Understanding Your Energy
What Are the 7 Chakras?
In traditional Indian yogic and spiritual systems,
chakras are described as subtle energy centres associated
with different aspects of human experience.
The seven commonly discussed chakras extend from the base
of the spine to the crown of the head. Each is traditionally
associated with particular qualities, symbolic elements,
sounds and areas of awareness.
Chakra activation is often approached through meditation,
pranayama, yoga, mantra practice, visualization and
mindful self-awareness.
A balanced approach matters:
Chakra practices are spiritual and wellness practices.
They should complement—not replace—appropriate medical,
psychological or professional care when needed.
