[Neha]

The spine and the human energy field contain chakras, or energy centers, that vibrate at different frequencies. Each chakra presents us with the opportunity to establish a root relationship and to satisfy a deep soul desire. Each frequency holds the gift of a certain power, which enhances our human experience on Planet Earth. As we tune into this power, we are internally empowered to deal with the specific life challenges of that energy center or chakra and as a consequence to live more whole, meaningful and fulfilling lives. There are seven main chakras in your body that need to be open. they are root chakra, solar plexus, third eye, heart chakra, , crown chakra and the throat chakra. extra important ones are sex chakra, navel chakra and aura

*Although traditionally there are 7 major chakras, the spine and even our subtle body contain many other chakras. Through meditation on my spine and body I experienced that the solar plexus - the area above the navel and under the heart-contains energy and offers experiences and powers very different from the navel chakra. Explore yourself and share with me what you discover. (GKK)
