Chakras are the centers of spiritual power in the human body, our body is much more than the organs of our body and as years go by It is more accepted that everything is energy (qi, ki, mana, prana, life force,…) with its’ specific vibrational frequency.
Our body has a human energetic field which extends beyond our physical body (aura).
the naming Chakra comes from the Sanskrit word cakra = wheel it’s originating from ancient Indian traditions and mentioned first in texts like the Vedas (ancient Hindu texts) around 1,500 BCE. Later on through the years many other cultures such as Egyptians, Chinese, Sufis, Hindus, Greek , Inca, the Maya and many more mentioned it.
The Chakras are thought to be spinning wheels of energy vortexes which exists within each of us that correspond to different physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being.
The chakra system connects and supports our physical body and our energy field.
All living things have chakras – energy vortexes.
