The chakra system
A chakra is like a whirling, vortex-like, powerhouse of energy. Within our bodies, we have seven major energy centres and many more minor ones. Which energy flows through.
You can think of chakras as invisible, rechargeable batteries. They are charged and recharged through contact with the stream of cosmic energy in the atmosphere in much the same way that your home is connected to a central power source within a city, the only difference is that cosmic energy source is free.
EImagine this, a vertical power current rather like a fluorescent tube that runs up and down the spine, from the top of the head to the base of the spine. Think of this as your main source of energy.
The seven major chakras are in the centre of the body and are aligned with this vertical “power line”. Chakras connect your spiritual bodies to your physical one. They regulate the flow of energy throughout the electrical network (meridians) than runs through the physical body. The body’s electrical system resembles the wiring in a house. It allows electrical current to be sent to every part, and it is ready for use when needed.
Sometimes chakras become blocked because of stress, emotional or physical problems. If the body’s “energy system” can not flow freely it is likely that problems will arise. The consequence of irregular energy flow may result in physical illness and discomfort or a sense of being mentally and emotionally out of balance.
