The Chakras

The body contains seven key chakras and many smaller ones.
Each chakra relates in part to a particular area of the body, though it may not govern all functioning in that area.
Each chakra also affects the body's overall functioning. In that way, chakras interact with the emotional, mental, and spiritual energy bodies.
Energy, meaning subtle energy, travels through the spiritual, mental, and emotional energy bodies and comes into the physical body through the chakras.
The proper development of the chakras is key to spiritual, psychological and physical well-being.
