Chakra - The Energy Center

Chakras are the energy centers of human body. The Yogoupanishads and patanjali Sutra speak about Chakras in human body, there are seven basic chakras, and they all exist within the subtle body, overlaying the physical body.. The old literature says that there are total 88000 chakras in human body. Modern science has acknowledged that these seven Chakras correspond to the seven main nerve ganglia which emanate from the spinal column.

Each chakra is associated with certain attribute of human being and particular energy of nature. These energy centers are blocked primarily with impressions created by programming of society. These Chakras interface and correspond with body, mind and energy giving inputs to each other, while interacting with external world in the form of symptoms. The symptoms what we see are representation of these energy Chakras. In a larger sense whole creation is the symptom what we see. Being aware and opening up these chakras takes one through journey of Self Realization. Cleaning up of these 7 Chakras, clears consciousness and helps in self actualization. The divine energy flow through us and this is achieved through meditation practices with right Guidance of Guru.

Doctors help human beings through chemical inputs to cure the symptoms, but symptoms may repeat over a period of time. Wholistic approach requires experience of complete human consciousness which is the cause of human body, mind and soul interface. Aligning the body and energy centers with the help of right guidance and selfless blessing of the Guru is ultimate solution in the path of self realization.



Human body has 7 Chakras. Moving from base to head center takes us from individuality to universal consciousness. At this level Jiva becomes one with universal consciousness and experiences freedom and blissfulness.
