Hindu Chakras
Chakra Energy Centers are an Eastern construct, an ancient tradition now finding widening acceptance in Western culture. These Energy Centers describe an organization of interlocking energy flow found in the unfolding consciousness of all human beings. The word Chakra derives from Sanskrit; it means both a blossoming flower and a revolving wheel. In the West, chakras or foci of energy in the body are considered interior stars or precious alchemical metals. Chakras vitalize the physical body. They are associated with interactions on all functioning layers: mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.
