THE CHAKRA SYSTEM
There are seven (7) chakras in this system.
The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning, “wheel.”
If we could see the chakras, we would observe a wheel of energy
continuously revolving or rotating.
The chakras begin at the base of the spine and finish at the top of
the head. Though fixed in the central spinal column, they are
located on both the front and back of the body and work through it.
Each chakra vibrates or rotates at a different speed. The root
or first chakra rotates at the slowest speed while the seventh
chakra or crown rotates at the highest speed. The chakra
colors are of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet.
The size and brightness of the chakras vary with individual
development, physical condition, energy levels, disease or stress.
When chakras are balanced and the energy unblocked, they rotate at
the proper speeds in a clockwise direction to metabolize the
particular energies needed from the universal energy for health.
Constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of
well-being.
This system is associated with various physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual characteristics that make it unique to specific
