Chakras are the center of activity in a body – the center that produces the life force energy. The word Chakra means wheel, or disk, and it is referred to as a spinning sphere of energy.

There are six main chakras that are stacked in a column along a person’s spine, and there is a seventh that is above them, beyond the physicality of the body.

While we understand these Chakras as energy, you need to understand that these seven Chakras influence your body.
