What are Chakras?

Chakras are ENERGY WHEELS strategically positioned in your plexuses from the base of the spine to the top of the head.  More are documented to extend beyond the body, but I will specifically focus on the 7 foundational wheels.  These wheels of energy complement the demands of our sympathetic nervous system and reside in three Nadis (energy channels), supported by a dormant, Shakti energy known as Kundalini.  Working with chakra energies has been linked to increase lifespans, mental health, emotional health, and personal well-being.  Each chakra is linked to organs within the body, emotional attitudes, mental attitudes, physical health (including diseases), colors, sounds, psychic talents and more.

Below I will highlight each chakra, its nature, and its specific responsibility.
