Chakras

What are the Chakras?

According to the ancient Hindu and yogic traditions, there are seven main energy centres in the subtle body. Known as Chakras, these centres start from the base of the spine up to the crown of the head.

Each chakra is connected to unique aspects of our Being. Knowing what each chakra represents allows us to become aware of those aspects so we can experience them and learn what we can do to keep the energy flowing freely.
