Chakra System

Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body.

The human body contains hundreds of locations where there is focused and concentrated energy.  There are, however, seven major energy centers, commonly referred to as “chakras”.  Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”.  The chakras are similar to wheels, in that they are spinning vortexes of energy.  They are centers of force, located within our etheric body, through which we receive, transmit and process life energies.

Each Chakra in the body is recognized as a focal point of life force relating to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies.  The chakras are the network through which body, mind and spirit interact as one holistic system.

The seven major chakras correspond to specific aspects of our consciousness and have their own individual characteristics and functions.  Each has a corresponding relationship to one of the various glands of the body’s endocrine system, as well as to one of the seven colors of the rainbow spectrum.

The main purpose in working with and understanding the chakras is to create integration and wholeness within us.  In this way we bring the various aspects of our consciousness, from the physical to the spiritual, into a harmonious relationship.  Ultimately, we begin to recognize that the different aspects of ourselves (physical, material, sexual, spiritual, etc.) all work together, and that each aspect is as much a part of the whole as the others.  We must be able to acknowledge, accept and integrate all levels of our being.
