CHAKRAS & THEIR BENEFITS

 Chakras are various focal points used in a variety of ancient meditation practices, collectively denominated as Tantra, or the esoteric or inner tradition of Hinduism. In Hinduism seven chakras are mentioned, in our Vedic scriptures there are many references given about seven Chakras as meditative visualizations combining flowers and mantras and as physical entities in the body. The Chakras are traditionally considered meditation aids. The yogi progresses from lower chakras to the highest chakra blossoming in the crown of the head, internalizing the journey of spiritual ascent. The seven chakras are the main energy centers of the body. You've probably heard people talk about 'unblocking' their chakras, which refers to the idea that when all of our chakras are open, energy can run through them freely, and harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit. Chakras translate to 'wheel' in Sanskrit, and you can imagine them like wheels of free-flowing positive energy.

The Chakra Methodology is extensively developed in the goddess tradition of our Hinduism called Shaktism. It is an important concept along with Yantras, Mandalas, and Kundalini Yoga in its practice. Chakras in Shakta tantrism means circle, an energy center within, as well as being a term for group ritual such as in chakra-puja (worship within a circle) which may or may not involve tantra practice. The chakra-based system is a part of the meditative exercise that came to be known as Yoga.

The chakras are thought to vitalize the physical body and to be associated with interactions of a physical, emotional, and mental nature. The function of chakras is to spin and draw in this energy to keep the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health of the body in balance. The chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. The chakras are visualized as lotuses or flowers with a different number of petals in every chakra.

Chakra means energy Centre in our body and every Chakra is regulated by a planet so depicts the characteristics of that planet. It maintains our physical, mental, and spiritual characteristics.

These Chakras depict the solar system.
