In recent teachings, such as Anodea Judith’s books ‘Wheels of Life’ and ‘Eastern Body, Western Mind’, each chakra is not only associated with specific body glands and functions, but also with certain elements, colors, minerals, certain herbs and foods. Even various emotional, psychological and spiritual states of being can be related to chakras. People associate the chakras with their own psychological characteristics, illnesses, state of consciousness, emotions and behaviors. The most widespread system in the West is the seven-chakra system.

Chakra activation is not against the Christian religion as many may believe. Yoga teacher and author Jessamyn Stanley writes in the New York Times that modern Western society does not respect the esoteric or spiritual work at all. Many people are skeptical of the yoga now practiced in the West and this is often associated with chakras and spirituality. Since chakras are invisible, science has done little to prove their physical existence even if they act as bridges between the physical and  metaphysical worlds. Many including myself know that balanced and activated chakras are the key to living a happy and fulfilled life..

The number of large chakras varied between different traditions, but they typically ranged from four to seven. Every breath directs energy to your chakra, while every exhalation locks the consciousness into your chakras. When I tried to study energy and chakras from a biblical perspective, I found very little research on the topic, but instead encountered a lot of controversy. The seven chakras are the main energy centers of the body.

The chakras are believed to vitalize the physical body and are associated with interactions of a physical, emotional, and mental nature.

The Sahastrara chakra is located at the crown of the head. The seventh chakra is the center of spirituality, enlightenment, and dynamic thinking and energy. The scriptures, on the other hand, tell us that the chakras are very small because they are located in the astral spinal cord, which is further down the physical spinal cord.

Others feel sensations in their bodies or mental and emotional changes that correlate with the chakras. There are seven main chakras that align the spine, starting from the coccyx to the crown of the head. When it is out of balance, you can suffer from a constant sense of frustration, melancholy, and destructive feelings. It enables the flow of wisdom within and brings the gift of cosmic consciousness..

The heart chakra is connected to organs such as the heart and lungs and is thought to be in the middle of the cardiovascular system. If a chakra is low on energy, she said, you will have trouble expressing the special qualities associated with that chakra. The word chakra from Sanskrit literally means “wheel” or “disc,” but refers to a spiritual energy center in the human body. Often used as a focus in asana practice, the third eye chakra is believed to control your intellect, intuition, wisdom, and spiritual power.

Without a sense of grounding, stability, and security, it can be jarring to open the third eye or crown chakras that are associated with intuition, divine connection, and higher knowledge.

In Jainism, the term chakra also means wheel and appears in various contexts in his ancient literature. They correspond to specific organs as well as physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual states of being and influence all areas of your life.

An interesting way to practice spiritual well-being is working with the seven chakras.
