The main chakras are related to the bodies major internal organs,
glands, nerve ganglia and the spinal cord. Secondary and minor
energy centres are attached to joints, minor glands and nerve
clusters, throughout the body.
The chakras transform and manipulate the bodies energy passing
energy around the body and taking care of life processes - both
physical and non-physical. They absorb and store energy from
sources around us.
Energy sources such as food, water, oxygen, sunlight,
planetary/cosmic energy, love, music. are very subtle, but all
are necessary for us to live a balanced life.
The chakras as mentioned can be seen clairvoyantly as wheels or
more commonly described as coloured vortexes, they can also be
felt or sensed as a pulsing or throbbing warm sensation. They can
be detected by dowsing or singing bowls used properly (the
vibrationary tone changs etc.). In order for a chakra to be
detected it has to be active and most of us today do not have all
there chakras 'wide open' so to speak and active.
Which is important to focus on as all the chakras need to be
functioning in order to sustain a healthy life, they are all
connected and play a part in the overall health of the physical
body.
The power of each chakra in any particular person, is reflective
of that persons individuality and lifestyle and there spiritual,
moral development. The energy from the chakras is integrated into
the aura causing the dominant colour hue seen clairvoyantly.
Just as the human body have chakras so does the earth, with 7 main energy centres spread throughout the world and hundreds of minor centres also.
The 7 main earth chakras are alleged to be located in the following countries :- Tibet, England, Egypt, Austrailia, USA.
