Each person has what is called a life force energy and this is run by their chakra. It is said that the chakra is actually an axis point on the body that talks with that life force energy. Most people are not aware that the word chakra is actually a Sanskrit word. The meaning of the word is a sphere of mans aural energy or a constantly whirling wheel.
Hindu text tells us that there are over 88,000 chakra points in each of our bodies. The most vital of these chakra points are those which run along the spinal column up to the crown of the head. These are the seven chakra points.
From the base of the spine and upward, we have the root chakra, navel chakra, the stomach or solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the brow or third eye chakra and the crown chakra which forms the seven major chakras of the body. These chakras are the main receiving and transmitting energy points in the human body influencing the spiritual, mystical, emotional, intellectual, corporeal and psychological conditions of the person.
Chakras have been described in several different ways, but all of these descriptions have one common characteristic. Whether it be from the Chinese medicinal point of view or the Hindu point of view these descriptions are all similar. It is the understanding of the experiences of people and the way that the human mind thinks and goes through different emotions.
Irrespective of our knowledge, the chakras and the energy flow through them are in constant motion. This constant movement influences our normal structure, appearance, physical disorders, glandular processes as well as our thoughts and actions. However, if there is a chakra imbalance in one or more points that can be brought on by various reasons, the equilibrium will get lost and this imbalance will be felt in other areas of our being.
Each of the seven chakras associates with a specific endocrine gland of our body. Imbalance to the proper functioning of a chakra it will impact the emotional and physical processes of the body. Eventually, it will expose itself as a disorder of some type in the normal patterns of activity and or behavior in the associated endocrine gland.
It is extremely important to attempt to maintain Chakra balance by using the above as a starting part. It is important that you realize all major illnesses are related to one of the seven main chakras.
