The Seven Chakras...
Seven Different Levels of Being
The seven chakras are vital energy and information centers. Chakra is a Sanskrit word literally meaning "wheel" or "disc". Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy--where spiritual energy flows into the body. There are over 800 chakras in and around the body and aura. They vary in size from the larger seven major chakras, to medium size chakras in the hands and feet, to smaller chakras around in different areas of your spiritual anatomy.
THE SEVEN CHAKRAS
