The Chakras

The word Chakra originates from Sanskrit and means "wheel". The chakras are energy vortices located in the aura. The aura is made up of different layers and each has its own energy pattern. The chakras serve as energy receiver, transformer and transmitter and are, therefore, the gateway for energy and life in the physical body.

Each chakra corresponds to a certain aspect of human behaviour and development. The lower chakras, whose energy vibrates slowly, are connected to the basic human requirements and emotions. The finer energy of the upper chakras corresponds to the higher mental and spiritual endeavours and abilities.

The location of the seven main chakras:

The seven main chakras correspond to the endocrine glands of the body. Smaller energy centres are, however, spread over the whole body (e.g. in the palm of the hand, on the soles of the feet, knees etc.). Depending on the condition of the chakras we can be affected by positive or negative energy, which sets the chakra in motion.
