The Chakra System
The word "chakra" means "wheel" in Sanskrit, which is a fitting description as they are circular shaped spinning energy centers which exist in our etheric body. The main chakras are seven in number and are located along the spine. Each chakra is linked to specific qualities, organs, emotions and astral planes. An imbalance in a chakra can block the natural flow of energy through it, resulting in problems which can manifest in any of the areas connected with it, be is physical, emotional etc. Often it manifests as a combination of physical, psychyological and emotional imbalances/problems, where the root problem is a blockage in the chakra energy flow which can have been caused by a traumatic or negative life experience.
Depending on the individual spiritual progression, state of emotion etc, we can usually locate each individual to operate out of, or being powered by one of a couple of chakra points which qualities will be reflected in the thoughts and actions. The chakras can be stimulated with sound like chanting and pure tones.
