WHAT ARE CHAKRAS

This view of the body is ancient. All religions teach it one way or another. The physical body is a series of seven energy centers located along the spinal column or seven levels of internal power. Each level of power is aligned to the physical system in the body and it relates to internal and external issues that are part of our life. A chakra is a location where two or more nadir (or meridians) cross. They are constantly coming in and going out.

DEFINE THE INFLUENCE OF CHAKRAS ON ONE ANOTHER

We develop spirituality by learning the lessons of each level of power. Chakras represent an intersection of physical matter and consciousness. Chakras are said to support hormones and endocrine system, they are constantly transmitting and receiving energy. Chakras enhance the flow of energy in our physical bodies. Chakras influence others and keep our life in balance.

NAME SOME EXAMPLES HOW CHAKRAS AFFECT YOUR DAILY LIFE

During the challenges of my divorce, I was feeling pooled in opposite directions. My meditation practice of actively visualizing the energy of each of the chakras, helped me to center myself and helped me realize what really matters in life is inner peace.
