Chakras InDepth FAQ

Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body. They are spinning disks of energy that should stay “open” and aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of your energetic body that affect your emotional and physical well-being.

There are actually 114 different chakras, with seven main chakras that run along your spine. These are the chakras that most of us are referring to when we talk about them. Each of the seven main chakras have a corresponding number, name, colour, specific area of the spine from the sacrum to the crown of the head, and health focus.
