What are Chakras?

Science has proven that each cell in our bodies gives off small electromagnetic radio waves, almost imperceptible to all but the most sensitive of equipment. Our body as a whole unifies a complex array of these cells into a living, breathing and thinking organism that is a miracle of nature.

With this is mind, it isn't much of a leap to consider that these cells, working in tandem, may be capable of something far more advanced than we are aware of. We already know that the heart, lungs and brain are capable of performing unbelievable feats on a daily basis. This is just one example of cells working together towards a common goal.

Many religious texts refer to energy centres distributed througout different regions of the human body. Often they are nearby major organs or nerve centres in our spine. These energy centres are often referred to as Chakra, a word descended from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disc.

Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy and light that greatly affect our well-being, whether we are aware of them or not. It is generally agreed that there are seven major chakras distributed throughout the human body. There are also many more minor energy points known as meridians which play a slightly less important role in your well-being.

Many people around the world claim to be able to see these spinning energy vortexes emanating from our bodies. While this seems ludicrous at first, with a lot of training and dedication almost anyone can learn to see them. Most experts are clairvoyant, psychic or perceptually gifted, and have practised extensively to see these fields. The field of energy surrounding our bodies are called auras, and are explained in further detail on the next page.
