The seven energy centres along the spinal column in the subtle body are known as chakras. In Yoga, the first six Chakras, Sahasrara and Anahata are hidden respectively in the upper brain and the heart. The six chakras of human body right from the base of the spine are Muladhara to Svadhisthana , Manipura Anahata,Visuddhi ,Ajna and the seventh chakra, i.e. Sahasrara chakra represents a thousand petalled lotus in the head.
In Yoga and Tantra these chakras or energy nodes are the milestones of our inner journey that starts from the level of consciousness in the body at Muladhara activating Karma(action), senses at Svadhisthana arousing passion, Prana(vital air) at Manipura for respiration, Heart at Anahata for love, Manas at Visuddhi for feelings, thoughts and speech, Chitta at Ajna for will power and decision making and self (Atman or Siva) at Sahasara Chakra for realization of the Supreme Truth
.
Each Chakra is also associated with one of the seven endocrine glands. Each organ, the human body and its functions are related to our Chakras by the nerves which connect to the endocrine glands.
Everything moves and therefore has an energy field and vibrates with its energy. Where there is vibration, there is sound. Each part of our body vibrates at a specific sound frequency which relates to each Chakra and therefore has a specific syllable associated with it. Colors also vibrate at a specific frequency so therefore each Chakra has a color code! Its spiritually scientific detail that was deciphered many years ago by the sages!!!!
Chakras mean the wheels of light in Sanskrit. Chakras are the seven power centers of the human body which circulate energies or Shakti and are aligned vertically in the center part of body near to the spine. Doing things according to the Chakra’s so as to keep them balanced will develop you spiritually and keep you healthy.
Using color and sound can return balance to our Chakras restoring health.
