There are seven major charkas. The term chakra originates from sages and seers of ancient India (thousands of years BC). They perceived life forces flowing through the body in pathways of energy that interacted with every element of the body. Chakras are positioned where these pathways of energy intersect. Chakras are said to govern the balance and health of the body. Generally where the energy forces in the chakras are balanced, the body will be in a good state of health. If the chakras become unbalanced (ie one or more chakras produce more or less energy than the others) there will be a corresponding physical effect on the organs and physical well-being and the person's mental state. When this occurs chakra balancing is required. Sign up for our newsletter!
