Chakra is a spinning vortex of energy created within ourselves by the interpenetration of consciousness and the physical body. There are seven primary centers or vortexes which correlates to major nerve ganglia. Energy moves down the front of the central channel to the base of the spine, where it is collected, blended, amplified, and propelled up the back, through the spinal column, directly through the seven energy centers, and out the top of the head. It is this simultaneous movement of energy up and down the central channel and in and out of the seven centers that creates the electromagnetic field surrounding the physical body. The primary Chakras influence your health greatly, the health concerns related to them are caused by an unbalance in the chakra itself, from an emotional or spiritual cause, which then manifests into a physical ailment. Each chakra relates strongly to a specific part of the body, specific emotions, mental, and spiritual concerns. The physical, astral/emotional, mental and soul connect by way of the Chakras as their paths form the invisible scaffolding inside of which the physical body is formed. Relating to this, when we look at charts of the human physical nervous system, or at diagrams showing the energy meridians and acupuncture points recognized and used in traditional eastern medicine, we're seeing maps that chart the "effects" of these channels of energy and their hubs— namely the Chakras. Each of the chakra centers in fact consists of rapidly rotating spiral-shaped openings in the front and back of the body, that act as points of transformation by regulating and distributing energy as it flows in and out of these centers. This energy then serves to stimulate the endocrine glands that control the body's chemical balance, as well as powering the nervous system and organs.
