Chakras are energy centers in the human body that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word “chakra” comes from Sanskrit and means wheel of energy. According to ancient yogic traditions, there are 7 main chakras aligned along the spine.
When these chakras are balanced, energy flows freely through the body, creating harmony and clarity. When blocked, it can lead to emotional stress, lack of motivation, or imbalance in life.
