What are the 7 Chakras?

I have a confession.  I am fascinated by holistic therapies and the like (in case you hadn't already guessed).  One thing I am very interested in are the Chakras and how they can help bring balance to you and your body.  I don't know how real or true it is, but there are people that find this very important and intrinsically apply it to their life and how they behave, think and act.  I do think though that there is a lot that can be said for anything that helps you to be a better human being and that gives you guidance on that and how you can be true to yourself.  

The 7 Chakras

Crown Chakra

Functions: Wisdom, transcendence, universality

The Third Eye Chakra

The Throat Chakra

The Heart Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra

The Sacral Chakra

The Root Chakra

Let’s start with a brief definition. What is a chakra? A chakra (pronounced “cha”-“kra” with a resounding “ch”) is a center of energy. Originating from Sanskrit, it literally means “wheel” by association with its function as a vortex of spinning energy interacting with various physiological and neurological systems in the body. Chakras are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to to the immune system and emotions. We can commonly count 7 chakras positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, that is depicted through a specific chakra color, and governs specific functions that help make you, well, human.
