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 thousands of chakras fall into these 7 major points which consist of: the stomach or solar plexus chakra, the 3rd eye or brow chakra, the heart chakra, sex or navel chakra, the throat chakra, the base chakra and the crown chakra. All of these areas take the energy for your surrounding and transfer it to your body. Some people have said that they can notice a difference in such things as their emotional state as well as psychological aspects and they are stimulated both intellectually and spiritually.
Whether you chose to take on a point of view that comes from the Hindus mystical perception of the external and internal experience of an individual, the modern psychology of explanation of the consciousness and thought patterns or Chinese medicine, you will find a common thread within them all. This point is that the chakras are distinct when it comes to their explanations or definitions.
Whether or not we are awake the chakras are in constant motion. This constant activity will influence the structure, appearance, physical disorders, glandular processes as well as our thoughts and deeds. However, if there is a chakra malfunction in one or more points that can be brought on by various reasons an imbalance will develop which will make itself known 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.
Contemplating with the Chakra Using the above as our point of beginning, we can safely presume that the major health ailments are due to the malfunctioning of the chakras and illnesses are concerned with imbalances in the endocrine system which indirectly affects the emotional system of our childhood that influence us spiritually, emotionally and physically.
One of the biggest causes of chakra imbalance is the repressed or forgotten emotional baggage we carry due to those past traumatic experiences. Many individuals habitually bury their bad memories into their subconscious, unaware that these emotional toxins that are buried inside them will influence their bodies on a cellular level.
Bad emotions release toxins all the way down to the cellular level. This is why it is important to eliminate bad emotions and being healing yourself with chakra.
It is important that you understand that you can control your Chakras and also that you can directly influence each and everyone of your Chakras as well as their functions. You can do this by using an array of techniques such as Reiki healing, aromatherapy, color therapy, chakra balancing with the aid of a pendulum, crystals or gemstones.
Some people would rather attend a yoga class to help maintain the balance of their chakras through physical exercises and controlled breathing.
Several other modern methods include meditation to focus on the chakras which you aim to develop; meditation in general increases awareness or motivation for attaining things that you desire in life. A guided period with meditation CD or audio tape might give you encouraging relaxation techniques and a natural healing mode in order to reduce stress and promote relaxation leading the mind to focus easily in peace.
Although we cannot see or feel our chakras, they work alone to help sustain our bodies in several ways.
It is a fact that our bodies must be fed the proper foods in order to maintain our chakras. There are specific foods that are beneficial to major chakras.

Nuts, vanilla, cinnamon, sweet fruits and seeds such as caraway and sesame nourishes the sacral chakra that of our sexual being and creativity. Breads, cereals, pasta, yogurt, dairy products and spicy mints nourish our stomach or solar plexus chakra which enhances our sense of self love and self confidence.
In case of the heart chakra, green tea and green leafy vegetables are best nurturers. Taking in a lot of water, fruit juices and tangy fruits such as peaches and apples nourish the throat chakra.
The brow or third eye chakra which develops our sharpness of third eye sight and inner depths of our own psychical gifts is nourished by consuming grapes, blueberries, grape juice and wine.
