IN THIS ARTICLE

Chakra energy and pranic energy is one of many things in this world that can be experienced first hand, but not proven by science. Millions of people around the world feel its power everyday; and though science and medicine will never fully agree to it, manifested energy, projection and meditation can have real physical results of harmony and union with the environment.

We are aware that as a reader of stories related to pranic energy, you must already be quite well versed with how it works. As a quick recap, the chakras are located at 7 points along the spine along through pranic kundalini energy is channeled. From the ground chakra to the crown of the head. 

What Is Pranic Energy?

Pranic energy is the life energy that resides in all living things. It is the essence of life, what the Chinese culture calls Chi and is referred to as the breath of life in the Hebrew Torah.

Pranic energy is what keeps our body healthy. Its balance facilitates harmony within our living system. It comes from the sun, wind and ground is absorbed within our body by the chakras.

The balance of pranic energy has positive effects on your physical and mental health.

Texts relating to the chakras are incredibly old. Some of the oldest date back to the Vedic texts from 1500 BC; that’s 3500 years ago. Over the millennia, Indian cultures have spent countless hours studying the effects of the chakras and ways to unblock them. A rush of Kundalini energy when the chakras are aligned, leads to states of higher consciousness, spirituality and clarity.

What Are The Chakras?

The chakras are seven power centers in the body that coincide with nerve bundles. They are described as spinning wheels that channel pranic energy from the root of the spine to the top of the head.

The 7 chakras are:

• Ground Chakra
• Sacral Chakra
• Solar Plexus Chakra
• Heart Chakra
• Throat Chakra
• Third Eye Chakra
• Crown Chakra

Why Are The Seven Chakras Important?

Each of the chakras govern a facet of your personality, physical and mental health. The balance of pranic energy in the chakras is important. As, when they are in balance the body can hum with the energy field of the universe and you can feel connected and in harmony within it.

What Are The Seven Chakras?

As mentioned above, the seven chakras are the ground chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra and crown chakra.

Each of the chakras govern specific attributes of your physical and mental health. The nature of each chakra depends on its location and the house of emotions and traits it governs. The chakras coincide with bundles of nerve cells in the body and cleansing or unblocking them improves the health of each organ.

We will now give a small manual on each of the seven chakras and then tell you what you can do to activate the chakra energy that resides within you.

Each of the chakras take you from a lower plain of consciousness to the higher ones. The ground chakra connects you to the earth, while its polar opposite, the crown chakra connects you to spirituality and the divine.
