What Are Chakras?

Chakras are spinning wheels of life energies that travel upward through the nerve channels, e.g. meridians, in the body. These are connected to all our major organs and glands that control our body. The lower three chakras are considered to be masculine in nature and help ground us as they are concerned with the material world. The top three feminine chakras are associated with self-reflection and the spiritual aspects of life. The heart chakra is in the center and is balanced with both masculine and feminine energies. It serves to help balance all the other chakras.
