Chakras

Chakras

Translated from Sanskrit, the word chakra means "wheels of light". Charkas are energy centers in our bodies. They allow us to block or absorb different kinds of energy by spinning.

There are seven main chakras. Each chakra has it's own purpose, and balancing the chakras is beneficial to an individual on many levels. There are many meditations to balance your chakras, as well as using the techinques in Reiki and other healing modalities.

Please be sure to check our meditation pages for some chakra clearing meditations. We also recommend some books on chakras listed on our recommended reading page.
