If you think Chakras belong with conversation topics like unicorns and fairies think again! Science is discovering more and more that what these ancient healers from the east have been saying for millennia is true!
As Einstein rightly said, “everything is energy and that includes us.” These are ideas that are only just coming to be accepted in the Western World, however ancient Eastern cultures have long known about our universal relationship with energy.
Chakras are also called energy centres, and the Sanskrit word Chakra literally
translates to wheel (imagine a little spinning vortex of energy!)
You may have heard me talk in class about energy channels that run through the body-also called Nadis in Indian teachings or meridians in Chinese medicine or Yin Yoga practice. Imagine these channels snaking up the body, they have points where they criscross over one another-these points are Chakras! These intersections are super crucial to keep clear so the body can function well. Blockages to different intersections/ Chakras lead to different ailments and imbalances within the body which we will explore this week.
There are 7 key Chakras. I hope you’ll enjoy reading about them in this weeks posts and find my babble informative and relatable!
