Energy Healing & Chakra Balancing
A chakra is a center of energy. Chakras are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We can commonly count 7 chakras positioned throughout the body, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is depicted through a specific chakra color, and governs specific functions. Chakras are energy points or knots in the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels, called nadiis. Nadis are channels in the subtle body through which the prana (life force) or vital energy, moves. Various scriptural texts and teachings present a different number of chakras. There are many chakras and 72,000 nadis in the subtle human body, according to the tantric texts, but there are 7 chakras and 14 nadis that are considered to be the most important ones. Their name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning", but in the yogic context a better translation of the word is 'vortex or whirlpool'. The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. While breath channels (nāḍiis) of yogic practices had already been discussed in the classical Upanishads, it was not until the eighth-century Buddhist Hevajra Tantra and Caryāgiti,
