Chakras

We have our physical bodies, and we can feel and touch most of the body parts: legs, arms, eyes, etc. It is so real for us. But we have the subtle bodies as well, those we cannot touch or see, but still, they exist. Our system has two types of the bodies: Gross body (Stula in Sanskrit) and Subtle body (Sukshama in Sanskrit).

Our subtle body consists of an aura – that has its own layers, nadis- the energy channels and charkas.

Chakras are the energy centres of the Human Energy Field, which Field spins like a wheel and opens like a funnel shaped flower. Direction of the chakras' spin changes along their sequence - from the base to the crown chakra and is different for both sexes. For males, the rotation is clockwise, starting at the base chakra, and anti-clockwise for females.

All of them are connecting us to the limitless source of Universal information/energy. The correct functioning and alignment of chakras is necessary for our physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being.

The root chakra is responsible for strengthening ties with the material world. It helps the energy of the Earth to pass into all subtle energy bodies. Thanks to Muladhara, the remaining six chakras develop. Creation of the basis for the vital activity of the human physical body such as protection of our physical and mental health, as well as to meeting our basic needs is the domain of Muladhara.
