CHAKRA'S
Means Energy Wheel In Sanskrit
Chakra's are the Centres of Pyschic Energy and link The Astral & Physical Dimensions and when "blocked", create negatives.
Listed below are the Seven Main Chakra's and these are linked with many holistic healing techniques. e.g. When I am using Reiki, I unblock these energy wheels with the Reiki energy and this can then help release the malfunctions.
Also you will note that each Chakra has a colour or colours that relate to it. When using crystals in healings, the colour of the crystal is usually the same colour of the chakra. This also can apply to other colour therapies.
