So what is a Chakra??

Chakras were first studied in ancient Hindu. Chakra, by definition(Sanskrit), means wheel or vortex and refers to the 7 energy centers of the body. Chakras are not physical but are energy systems.

The wheels of energy, regulate the flow, through our energy system- by way of pumps and valves. The functions are regulated by the way we react to issues and the environment around us. Chakras interact with our physical body, by way of the endocrine system and nervous system.

There are 7 Chakras, that are associated with the one of the 7 endocrine glands and also with the a group of nerves(plexus).

When you are under stress, you will feel that with the associated Chakra and that part of your body. When a person finds a way to eliminate that stress, you then release that negative energy and allow the wheels to spin in a, yet again, positive way.

I have an example....a friend of mine, her husband was diagnosed with Esophageal, Stage 4, Cancer. Her husband, was trained military, his job did not allow for him to discuss his training, nor the frustrations. Unfortunately....this also bled to his personal life and he found himself unable to express feelings, etc....all of this bottled up energy, attacked his weak wheel of energy--the throat chakra! I know this sounds silly to some but it is certainly true.

Here is a photo of the 7 Chakras:
