Why Balanced Chakras Are the Key to Vitality
I have explained chakras in a previous post, and provided basics on how to balance them.
Chakras are energetic forces in and around our bodies. Different schools of thought claim a different number of chakras, some located within and some just outside our bodies. There is no dispute, however, that there are at least seven chakra points within our bodies. These seven chakras are the ones I focus on.
Chakras work on us on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. The epicenter of each chakra sits in the midline or center of our body, and they rotate forming vortexes or wheels around our being. The word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. I will tell you the vitality we experience when our chakras are balanced.
How Chakras Work
Chakras regulate how energy flows through our body, and that can have an effect on us on different levels:
Physically: chakras affect our health and the functioning of our body. Chakras are linked to our nervous system and are located close to nerve centers (Rattana, 2014). They are also linked to organs and organ systems.
Mentally: chakras affect how we think, interpret, and process the information we receive and the experiences we have.
