Chakras and Color Meditation

Chakras

The chakras are subtle energy vortexes in and outside of the body that are organic as much as the soul exists, but in a different spiritual areas such as yoga, meditation, tantra, Reiki and healing systems such as TCM, Ayurveda, etc. for thousands of years have their place and throughout Western body therapies such as bioenergetics and the Alexander technique, they appear again and again. The Sanskrit word chakra literally means wheel and refers to energy centers where it condenses, flows and transforms the vital energy or prana.

The seven chakras or energy centers are located main along Sushumna nadi, each representing a particular state of consciousness, and are associated with major nerve plexuses of the physical body (Arias & Steinberg, Pp.817-832).

These connection points will be thought of as a funnel, projecting several inches in front of the body surface. The chakras are invisible.
