Friends, I'm in the process of installing an updated site design. Things might look a little rough for a while as I work the kinks out! Thanks for being patient.
Seven Chakra Chart:
The Basics You Need To Know About The Chakras
© Little_prince | Dreamstime.comThe chakra chart below gives some basic information about each of the 7 chakras.
Chakras are energy centers, or portals in the human energy field. Located along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head, they are conceived of as whirling, wheel-like vortices through which universal/cosmic energy flows into and out of a person.
There are seven major chakras, plus many minor ones. Each chakra corresponds to specific glands, organs, and facets of your being. (For readers on phones and tablets, this chart may not render well on some devices, and I haven't been able to figure that out, so apologies if that's the case for you. --Nancy)
