What are the Chakras?
Working with energy, light, and frequency in the body is NOT a newer concept by any means. Nor is it something found only in India, or in the sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda. Today, Western, allopathic medicine is embracing many of the things used by other cultures for hundreds of years as modalities for improving one's health.
The chakras are your subtle body anatomy. They are the pranic energy centers in your body. They correspond with both the nervous and the endocrine systems in the body. Examining the major nerve ganglion emerging from the spinal cord, the 7-chakra system aligns perfectly with it. Western science has come to recognize the importance of frequencies and energies in healing the body. As Nikola Tesla said, if you want to think about life, the secrets of the Universe, you need to think about energy, vibration, and frequency.
Chakras are part of an ancient metaphysical, subtle energy system that addresses the complexity of ourselves and the world around us in a simple yet systematized way. Chakras mean wheels, and they are spinning vortices of energy in the body that regulate the flow of prana or energy throughout the body. They are centers of organization for reception, assimilation, and expression of prana. The chakra system acts as a map for the journey through life, and it is the "backbone" of the yoga science.
Why are the chakras and your subtle anatomy important? According to science, approximately 85% of the brain remains unused, and much of it is not fully understood. Using prana and the chakras opens the potential to the other aspects of the brain and its functions
From a yogic standpoint, opening the chakras brings awareness of karmas, samskaras ( lingering karmas), tendencies, traits, and patterns in one's life. Through awareness, one can help make changes in one's life. It is a way to infinite consciousness ( referred to as Shiva) and creation (referred to as Shakti)
The 7-Chakra System
The 7-Chakra System
The Hindu system of 7 chakras is the most widely accepted chakra system in the world. There are many others. This is primarily because of the alignments of the chakras with the nerve ganglion along the spinal column and the endocrine system
There is further correlations with the 3 main nadis the Sushumna, Ida & Pingala and the Vagus Nerve.
Ayurveda & The Chakras
Ayurveda & The Chakras
The Chakras are an integral part of Ayurvedic healing. Ayurveda recognizes that the chakras or energy centers in the body provide direction and guidance to the physical body. Marma points or Marmani (plural) are vital energy points located throughout the body. These areas according to Ayurveda are infused with prana. Marma point therapy is part of Ayurveda and is a treatment form that requires special study. They are associated with acupuncture/pressure points.
