Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit.

According to buddhist, hinduist, and Qigong traditions, chakras are energy centers located in our bodies. When energy is blocked in any of them, it can lead to emotional or physical energy imbalance.

There are seven major chakras, each acting as a focal point for specific aspects of our consciousness and related to one of the glands of the body’s endocrine system. Each chakra is also associated to one of the seven colors of the rainbow spectrum.
