The first mention of the word “chakra” dates back to about 1000 BC. and its origin is predominantly Hindu, while the concept of chakra and energy centers is present both within Ayurveda and the Chinese practice of Qigong. It is believed that there are 7 main and 21 simple chakras in the human subtle body. Each chakra is illustrated as a colored wheel rotating clockwise. It is also believed that each of the chakras rotates at its own speed and frequency. Chakras are invisible to the naked eye and connect our physical and spiritual component. All seven chakras are tied directly to a specific area and nerve center in the body. Each chakra is believed to absorb and filter the energy we generate from our thoughts and actions, as well as from the thoughts and actions of all those with whom we come into contact. In the event that any of the chakras is out of balance as a result of negative energy passing through it, it begins to rotate either too slowly or too quickly. When a chakra is out of balance, it affects the health of the area it is responsible for. In addition, an upset chakra has a specific effect on the spiritual and emotional self. Root chakra (red).
