Chakras are defined as any of several points of physical or spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy. Chakra balancing includes clearing negative energy and opening each major Chakra to bring balance and harmony to your overall energy flow. Chakra work is a term to describe the gamut of modalities & techniques that seek to harmonize the energies of the chakras and promote well-being.
Whereas meridians are an energy transportation system, chakras are energy stations / centers. Chakras are spirals of energy. They spiral above and, at the same time, permeate specific areas of the body. They also interact with the energies that surround the body. The energy centers within and around your body are influenced by your thinking habits. The seven main chakras are doorways for Life Force Energy, also known as Ki, Prana, or Ch’i. Your chakras receive and radiate energy constantly.
The goal is to keep the chakras open and balanced with energies that are positive, and to correct the negative energy effects that can block the harmonious flow of Life Force Energy. Almost everyone is prone to worry or obsessing about life occasionally. Consequently, you may experience fatigue or listlessness without realizing why.
