In traditional Indian medicine and spiritual science, the physical body is more than merely bones, muscles, and organs encased in skin. Instead, it includes layers of energy fields that surround the physical body. These interconnected metaphysical layers create the body's electromagnetic field, or aura. This is what's known as the subtle body, also referred to as the "light body," "etheric body," or "spiritual body."
What are Chakras?
​
In yoga, life force energy, otherwise known as "prana" travels through the subtle body through a series of channels, called "nadis." These nadis intersect at points of intensified energy, called " chakras. " A Sanskrit word for " wheel." Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy in the subtle body that correspond to various glands along the spine and inside the skull.
According to yoga philosophy, the human body has seven major chakras. Each chakra governs specific behaviours and values in our lives, such as material security, communication, love, drive and spirituality.
The chakras also regulate various bodily systems, like the endocrine system, skeletal system, nervous system etc. Each chakra corresponds to an element, to a "mantra" a specific color along the rainbow spectrum and has many more attributions.
​
The chakras can become blocked when natural healthy energy struggles to flow freely due to negative behavioural patterns and habits either emotionally, physically or spiritually that hinder its movements. This causes the life force to become sluggish, which can lead to depleted physical, mental, and emotional health.
Practicing yoga purifies and revitalizes the nadis and chakras, and allows prana to once again flow freely.
