Hindu Chakra

The Hindu Chakra System

Chakra Energy Centers are an Eastern construct and ancient tradition that is now finding widening acceptance in Western culture. This is so because these Energy Centers describe an organization of interlocking energy flow found in the unfolding consciousness of all human beings, be they Easterner or Westerner.

The word Chakra derives from Sanskrit; it means both a blossoming flower and a revolving wheel. In the West, chakras or foci of energy in the body are considered interior stars or precious alchemical metals. Chakras are purported to vitalize the physical body. They are associated with interactions on all layers of functioning: mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.
