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.

While this is primarily limited to Western medicine, Hindu thought has deviated little from the spiritual believe that healing is both related to mind and spirit and that there is a healing flame burning brightly in all of us.

Our bodies are made up of seven primary Chakras and literally thousands of secondary ones. Chakra is a word which comes to us from the Sanskrit language and roughly translates to "wheel of light". Chakra is used to describe those energy centers in the human body which are, at least in a healthy person in a constant state of rotation.

Chakras that become unbalanced result in an imbalance in the body, and health suffers as a result. When Chakras are balanced, the body attains a state of health, spiritual enlightenment and inner peace.

Chakras are called Entrance Gates of the Aura which includes and presents life-force energy through central points. Located along the central line of the body the seven primary Chakras go from the bases of the spine to the top of the head. They transmit energy to the universe, nature and other people as well as communicate energy from those same bodies.

Distortion in Chakras

If there is a blockage of one or more of the Chakras, energy will decrease and not flow properly as a result. This will cause health and spiritual problems to manifest in the body.

When the Chakras are functioning harmoniously, there can be a number of reasons why they distort: ill health, unhealthy eating patterns, stress, toxicity exposure, lack of exercise, shutdown of emotion and expression, a breakdown between perceived truths and what is taking place, traumas from childhood, emotional injuries, and cultural conditions.
