The word chakra is derived from the Hindu (Sanskrit) root which is defined as a disk or wheel. All living beings are believed to have chakras. They are the channels through which energy flows. They are also present in the spiritual body which lies within the physical body.
Man know thyself; then thou shalt know the universe and God. – Pythagoras
Due to modern science, we have learned that there are certain colors which stimulate mental activity while other colors can calm the mind. The energy that comes from light is necessary for our well being since it nourishes our brain, emotions, physical body, and most importantly our chakras. Each and every chakra within our bodies radiates an energy of vibration and govern over major organs and glands connected to different body parts that reasonate of the same frequency. Having properly balanced and aligned chakras will make you happier, healthier, and more in tune with yourself.
When you have one of your chakras centers become out of sync, this may cause the organs and glands that it are connected to become affected as well. Having chakras that are out of sync also causes the chakras neighboring them to go out of sync like a chain reaction. This begins to lead to other bodily imbalances. Chakras can become out of balance when they are over active, under active, or possibly congested or blocked. These bodily imbalances are almost always felt at an emotional, physical, or even mental levels. The benefits to energizing your chakras and learning about them are primarily for a harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Many believe and preach that your mind or diet alone can nurture your well being. However, that is not actually the case. It is through your chakras that you can learn to balance all of you, which brings you into a more healthier state of consciousness.
Each chakra is connected to an organ or gland which governs over a section of the body. The order of the chakras start from the bottom and they go up from there. Think about the following; when breaking light apart, you get seven colors. These are the same seven colors that our physical bodies are harnessed to. So what would you see if you were to look at a human body through an etheric prism? Are we beings of light?
Not only is each chakra connected to an organ or gland, but each chakra has its own unique and very specific trait. The video above gives you a more in depth look at the world of chakras.
