All about Chakra

Many people are unsure of what a Chakra is. A chakrah is a point on the human body that connects to the energy of life. The word itself is derived from a Sanskrit word that means a constantly spinning wheel or sphere of aural energy that a man has. Many traditional Hindu writings suggest that there are over 85,000 points of Chakra throughout a person's body. Although, there are seven Chakras that are more important than all of the rest. These Chakras exist from the bottom of the spine all the way up to the top of the 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.
