What are the Seven Major Chakras?
There are seven major energy centres, also known as chakras, within the body. If a chakra becomes imbalanced (spinning too fast or too slow) or blocked, this can affect the flow of energy around the body.
A healthy body has free flowing positive energy and chakra balancing is one way to help achieve this.
The word chakra is Sanskrit, meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘disc’. Most of the western world’s knowledge of chakras comes from the ancient Hindu traditions. However, many civilisations around the world also have traditions of various energy centres within the body.
It is interesting that although these different cultures have different names for these energy centres, many appear to correlate.
