Chakra Healing
History and Significance of Chakras
Chakra healing is rooted in the ancient Indian system of Ayurveda and yoga, dating back thousands of years. The concept revolves around the chakras, which are various focal points used in a variety of ancient meditation practices, collectively referred to as Tantra, or the esoteric or inner traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Chakras are seen as spinning wheels of energy located along the spine, each corresponding to specific nerve bundles and internal organs.
The system traditionally includes seven major chakras, each associated with different aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Chakra healing aims to balance these energy centers, promoting health, happiness, and harmony in the individual's life.
