Seven Kundalini Chakras in Our Body

Chakra is a Sanskrit term that means "wheel of light." Each chakra spins, creating an electromagnetic radiation energy field that surrounds our physical body that is known as the Aura. The chakras are often called lotuses, each petal representing certain constituent energies.

A chakra is always "open," since it is the union of spirit and matter manifested as consciousness. The soul as consciousness pervades and holds its bodies of manifestation together as a cohesive, functional unit through certain focal points. In the Indian tradition, these points or centers of force are called Chakras.

In a person of high spiritual development they are seen to revolve at great speed, and eventually to become spheres of radiant energy. In those of lesser spiritual development, the centers are not so active, giving the impression of saucer-like depressions on the surface of the etheric body. 

The theosophist C. W. Leadbeater places the chakras on the front of the body. Tibetan and Indian literature places them along the cerebrospinal axis. The Master Djwal Khul says that they lie some three inches behind the spinal column.

A chakra is constantly spinning and recycling energy to our aura. Although a chakra may never be closed, it may be blocked. This can lead to energy imbalances and disease.

Chakras may be described as short, swirling, miniature black holes of color from our tailbone to the top of our head, aligned along the spine. They are identical in shape and size.

The main function of the seven chakras is to mediate all energy coming into, within, and leaving our physical body. This distribution mechanism is necessary for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual functioning.
