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.

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.

The seven chakras are the root, navel and solar plexus chakras, the heart, throat, and brow and crown chakras. The receiving and transmitting of energy from the surroundings, the individuals involved and other essential surrounding elements involves these chakra points. The mystical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, corporeal and psychological issues of an individual are influenced by the activity of the chakras.

There is a common thread that runs through the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, the explanation of modern psychology of human thought processes and consciousness, or the Hindus mystical perception of the external and internal experience of an individual. That is that the chakras are indeed distinct concerning their definitions or explanations.

One important thing to realize is that Chakras are constantly in motion even if you are asleep because they constantly affect your body. The ways that Chakrah can effect your body include the glandular process, physical disorders, and even our thoughts and appearance. Therefore, if one of the seven Chakras are harmed then it will affect our body in a negative way and can affect our well being.

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.

It is important that you realize all major illnesses are related to one of the seven main chakras. There may not be physical evidence yet of the illness, but emotions or worries from past events in our lives may still effect us today emotionally as well as spiritually.
