Chakras
                                                   what they are and what they represent

The concept of chakra features in tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Chakra are believed to be centres of the body from which a person can collect energy. They are connected to major organs or glands that govern other body parts. Its name derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning" (cakraṃ चक्रं [ˈtʃəkrə̃], pronounced [ˈtʃəkrə] in Hindi; Pali: cakka चक्क, Oriya: ଚକ୍ର, Malayalam: ചക്രം, Thai: จักระ, Telugu: చక్రo, Tamil: சக்கரம், Kannada: ಚಕ್ರ, Chinese: 輪/轮, pinyin: lún, Standard Tibetan: འཁོར་ལོ་, Wylie: 'khor lo).
Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body but are generally understood as being part of the "subtle body" which cannot be found through autopsy. While breath channels (nāḍis) of yogic practices had already been discussed in the classical Upanishads, it was not until the eighth-century Buddhist Hevajra Tantra and Caryāgiti, that hierarchies of chakras were introduced.[1][2]    
(taken from wikipedia )




Chakra is the widely accepted ancient term that we still use today and at its simplest level it describes the motion of the energy at certain points around the body, more specifically where two or more energy streams meet.

Although you cannot see them with the naked eye and most people can't touch or feel them you can become much more aware of them. I firmly believe it is an advantage to be more aware of your Chakra energy, especially when you realise how it links with not just your physical body but your emotions and mental activity too.

The Ancient Mystics 'saw' these energy centres and named them Chakras, as they likened the motion to that of a turning wheel or a spinning disc. There is a slight variation in positioning but by and large we tend to work with the Major Seven Chakras, though there are many more.

Each of the seven Chakras has an individual colour attributed to it. This is not by chance or random choice as each colour is proven to have its own frequency and the colours attributed to the Chakras correspond with the vibration of the energy centre itself.

Energy is all about frequency, vibration, resonance; whether that is in pulses or waves. The Colours of the Chakras are;
