All about Chakra

Most people are not away that they have a life force energy that is actually run by something that is called a chakra. The chakra is believed to be an axis point on a persons being that interacts with their chakra. The term chakra comes is a Sanskrit term and it means a constantly spinning wheel or a mans aural energy. Each person has what is called, life force energy, and this is run by their chakra. The Hindu writings show that there are more than 88,000 different chakra points in a persons body but they are all focused into 7 main areas or energy axis?. All of the 7 areas go from the base of a persons spine all the way to their head.

The seven main chakra?s are as follows; solar plexus/stomach chakra, heart chakra, third eye/brow chakra, crown chakra, naval/sex chakra, base or root chakra and the throat chakra. What these major chakra?s do, is they take energy from a persons surroundings and help to transmit these energies to a person?s body. It is said that they can directly impact the activities of a person in such areas as: psychological, emotional, spiritual or mystical, and even corporeal.

There is one common characteristic that all of the descriptions of Chakras share. This common characteristic is that it is the mystical and spiritual understanding of a person's experiences or the modern understanding of the human thought process. This is what the Hindus think Chakras truly are.

This happens specifically because each one of the major chakra glands works with a specific endocrine gland within our bodies. If there is an imbalance in the function of a chakra this will effect our physical and emotional state of well being. It will also create a disturbance in the endocrine gland that is associated with that specific chakra.

This is due to the seven major chakra?s being connected to the in endocrine gland that is found in our bodies. Even the smallest imbalance of can take it?s toll on our emotional state as well as our physical state. When an imbalance occurs it can create a disturbance in the way a person behaves and that is directly linked up to the endocrine gland.
