Chakra is a Sanskrit term meaning circle or wheel. It is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word chakra refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerves branching from the spinal column. There are six of these wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. And the seventh which is beyond the physical region.

The primary chakras are:

1. Muladhara - lower body
2. Swadhisthana - reproductive parts
3. Manipura - navel
4. Anahata - heart
5. Vishuddha - throat
6. Ajna - eyebrow or forehead
7. Sahasrara - top of head

The seven principal chakras are said to reflect how the unified consciousness of humanity is divided to manage different aspects of earthly life (body/instinct/vital energy/deeper emotions/communication/having an overview of life/contact to God). The chakras are thought to vitalize the physical body and to be associated with interactions of a physical, emotional and mental nature. The function of the chakras is to spin and draw in this energy to keep the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health of the body in balance.
