What are Chakras?
 
Chakra is a Sanskrit term literally translated to “wheel”.  We can visualize a chakra as a spinning wheel of energy located in various places along the spine in our bodies.
 
There are seven main chakra points beginning at the base of the spine, with the last located a few inches above the crown of the head.  Each chakra vibrates (spins) at a different frequency, and are often associated with colors associated with those frequencies.
 
Each chakra is also associated with different physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual characteristics.  If any chakra is either spinning too quickly (overactive), or spinning to slowly (underactive), imbalances or blockages will manifest in particular areas of your body, your mental ability, your emotional state, or your spiritual expression.
