Revision as of 13:18, 26 October 2001 by 194.203.69.xxx (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)This page is intended to provide information about the energy centres referred to by Indian yogic teaching as charkras.
A chakra is a locus of life energy. There are seven chakras in the body - each is an interface for the flow of life energy. A chakra vitalises a physical body and is associated with interactions of a physical, mental nature. The energy of the chakras is not measurable scientifically. This does not mean that they do not exist, of course!
The seven chakras are described as being present in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the the head. The chakras are usually associated with the colours red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
Some people say that there is an eighth chakra, white, atop the head. Some deny it, of course.
Each chakra is associated with an aspect of consciousness.
