Aspects of the Chakras
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. A chakra is a kind of vortex, a significant point of organized life energy. Chakras are energy centers in the body through which we draw in life energy from the cosmos. There are seven main chakras seated in the body. They are vertically aligned with the spinal column from its base to the top of the head.
The chakras transmit and receive energy on all levels from the etheric to the physical. It is through this continued process that we contact and interact with other people and our environment.
The first center is the Root or Base Chakra. The Sanskrit name is Muladhara, meaning root/support. It rests in the perineum at the base of the spine or the end of the coccyx. It is the location of the resting Kundalini and it is the closest to the earth. It regulates the sense of smell and relates to survival, grounding, money, contact to the earth, health and possessions. Parts of the body that can be affected are the Nervous system, the spine, the kidneys, the legs, the feet and the large intestine. It controls the adrenal cortex. It is the center of vitality and physical energy. Blockages can result in lack of inspiration and tiredness, obesity, constipation, sciatica and degenerative arthritis.
