This is an index of the seven major Chakras
Chakras are points
of energy in our bodies that help our body, mind, and spirit function at peak
levels, and transmit energy between the psychic, astral, mental, and emotional
levels of of our consciousness.
THE ROOT CHAKRA-
There are many
chakras, but these are the principle 7, and they are the most important.
'Chakra'" is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. The word was also a metaphor for the
sun (which was like a wheel in the sky) and denotes the great eternal wheel of
time, representing celestial order and balance.
Our bodies are integrally linked to our minds, and the chakras correspond with
different, specific aspects of how our bodies, minds, and spirits work together
to create one living being. To heal is to align the Chakras as they were meant

Chakras can be visualized by imagining a spinning wheel of light or fire. When
opening a chakra, you can place a corresponding stone on the location of the
chakra, and visualize your wheel of light as being the corresponding color. You
don't have to work with stones in order to work with chakras. Then meditate and
visualize your chakra, focusing on opening it, and then allowing yourself to
meditate on what you want to achieve. For example, if you want to heighten
clairvoyance, or meet a spirit guide, you can meditate on your third eye chakra.
