Energy wheels of our body or the Chakra System

Chakra is a word in hindi language meaning a wheel. Our human body has got several energy wheels running through our body. These energy wheels are called Chakras. They are stacked one upon another on a central axis, very similar to our back bone like structure. Each Chakra corresponds to one of our Endocrine Glands Each of the chakras controls specific organs and performs specific functions in your body, directly affecting your health and well-being.

There  are seven such chakras in our body located all along the spine and starting from our tail bone and ending at the top of our skull. The first chakra is  called the "Muldhara Chakra or The Root Chakra" and the last chakra is called the "Crown Chakra or Sahasrara Chakra".

Muladhara Chakra relates to legs, feet, lower back, bones and Kidneys. Imbalance or blockages in this energy wheel leads to diseases of above organs. Arthritis, knee pains and Spinal tension are some of the problems caused by imbalance in Muldhara Chakra.

Just slightly above the Root Chakra is the Second Chakra called Sacral Chakra or Swadhistan Chakra situated near the navel and controls the reproductive system, bladder and lower intestines. Imbalance or blockages in this energy wheel may cause negative emotions like jealousy and anger, bladder problems and other sexual problems.

Third energy chakra is called "Manipura Chakra" located at the upper stomach, at the Navel. Sometimes called the Navel Chakra.  It controls the stomach, liver  and gall badder  whereby it is related to the function of digestion.
