Modern science has inadvertently led people to believe that spirituality should have less significance than in days gone by, and that healing the body is the only thing that is important in the overall well-being of a person.

Hindu philosophy has not neglected the inner life however and keeps spiritual awareness live even in a rapidly more technologically advanced world.

Our bodies consist of seven primary and literally thousands of secondary chakras. In Sanskrit, "chakra" means "wheel of light." According to this theory, chakras rotate and vibrate continually in a body that's healthy.

However, if the chakras become unbalanced, this means that there will also be an imbalance in the overall health and performance of the body. This means that chakra balancing is necessary to be healthy in mind, soul and body.

Chakras are considered Entrance Gates of the Aura, the life-force which surrounds and embodies us all. Through central points located on the central line of the body, these seven Chakras transmit energy in and out of the body to the universe above, the people around us and to celestial bodies as well. Chakras also transmit this energy from the universal sphere back into us as a form of communication.

Why do the chakras become distorted?

If one or more of your Chakras are blocked, they cannot perform this vital function of ensuring proper energy flow throughout the body ? this will result in an imbalance of your Chakras, in turn causing all manner of problems for you.

Chakra distortion can be due to a variety of factors, including physical illness, a bad diet, stress and environmental toxins. A lack of physical activity can also cause this distortion, leading to blockage.

While the idea of Chakra balance may be considered utopian, it is something to strive for and most knowledgeable people will tend to attempt to strike a fine balance between the Chakras.

The human body is a natural reservoir of energy. Energy is expelled from the body via the internal organs once it has been spent; new energy is taken in through the Chakras to replenish this energy.

When you balance your chakras, you make sure that this energy is used by the body optimally as well as stored efficiently. You also make sure that all of your body cells and essential organs get their fair share of this energy.

With this optimized state, health, happiness and inner peace flow easily and naturally. Balancing the chakras simply is a matter of bringing the chakras back to their natural state of frequency and vibration.
