The orientation of the body to receive, correlate and express the life forces of energy is called the chakra system. It is a word derived from Sanskrit terminology which means the aural energy sphere of a human or a continual spinning of a wheel.

Many traditional Hindu writings suggest that there are nearly 90,000 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 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.

That is that the chakras are indeed distinct concerning their definitions or explanations.

Continual activity does influence the glandular processes, physical disorders, structure and appearance as well as our actions and deeds. When one or more of the chakras malfunction for different reasons this will cause an imbalance, it then continues to make it known in other areas.

It is believed that this is due to the chakras being connected to the endocrine glad that is found in our body. If a chakra gets off balance at all then we can have what is called a disturbance in the normal behavior of the endocrine gland and all that is attached or linked to it.
