The Seven Chakras

The Seven Chakras

Chakras come from ancient tradition, and have been studied for many years.A good psychic can collect a great deal of information in a chakra reading, as they contain huge amounts of data about our lives, past, present and future.

So what exactly is a chakra? Our chakras are the main energy centres located in seven different locations in our bodies. Each of these seven chakras is connected to a different organ or gland and has a spiral of energy flowing through it. If this energy becomes blocked and the chakra is not well balanced, it can manifest into a problem, affecting us on a physical, emotional or spiritual level. For this reason it is important to understand how to tap into the chakras and how they work in order to keep your energy flowing freely.

We will be looking in depth at each of the Seven Chakras over the coming months, however we will begin with a short introduction to the chakras and their various associations.
