Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or cycle. There are seven main chakras situated from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. This ancient belief still exists in New Age styles of thought.
Chakras are thought to provide subtle energy that helps your organs, mind, and intellect work at their best level. Medical studies have not thoroughly examined Chakras and spiritual energy. Like any religion or belief, the power of suggestion and simple awareness can keep you in touch with your body or mood and more in control.
