Chakras are the different energy vortexes within us. They are the energy that keeps us running. Like the engine in a car, if the engine is running fine, then the car will take us wherever we want to go. Same goes for the Chakras. If the Chakras are clear and have nothing blocking the energy within, and they are functioning correctly, then we have no problems in health or otherwise.
Most humans today have at least 2 - 3 or more damaged or blocked Chakras. This throws the person off balance and they also tend to have health problems.
Cleansing the Chakras by releasing negative energy which you no longer need, unblocks and heals the Chakras. You have been taught to suppress a lot of emotions, not take responsibility for your actions, or put things off on others, with this, you have blocked a clean clear energy flow. It is very simple to cleanse Chakras, you just need to remember how.
Chakras are very delicate, but strong energy forces in you life. They are the base energy of your being and holds your memory energies for you. Unlike the Soul, the Chakras hold memory energies which are the feeling and emotion you experience with the lesson you chose to learn. The memory energy is not stored for good, only until you learn to release this energy which you no longer need since the lesson is done.
This is where a lot of you get confused. What is being said is that when you learn the lesson, some wipe the memory from the mind and soul, and not the energies which you have stored within the Chakras. This is where it is done incorrectly. You are to hold the memory of the lesson so you can look back on it for future reference, but not hold on to the energies. This is why a lot of people have a hard time in a new relationship or do not try new things because of a stored emotion and/or feeling from a lesson already learned in this life and/or from a past one.
There are major and minor Chakras throughout the body, along with Nadis or Meridians. The Nadis or Meridians are located at approximately 741 different points throughout the entire body. They constitute a line of electrical energy and are also known as acupressure or acupunture points. The Minor Chakras are energy point zones where several energy points converge, such as in the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet. The Major Chakras are located where many points of energy converge and create a major center or vortex of power and energy. There are 7 Major Chakras beginning with the Base or Kundalini energy chakra (red), located at the bottom of the spine and moving up to the Crown Chakra (lavendar or clear) located at the top of the head. There are higher Chakras located above the Crown Chakra as well as the *new age* chakra (thymus) located between the Heart and the Throat.
