WHAT ARE THE CHAKRAS

The chakras are considered psycho-spiritual constituents, each bearing meaningful correspondences to cosmic processes and their postulated Buddha counterpart.

The earliest written record of the chakras, written in the ancient Sanskrit, comes from the Veda’s, which are ancient Indian texts that describe the philosophy of yoga and meditation, written between 1500 and 500 BCE . The Sanskrit word “Chakra” literally translated is “wheel” or “disk” spinning wheel.

The seven chakras of spinning wheels/disks are vortexes of energy that run up and down along the spine, from the base to the top of the head.

Typically references a spiritual energy centre, with each transducer of energy relating to different emotional and physical functions in the human body in tune with your nervous system, your organs, your thoughts, and your emotions flowing throughout your mind, body and spirit. Each chakra plays a role in your body

Through these seven chakras of consciousness we move from the lower self, or unconscious state, to the higher self or conscious state.

When chakras meet neuroscience

Doctor Candace Pert wrote about the concentration of peptide and receptors around the chakras, the physical correlates of emotions are clustered at the chakra points.  She released a CD about this called, “Your Body is Your Subconscious Mind”, it suggests that emotions are the bridge between the physical and the spiritual.

Each of the seven chakras along the spine, serve different purposes in the body. Besides playing an important role in the optimal functioning of the different set of organs, glands and systems in the human anatomy but they also allow us to experience and move through the different layers of this physical realm.

It is through the seven main chakras that we experience growth, and evolve when all chakras are balanced and in harmony, we are able to fully live our best lives.
