Chakras
Chakras are a complex and ancient energy system that originated in India. They were first mentioned in the Vedas, ancient sacred texts of spiritual knowledge dating from 1500 to 1000 B.C. We have major and minor chakras in our energetic body systems. Some traditions recognize 114 different chakras, but most people refer to the seven major chakras located along the body’s midline, from the base of the spine to the very top of the head. Each chakra has its own color, stone, element, and vibrational frequency, and controls some part of the energies that define humanity – and thus our psychological qualities. In Sanskrit, the word chakra means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the rotating or spinning energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra. Explore the seven body-spirit energy vortexes called chakras and discover powerful healing techniques for working with your energy flow to help you overcome imbalances that block your spiritual progress. Enjoy the OM Experience of Chakradance and learn the energies of each chakra; survival, sexuality, power, love, creativity, intuition, spirituality, and bring your energies into balance and alignment. Namaste.
