What Is a Chakra?
The 'Chakra System' is actually a Model of How the Mind and Body works.
‘Chakra’ is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven main energy centers of which our consciousness, our energy system, is composed.
These chakras, or energy centers, function as pumps or valves, regulating the flow of energy through our energy system b. The functioning of the chakras reflects decisions we make concerning how we choose to respond to conditions in our life. We open and close these valves when we decide what to think, and what to feel, and how we choose to perceive and experience the world around us.
The chakras are not physical, per say. They are aspects of our consciousness similarly like our auras are aspects of our consciousness. The chakras are more dense than the auras, because of the amount of energy which flows through them, but not as dense as the physical body. Chakras interact with the physical body through two major vehicles, the endocrine system and the nervous system. Each of the seven chakras is associated with one of the seven endocrine glands, and also with a group of nerves called a plexus. Thus, each chakra is associated with particular parts of the body and particular functions within the body controlled by that plexus or that endocrine gland to which it is associated.
All of your senses, all of your perceptions, all of your possible states of awareness, everything it is possible for you to experience, can be divided into seven categories. Each category is associated with a particular chakra. Thus, the chakras represent not only particular parts of your physical body, but also particular parts of your consciousness.
Understanding the chakras allows you to understand the relationship between your consciousness and your body, and to thus see your body as a map of your consciousness. It gives you a better understanding of yourself and those around you.
Maintaining balance within your chakras is important, because when your chakras are not functioning correctly this can cause the glands associated to it and surrounding it to also function incorrectly. When your chakras are not balanced you can usually feel this on both an emotional and physical level.
