Introduction
Chakras are widely talked about, but not everyone knows what exactly chakras are. These are bundles of energy that, when activated, work at a higher frequency to balance all energies, thus helping in the healing of the body.
Focusing on chakras is a type of meditation that is not new. In Indian Vedic tradition, chakra meditation is an ancient practice. The word “Chakra” means “circle,” and it is believed that these are points where energies accumulate.
It is said that there are 109 chakras, with 108 in the physical body and one in the astral body, commonly called the “aura.” There are seven main chakras that people specifically focus on during meditation, each representing different emotions and significance in our body.
