Chakra is a Sanskrit word, meaning, "wheel." The human chakras are "wheel-like" vortices or saucer-shaped depressions that exist on the surface of the etheric human body.
Chakras are
energy centers. They function like receivers and transformers of the various
forms of prana (energy). Through the nadis (tube or flow or astral channels),
the chakras take in the vital energy and transform it into the frequencies
needed by the various areas of the physical bodies for nourishment and expansion.
Traditional
writings say there are 88,000 chakras in the human body. Most are extremely
small and play a minor role in your energy system. However, there are
approximately 40 secondary chakras that are of significance; these are located
in your spleen, the back of your neck, the palms of your hands, and the soles
of your feet. But for brevity purposes, we will only explore the seven (7)
primary chakras here.
Each chakra is
connected with one of the elements of earth, water, air ether, and mind – the mind
is an instrument of consciousness.
These elements
are states of matter and NOT elements as we understand them in modern
chemistry. They are equivalent to the terms: solid, liquid, fiery or gaseous,
airy, and etheric - which are somewhat equivalent to the physical, astral and
mental planes, and sub-planes.
The seven
primary chakras are located along a central vertical axis of our spine and open
toward the front of the body like a blossom. These circular energy centers are
in constant motion, rotating, attracting energy - receiving or radiating.

At the center of
each chakra, in its deepest point, is a stem-like channel that extends to the
spine and merges with it, thus connecting the individual chakra with the
sushumna (the most important energy channel) which ascends within the spine to
the top of the head.
For most people,
the chakras extend about four inches in all directions from their point of
origin. When undeveloped, they appear as small circles about two inches in
diameter, but when awakened, they are blazing, shimmering whirlpools akin to
miniature suns several inches in diameter. As one's development advances, their
chakras will extend further from the body, their frequency vibrations will
increase and their corresponding colors will become clearer and brighter.
