86Thousand400: Human Body Chakras

Chakra: is any centre or subtle body believed to be a psychic energy centre in the esoteric traditions of Indian Religions

Chakras are conceived as an energy focal point, bodily functions or psychic node in the subtle body.

Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and connected by energy channels called Nadi. In the kundalini version of yoga, breath exercises focus, in part, on mastering and chanelling energy through chakras.

Subtle body is one of a series of psycho-spiritual constituents of living beings,according to various esoteric, occult, and mystical teachings. According to such beliefs each subtle body corresponds to a subtle plane of existence, in a hierarchy or great chain of being that culminates in the physical form
