What are Chakras?
Originating from the Sanskrit word "wheels" or "discs," chakras refer to the spinning wheels of energy centres that exist within our body. There are major and minor chakras, whereby each of them corresponds to different areas of our well-being; mentally, emotionally and physically.
The Seven Chakras, the most well-known major chakras, are located along the spine of our subtle body. Each chakra corresponds to our specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. And if there are any blockages in the chakras, it can cause issues in the corresponding areas. If there is an issue with one of the chakras, it can have a ripple effect on the other chakras as well.
