Chakras are energy centres. Although most people have heard of seven chakras, there are actually 114 in the body. The human body is a complex energy form; in addition to the 114 chakras, it also has 72,000 “nadis,” or energy channels, along which vital energy, or “prana,” moves. When the nadis meet at different points in the body, they form a triangle. We call this triangle a chakra, which means “wheel.” We call it a wheel because it symbolizes growth, dynamism and movement, so even though it is actually a triangle, we call it a chakra. Some of these centres are very powerful, while others are not as powerful. At different levels, these energy centres produce different qualities in a human being. The chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. … The function of the chakras is to spin and draw in this energy to keep the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health of the body in balance. Chakras are Sahastra, Agna chakra, Vishuddhi chakra, Anahata chakra, Manipura chakra, Swadhishthana chakra, Muladhara chakra
