The Seven Chakras
Chakra means, “Wheel of light” in Sanskrit. Chakras are invisible centers of spinning energy that run along our spine. There are seven major Chakras along the spine, and they concentrate and coordinate the flow of life force in and out of the body. This life force is the electromagnetic force field that surrounds all living things. If the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life force will be slowed down. The individual may feel listless, tired, despondent, or depressed. Not only will physical bodily functions be affected so diseases may manifest, but the thought processes and the mind may also be affected. A negative attitude, pessimism, fear, doubt, etc. may preoccupy the individual. You can rectify these things by balancing your chakras. A constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well being. Each chakra has a name, symbol, location, color, tone, element, and sense associated with it distinct from the other chakras.
The first chakra is the root chakra, called Muladhara in Sanskrit. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine at the tailbone in back, and the pubic bone in front.

The second chakra is referred to as the belly or Sacral chakra. It is located two inches below the navel and is rooted into the spine. This center holds the basic needs for sexuality, creativity, intuition, and self-worth. This chakra is also about friendliness, creativity, and
