Chakras

Chakras

Our body is composed not only of physical elements such as muscles, bones, nerves, organs, glands, etc.; it also has a subtle energy system and Chakras through which 'life force energy' flows.

The energy bodies house our Chakras, enabling them to work somewhat like valves by facilitating the circulation of life force energy through the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centres of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed. Chakras, or energy centres, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system.

When you feel tension in your consciousness, you feel it in the Chakra associated with that part of your consciousness experiencing the stress, and in the parts of the physical body associated with that Chakra. Where you feel the stress depends upon why you feel the stress. The tension in the Chakra is detected by the nerves of the plexus associated with that Chakra, and transmitted to the parts of the body controlled by that plexus. When the tension continues over a period of time, or to a particular level of intensity, the person creates a symptom on the physical level.
