The secrets behind Chakras of Human Body

There exists a very famous proverb – ‘A car can only run on four wheels and the malfunctioning of even a single wheel can result in the immobility of the car’. Similarly, our human body is blessed with the energy centers, also known as, Nadis/ Chakras, located in different parts of our body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word, which translates to wheel. Chakra literally is the joining points of Nadis. The wheels represent the expansion and dynamism in life. There are 114 chakras, out of which seven have been attributed the responsibility of creating the unique qualities in humans. These Chakras line up from the spine to the crown of the head. There are numerous energies flowing in our body – both positive & negative. It is very important to eliminate all the negativity and foul energies from inside the body to be able to lead a peaceful life.

Let me explain this through an example. We always ensure the drainpipe of our kitchen is clean enough to exterminate the dirty water and ensure that our kitchen is bacteria-free. However, if the drainpipe is choked, it will result in a foul smell, blockage of water and will give rise to disease-causing bacteria. The chakras in our body functions similarly. If the chakras are open and free, they eliminate all damaging energies from inside the body and result in a healthy life. It is important that one meditate & work hard on opening all seven chakras of body.

THE SEVEN CHAKRAS:

1- MULADHARA (Root Chakra)

For healthy growth of a plant, a healthy seed is required. Similarly, to develop the spiritual spirit in a person, a healthy and stress-free chakra is required. Muladhara is located in the base point of spinal cord. This Chakra represents physical existence, wellbeing, security and worries. The secrets behind Chakras of Human Body
